Group / Cohort |

Fever Without Source
Clinical diagnosis of FWS (fever of less than 7 days with no cause determined by the history and the physical exam).
|
Healthy control
Children visiting the hospital due to a non-infectious, non inflammatory etiology

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Diagnostic accuracy compared to expert panel for bacterial versus viral.
Time Frame: 0-7 days after initiation of symptoms
|
Sensitivity, specificity, NPV and PPV were measured for ImmunoXpert and Labscore. The proteomic signature is a combination of different markers including: tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) (pg/mL), interferon γ-induced protein-10 (IP-10) (pg/mL) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (mg/L). The proteomic signature is expressed as a score (no units. ranges 0-100). The Labscore is a combination of procalcitonin (ng/mL), C-reactive protein (CRP) (mg/L) and urinary dipstix (positive if presence of leucocyturia or nitrites). The Lab-score is expressed as a score (no units. ranges 0-9) |
0-7 days after initiation of symptoms

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Diagnostic accuracy compared to microbiology gold standard for ruling out invasive bacterial infection.
Time Frame: 0-7 days after initiation of symptoms
|
Case by case comparison between microbiology gold standard and ImmunoXpert and Labscore. The proteomic signature is a combination of different markers including: tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) (pg/mL), interferon γ-induced protein-10 (IP-10) (pg/mL) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (mg/L). The proteomic signature is expressed as a score (no units, ranges 0-100). The Labscore is a combination of procalcitonin (ng/mL), C-reactive protein (CRP) (mg/L) and urinary dipstix (positive if presence of leucocyturia or nitrites). The Lab-score is expressed as a score (no units, ranges 0-9). |
0-7 days after initiation of symptoms
|
Comparison of biomarker levels in patients with different etiologies as classified by the expert panel or healthy.
Time Frame: 0-7 days after initiation of symptoms in cases with infection.
|
An expert panel classified a patient as experiencing a bacterial versus viral infection. In addition healthy patients were requited. The following biomarkers were examined across the healthy versus bacterial versus viral patients:
|
0-7 days after initiation of symptoms in cases with infection.
|
Prevalence of viruses in children with fever without source.
Time Frame: 0-7 days after the initiation of symptoms
|
Prevalence of Human Enteroviruses, Human Parechoviruses, Adenovirus and Human Herpesvirus type 6 viremia and viremia from other microorganism identified by Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) (no units) or other techniques, as well as K. kingae bacteremia in children under three years old presenting with fever without source.
