Fever is a broad differential and is a top reason for pediatric visits in acute care settings. With infectious diseases emerging, global travel resuming, and malignancy and rheumatological disorders often presenting in childhood, the clinician must be knowledgeable about fever etiologies across childhood. In 2021, the AAP updated their clinical practice guideline on the febrile infant. This presentation will discuss the history of fever, review causes of fever based on age and body system, and review the latest evidence on the diagnosis of fever.
