Effect of the Incubation Time on Blood Culture Results and Bacterial Pathogens Causing Bloodstream Infections among Children Attending Sekou Toure Regional Referral Hospital in Mwanza, Tanzania

2025-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> One-hour delay in initiating appropriate antimicrobial treatment increases the mortality rate of patients with bloodstream infections by 2%. This highlights the risk associated with manual blood culture methods, as they tend to have long turn-around time with initial incubation period of 18-24 hours leads to delays in obtaining diagnostic results. This study examined the impact of incubation...
