Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) metastatic complications are uncommon in children. Systematic screening entails additional diagnostic tests with higher costs. Our retrospective single-center study included 114 episodes of SAB and supports limiting systematic screening to patients with persistent bacteremia or congenital heart disease and considering it on a case-by-case basis in patients with methicillin-resistant SAB or an intravascular catheter.
