Abstract

The article presents a study which described trends in etiologies and susceptibility patterns of bloodstream infections (BSI) in hospitalized children in Malawi from 1998 to 2017. Topics discussed include the decline in child mortality in Malawi in the last 20 years due to multiple interventions, decrease in minimum incidence rates of pediatric BSI over 20 years, and pathogen etiology.
