Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe neurological disease with high morbidity and mortality. Infection rates of 26% to 58% have been reported in patients with ICH. Infections not only increase the length of hospital stay and healthcare costs but also increase mortality, worse functional outcomes, and increase hospital readmission rates.
