Predictors of severe disease in Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis bacteremia: a population-based study
Alcohol abuse, malignancy, as well as unconsciousness, dyspnea and falling as first signs of infection were associated with severe disease in SDSE bacteremia. These novel findings expand our knowledge of SDSE bacteremia and provide valuable insights for identifying patients at the highest risk of severe disease.
