This is a retrospective study of the results of 4,642 blood cultures taken from 2,190 patients from 1960 to 1967 in one London hospital. The results suggested that an increased incidence of bacteraemias at this particular hospital was mainly due to the increase in the number of patients having blood cultures. Some of the bacteraemias were terminal or transient and probably of doubtful clinical significance.
这是一项回顾性研究,研究对象是1960年至1967年期间在伦敦一家医院对2190名患者进行的4642次血培养结果。结果表明,这家特定医院菌血症发病率的增加主要是由于进行血培养的患者数量增加。一些菌血症是终末期或短暂性的,其临床意义可能存疑。
