Objetivo: mapear o custo e dimensões do tratamento da infecção primária de corrente sanguínea em pacientes adultos e pediátricos. Métodos: revisão de escopo conduzida em cinco bases de dados, nacionais e internacionais, e três bases de literatura cinzenta. Resultados: dos 258 estudos identificados, 12 foram incluídos na amostra final. Os custos associados ao tratamento de infecções primárias da corrente sanguínea variaram de US$122,91 a US$439.015,00, com incremento no tempo de internação entre 10 e 135 dias. Na análise qualitativa, evidenciaram-se aumento da morbidade e de complicações relacionadas ao prolongamento da hospitalização, a necessidade de implementação de intervenções para mitigação de riscos e o elevado impacto financeiro para os sistemas de saúde. Conclusão: a infecção primária da corrente sanguínea configura-se como um evento adverso de significativo impacto clínico, econômico e organizacional, por estar associada ao prolongamento das internações, ao aumento da morbimortalidade e à maior demanda por recursos, impondo importante ônus aos sistemas de saúde. Contribuições para a prática: os achados reforçam a importância de políticas institucionais voltadas à segurança do paciente, bem como da adoção de práticas preventivas, visando ao fortalecimento dos desfechos assistenciais e à otimização dos recursos disponíveis.
