We studied 390 consecutive episodes of Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in the four nonuniversity hospitals of one metropolitan area between 1977 and 1981. Overall mortality was 31%, with 52% of deaths being attributed to the infection. The 4.9% incidence of recognized endocarditis was lower than that previously reported. Although 41% of deaths occurred by the end of the third day after positive blood cultures had been obtained, choice of antimicrobial therapy bore no apparent relationship to eventual clinical outcome.
1977年至1981年间，我们在一个大都市地区的四家非大学医院研究了390例连续性金黄色葡萄球菌菌血症病例。总体死亡率为31%，其中52%的死亡归因于感染。已确认的心内膜炎发病率为4.9%，低于先前报告的发病率。尽管41%的死亡发生在血培养阳性后的第三天结束时，但抗菌治疗的选择与最终的临床结果没有明显关系。
