Abstract

Background Fever is one of the most common causes of Children’, s referral to pediatric emergency department (ED), and almost 20% of General ED referrals relate to Febrile Children. When it comes to Febrile pediatrics patients, Co-Infection is a very important issue to discuss. This topic has been considered in current literature so, we considered to examine the Epidemiology of these Co-Infections in Febrile Children younger than 5 years in emergency department. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out retrospectively with the enrollment of Children younger than 5-years-old (accessible sampling) in the emergency department of Mofid Hospital, Tehran, Iran, during November 2017 to December 2018. After designing and completing a check list. Results: Totally, 388 patients with the mean age of 25. 4 ±,12. 4 months were studied (51. 5% Girl). The source of infection was unclear after using all of the diagnostic tools in 27. 5% of cases. Based on the findings fever-associated diarrhea (132 patients, 46. 9%), and cellulitis (1 patient, 0. 4%) were the most and least frequent source of infections, respectively. The co-incidence of different source of infections showed that the most frequent Co-Infections were sepsis and UTI,otitis and UTI,pneumonia and UTI,pneumonia and URI,and sepsis and otitis. Conclusion It seems that Co-Infections have been significantly increased in girls and in the age range of 6-36 months. The most and least prevalent infections were fever-associated diarrhea and cellulitis among the patients with at least one type of infection. The co-incidence of different source of infection showed that the most frequent Co-Infection were sepsis and UTI,otitis and UTI,pneumonia and UTI,pneumonia and URI,and sepsis and otitis.
