FEVR NICE UNDER 3 MO

• If <3 months with a fever then investigate with bloods (FBC, CRP, B/C), urine and CXR/stool culture if indicated.
• Perform a lumbar puncture if: less than 1 month; 1-3 months and unwell; or 1-3 months with WCC<5×109/L or >15×10/L.
• Give IV antibiotics for the same criteria as the LP (i.e. if you’ve done a lumbar puncture for the above reasons, then they should be getting IV antibiotics).
