As Per the study “RNA biosignatures were measured in 279 of the 1883 febrile infants. Sixty-six classifier genes were identified that distinguished infants with and without bacterial infections. Ten classifier genes distinguished infants with bacteremia from those without bacterial infections. In this preliminary study, RNA biosignatures were defined to distinguish febrile infants aged 60 days or younger with vs without bacterial infections. Further research with larger populations is needed to refine and validate the estimates of test accuracy and to assess the clinical utility of RNA biosignatures in practice.”
