Research
Dr. Lewin's main interest is in the febrile infant. She developed the Algorithm for the Evaluation of the Well-Appearing Febrile Child: An age-based chart detailing the differences in the evaluation and management of the febrile neonate (<29 days old) compared with the young infant (29 to 89 days old) and the 3-month to 2-year-old pediatric patient; Revision over the years reflects the availability of new vaccines and changes in the epidemiology of pathogens.
