Acute local bacteria infection is a source for blood stream infection in leukemia patients

ABSTRACT

The study included to leukemia patients has septicemia and any acute local bacterial infection in any local of their bodies. Our study may detect the bacteria which associated with septicemia by culturing blood sample that taken from each patient in this study and culture the sample which took from acute local bacterial infection to isolate the bacteria that responsible on this local infection. The results of this study show the similarity between bacterial isolates from blood stream and local infection, therefore confirmed the importance of acute local bacterial infection in transfer the pathogenic bacteria to blood stream in leukemia patients
