| Abstract: |
The authors discuss a study by P. L. Aronson and colleagues, published within the issue about a prediction model for identifying febrile infants at low risk of invasive bacterial infection. Topics covered include factors associated with low risk of invasive bacterial infections (IBI), strengths and limitations of the study, and expectation on the use of gene expression analysis in the evaluation of young febrile infants. |
