Unknown Sickness

My 13 year old daughter has ran a fever for 11 straight days. This morning we noticed a red rash on her upper body. The rash is only on her torso, not on her arms, legs, face or anything else. She states that the rash does not itch. She has had no other symptoms besides the fever. We went to the doctor 2 days ago, and she came back negative for every test. Any ideas what this could be?

when my oldest was 2 (he is 17 now) we were actually on our way home from a specialist when he got a fever for several days. nothing else. finally able to return to daycare. I got called out of school and was told he has the chicken pox.

From what I have been told (not sure how true it is) many times when a person gets chicken pox, they usually are sick for a little bit prior to getting chicken pox maybe a week or two prior. also the rash on the chest could be the early stages of it.  google what a chicken pox rash is. (that is usually the first thing with chicken pox., a rash)  I hope all goes well and she gets better soon. She might have gotten the shot for the pox, but that is not 100% thing that you won't get them
