Özet

Introduction: Blood Stream Infections (BSI) are the second or the third most common infections acquired in Intensive Care Units (ICU) following pulmonary infections. Risk factors likely to affect response to treatment in BSI's have been investigated in several studies. However, there have not been any studies in which the predictors of treatment failures have been evaluated to this extent.
