Risk scoring and bloodstream infections
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2007Risk-scoring systems are utilised in patients with bloodstream infections (BSI) to quantify disease-associated morbidity and mortality based on simple clinical or laboratory data usually obtained early in the course of illness. In order to reduce BSI-associated mortality, specific scores were elaborated to allow early diagnosis and prompt and ...

Catheter‐related Bloodstream Infections
World Journal of Surgery, 1999Abstract.Catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CBIs) rank among the most frequent and potentially lethal nosocomial infections.

Catheter-related Bloodstream Infection
2012The development of catheter-related septicemia is the most serious complication of venous access. Risk factors may be related to the patients, to the catheter or to the location in which the procedure is performed. The most common organism isolated from catheter tip cultures are skin flora such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus and ...

Candida bloodstream infection in neonates
Seminars in Perinatology, 2003Neonatal candidemia is poorly understood and is a leading cause of nosocomial infectious mortality in the nursery. Prevention of candidemia has been difficult, although a combined approach of antifungal prophylaxis and targeted empirical therapy may eventually reduce morbidity and mortality.

Gram-negative bloodstream infections
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2009Gram-negative bloodstream infection (BSI) is both dangerous and challenging. The incidence of Gram-negative BSI rises with age in both men and women, but there are still some gender differences in terms of aetiology and acquisition. Clinical elements such as organ dysfunction are helpful in determining prognosis.

Definitions of bloodstream infection in the newborn
Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2005To develop definitions of bloodstream infections in the newborn that would enable clinicians to identify infection early, so patients can be enrolled in clinical trials. The definitions should be useful for surveillance and epidemiologic purposes.Search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library using age and English language limited key words sepsis ...

Bloodstream infections: the problem and the challenge
International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2009Bloodstream infections (BSI) are an indisputable cause of morbidity and mortality. These infections may originate in the community setting among healthy individuals or among patients actively receiving healthcare as on dialysis, chemotherapy, etc. The largest numbers of BSI, however, are nosocomial.

Prevention of Bloodstream Infections
2009Bloodstream infections occur from various sources. Certain microorganisms thrive in different parts of the body or colonize exogenous prosthetic pieces of equipment. Hence the source of a bloodstream infection can almost be predicted according to the microorganism detected.
