Rapid assessment of the febrile child

Article Abstract:

Fever in children can be assessed by use of the Yale Observation Scale, along with medical history, physical examination and sepsis workup. A rectal temperature above 100.4 degrees F is considered a fever. The Yale Observation Scale rates as normal, moderately impaired or severely impaired the quality of cry, response to parent stimulation, state variation, color, hydration and reaction to social overtures in terms of alertness or smiling. If empiric antibiotic treatment is indicated, the suggested form involves injection of ceftriaxone, possibly in conjunction with oral amoxicillin.
