Seven-year study of bacteremia in hospitalized patients on chronic hemodialysis in a single tertiary hospital.
Sixty-seven hospitalized bacteremic patients on chronic hemodialysis were matched with 134 bacteremic controls. Mortality (25% and 28% respectively) was unrelated to dialysis. Predictors of mortality were: advanced age, decreased functional capacity, and malignancies. Most common organisms recovered were Staphylococcus aureus (30%), coagulase negative Staphylococcus (15%), and polymicrobial agents (15%).

Phylogenetic analysis of a human isolate from the 2000 Israel West Nile virus epidemic.
Specimens from a patient of the 2000 Israel West Nile virus epidemic were analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Products corresponding to E, NS3, and NS5 sequences were amplified from cerebellar but not from cortical samples. Phylogenetic analyses indicated a closer relationship of this isolate to 1996 Romanian and 1999 Russian than to 1998-99 Israeli or 1999 New York isolates.
