    Consider the ff in working with

    MINORITIES

    Familiarize your self with the customs, values, laws and health of thecountry you will work in.

    Try the food, listen to the music and if possible talk with people ofthat culture before leaving home.

    Learn the language, you can't provide adequate care if you can notcommunicate with your patients.

    Learn about the organization under who you will work - purpose,goals, philosophy, policies

    Remember you will be under other's rules, laws, value system,customs.

    Can you cope with lack of structure, boredom, change and danger ? The right experience may enrich your life immeasurably.

    # 34 IMCI FEVER

    Fever is a very common condition and is often the

    main reason for bringing children to the health

    center

    Minor infections, life threatening disease

    Children are considered to have fever if their body

    temperature is above 37.5C axillary (38C rectal).

    REFER

    In a high malaria risk area or season, children

    with fever and no general danger sign or stiffneck should be classified as having MALARIA.

    All children with fever and any general danger

    sign or stiff neck are classified as having VERYSEVERE FEBRILE DISEASE and should be urgently

    referred to a hospital after pre-referral

    treatment with antibiotics (the same choice as

    for severe pneumonia or very severe disease).

    Fever (by history or feels hotor temperature 37.5C or

    above)malaria

    In a low malarial risk area or season, children

    with fever (or history of fever) and no generaldanger sign or stiff neck are classified as

    having MALARIA and given an antimalarial only

    if they have no runny nose (a sign of ARI), no

    measles, and no other obvious cause of fever(pneumonia, sore throat, etc.).

    .In a low malaria risk area or season,

    children with runny nose, measles or

    clinical signs of other possible infectionare classified as having FEVER

    MALARIA UNLIKELY. These children need

    follow-up. If their fever lasts more than

    five days, they should be referred for

    further assessment to determine causesof prolonged pyrexia. If possible, in

    low malaria risk settings, a simplemalaria laboratory test is highly

    advisable.

    Measles PRESENT or

    fever malaria

    unlikely

    In a no malaria risk area or season an attempt

    should be made to distinguish cases of possiblebacterial infection, which require antibiotic

    treatment, from cases of non-complicated viralinfection. Presence of a runny nose in such

    situations has no or very little diagnostic value.
