To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of olfactory or gustatory dysfunction in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Recent reports suggest that sudden smell loss might be a symptom of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The aim this study was to investigate the frequency olfactory in an outpatient population who presented coronavirus testing center during 2-week period and evaluate diagnostic value “sudden loss” for screening procedures. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In cross-sectional controlled cohort study, 500 patients with symptoms common cold...
Since electronic prescribing is limited to few hospitals, point prevalence surveys, such as the standardized European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption survey (ESAC PPS), are an alternative tool for monitoring and helping identify performance indicators trends. The main objective this study was assess targets quality improvement. Each hospital had carry out within 2 weeks. department be surveyed in 1day. Data collected, all inpatients, included age gender. For patients on systemic...
Abstract Purpose Knowledge regarding patients’ clinical condition at severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) detection is sparse. Data in the international, multicenter Lean European Open Survey on SARS-CoV-2-Infected Patients (LEOSS) cohort study may enhance understanding of COVID-19. Methods Sociodemographic and characteristics SARS-CoV-2-infected patients, enrolled LEOSS between March 16, 2020, May 14, were analyzed. Associations baseline stages diagnosis...
Abstract Recent transmission of dengue viruses has increased in tropical and subtropical areas industrialized countries because international travel. We describe a case nosocomial virus Germany by needlestick injury. Diagnosis was made TaqMan reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction when serologic studies were negative.
Introduction Early initiation of antimicrobial treatment for acute infection is an important task in the emergency department (ED) with a likely impact on hospital-wide antibiotic use pattern. We implemented stewardship (ABS) programme focused non-trauma patients at large university hospital centre targeting broad-spectrum cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone use. Methods Guidelines discussion groups emphasised reduced prescription third-generation cephalosporins fluoroquinolones encouraged...
Restricted use of third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones has been linked to a reduced incidence hospital-acquired infections with multidrug-resistant bacteria. We implemented an intensified antibiotic stewardship (ABS) programme in the medical service university hospital center aiming at reduction by least 30% these two drug classes. The ABS was focused on 300-bed service. Prescription discouraged, whereas penicillins encouraged. Monthly density measured WHO-ATC defined locally...
The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed many hospitals to their capacity limits. Therefore, a triage of patients been discussed controversially primarily through an ethical perspective. term contains aspects such as urgency treatment, severity the disease and pre-existing conditions, access critical care, or classification regarding subsequent clinical pathways starting from emergency department. determination is important not only for patient but also planning in hospitals. We examine performance...
To compare rates of in vitro fluoroquinolone resistance bacterial isolates obtained from inpatients two haematology-oncology services with high and low consumption.Two hospitals consistently (A) (B) use their between the years 1999 2002 were identified a hospital antibiotic surveillance project. Rates to fluoroquinolones determined for Escherichia coli coagulase-negative staphylococcal bloodstream isolates, also Pseudomonas aeruginosa Staphylococcus aureus any site.Fluoroquinolone E. was...
Tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA) was first described in 1997 a patient France. The causative agent, Rickettsia slovaca, is transmitted by Dermacentor ticks. In southwestern Germany we encountered with tick bite at the dorsal scalp that resulted an eschar and nuchal lymphadenopathy. Additionally, fever, malaise as well elevated inflammatory markers transaminases occurred. characteristic clinical picture along positive antibody testing for rickettsiae of tick-borne spotted fever group...
The aim of this study was to investigate whether COVID-associated olfactory impairment differs from disorders due other upper respiratory tract infections. We investigated the frequency a SARS-CoV-2 infection among subjects presenting with subjective corona outpatient clinic between October 2020 and March 2021. Olfactory gustatory loss were tested psychophysically, type infection, versus 14 common cold viruses, assessed nasopharyngeal swabs. Differences smell caused by pathogens compared....
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the course of olfactory dysfunction [OD] due upper respiratory tract infections [URTI] especially for COVID-19 [C19] in a multicentric design and investigate possible predictors outcome. Methods In study, patients ( n = 147, which 96 were women) with OD URTI, including C19 non-C19 evaluated at two visits standardized medical history “Sniffin’ Sticks” extended psychophysical testing examine improvement function. Results showed better overall...
