Abstract

Infection is a frequent complication in the early course of acute stroke and may adversely affect stroke outcome. In the present study, we investigate early infection developing in patients within 3 days of admission to the hospital and its independent relation to recovery and stroke outcome. In addition, we identify predictors for early infections, infection subtypes, and their relation to initial stroke severity.
