ABSTRACT No data on whether brucellar meningitis or meningoencephalitis can be treated with oral antibiotics an intravenous extended-spectrum cephalosporin, namely, ceftriaxone, which does not accumulate in phagocytes, should added to the regimen exist literature. The aim of a study conducted Istanbul, Turkey, was compare efficacy and tolerability ceftriaxone-based antibiotic treatment regimens those protocol patients these conditions. This retrospective enrolled 215 adult 28 health care...
Background:Nosocomial infections caused by Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) are increasing. Our aim in this study was to investigate the risk factors of CRKP infections. Material andMethods:A retrospective cohort performed between 1 January and 31 December 2012 ICU patients. Data taken from hospital infection control database for CRKP. The clinical samples collected patients were tested an automatized system disk diffusion. SPSS software v11.5 used statistical analysis....
The aim of this study was to determine the clinical features, and outcome patients with miliary tuberculosis (TB). We retrospectively evaluated 263 (142 male, 121 female, mean age: 44 years, range: 16–89 years) TB. Criteria for diagnosis TB were at least one followings in presence presentation suggestive such as prolonged fever, night sweats, anorexia, weight loss: radiologic criterion pathological and/or microbiological criterion; criterion. pattern seen 88% patients. Predisposing factors...
Abstract Background The varicella-zoster virus induces a primary infection known as varicella (chickenpox) and subsequently becomes latent in the dorsal root or cranial nerve ganglia. Later life, may reactivate, leading to secondary called herpes zoster (shingles). Despite increasing population at risk, research on shingles Türkiye is limited. This study aimed assess clinical demographic characteristics of risk factors for postherpetic neuralgia among adults Türkiye.Table 1.Demographic...
Background: About 10% of individuals with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) develop (TB) disease during their lifetime. People living HIV (PLWH) have a significantly higher risk developing from compared to those without HIV. Many treatment guidelines recommend screening and treating for LTBI. Objective: This study aimed investigate the LTBI frequency PLWH rates development follow-up. Methods: A total 483 were admitted 3 research hospitals between January 2005 April 2020. Patients who 18...
The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has had an enormous emotional impact on some vulnerable groups, such as people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (PLHIV). This study was planned aim assessing anxiety levels PLHIV and sources their anxiety.A web-based questionnaire sent to using virtual snowball sampling method. included questions about sociodemographic status, information HIV infection, Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Additionally, opinions...
COVID-19 has become a major public health problem since December, 2019 and no highly effective drug been found until now. Numbers of infected people deaths by are increasing every day worldwide, therefore self-isolation protection recommended to prevent the spread virus especially protect risk groups such as elderly population with comorbidities including diabetes, hypertension, cancer, cardiovascular diseases metabolic syndrome. On other hand, young without any secondary disease have died...

BACKGROUND Improper use of antimicrobials can cause adverse drug events and high costs. The purpose this study was to investigate the frequency potential drug-drug interactions associated with among hospitalized patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This conducted on same day in 5 different hospitals Turkey. We included patients aged ³18 years who received at least 1 antimicrobial any other drug. Micromedex® online reference system used control describe interactions. Drug were classified as...
HIV and syphilis are sexually transmitted infections with overlapping risk factors, potentially leading to increased transmission treatment challenges. Understanding the clinical management of co-infection among people living is crucial for public health interventions.
Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening is strongly recommended in the pre-transplant evaluation of solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, although it remains inadequate many centers. We decided to investigate TB risk assessment, LTBI treatment, and registry rates Turkey.
To indicate the clinical course and results of brucellosis in our region during recent years, to compare these findings literature. Materials methods: This study was based on a review medical records adult patients older than 14 years who were followed with diagnosis from March 1997 October 2010. Results: Included this analysis 317 patients, including 136 males (43%), an average age 40 ± 17 years. In 66 (21%), reproduction Brucella identified blood. Of 61% as having acute form, 35% subacute...
In 2016, Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae was diagnosed for a man in Turkey. He had been bitten by Hyalomma marginatum tick, from which PCR detected rickettsial DNA. Sequence analysis of the DNA identified R. mongolitimonae. Immunofluorescence assay patient serum indicated conorii, cross-reacts. is recommended rickettsiosis diagnoses.
Mucormycosis is a rare invasive fungal infection most commonly encountered in the immunocompromised host. We analyzed 51 adult patients treated for mucormycosis between 2003 and 2013 recorded at tertiary university hospital Turkey.We examined following data all patients: age, sex, predisposing disease, symptoms, treatment, surgical procedure, concomitant infections, intensive care requirement, outcomes.During study period cases of were documented; 54.9% female. The mean age was 44.2 ± 18.2...
Background: Broad-spectrum empirical antimicrobials are frequently prescribed for patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) despite the lack of evidence bacterial coinfection.Aims: We aimed to cross-sectionally determine frequency antibiotics use, type prescribed, and factors influencing use in hospitalized COVID-19 confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. Study Design:The study was a national, multicenter, retrospective, single-day point prevalence study.Methods: This singleday...
