Abstract
- The article discusses case studies which show bacteremia and/or fungemia after examining peripheral blood smears, especially in critically ill individuals with non-specific symptoms. The patients studied include a 31-year-old woman who was hospitalized for investigation of coma presented with vaginal bleeding, a 27-year-old man with poor limb movement and limb convulsions for two days, and a 53-year-old male patient with progressively reduced consciousness following head, neck and chest trauma.
