Evaluation of the effect of antibiotics used during parenteral nutrition treatment on Candidemia.
Parenteral nutrition is an important risk factor for candidemia. In this risk analysis study, the effect of previous antibiotic administration apart from the length of hospital stay, duration of Parenteral nutrition treatment, and Candida score parameters on developing candidemia was evaluated in the non-neutropenic patients receiving Parenteral nutrition treatment. ⋯ There are some well-known risk factors including length of hospital stay, duration of Parenteral nutrition treatment, and Candida score; the potential impact of piperacillin-tazobactam administration should also be considered since they may be effective on the development of candidemia.

C-reactive protein and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio as predictors of mortality in coronavirus disease 2019.
This study investigates whether C-reactive protein, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio could be useful to predict mortality in COVID-19. ⋯ Our results showed that neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and C-reactive protein are significantly higher in patients leading to death and could be effective biomarkers in predicting COVID-19 fatality. Furthermore, C-reactive protein could be used as an independent biomarker to predict death in patients with COVID-19, regardless of gender and age (p=0.000).
