Over two years 29 children had bacteraemia due to Streptococcus pneumoniae at this hospital. In 15 previously healthy children the site of infection could not be identified, and in most of them, bacteraemia was not suspected clinically. All 15 had high total white cell (greater than or equal to 17 x
OBJECTIVE
Fever of 39°C or higher and a white blood cell (WBC) count of 15,000/μL or greater are known predictors of occult bacteremia (OB). However, because of a decreasing prevalence of OB, WBC counts have become poor predictors of OB in populations of routinely immunized children. Thus, we aim to

Febrile children 3-36 months old, who had a body temperature >39°C and white blood cell (WBC) count >15 000/mm

The controversy surrounding the diagnostic workup for simple febrile seizures has centered around the lumbar puncture. This focus has obscured the potential importance of other tests. A retrospective study was performed to determine the frequency of occult bacteremia in simple febrile seizures. In a
Febrile seizures are common among children and these are known to result from the diverse aetiological factors, known to cause fever in children.To determine the prevalence of bacteraemia amongst children with febrile seizures at the children's emergency OBJECTIVE
To determine the incidence of bacteremia, urinary tract infections, and unsuspected bacterial meningitis in a cohort of children diagnosed with febrile seizures.
METHODS
We assembled a retrospective, consecutive case series of patients who presented to an urban tertiary care pediatric
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the risk of bacteremia in children with febrile seizures treated as outpatients.
METHODS
A retrospective cohort study was performed involving 379 children aged 2 to 24 months presenting to an urban tertiary care children's hospital emergency department with a febrile seizure
A 66-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) was brought to the emergency room with seizures and high-grade fever. Seizure in adult NF1 patients raises concern for intracranial lesions. However, neurological examination and central nervous system imaging failed to detect any causative
OBJECTIVE
To assess the proportion and clinical significance of bacteraemia caused by viridans streptococci (VS) in immunocompetent adults and children.
METHODS
Over a 25-month period, we collected data on all patients with VS bacteraemia at a UK district general hospital.
RESULTS
VS caused 50/723
BACKGROUND
We report a case of bacteremia caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis.
METHODS
A 2 years and 3 months female Kuwaiti child presented with febrile convulsions, mild cough and vomiting. The patient's history, clinical findings and radiological investigations were reviewed. There was no
