To describe overall site-specific hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates and to the microbiological antibiotic resistance profiles of infecting pathogens, together with their impact on multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria-associated mortality.We conducted a 5-year retrospective descriptive study HAI in patients intensive care unit (ICU) cancer center Mexico from January 2007 December 2011. The following information was collected: patient characteristics comorbidities, data related neoplasm...
Abstract BACKGROUND: Pandemic influenza A (hereafter 2009/H1N1) caused significant morbidity and mortality during the 2009 pandemia. Patients with chronic medical conditions immunosuppressive diseases had a greater risk of complications. However, data regarding characteristics outcome 2009/H1N1 infection in patients solid tumors are nonexistent. Herein, authors describe series malignancies at 3 major cancer hospitals worldwide. METHODS: The retrospectively reviewed records organ from...
Abstract Background Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections (NSTI) are severe clinical entities that occur in specific contexts. Although, neutropenia related to hematological malignancies (HM) has been described relation with NSTI, there is a paucity of published data describing its course and outcome this populationTable 1.Population characteristics outcomesAll values represented N(%) unless otherwise noted an asterisk. Variables marked asterisk ( * ), median(interquartile range). LRINEC score:...
Introduction Patients with hematologic malignancies have greater risk-factors for primary bloodstream infections (BSI). Methods From 2004–2009, we analyzed bacteremia caused by extended-spectrum beta-lactamase Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) (n = 100) and compared cephalosporin-susceptible E. in patients malignancies. Objective To assess the clinical features, risk factors, outcome of ESBL-EC BSI malignancies, to study molecular epidemiology isolates. Results The main diagnosis was acute leukemia...
Immunosupressed patients are at high risk of influenza-related complications. Influenza AH1N1 has been hypothesized to induce worse outcomes in with malignancies, but after the A(H1N1)pdm09 few publications have analyzed presentation and complications related influenza afterward.We aimed describe characteristics, factors, an oncologic center 2009 pandemic compare our case distribution National community acquired databases Mexico United States.We reviewed cases confirmed cancer from...
Literature on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in cancer patients is scarce Latin America. This population seems to have a higher risk for adverse outcomes. study aims correlate clinical characteristics with outcomes cancer.
The epidemiology of lymphomas has changed since the use antiretroviral therapy. incidence Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas (NHL) significantly decreased in high income countries but not low and middle-income where AIDS-related events remain high. This observational study describes characteristics, infectious complications main outcomes patients diagnosed with HIV lymphoma at Instituto Nacional de Cancerología.All adults >18 years from January 2010 to December 2017 were included. Information on was...
The proportion of older people living with HIV (PLWH) has increased. Non-communicable diseases occur earlier in PLWH than the general population.
Background:The proportion of older people living with HIV (PLWH) has increased.Non-communicable diseases occur earlier in PLWH than the general population.Objective: The goal this study was to estimate prevalence comorbidities and cancer a tertiary referral center Mexico City.Material methods: In retrospective study, we included > 40 years history cancer, coming Instituto Nacional de Cancerologia from 2010 through 2019.All patients needed be on antiretrovirals for at least six months.Data...
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) recipients are among patients with highest risk of adverse coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes.
We present the case of a man with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and prolonged profound neutropenia, who developed an invasive infection by Fusarium graminearum, acquired via non-cutaneous entry, gastrointestinal symptoms, sigmoid perforation liver abscesses due to portal dissemination. The etiologic agent was identified using 18S-ITS1-5.8S-ITS2-28S rRNA sequence gene, from biopsy. resolved surgical drainage antifungal treatment based on voriconazole. As far as we know, there are no previous...
To describe the clinical course of a confirmed influenza A Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus infection in patient with lymphoblastic lymphoma on chemotherapy.Case report.Instituto Nacional de Cancerología located Mexico City, national referral center for cancer patients.A 15-year-old boy, chemotherapy. Oseltamivir 75 mg BID was started within 24 hour first symptoms. The developed respiratory failure despite oseltamivir therapy; he presented prolonged severe lymphopenia and deteriorated every time...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the implementation human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) screening with rapid tests in an oncologic center Mexico City, report HIV prevalence, and describe contacts linkage care while identifying barriers performance program. In 2014, test program implemented four departments hospital “Instituto Nacional de Cancerología”. From 2014 2016, 3032 were performed hospital. overall prevalence 0.8%, highest Hematology Department (2.4%). Gynecology Department,...
People living with HIV(PLWH) and cancer are among the most vulnerable patients require constant access to medical services. We compared characteristics of PLWH in Mexico, before during COVID-19 pandemic.Patients admitted 1 year (pre-pandemic) after start pandemic (pandemic) were included. Clinical characteristics, HIV-related variables, 90-day mortality compared. Data described a proportions (N,%) central tendency measures. A multiple regression model for variables associated was...
Abstract Background Literature on SARS-CoV-2 infection in cancer patients is scarce Latin America. This population seems to have a higher risk for adverse outcomes. study aims correlate clinical characteristics with outcomes referral center Mexico. Methods We included and confirmed infection, from April, 19 December 30, 2020, at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, Clinical information was obtained medical epidemiological records. conducted descriptive analysis. For association between...
