Bloodstream 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...

However, these intravascular devices are becoming a ready conduit for bacterial and fung...
متن کاملPrevention of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections in Patients on Hemodialysis
Fourteen percent of deaths among patients with endstage kidney disease (ESKD) are due to infections, preceded only by cardiovascular diseases (USRDS,2006). According to The United States Renal Data System (USRDS), the number of patients receiving hemodialysis in the United States of America (USA) was 328,000 in 2006(USRDS,2008). Secondary to multiple defects in the ability to kill bacteria, inf...

متن کاملEpidemiology, surveillance, and prevention of bloodstream infections in hemodialysis patients.
Infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are particularly problematic, accounting for a substantial number of hospitalizations in these patients. Hospitalizations for BSI and other vascular access infections appear to have increased dramatically in hemodialysis patients since 1993. These infections frequently are rel...
