[Microbiologic aspects of bacteremia in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit].
The microbiologic aspects of the bacteriemia were prospectively studied in patients hospitalized in a pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Thirty six episodes of bacteriemia were detected in 29 patients. Secondary bacteriemia prevailed on the primary ones. The most frequent infectious foci associated with bacteriemia were the infections of respiratory tract, followed by intravascular catheterism. The microorganisms more frequently associated with bacteriemia were: Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Eacherichia coli and Pseudomonas seruginosa.
