Abstract

Bacteremia is a relatively common disease in young, apparently mildly ill febrile children. It resolves spontaneously in some, but many remain ill. Therefore, physicians should use cultures of blood of young children who are well enough to be treated as outpatients. The authors suggest that patients at increased risk of developing bacteremia receive presumptive treatment with antimicrobial agents.
