A patient has a fever, a new RLL consolidation, S. aureus in sputum, and S. aureus bacteremia. Does this meet NHSN PNEU criteria, or is it a CLABSI?

Can a fever still count toward NHSN CAUTI when another infection, like influenza, could explain it?

Can a patient still meet NHSN CAUTI criteria after catheter removal and discharge?
