Diarrhea in children under 5 years of age from Ifakara, Tanzania: a case-control study.

abstract：:Blood culture contamination greatly affects clinical decisions. Hence, it is of interest to assess the influence of factors such as the volume of blood drawn and the site of blood draw on the rates of blood culture contamination. In a retrospective study, blood cultures from infants and children up to 18 years of age ...
