A six-day-old male is brought to the emergency department by his mother due to a high fever that started last night. His mother stated that he was born via an uneventful vaginal delivery at home at 38 weeks’ gestation and was doing fine until yesterday when he became disinterested in breastfeeding and spat up several times. His temperature is 39.5°C (103.1°F), pulse is 155/min, respirations are 45/min, and O2 saturation 92% on room air. He is lethargic and minimally responsive to stimuli. While on his back, his head is quickly lifted towards his chest, which causes his legs to flex. The mother had only a few prenatal care visits and none at the end of the pregnancy.
