Abstract

Authors studied the importance of occult bacteremia among children, under 24 months of age, presenting fever without localizing signs. 113 patients were studied, six had positive blood cultures (5.4%). Agents identified were: N. meningitidis twice, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus viridians and group B Streptococcus. Some clinical and laboratory data (body temperature, WBC count, neutrophil count and band count), were studied as predictors of bacteremia. None of these were statistically related to presence of bacteremia.
