DOI: 10.1002/jhm.12956
Abstract: BACKGROUND Febrile infants are at risk for invasive bacterial infections (IBIs) (i.e., bacteremia and bacterial meningitis), which, when undiagnosed, may have devastating consequences. Current IBI predictive models rely on serum biomarkers, which may not provide… read more here.
