Comparative StudyRisks for bacteremia and urinary tract infections in young febrile children with bronchiolitis.
To compare the risks for bacteremia and urinary tract injections (UTI) in young febrile children with and without bronchiolitis. ⋯ Previously healthy febrile children aged 24 months or younger with bronchiolitis are unlikely to have bacteremia or UTI. Therefore, routine cultures of the blood and urine in these patients are unnecessary. More data are needed regarding the subset of febrile infants aged 2 months or younger with bronchiolitis.
