Abstract:
:The clinical microbiology department at CMC&H, Vellore in conjunction with the haematology department carries out routine surveillance of patients admitted to the hematology department. Since 1994 in a sample population of 55 patients with various underlying clinical conditions who have had bone marrow transplant, sepsis was observed in 16 patients (29%). The predominant Gram negatives associated with sepsis were non-fermenting Gram negative bacilli and all the 5 Gram positives were coagulase negative staphylococci. These organisms were susceptible to most of the routinely used antimicrobial agents. Continued surveillance is needed to determine changing trends with respect to organisms causing systemic infections and their susceptibility to antimicrobials.
