What Causes Dry Constant Cough Along With High Fever And Fatigue?

My 64 year old brother has been sick for two weeks. He started with a dry constant cough and fatigue. In the last week he has developed low grade fever which goes up at night to 101. He is sleeping 12 to 14 hours at night. He had a chest x-ray which was negative and a CBC which was normal. He has been traveling in the US and was around many international students. He also was in northern wisconsin. He has not had a rash.
