Occult bacteremia should be of major concern in the child with fever without localizing signs. A number of clinical features and laboratory findings correlate with the risk of bacteremia in such children, and their recognition permits the identification of a group of children at high risk. Treatment of such children with antibiotics on an ambulatory basis appears to significantly lessen the incidence of persistent bacteremia, subsequent meningitis, and other serious localized bacterial infections.
隐匿性菌血症应引起无局部定位体征发热儿童的高度关注。一些临床特征和实验室检查结果与这类儿童发生菌血症的风险相关，识别这些特征有助于确定高危儿童群体。对这类儿童在门诊给予抗生素治疗似乎能显著降低持续性菌血症、随后发生的脑膜炎及其他严重局部细菌感染的发生率。
