Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1993
Bacteremia and fungemia are encountered commonly and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Laboratory detection is therefore of paramount importance. Principles of successful blood culturing, clinically important technical issues, manual and automated detection systems, and interpretation of culture results are reviewed in this ...

Southern Medical Journal, 1982
Blood cultures in a 700-bed hospital were examined for clinical relevance. During a six-month period 5,154 blood samples were drawn from 1,091 patients. Of the 124 patients with positive blood cultures, 7% had polymicrobic isolates. A review of hospital records for a three-year period revealed 162 charts with adequate documentation for evaluation of ...

European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1989
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
