Dr Razin Nazarullah, Dr. Sajith J S

Abstract :

A convenient definition of fever without source is the occurrence of fever for 1 week or less in a child where history and physical examination fail to reveal a probable cause of the fever. 70% of infection agent are of viral etiology, however the rest suggest the possibility of severe bacterial disease. CRP is the fastest reacting and most effective indication of an acute inflammatory reaction. 215 children between the age group 1 month to 12 yrs with acute feile illness, admitted in our institute between 2017– 2018 were taken. The study was mainly aimed to determine the diagnostic value of quantitative C–reactive protein in children with acute feile illness. Comparison of C–reactive protein with other clinical and laboratory predictors of infection.
