Abstract:
We present a large, multicenter, cohort study that aimed to assess bacterial infection rates among febrile infants up to 90 days old presenting to the pediatric emergency department with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during 2021-2022 throughout successive variant waves. Overall, 417 febrile infants were included. Twenty-six infants (6.2%) had bacterial infections. All bacterial infections consisted of urinary tract infections, and there were no invasive bacterial infections. There was no mortality.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
