BACKGROUND: Research has shown low mortality in young infants with a single low-mortality-risk possible serious bacterial infection (PSBI) sign. Outpatient treatment of young infants (age <2 months) with a single low-mortality-risk PSBI sign might be as effective and safe as hospitalisation. Outpati...
