Evaluation of Antimicrobial Resistance in Pediatric Cancer Patients

 

The College of Pharmacy at the University of Basrah conducted a study on antimicrobial resistance prevalence at the Specialist Children’s Hospital, authored by researcher Hanan Alauddin Abdul Jabbar.

Prevalent Infection

Bacterial Infection

Infection Site

Chest Region

Dominant Antibiotic

3rd Gen Cephalosporin

Clinical Analysis & Results

The study revealed a high frequency of antimicrobial resistance among oncology patients, particularly those with **hematological malignancies**. The research analyzed microbial isolates and their resistance patterns, correlating infection rates with patient-specific physiological characteristics. This data provides critical clinical evidence for optimizing antimicrobial stewardship at Basrah Children's Hospital.
