Characteristics of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia in community-acquired and nosocomial infections in diabetic patients.

Abstract

The nosocomial group had more ESBL infections which might account for the higher mortality. The HbA1c level during the course of infection did not affect the outcome. Pneumonia, leukopenia, cirrhosis, and a high serum creatinine ratio at admission were the risk factors for poor outcome.
