Time-to-positivity of blood cultures in children with sepsis

A Dierig, C Berger, PKA Agyeman… - Frontiers in …, 2018 - frontiersin.org
Background: Blood cultures are essential for the diagnosis and further appropriate treatment
in children with suspected sepsis. In most hospitals, children will be empirically treated or
closely monitored for at least 48 h awaiting results of blood cultures. Several studies have
challenged the optimal duration of empiric treatment in the era of continuously monitored
blood culture systems. The aim of our study was to investigate time-to-positivity (TTP) of
blood cultures in children with proven sepsis. Methods: The Swiss Pediatric Sepsis Study …
