Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Lab-score group
Patients assessed through the Lab-score determination only: Lab-score ≥3 used as the sole marker for the detection of serious bacterial infection. (WBC and band counts blinded to the physician in charge of the patient) |
|
Active Comparator: Control group
Patients assessed through the following classically admitted biomarkers for the detection of serious bacterial infection: WBC count, band count and CRP determination. (PCT and thus Lab-score blinded to the physician in charge of the patient). |
