AB  - Fever  constitutes  approximately  20%  of  visits  to  emergency  departments  nationwide.  It  is  also  the  most  common  pediatric  emergency  concern.  Fever  is  defined  as  body  temperature  greater  than  38°C  (100.4°F).  Fever  is  induced  by  exogenous  pyrogens  from  invading  organisms  and  by  endogenous  pyrogens  that  are  released  by  immune  mediating  cells  to  fight  infectious  pathogens.  The  pyrogens  cause  the  body’s  central  “thermostat”  in  the  hypothalamus  to  reset.
