摘　　要：Febrile infants are at greater risk of invasive bacterial infections (IBI),which include bacterial meningitis and bacteremia.Although bacterial meningitis is uncommon,^([1-2])it remains a concern for clinicians treating infants younger than 90 d.Guidelines for investigating fever without a source(meaning without an apparent source of infection,or of nonobvious origin) are numerous around the world but remain conflicting,particularly on whether to perform a lumbar puncture for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis in infants older than 22 d and hence at lower risk than younger infants.
