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.
