%X Se informa una investigaci車n de los medios de diagn車stico en la evaluaci車n del ni o febril. Se estudiaron 192 ni os febriles de bajos riesgos de infecci車n bacteriana severa (IBS) seg迆n categor赤as de riesgos. Existi車 un predominio significativo en los ni os febriles mayores de 12 meses de edad con evoluci車n favorable y sin infecci車n bacteriana severa. La evoluci車n no favorable y la infecci車n bacteriana severa resultaron m芍s frecuentes en los ni os de 90 d赤as o menos. Se propuso la recuperaci車n del ni o en su hogar y se destaca que aument車 el prestigio del m谷dico de la familia, la interrelaci車n con los 2 niveles de atenci車n m谷dica y esto produjo un ahorro en costos hospitalarios y en d赤as hospitales. Se resalta que los 192 ni os febriles evaluados seg迆n categor赤as de riesgos se recuperaron, no presentaron complicaciones y no fallecieron. A research of the diagnostic tools is reported in the evaluation of the febrile child. 192 febrile children at low risk for severe bacterial infection (SBI) were studied according to risk categories. A significant predominance was observed in febrile children over 12 months old with favorable evolution and with no severe bacterial infection. The non-favorable evolution and the severe bacterial infection were more frequent in children aged 90 days old or less. The child's recovery at home was suggested. The family physician's prestige increased as well as the interrealtion with the health care levels, which brought about a saving in hospital costs and hospital days. It is stressed that the 192 febrile children evaluated according to risk categories recovered. There were neither complications nor deaths.
