The Febrile Child

 

Program Description

The vaccines for Haemophilus influenza type B and Streptococcal pneumoniae have saved countless lives and prevented many disabilities. But even with the success of these vaccines, and partly because of their success, the diagnosis and management of the febrile child is still a challenge. Healthcare providers need to be aware of how the differences between age groups affect their vulnerability and guide the diagnostic and therapeutic options. Today, while there are fewer cases of pneumonia and meningitis, occult urinary tract infections are on the rise. This is a timely program with practical information on a very serious problem.
