How are BSIs Diagnosed?

Diagnosis of BSIs involves a combination of clinical assessment and laboratory tests. Blood cultures are the gold standard for detecting pathogens in the bloodstream. Additional tests may include:
Complete blood count (CBC)
C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin levels
Imaging studies to identify the source of infection
Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential for guiding appropriate antimicrobial therapy and improving patient outcomes.
