Key Points

Identify clinical predictors and risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in adult neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies and KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections.
Analyzed adult neutropenic patients presenting with hematological malignancies and confirmed bloodstream infections caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Assessed clinical characteristics, microbiological profiles, and risk determinants linked to in-hospital mortality in comparison to Gram-negative bacteremia cohorts.
In-hospital mortality was linked to specific clinical risk factors in immunocompromised hosts with carbapenemase-producing bacterial infections.
Prognostic determinants highlight the severity of carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bloodstream infections in neutropenic cancer populations.

Implication

Clinical analysis reveals mortality predictors in neutropenic blood cancer patients with KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream infections, highlighting urgent management needs.

Abstract

To the Editor,A study on risk factors for in-hospital mortality of bloodstream infection (BSI) due to Gram-negative bacilli was recently reported from Rome, Italy, in the present journal [1]. An ad...
