Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it is likely to be infective in origin and stool and blood cultures should be done. Also, systemic infection and rickettsia also need to be ruled out with camping history. Sometimes food related contamination may also cause the same. Antibiotics like ciprofloxacin or azithromycin may be helpful for broad-spectrum coverage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
