Paediatric fever is a common problem that paediatricians and general practitioners encounter. If not managed properly the complaint can be fatal and immediate treatment is essential if lasting harm to the patient is to be avoided. Interest in fever is now growing due to greater understanding of thermo-regulation and the link between fever and sudden-infant-death syndrome ("cot death"). This book aims to deal with these issues and provide clear practical guidance for the clinician. Starting with definitions of temperature-related terms there then follows a detailed chapter on pathogenesis. Further chapters describe the measurement of temperature in children and go on to deal with hypothermia in neonates and children. There is coverage of fever in infectious disease and febrile convulsions. All these issues are brought together in the final section which sets out clear guidelines for management.

Paediatric Symptom Sorter is an original work inspired by the best-selling and highly respected Symptom Sorter by Keith Hopcroft and Vincent Forte, now in its Fourth Edition. Like Symptom Sorter, this book's composition reflects the reality that patients present with symptoms rather than diagnoses. Structured anatomically, it provides an overview of the symptom followed by the five most likely underlying causes (differential diagnoses) in an easy-to-use tabular format. Investigative techniques and guidelines follow, ranging from the simple and inexpensive to the more complex, as do tips and warnings to note. This book is vital for all clinicians in the front line when an ill child presents with an acute illness. Experienced paediatricians, postgraduate doctors, primary care physicians and paediatric nurses will find it a useful refresher and it is an invaluable primer for newly-trained doctors and students, or those new to the paediatric wards. I envision that Paediatric Symptom Sorter will become a fixture in paediatric emergency rooms and hospital on-call rooms. I advise that the book be affixed to the furniture in a secure manner. Otherwise, it will soon disappear. From the foreword by James Carroll
