Article Synopsis
- Bacterial bloodstream infections (BSI) caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) are prevalent in patients with hematological malignancies and stem cell transplant recipients.
- A study of 65 BSI episodes over 10 years identified acute leukemias as the most common underlying condition and highlighted mucosal barrier injury in the gastrointestinal tract as the primary cause of infection.
- The research found that timely and appropriate antibiotic treatment significantly improved survival rates, while factors like hypotension at presentation and concurrent invasive fungal diseases were linked to higher 30-day mortality.
