RESUMO
This study evaluates the safety of early oral ambulatory treatment of adult patients diagnosed with bacteremia after their discharge from the emergency department. A cohort of 206 febrile ambulatory patients was assessed. Bacteremic low-risk patients were recommended an oral treatment and were compared with matched febrile non-bacteremic outpatients. Rates of 14-day mortality and unplanned re-consultations were similar and below 5% in both cohorts, highlighting the safety of oral therapy of low-risk bacteremia, even from its onset.
