Abstract
Our goal was to identify predictors of invasive bacterial infection (ie, bacteremia and bacterial meningitis) in febrile infants aged 2-6 months. In our multicenter retrospective cohort, older age and lower temperature identified infants at low risk for invasive bacterial infection who could safely avoid routine testing.
