Infants less than eight weeks of age in a busy urban emergency department were prospectively reviewed during a six-month period, from October 1, 1981 to March 31, 1982. An axillary temperature of 37.8 degrees C or higher was arbitrarily defined as significantly elevated. A total of 1,655 young infants were seen during this time period, with 122 having temperatures of 37.8 degrees C or higher (7%). Four percent of the febrile patients were bacteremic. The degree of temperature elevation was not proportional to the severity of the illness. Total white blood cell count was less than 4,000/mm3 in two of the bacteremic patients. Cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis was present in 13% of the patients undergoing lumbar puncture.
1981年10月1日至1982年3月31日的六个月期间，对一家繁忙的城市急诊科中年龄小于8周的婴儿进行了前瞻性评估。腋温37.8摄氏度或更高被随意定义为显著升高。在此期间共诊治了1655名小婴儿，其中122名（7%）体温达到37.8摄氏度或更高。4%的发热患者血培养阳性。体温升高程度与疾病严重程度不成比例。两名血培养阳性患者的白细胞总数低于4000/mm³。接受腰椎穿刺的患者中13%出现脑脊液细胞数增多。
