Corticosteroids, Rifampicin and LMWH impact plasma aMMP-8 and TIMP-1 and aMMP-8/TIMP-1 molar ratio in methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia Open
Corticosteroids, rifampicin, and LMWH may elevate aMMP-8 and aMMP-8/TIMP-1 levels in MS-SAB, however, the prognostic value of aMMP-8/TIMP-1 is not disrupted. Clinicians should consider the presence of corticosteroids, rifampicin, and LMWH …
