Short-course therapy for severe infections
Ethan Rubinstein,Yoav Keynan +1 more
TL;DR: A short course of antimicrobial therapy should be the aim of all treatment unless otherwise indicated because immunodeficiencies, long-standing infections, abscesses, or infections associated with foreign bodies cannot be treated with short-course therapies.

Risk factors for mortality caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in cancer patients.
Sonia Isabel Cuervo,Jorge E. Cortes,Ricardo Sánchez,José Yesid Rodríguez,Edwin Silva,Diego Tibavizco,Patricia Arroyo +6 more
TL;DR: The risk factors for mortality caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in cancer patients were described in this article, and the risk factors do not differ considerably from those of patients who do not have cancer.
