摘要: Background Nosocomial bacteremia caused by the contamination of intravenous (IV) infusates is considered rare. Unfortunately, this problem has been underestimated because its identification requires culturing infusates, a procedure not performed routinely. Methods This study was conducted in referral hospital where IV are admixed nursing areas. The aim to determine prevalence infusate adult patients with gram-negative rod (GNR) bacteremia. Over period 32 months, specimen drawn for culture from each patient recruited after laboratory reported GNR blood. Results A total 384 were cultured who had diagnosed Seven grew culture, rate 2% (7/384; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1% 3%). In all cases, infectious organism same as isolated Infusate responsible 7% (7/108; CI = 2% 11%) primary bloodstream infections and 11% (7/62; CI=2% 22%) associated central venous catheter infection. Conclusions For hospitals drugs units, we recommend instituting routine practice following diagnosis
