Predictive factors of low risk for bacteremia in infants with urinary tract infection.
We studied 140 febrile infants between 30 and 90 days of age who had a positive urine culture to analyze the risk for complications. Patients with a healthy appearance and C-reactive protein blood value less than 40 mg/L had a very small probability of complications.
