Abstract
Fever is a common complaint of young children who seek care in the emergency department. Recent advances, such as universal vaccination with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, require the review of traditional approaches to these patients. This article discusses newer strategies in the evaluation and management of the young child with fever, incorporating changes based on the shifting epidemiology of bacterial infection.
