Presented by PM Pediatric Care. Looking for a definitive algorithmic approach to the pediatric fever workup? Then you have come to the right place. We will review a comprehensive algorithm for when to obtain urine, bloodwork, CXR, and viral testing, and when to just give a nice dose of reassurance. Learning Objectives 1. Dispel common myths about fever 2. Review indications for UTI screening (age, sex, duration of fever, etc.) 3. Review indications for additional workup (bloodwork, CXR, viral testing) 4. Put it all together into a comprehensive fever algorithm
