متن کاملBloodstream infections and perinatal mortality
Bloodstream infection is demonstrable at necropsy in 21-1 % of perinatal deaths but is almost invariably a secondary event, often terminal, contributing to death as a secondary cause.

Escherichia coli predominates, and postmortem and antemortem studies alike confirm the tendency of this and other microbes to involve the meninges ...
متن کاملBloodstream Infections in Patients With Solid Tumors
Little information is currently available regarding bloodstream infection (BSI) in patients with solid tumors who, for a variety of reasons, are particularly predisposed to develop this condition. In this review we focus on the incidence, epidemiology, clinical features, etiology, antimicrobial resistance, and outcomes of BSI of adult cancer patients with solid tumors. Most episodes of BSI occu...
