Facteurs prédictifs de la présence d'une infection bactérienne sévère chez les nourrissons fébriles âgés de moins de trois mois : analyse multivariée

Conclusions. - At present, no factor(s) is(are) able to predict with 100% accuracy the absence of SBI in febrile infants less than three months old. The risk of severe sequelae or death caused by untreated SBI would seem to justify the prescription of antibiotics until microbacterial culture results become available.
