A marked increase in the incidence of bacteremias caused by gram-positive microorganisms has been observed in our hospital over the last 10 years, especially in patients with hematological malignancies. The mortality due to bacteremia is similar to that found by other authors in series of bacteremia in hematological patients, and we have not found significant differences in the mortality due to bacteremia between neutropenic and non-neutropenic patients (Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 1994;15:101-104).
