Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The "Lab-score" combining C-reactive protein, procalcitonin and urine dipstick results has recently been derived and validated as an accurate tool for predicting severe bacterial infections (SBI) in children with fever without source (FWS). We aimed to assess the "Lab-score" usefulness in predicting SBI, and especially invasive bacterial infections (IBI) in well-appearing infants
