Routine fingersticks for blood glucose monitoring are essential for the management of diabetic patients. However, the development of infections following fingersticks is a potential complication of blood glucose monitoring that has been reported in the literature. We describe a case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia introduced during a routine fingerstick for blood glucose monitoring in a febrile neutropenic patient.
常规指尖采血监测血糖对于糖尿病患者的管理至关重要。然而,文献中已经报道了指尖采血后发生感染是血糖监测的一种潜在并发症。我们描述了一例发热性中性粒细胞减少症患者在常规指尖采血监测血糖时发生铜绿假单胞菌菌血症的病例。
