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.

Influence of antimicrobial regimen on decreased in-hospital mortality of patients with MRSA bacteremia [PDF]

, 2014
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important causes of bacteremia. Recently, several epidemiological and microbiological changes have become evident in MRSA infections. The purposes of this study were to assess clinical

Etiology of Bacteremia [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1967
Blood-culture results for a 15-year period from a large southern hospital were tabulated and analyzed for alterations in the bacterial species associated with bacteremia. From 15,543 cultures, 2,410 positive cultures (15.6%) were obtained. These results were grouped into 5-year periods, and an alteration in the incidence of the agents was demonstrated.
