Cover Story: The management of febrile infants aged 90 days and younger can be challenging as this cohort are considered high risk for invasive bacterial infection (IBI). Recent evidence has shown that infants presenting with fever following meningococcal B (MenB) immunisation are at a lower risk of IBI. This secondary analysis aimed to report the prevalence of IBI in febrile infants aged 90 days and younger presenting to hospital within 72 hours of MenB immunisation. A total of 102 febrile infants were included. There were no cases of IBI and three cases of urinary tract infection. These findings show that the rate of IBI is negligible in febrile infants following MenB immunisation, suggesting that this cohort may not require the extensive investigations that febrile infants typically receive. View this paper
