متن کاملRisk Factors for Serious Bacterial Infection in Febrile Young Infants in a Community Referral Hospital
Differentiation of serious bacterial infection (SBI) from self-limiting viral illness in febrile infants younger than three months is a significant challenge for clinicians. We aimed to assess the risk factors for SBI in febrile infants. Data were obtained from 221 infants younger than three months who visited a single community referral hospital for fever and underwent a complete sepsis workup...
متن کاملCirculating chemokine levels in febrile infants with serious bacterial infections.
Early diagnosis of serious bacterial infections (SBI) in febrile young infants based on clinical symptoms and signs is difficult. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic values of circulating chemokines and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in febrile young infants < 3 months of age with suspected SBI. We enrolled 43 febrile young infants < 3 months of age with clinically suspected SBI who we...
متن کاملUse of Procalcitonin Assays to Predict Serious Bacterial Infection in Young Febrile Infants.
IMPORTANCE The procalcitonin (PCT) assay is an accurate screening test for identifying invasive bacterial infection (IBI); however, data on the PCT assay in very young infants are insufficient. OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic characteristics of the PCT assay for detecting serious bacterial infection (SBI) and IBI in febrile infants aged 7 to 91 days. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A p...
