Description
Ibrahim Ahmed Saleh Murshed and co-authors review bloodstream infections in children treated for blood diseases and cancer at one center in Wuhan in 2024. Such infections are a grave risk during chemotherapy or stem cell transplant. They lengthen hospital stays and raise the chance of death.
The team looked back at just over two hundred infections in a group of children, most of whom had blood cancers. They recorded patient details, which germs caused each infection, and which drugs still worked against them. Gram-positive germs were the most common, followed by gram-negative germs, with fungi rare. Most infections struck during treatment. The findings help local doctors pick first drugs wisely while lab results are pending.
