Background The incidence of candidemia is increasing in developing countries. Very little known about the epidemiology Peru. aim this study to describe incidence, microbiology, clinical presentation and outcomes Candida bloodstream infections three Lima-Callao hospitals. Methods spp. isolates were identified prospectively at participant hospitals between November 2013 January 2015.

The prolonged effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in a developing country is not well established.An observational database was established at the HIV clinic Almenara Hospital Lima, Peru 1996. All 564 initially antiretroviral-naive HIV-infected persons (mean CD4 count 91 cells/mm3) who received combination ART were followed over time.The overall survival rate 96% year 2, 94% 4, and 91% 5. Among initiated with counts <100 cells/mm3, 3 years 95%. Opportunistic infections while on...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an additional slow-evolving pandemic that precedes the COVID-19 and will continue when it ends. However, in countries such as Peru where there high consumption inadequate prescription of antibiotics, a more challenging future scenario can be expected. Stewardship Programs (ASP) are multidisciplinary teams professionals aim to contain emergence multidrug-resistant organisms through strategies audit antibiotic or creating treatment guidelines based on local...

Abstract Background Delays in appropriate therapy of infections affect clinical outcomes. The aim this study was to compare the and economic outcomes patients with cUTI cIAI due cephalosporin- carbapenem-resistant GNOs similar caused by nonresistant GNOs. Methods A retrospective cohort admitted two tertiary care hospitals Lima-Callao, Peru between January December 2017. Patients resistant strains were compared those for failure initial antibiotic regimen (defined as worsened status, change...

Antiretroviral therapies have proved life-saving in HIV infection, dramatically reducing morbidity and mortality.With longer survival, morbidities mortalities infection are increasingly similar to the associated with ageing.In treated risk of these is linked immune activation, inflammation coagulation indices.And persons failure restore circulating CD4 T cell numbers a greater as well heightened levels coagulation.The drivers incompletely defined could be related sustained low viral...
