[Clinical analysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia].

Unlabelled: To determine the outcome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia and to identify risk factors for these infections in our University hospital, 46 cases (65 episodes) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia were retrospectively investigated. The most frequent underlying diseases or cases were from Emergency and Critical care center (18 cases, including 11 case of cerebrovascular accident and head injury) followed by hematologic malignancies (11 cases) but none of the HIV infection was included in this study. The overall crude mortality rate was 50% and mortality rate within the first 1 week was 17%.
