BACKGROUND: Blood stream infection (BSI) represent a life-threatening condition. Thus, we aimed to investigate the role of procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests in adult febrile patients with BSI and other clinical infections in hosp...
OBJECTIVE: Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a significant cause of mortality in patients with hematologic malignancies(HMs), particularly amid rising antibiotic resistance. This study aimed to analyze pathogen distribution, drug-resistance patterns and...
Leukemia patients who receive chemotherapy experience a decline in neutrophils and an increased risk of infections. Neutropenic sepsis is a life-threatening condition and a major cause of cancer-related mortality. Patients with neutropenic sepsis are...

BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) remains a significant contributor to both community-acquired and healthcare-associated bloodstream infections. SAB exhibits a high recurrence rate and mortality rate, leading to numerous clinical tre...
BACKGROUND: Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a systemic infection that predisposes individuals to sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Early identification of infectious agents and determination of drug-resistant phenotypes can help patients...

BACKGROUND: Bacteremia is a critical condition with high mortality that requires prompt detection to prevent progression to life-threatening sepsis. Traditional diagnostic approaches, such as blood cultures, are time-consuming. This limitation has en...
BACKGROUND: Patients with Gram-negative bloodstream infections are at risk of serious adverse outcomes without active treatment, but identifying who has antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to target empirical treatment is challenging.
Except for a few countries, comprehensive all-cause surveillance for bacteremia is not part of mandatory routine public health surveillance. We argue that time has come to include automated surveillance for bacteremia in the national surveillance sys...

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop machine learning (ML) prediction models for identifying bloodstream infection (BSI) and septic shock (SS) in pediatric patients with cancer who presenting febrile neutropenia (FN) at emergency department (ED) v...
