- II. dětská klinika LF MU a FN Brno
The paper focuses on the problem of fever in paediatric patients by a structured approach, mainly from the therapeutic point of view. Fever accompanies as a symptom number of diseases, some of them are very frequent, and some are on the other hand less frequent. The treatment of fever especially at home requires respecting certain necessary measures. A febrile newborn, infant, toddler should be optimally examined always by a paediatrician, because it is a higher risk group of paediatric patients.
