hi
you have intermittent high grade fever ,your laboratory finding are negative, so mostly you may have PUO(pyrexia of unknown origin)
just check for investigation for autoimmune disesases, fungal infection and parasitic infections,so that you can rule out the possibilities
lastly you used cifran and thrid generation cephalaosporin , but if the organism is intracellular these antibiotic cannot penetrate into the cell which results treatment failure
so kindly check for other investigations too as i mentioned above
