Hospitalized Children, Invasive Bacterial Infection, Severe Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
Severe bacterial infections are a worldwide scourge. However, the epidemiology of this type of infection varies over time. It is therefore essential to monitor them in order to prevent them more effectively. At this time, in France, no monitoring exists for this kind of infections.
Detailed description
The main aim of this study is to assess the number of cases and describe the clinical, biological and microbiological characteristics of these cases of severe communautary invasive bacterial infections in children hospitalized in pediatric intensive care units. In addition, the management of these hospitalized children will be described.
