Aim: T2Bacteria® Panel detects six ESKAPE pathogens in around 3.5 h directly whole blood. Our aim was to compare T2Bacteria with simultaneous blood culture critically ill children suspected bloodstream infection. Materials & methods: Retrospective study of admitted our tertiary-care center (2018–2020). Results: A total 60 patients were recruited, including 63 episodes and 75 T2Bacteria/blood cultures performed. Overall agreement between 78.7% a discordance 21.3% (16/75 samples). Conclusion:...
Early diagnosis of invasive Candida infections is a challenge for pediatricians, intensivists, and microbiologists. To fill this gap, new nanodiagnostic method has been developed using manual application T2 nuclear magnetic resonance to detect species. The aim study was evaluate, prospectively, the usefulness as tool T2Candida panel in pediatric patients admitted at PICU compared with blood culture.This prospective, observational, unicentric compare results simultaneous cultures candidemia...
Survival of children with combined immunodeficiency is strongly related to patient's age and clinical situation at the time hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We describe features before HSCT or enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in a cohort treated National Reference Unit.A retrospective study CIDs our Hospital during 20-year period (1995-2014) was performed, analyzing their HSCT/ERT.Thirty-one were included. Risk factors such as family history consanguinity present 35% cases,...
