Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an prospective observational study assessing the effect of vitamin B12 on the odds of developing sepsis in patients with infection confirmed by a positive culture result.

The hypothesis is that patients with infection confirmed by positive cultures who develop sepsis have lower vitamin B12 levels than patients infection, confirmed by positive cultures, who do not develop sepsis.
