ABSTRACT
Observational retrospective study to evaluate the etiology, the outcome and the risk factors of bloodstream infections (BSIs) in patients with liver disease. One hundred and forty-eight BSIs were diagnosed (infection rate 0.60 per 100 days of hospital stay), 62 BSIs (41.9 %) were associated with Gram-positive bacteria (infection rate 0.25 per 100 days of hospital stay) and 80 (54.4 %) with Gram-negative bacteria (infection rate 0.32 per 100 days of hospital stay). Admission-associated mortality was higher in patients with BSI than in those without BSI (20.6 versus 5.0 %, p < 0.001). Patients with cirrhosis had an increased risk to develop a BSI compared with patients with chronic hepatitis, specifically for Gram-positive (and Staphylococcus spp)-related BSI.
