Abstract Background The core components (CCs) of infection prevention and control (IPC) from World Health Organization (WHO) are crucial for the safety quality health care. Our objective was to examine level implementation WHO (IPC CC) in a developing country. We also aimed evaluate care-associated infections (HAIs) antimicrobial resistance (AMR) intensive care units (ICUs) association with implemented IPC CCs. Methods Members Turkish Infectious Diseases Clinical Microbiology Specialization...
In the current situation of COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare workers (HCWs) have to comply with hygiene conditions and use gloves more frequently for a longer period time than they would previously avoid infection prevent transmission.We aimed characterize adverse skin reactions occurring after hand glove in HCWs tertiary university hospital determine possible causative factors whether these measures is affected.Between April 15 May 1, 2020, cross-sectional survey was conducted, using online...
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.
Early diagnosis of acute meningitis has paramount importance in clinical practice because mortality and morbidity the disease. Examination cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) critical value for discrimination bacterial aseptic meningitis. It been previously reported that plasma viscosity can be used as an inflammatory marker. In this study we aimed to evaluate role CSF a complementary measure suspected patients.Forty-one consecutive patients who underwent lumbar puncture rule out were studied...
Infections due to carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae are associated with high morbidity and mortality. In this study, we report a hospital outbreak co-producing OXA-48 NDM-1 K. clone. The aim of the study is investigate clonal relationship strains, risk factors infection control measures.Once an was suspected at end December 2017 in our intensive care unit (ICU), carbapenem resistance identified patients' specimens. An analysis begun determine dissemination cases. A case-control...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, a pathogen that colonizes medical equipment and causes nosocomial infections due to its ability form biofilms, has high mortality rates. This study investigated the risk factors related in patients who were diagnosed with S. maltophilia bacteremia. It is multi-center, retrospective ad observational cohort study. The demographic characteristics, clinical findings, microbiological data, for obtained from records of at ten different hospitals between January 1,...
Fungus ball in the concha bullosa is an extremely rare disease. We described a case of fungus 22-year-old woman. Preoperative diagnosis was based on nasal endoscopy and computed tomography scanning. The patient endoscopically operated on. examination removed material reported as fungal infection. This found worth writing because location its occurrence this location.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, managing process of solid organ transplantation has become a significant matter for transplant centres. In this study, we report our experiences on evaluating effects in patients with recent liver transplants.We evaluated who received transplants during three close consecutive periods time. For conducted between October 1 and December 31, 2019, January March 10, 2020 11 June 22, 2020, lung tomographies were inspected radiological signs viral pneumonia. after 11,...
Background: In chronic hepatitis B patients with or exposed to the risk of osteoporosis renal dysfunction, switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) alafenamide (TAF) entecavir (ETV) may be right choice. Objectives: This study aimed present real-life data in terms efficacy and safety a TAF/ETV treatment change while receiving TDF. Methods: retrospective was conducted on 344 adult 10 centers. The who had changed ETV (n = 107) TAF 237) TDF were analyzed. collected at 0 6 months...
Weeks and even months after recovering from the SARS-CoV-2 infection, clinically more severe cases are being reported, which suggestive of COVID-19- related multisystemic inflammatory syndromes (MIS). Firstly on March 2020, this condition was reported to be COVID-19 children (MIS-C). Since June a syndrome similar multisystem in adults (MIS-A) came noticed as well. We here case 24-year-old young woman who had gone hospital with abdominal pain later developed cough, followed by development...
There are many causes of conductive hearing loss. Otoplasty is a commonly performed cosmetic surgery to correction for prominent ear. We discussed an unusual cause loss, bilateral complete meatal obstruction following otoplasty, in this article. This complication was probably due unsuitable placement the Furnas sutures. In literature, as unilateral has been described rarely, but not defined. Hearing loss recovered completely after revision surgery. Correct diagnosis, accurate preoperative or...
Aim To analyze developing infections after living donor hepatectomy (LDH) in liver donors (LLDs). Methods Demographic and clinical characteristics of 1106 LLDs were retrospectively analyzed terms whether postoperative infection development. Therefore, divided into two groups: with (n = 190) without 916) antimicrobial agent use. Results The median age was 29.5 (min-max: 18-55). A total 257 (23.2%) attacks 1-8) developed 190 (17.2%) LLDs. patients the that longer intensive care unit (ICU)...
Purpose: To determine the differences between conjunctival bacterial flora of hemodialysis patients and healthy subjects, effect duration on flora, in vitro antibiotic susceptibility patterns to fluoroquinolones.Methods: Sixty subjects (32 male, 28 female) 60 (33 27 who had renal failure due reasons other than diabetic nephropathy with no previous history intraocular surgery participated this study. Statistical analysis difference culture positivity a control group was determined using...
Oral colonization of Acinetobacter baumannii can lead to infections such as pneumonia and sepsis. We aimed evaluate oral hospitalized patients in ICUs examine risk factors for colonization, molecular epidemiology, incidence sepsis.The study began February 2021. cultures were taken. The microorganisms identified by a Maldi-tof MS mass spectrometry device. Colistin resistance genes investigated polymerase chain reaction. Clonal relationships determined pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.A. was...
Aim: Antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens used in the treatment of HIV are assumed to suppress virus plasma indefinitely and restore CD4 lymphocyte count. There is increasing evidence that a reversed CD4/CD8 ratio associated with immune dysfunction, even patients who have achieved virological suppression ART elevated lymphocytes. The has emerged as guiding marker an indicator immunoactivation HIV-infected patients. It was aimed evaluate HIV-diagnosed at baseline follow-up after regimen....
The uncertain treatment duration for nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA) used in the of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is an important problem both patients and physicians. aim this study was to evaluate determinants virologic relapse (VR) optimum time discontinuation follow-up CHB who voluntarily discontinued after virological suppression achieved under NA use.

Objectives: In the past decade, advances in immunological therapy have increased survival of kidney recipients and their grafts.However, it has not achieved desired level improvement.This study aims to reveal mortality among recipients.Methods: Medical data patients, who had undergone transplantation (KT) between November 2010 December 2020, were retrospectively reviewed.Inclusion criteria adult recipients, died.Exclusion pediatric en bloc dual KT, with missing data, a primary...
Aim: Predicting the diagnosis of candidemia remains a challenge for physicians. It is difficult to distinguish from other potential conditions, especially in patients under intensive care. Although blood culture gold standard diagnosis, there continued search markers that may be used early prediction.This study intended assess if procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) able guide course Candidemia.Materials Methods: The included over age 18 admitted Reanimation Intensive Care Unit...
