Clinical manifestations, management, and diagnostic techniques used in hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients with skin infections: A five-year review

The clinical management of infections depends on many factors including location of the patient presentation, specialty of the health care provider, and utilization of diagnostic tests. Appropriate management is especially critical when managing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients due to their susceptibility to infection. This retrospective chart review aimed to identify (1) clinical manifestations of skin infections, (2) clinical management methods, and (3) diagnostic testing patterns.
