Background. @entity1398 is the consequence of treatment of @entity1503 . The first-line empirical treatment should cover the prevalent microorganism of the institute. The aim of study was to establish the effectiveness of current practices used at the institution and to review the culture sensitivity pattern of isolated microorganisms. @entity1 and Methods. Data was recorded and analyzed prospectively for 226 hospitalized @entity1 of @entity1398 from January 2011 till December 2013. Results. Out of 226 cases, 173 were males and 53 were females. Clinically documented infections were 104 (46.01%) and microbiologically documented infections were 80 (35.39%), while 42 (18.58%) had pyrexia of undetermined origin. Gram negative infections accounted for 68 (85%) and @entity526 was the commonest isolate. Gram positive microorganisms were isolated in 12 (15%) cases and most common was @entity794 . First-line empirical treatment with @entity3400 / @entity7120 and @entity4509 showed response in 184 @entity1 (85.9%) till 72 hours. Conclusion. There is marked @entity281 due to Gram positive microorganisms; however, Gram negative infections are still of great concern and need further surveillance. In this study the antibiogram has shown its sensitivity for empirical antibiotic therapy used; hence, it supports continuation of the same practice.
