AB  - Regardless  of  age,  all  toxic-appearing  infants  and  children  with  fever  require  a  full  septic  work-up,  urgent  treatment  with  broad-spectrum  antibiotics,  and  admission.Initial  management  of  fever  in  infants  less  than  30  days  old  includes  a  complete  examination  of  cerebrospinal  fluid,  blood,  and  urine  for  a  serious  bacterial  infection,  prompt  empiric  antibiotic  administration,  and  hospitalization.Management  of  well-appearing  febrile  infants  aged  1–3  months  is  determined  by  analyzing  risk  factors  for  serious  bacterial  infection.Well-appearing,  low-risk,  febrile  infants  and  children  who  do  not  have  a  source  of  infection  must  have  reliable  follow-up  when  discharged  from  the  emergency  department.
