AI Article Synopsis
- Infectious Diseases consultation (IDC) is effective in reducing both mortality and recurrence rates in adults with bacteremia (SAB)
- A systematic review and meta-analysis show IDC also significantly lowers mortality for children with SAB
- The effect of IDC on recurrence rates in pediatric cases showed moderate variability among the studies analyzed
Article Abstract
For adult patients with bacteremia (SAB), Infectious Diseases consultation (IDC) significantly lowers mortality and recurrence rate. Our systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate that IDC is also associated with significantly lower mortality in children with SAB. Analysis of the impact of IDC on pediatric recurrence rates revealed moderate heterogeneity.

Interferon γ-induced protein 10 kDa (IP-10) or C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) is produced and secreted from specific leukocytes such as neutrophils, eosinophils, and monocytes, which play key roles in the immune response to Plasmodium infections. This systematic review aimed to collate and critically appraise the current evidence on IP-10 levels in malaria patients. It provided insights into its role in malaria pathogenesis and potential as a biomarker for Plasmodium infections and disease severity.
