Saudi King Suffering From "High Fever", To Undergo Medical Tests: Report

Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest crude exporter, has for years sought to quell speculation over King Salman's health.

Saudi Arabia's King Salman is suffering from "high temperature" and joint pain and will undergo his second round of medical tests in less than a month, state media reported Sunday.

The tests will take place at a clinic at the Al-Salam Palace in Jeddah, the Royal Court said in a statement published by the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

King Salman "suffers from a high temperature and pain in the joints," the statement said. "The treating medical team decided to conduct some tests to diagnose the health condition and to ensure his health."
