Risk of Serious Bacterial Infection in Young Febrile Infants With Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections

Abstract

Febrile infants who are < or =60 days of age and have RSV infections are at significantly lower risk of SBI than febrile infants without RSV infection. Nevertheless, the rate of SBIs, particularly as a result of UTI, remains appreciable in febrile RSV-positive infants.
