Abstract:Objective To study the relationship between the degree of fever within 48 hours of admission and the prognosis in children with bacterial bloodstream infection. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of all patients diagnosed with sepsis who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University between September 2008 and September 2016. The children with bacterial bloodstream infection were classified into 5 groups according to the maximum temperature within 48 hours of admission: Results A total of 213 children with bacterial bloodstream infection were enrolled, consisting of 5 cases in the P Conclusions In children with bacterial bloodstream infection, those with a maximum temperature below 36.5℃ or above 39.5℃ within 48 hours of admission have a significantly increased mortality.
