Afebrile young infants with UTI should not be classified a priori as low risk for bacteremia. Well-appearing young infants with UTI and procalcitonin value <0.7 ng/mL were at very low risk for bacteremia; outpatient management with an appropriate follow-up could be considered.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
