| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Nearly seventy percent of all children between the ages of one week and two-years-of-age are brought to Kanti Children’s Hospital for some Type of febrile episode.And 50% of these visits are for temperatures greater than or equal to 39 degrees celsius. These children may have significant bacterial infection. In 35% of these childrenn there’s no definable source for the fever on clinical examination. So the child that don’t have identifiable sources could be either bacteremic, meningitis or could have a bone or joint infection in evolution. Simple clinical observation to differentiate a well looking infant from a toxic infant helps to differentiate children who needs admisson or out patient follow-up. | |
