A fever is commonly defined by healthcare providers as a rectal temperature of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher. The body regulates its temperature through a complex interplay of various organs, including the brain, skin, muscles, and blood vessels. In the presence of a fever, the body employs the same mechanisms to regulate temperature; however, its internal thermostat is temporarily reset to a higher level.
This module aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of temperature measurement and definitions, the pathogenesis of fever, prescribing practices specific to Malaysia, and evidence-based approaches to managing pediatric fever.
This course is presented by Dr. Sanjay Woodhull, Consultant Paediatrician, Subang Jaya Medical Center.
