RNA Biosignatures: A Paradigm Change for the Management of Young Febrile Infants (Biosignatures II )

Health Condition: Infectious Disease
Health Impact Domain: Safety of care, Effectiveness of care, Timeliness of care, Decreased incidence/length of hospitalization, Creation of decision tool, Drug stewardship

Summary

This study of 2100-2800 infants will refine, validate, and test the clinical utility of RNA biosignatures in practice. Clinicians struggle to differentiate between viral versus bacterial causes for fevers in infants, leading to ineffective or over treatment. RNA bio signatures from a blood sample can distinguish bacterial infections vs. nonbacterial infections.
