Introduction: diagnostic and therapeutic approach of children younger than 36 months with fever without a source has been controversial, particularly in those between 29 and 90 days of age who consult at the Pediatrics Emergency Unit Emergency Unit of the Pereira Rossell Hospital Center. Method: a transversal, descriptive, retrospective study was conducted, including children between 29 and 90 days who consulted for fever without a source at the Pediatrics Emergency Unit Emergency Unit of the Pereira Rossell Hospital Center between August 1, 2012 and September 30, 2013. Results: during the time of the study, there were 134 children between 29 and 90 days who consulted for fever without a source. Ninety nine of them (47%) meet the requirements. Diagnosis upon release were: fever without evidence of focus 82 (61%), acute viral respiratory infection 23 (17%), viral meningitis and/or encephalitis 11 (8%), urinary tract infection 8 (6%), gastroenteritis 4 (3%), aseptic meningoencephalitis 2 (1.5%), otitis media 2 (1.5%), acute suppurative meningoencephalitis 1 )0.75%), viral exanthema 1 (0.75). When patients presented severe infections the recommendations were followed in 20 out of 22 patients (90%). The main cause for non-fulfilment was failing to ask for exams according to recommendations in 20 (57%).
