Fever, severe headache, chills and night sweats

My husband has had fever of around 102 degrees, severe headache, chills and night sweats.  This has been going on for a week.  He has had blood tests, urine tested, head and chest x-rays, cat scan and spinal tap.  Nothing can be found.  The doctors say it is a severe viral syndrome that could last 10 to 14 days.  He has lost 10 pounds and is very weak and unable to stay up for very long.  He has not been able to go to work for the last 4 days.  Is there any other diagnosis for this?  He is generally a very, very healthy man.  Are there any other test to be ran?

My son has had a severe headache for approx. 6 days, he has chills and sweats, but no fever. He feels somewhat better after taking Tylenol for sinus but after the 4 hour time lapse, the symptoms are back as severe as ever. Should I be taking him to emergency, he is 22 years old.
