Bloodstream Infections and Central Line–Associated Bloodstream Infections

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2014
It is estimated that more than 575,000 individuals develop bloodstream infections (BSI) annually in North America, accounting for nearly 80,000 deaths. Central line-associated BSI (CLABSI) is a major contributor to the cost of health care. Although primary BSI may be seen by the surgeon, a secondary BSI is more likely to be encountered, especially ...

Clostridial Bloodstream Infections

Southern Medical Journal, 1989
In a ten-year review at a large community teaching hospital clostridia accounted for less than 1% of all positive bloodstream isolates (26 episodes in 25 patients). All but one of the isolates were clinically significant. Twenty-two patients (88%) had a serious underlying medical condition, and 17 of the episodes (65%) were associated with a bowel ...

Bloodstream Infection in the ICU

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2009
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) occur in 5%-10% of patients admitted to hospitals in the United States, and HAIs remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Patients admitted to ICUs account for 45% of all hospital-acquired pneumonias and bloodstream infections (BSIs), although critical care units comprise only 5% to 10% of all hospital beds.

Bloodstream infections in the elderly

The American Journal of Medicine, 1989
Bacteremia in the elderly is associated with a different clinical course and a higher mortality rate when compared with that in younger age groups. In order to examine these issues in the aged, we reviewed the clinical course and factors involved in the outcome of 100 episodes of bloodstream infections in patients over 65 years of age.The hospital ...

Gram-negative bloodstream infections

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2008
Over the last 22 years we have prospectively recorded data for bloodstream infections (BSIs) in our institution. We reflect the experience of a tertiary teaching hospital with 1750-2500 beds that served a population ranging during the study period from 650,000 to 750,000 inhabitants. Definitions and microbiological methods were standard.
