Bloodstream Infections: Comparison of Diagnostic Methods and Therapeutic Consequences between a Hospital in a Resource-Limited Setting and Two French Hospitals.

In recent years, the diagnosis of bloodstream infections has been complemented by rapid microbiological methods, unattainable to most clinical laboratories in resource-limited settings. We evaluated the impact of their shortage on antibiotic therapy adequacy. We conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study including 150 adult Gram-negative bacilli bacteremia episodes, evenly distributed across three university hospitals: one in Lebanon, a resource-limited setting, and two in France, a resource-rich setting.

First reported case of para-aortic abscess.

species are ubiquitous dematiaceous fungi, widely found in the indoor and outdoor environments. They are considered a frequent source of contamination in laboratory settings. In human pathology, is a main agent of phaeohyphomycosis, known to cause subcutaneous and brain abscess, especially in immunocompromised hosts.
