Risk Factors for Viridans Group Streptococcal Bacteremia in Neutropenic and Non-neutropenic Patients: A Single Center Case-Case-Control Study

摘要

BackgroundViridans group streptococcal (VGS) bacteremia is common among neutropenic patients. Although VGS bacteremia occurs in non-neutropenic patients, risk factors are not well established. We conducted a case-case-control study to identify risk factors for VGS among neutropenic and non-neutropenic patients.
