T2 and SeptiCyte RAPID Duration Project
Sponsor: The University of Queensland
Summary
Infection with bacteria and other germs in the blood can be deadly. How long germs stay in the blood is important for two reasons. The first is that if they stay in the blood for many days it is a sign that antibiotics may need to be changed. The second is that if they stay in the blood for only a short time it may give doctors confidence to switch to tablets and consider early discharge from hospital. This study is evaluating the diagnostic and prognostic performance of two novel technologies when used to measure the duration of the bloodstream infection.
