ABSTRACT

A molecular biology technique was used in one infant with fever without infection site evidence and negative cultures, in which broad -spectrum antibiotics were administered without a visible improvement. The test showed Streptococcus pneumoniae and the patient reacted well to the treatment with ceftriaxone.
