To describe the current epidemiology of bacteremia in febrile infants ≤ 60 days-old in the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN). We conducted a planned secondary analysis of a prospective observational study of febrile infants ≤ 60 days-old presenting to any of 26 PECARN emergency departments (EDs) (2008 –2013) who had blood cultures obtained. We excluded infants with significant comorbidities or critically-ill appearances. The primary outcome was prevalence of bacteremia. Of 7,335 screened infants, 4,778 (65.1%) had blood cultures and were enrolled. Of these, 84 had bacteremia (1.8%; 95% CI 1.4–2.2%). The prevalence of bacteremia in infants ≤ 28 days-old (47/1,515) was 3.1% (95% CI 2.3–4.1%) and in infants 29–60 days-old (37/3,246) was 1.1% (95% CI 0.8–1.6%). Prevalence differed by week of age for infants ≤ 28 days (0–7 days: 4/156, 2.6%), (8–14 days: 19/356, 5.3%), (15–21 days: 15/449, 3.3%), (22–28 days: 9/554, 1.6%). The most common pathogens were Escherichia coli (39.3%; 95% CI 29.5–50.0%) and group B streptococcus (23.8%; 95% CI 16.0–33.9%). Bacterial meningitis occurred in 19/1515 infants ≤ 28 days-old (1.3%; 95% CI 0.8–2.0%) and 5/3,246 infants 29–60 days-old (0.2%; 95% CI 0.1–0.4%). Of 84 infants with bacteremia, 36 (42.9%; 95% CI 32.8–53.5%) had urinary tract infections (Escherichia coli 83%); 11 (13.1%; 95%CI 7.5–21.9%) had bacterial meningitis. The prevalence of bacteremia and meningitis among febrile infants ≤ 28 days-old is high and exceeds that observed in infants 29–60 days old. Escherichia coli and group B streptococcus are the most common bacterial pathogens.
