Continued Infections With High Fever After Kidney Transplant. Any Suggestions ?

My husband had a kidney transplant - 6 yrs. ago and recently felt like he had the flu except the high high fevers persisted so we went to the hospital. It has been 3 weeks and still the Infectious Disease people still do not have an answer but are giving him ceftazidine for pseudomanas aeuginosa (not sure of the spelling) as they have tried every test in the book and found that there was a mild culture growing for this subject matter. Still after 2 days, nothing has happened and he still is having the high fevers up into the 39.9 s - using Tynenol to reduce the fever at night. Do you have any suggestions.

Hi Welcome to Health care magic forum.
To be frank there are a number of infections leading to the fevers. They could be viral fevers, urinary tract infection,eosinophelia,malaria, typhoid, tuberculosis, hepatitis etc.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may have to run a series of tests for confirmation.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts and
protein rich foods to aid the recovery.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery.
