  Background: In an era where the common interest in microbiology is on the silent and scary growth of pathogenic microorganisms, the necessity of trying to understand better these organisms' almost ancient world has not gotten out of our sight-especially those isolated and analysed in the laboratory, from fragile pediatric patients’ specimens. Immunocompromised patients in pediatry come from various pathogenetic and pathologic conditions. They are constantly at risk of infections, and because of the intense therapies they are going through sometimes, they can also become reservoirs of certain diseases. The current study strives to investigate the impact of such a risk towards preventing increased hospital Length of Stay (LOS) among immunocompromised pediatric patients as much as increased mortality or premature death.
