Hi!
I appreciate your concern towards your wife.
Nothing to worry about it, she will be alright in due course of time!

Fever not responding to routine antibiotics associated with weight loss and raised ESR could be due to chronic infection like Tuberculosis.
Does she has cough with sputum?
Any how, she must undergo the lab investigations like chest xray, sputum analysis, and other tests to rule out tuberculosis.
Once it is confirmed complete treatment will ensure the eradication of the tuberculosis.
Besides, she must take nutritious food like high protein diets, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Regards!
