Popis: ObjectiveWe aimed to evaluate the association of height of fever with invasive bacterial infection (IBI) among febrile infants MethodsIn a secondary analysis of a multicentre case–control study of non-ill-appearing febrile infants ResultsThe median temperature was higher for infants with IBI (38.8°C; IQR 38.4–39.2) compared with those without IBI (38.4°C; IQR 38.2–38.9) (pConclusionsAlthough IBI is more likely with higher temperatures, height of fever alone should not be used for risk stratification of febrile infants.
