Prospective Genomic Surveillance of Severe Febrile Illness in Tanzanian Children Identifies High Mortality and Resistance to First-Line Antibiotics in Bloodstream Infections

2025-05-26

Abstract excerpt

We evaluated the prevalence, pathogen profile, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns of bloodstream infections (BSIs) among 392 children with severe febrile illness who presented (July 26, 2022-September 20, 2023) to a referral hospital in Tanzania. We identified a causative pathogen in 9.8% (n=38) of participants. Blood culture analysis confirmed BSI in 5.2% (n=20) of participants with a case fatality rate...
