Children discharged from an emergency department with bacteremia had lower C‐reactive protein and better outcomes than admissions

Acta Pediatrica Nov 05, 2020

Gelernter R, Lazarovitch T, Kozer E, et al. - Researchers aimed at investigating whether bacteremic children that were discharged from the emergency department (ED) exhibited common clinical findings. In addition, they followed them up for their clinical outcome. They conducted a retrospective chart review of children above 1 month old with positive blood cultures derived in Shamir Medical Center's ED from January 2011 to December 2019. Of 250 analysed cases, 68 were discharged after first evaluation. The most commonly isolated pathogen was Streptococcus pneumonia. Findings revealed lower C‐reactive protein and better outcome in children with bacteraemia who were discharged home before knowing their positive blood cultures results relative to those admitted on first evaluation in the emergency department.
