Platelet index on admission as a predictor of bacteremia in acute cholangitis: a 7-year retrospective observational study

Platelets, 2022
Bacteremia frequently occurs in patients with acute cholangitis, which could increase the risk of mortality. This single-center retrospective observational study was conducted from July 2013 to July 2020 to evaluate the predictive value of platelet index

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia in children: risk factors and mortality rate

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2021
Purpose Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S. maltophilia) is an opportunistic and nosocomial pathogen that can cause an invasive and fatal infection, particularly in hospitalized and immunocompromised patients. However, little is known about the impact of S.

Plasma procalcitonin levels remain low at the onset of gram-positive bacteremia regardless of severity or the presence of shock: A retrospective analysis of patients with detailed clinical characteristics

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2021
Objectives: Procalcitonin (PCT) is an early diagnosis marker of sepsis/bacteremia. However, some reports refer to its lower responsiveness to gram-positive bacteremia.

Urinary Predictors of Bacteremia in Febrile Infants with Urinary Tract Infection

Journal of Scientific Innovation in Medicine, 2022
Background: Predicting the risk of bacteremia in febrile infants with urinary tract infection (UTI) remains a diagnostic challenge. Prior studies have focused on the utility of blood biomarkers in predicting the risk of bacteremia in febrile infants, the

Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteremia in a cohort of hiv-infected patients hospitalized with severe sepsis in uganda–high frequency, low clinical suspicion [corrected] and derivation of a clinical prediction score. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
When manifested as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteremia, disseminated MTB infection clinically mimics other serious blood stream infections often hindering early diagnosis and initiation of potentially life-saving anti-tuberculosis therapy.
