High Frequencies of Drug-resistant Pathogens in Blood Stream Infections Associated with Hematologic Disorders: Five-year single institutional surveillance from 2010 to 2014
Abstract:In order to improve the management of infectious complications associated with hematologic disorders, we conducted a retrospective 5-year analysis of Blood Culture (BC) tests obtained from febrile patients with hematological disorders treated in our institute between 2010 and 2014.

In 8,549 BC tests obtained from 1,517 febrile … Show more
