Mitigation strategies among cutaneous T-cell lymphoma patients with positive

Infections originating in the skin/soft tissue are a major cause of mortality in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). We performed a retrospective analysis to characterize cutaneous cultures and assess risk factors for bacteremia among 69 patients with CTCL. Cutaneous infections and antimicrobial resistance were common. Black race and lymph node involvement were associated with bacteremia. Mitigating strategies for invasive infections in CTCL remain unclear.
