Management and Outcomes of Previously Healthy, Full-Term, Febrile Infants Ages 7 to 90 Days

Abstract

Fever in a medical setting occurred in 1.4% of infants in this large cohort. Forty-one percent of febrile infants did not have any cultures including 24% less than 28 days. One percent returned in the following month with a urinary tract infection. There was no delayed identification of bacteremia or meningitis.
