Overview
Pediatric residents, Dr Abha Athale and Dr Daniel Schmitz, visit the studio as we consider fever in the young infant. We review the history of guidelines and clinical pathways and outline a thoughtful approach to this common problem. We hope you can join us!

At the end of this activity, participants should be able to:

  1. Define true fever and explain how temperature can be affected by home measurements.
  2. Describe significant elements of the history and physical exam important for managing the febrile infant.
  3. Apply a systematic and evidence-based approach to the workup of febrile infants.
  4. Use history, exam findings, and lab studies to develop an initial management plan for a febrile infant.
