Prevalence of Urinary Tract Infection, Bacteremia, and Meningitis Among Febrile Infants Aged 8 to 60 Days With SARS-CoV-2
Abstract
Key Points Question What is the prevalence of urinary tract infection, bacteremia, and bacterial meningitis in febrile infants with SARS-CoV-2 aged 8 to 60 days? Findings In this cross-sectional study of 14 402 febrile infants aged 8 to 60 days, the prevalence of urinary tract infection, bacteremia, and bacterial meningitis was low for infants who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, particularly infants aged 29 days or older and those with normal inflammatory markers. Meaning This study’s results suggest that the low prevalence of concomitant bacterial infections can potentially inform the evaluation and management of certain febrile infants with SARS-CoV-2.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a cross-sectional, done in people. Its evidence level is 4 of 5 (Low · observational). Observational designs can show an association but not prove cause. Reported size: 14 participants or records.
