We attempted to identify demographic and environmental factors associated with development of febrile, presumed viral illness in infantsor = 10 weeks old.The study was conducted in a large, urban pediatric hospital and outpatient clinics. Infantsor = 10 weeks old admitted to the hospital for a febrile illness but discharged with a presumed viral illness as the cause of the fever (n = 106) were compared with afebrile infants who came for clinic appointments (n = 87). Thirty-three infants found to have a bacterial source of illness were dropped from analysis.Recent exposure to an acute respiratory illness in the home (p0.0001), a previous visit to the doctor that was unrelated to the hospitalization (p0.002), having a sibling in school or day care (p0.007), and exposure to two or more smokers in the home (p0.011) were associated with development of a presumed viral illness with fever.Families with young infants should be counseled to keep their babies away from cigarette smoke or individuals with colds or presumed viral illnesses. |
