Abstract

The study was conducted on patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) in Mosul city hospitals (Ibn Sina teaching hospital, Mosul general hospital and AL-Salam teaching hospital) in Nineveh Governorate/Iraq. 90 blood samples both of sexes and for different age groups ranging from (21-90) years were collected through this study, 24 blood samples were collected from healthy people used as a control group for the period between the first of July and December of 2022.

 The present study aimed to: Isolation and identification of bacteremia in ICU patients by using the Vitek-2 compact system and study of some immunological parameters (IgM, IgG and hs-CRP) in ICU patients with and without bacteremia. The results of the current study indicated that 66(73.33%) blood samples revealed negative cultures and 24(26.67%) blood sample revealed positive cultures consisting of 14(58.34%) Gram-positive bacteremia were predominant, and 10(41.66%) Gram-negative bacteremia. The results of ELISA found high level of IgM, IgG and hs-CRP in serum of bacteremia patients compared with healthy control group high significant difference P-value (<0.001). Also mean level of IgM, IgG and hs-CRP in serum of non-bacteremia patients group compared with healthy control group high significant difference P-value (<0.001).
