BACKGROUND
The objective of this study was to determine whether vomiting at presentation of a febrile illness in immunocompromised children with central venous catheters (CVCs) predicts bacteremia.
METHODS
A chart review was conducted of children who were admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of
Clostridium perfringens bacteremia is an uncommon yet serious clinical syndrome that typically arises from a gastrointestinal source. However, clinicians should consider nongastrointestinal sources as well. We present a rare case of C. perfringens bacteremia of urinary origin that required surgical
BACKGROUND
We report a case of bacteremia caused by Streptobacillus moniliformis.
METHODS
A 2 years and 3 months female Kuwaiti child presented with febrile convulsions, mild cough and vomiting. The patient's history, clinical findings and radiological investigations were reviewed. There was no
Nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) can cause bacterial enterocolitis. Although some children with NTS infection develop bacteremia, its clinical manifestations have not been discussed adequately. Therefore, we examined children with NTS bacteremia. We retrospectively examined the medical records of 15
We report a case of V. cholerae non-O1 / non-O139 bacteremia in an 81-year-old woman with abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, liquid stools, choluria and jaundice, while visiting a rural area without access to potable water. The identification was made by the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry technique and
Bordetella holmesii is a rare cause of bacteremia. It occurs mainly in hyposplenic patients, such as those affected by sickle cell anemia. The most frequent clinical signs are not very specific: fever, cephalalgia, cough, dyspnea, vomiting, etc. B. holmesii is frequently isolated from blood
Brevundimonas vesicularis has rarely been isolated from clinical specimens. We report here a case of B. vesicularis bacteremia in a female infant who presented with fever, vomiting and altered sensorium. USG abdomen showed mild hepatomegaly, moderate ascitis with bilateral mild basal pleural

OBJECTIVE
To construct a simple model to predict bacteremia in women with uncomplicated acute pyelonephritis (APN) for the judicious use of blood cultures.
METHODS
A prospective database including 735 women with uncomplicated APN at an academic urban emergency department was analyzed
