Abstract

In a retrospective and prospective audit of 55 children presenting to the paediatric assessment unit of a district general hospital with fever and petechial rash, 9% had significant bacterial sepsis. The 'ILL criteria' (irritability, lethargy, low capillary refill) for the management of children with fever and petechiae are proposed.
