Nutritional status and bacteremia patterns in children with diarrheal diseases: A comparative analysis of bacteremia from Salmonella Typhi versus other pathogens
Malnourished children are at higher risk for severe bloodstream infections caused by other bacterial species, leading to higher mortality rates and increased antimicrobial resistance. However, Salmonella Typhi bacteremia occurred more frequently in well-nourished children. These sort of distribution of bacteremia patterns across patients' nutritional status can provide insights and improve clinical management.
