Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the outcomes of well-appearing febrile infants with bulging fontanelles, determining if a lumbar puncture was necessary or could be safely omitted.
- Data from 40 infants, aged 3-13 months, showed that only 32.5% underwent lumbar puncture, with a small number having elevated white blood cell counts or positive cultures, while most were discharged without further complications.
- Results support the idea that in well-appearing infants with no concerning medical history, management can often proceed without a lumbar puncture, although further research is needed to confirm these findings.
