Objective: To determine the incidence of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) infection in patients with CRE colonization and compare the treatment outcomes between febrile patients with non-septic presentation who received empirical treatment with meropenem and those who did not. Material and Methods: The medical records of febrile patients with CRE colonization aged 100 cells/mm3 can be empirically treated with non-carbapenems.
