Prevalence of Bacteremia And Meningitis In Febrile Infants ≤ 60 Days With Positive Urinalyses In A Multicenter Network
2021
Background: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common serious bacterial infection in young febrile infants, and the urinalysis (UA) is an accurate screening test for emergency department (ED) evaluation. Precise estimates of risk of concomitant bacteremia and/or bacterial meningitis (invasive bacterial infections; IBI) in febrile infants ≤ 60 days have been based on presence of UTIs rather than positive UAs, and lack large prospective study.
