title: [Infants and young children with fever of unknown origin. Systematic procedure based on a diagnosis-therapy diagram].
abstract: Febrile children comprise a substantial proportion of ambulatory pediatric visits. The management of febrile children needs to be structured to minimize the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes as well as the unnecessary use of antibiotics. The guidelines for the management of febrile children in this review are based on recently published data and are aimed to be recommendations until bacterial foci and pathogens are identified.
