简要总结
Fever is defined as rectal body temperature of >38°C (100.4°F), and is a common clinical symptom in pediatric age group.(nelson) The epidemiology of fever keeps on changing with the changes in host factors, climate, immunization, and various socioeconomic factors. It is thus our attempt to know the pattern as well as highlight the various risk factors of fever, so as to take steps to improve those factors. A thorough history, examination as well as multiple investigations are to be done to know the cause of fever without localising signs. The rampant use of antibiotics have increased antibiotic resistance in the population. This study wants to highlight the clinico-etiological profile of fever in children with emphasis on environmental and epidemiological risk factors so as to lay out future directive policies for their prevention at the community level and promoting rational use of antibiotics.
