Serious Bacterial Infections in Febrile Infants in the Post–Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Era
Academic Emergency Medicine, 06/17/09
Rudinsky SL et al. - The WBC count and height of fever were not found to be accurate predictors of SBI in infants age 3 to 24 months. UTI and pneumonias made up the vast majority of SBI in this population of infants. The overall bacteremia frequency was well below 1%. This calls into question the continued utility of obtaining routine complete cell counts and blood cultures in the febrile infant in the post-PCV7 era.
