Abstract
Bacteremia in cases of complicated APN indicates a severe disease, which is more likely to recur in patients with non-E coli bacteremia. Our study showed that bacteremia is indeed a useful clinical indicator of severe disease and, if found, should influence patient management. Therefore, we recommend that blood culture samples should be taken in all patients with complicated APN.
