It is generally accepted that fungemia is an important and often life-threatening event. Unfortunately, it often remains undetected due to the lack of physician and/or laboratory awareness of the usefulness of fungal blood cultures. Many laboratories do not offer the possibility of performing fungal blood cultures and, if offered, some use methods that

Effects of Blood on Blood Culture Medium
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1979The morphological and biochemical changes that occur after inoculation of sterile blood into a blood culture medium (tryptic soy broth) with sodium polyanetholesulfonate and CO 2 were investigated. Cellular changes, pH, PCO 2 , and PO 2 were monitored and evaluated ...

Predictive Value of Blood Cultures
Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, 1992The rising incidence of immunocompromised-patient infections caused by bacteria that are normally nonvirulent and indigenous to normal flora has focused attention on the contamination rate of blood cultures. This contamination is usually a consequence of the mode of collection or processing within the laboratory.The contamination rates of blood ...

Blood cultures are an essential diagnostic tool. However, contamination may impact on patients' care and lead to increased patient stay, additional tests, and inappropriate antibiotic use. The aim of this study was to review the literature for factors that influence the rate of blood culture contamination.

In the welter of data presented by McCarthy et al. (Pediatrics 57:861, June 1976), I was most dismayed by the cost of proper identification of organisms.
