Article Synopsis
- A study examined cases of invasive Group A Streptococcus bloodstream infections (GAS-BSI) in children in Madrid from 2005 to 2017, finding 109 cases with an incidence of 4.3 episodes per 100,000 children per year.
- The study indicated a non-significant upward trend in incidence over time, with the majority of cases occurring in children under four years old, primarily presenting as primary bloodstream infections.
- Factors like respiratory distress were linked to increased severity, with 22% of affected children requiring admission to the pediatric intensive care unit; however, only 1.8% of cases resulted in death.
Background: The main objective was to determine the clinical or analytical factors that independently predict risk of serious bacterial infection (RSBI) in immunocompetent patients older than 90 days given a diagnosis of fever and for whom neutropenia was an incidental finding. The secondary objective was to describe the prevalence of serious bacterial infections (SBIs).
Methods: This is a 3-year-long, multicenter, prospective analytical and observational study carried out at 6 pediatric emergency departments.
