ABSTRACT
We evaluated the incidence and implications of coexistent bacterial urinary tract infection and aseptic meningitis in 1629 young febrile infants (age 1 to 60 days) who underwent sepsis work-up. Urinary tract infection was diagnosed in 13.2% and aseptic meningitis in 8.8%. Eleven patients (0.7%) had both infections. In view of possible coinfection initial laboratory results may be insufficient for decision-making regarding treatment in young febrile infants.
