Turkey is currently hosting largest number Syrian refugees—more 2.7 million. A limited are living camps settled around border, others spread throughout Turkey. This explosive unexpected increase population has had several negative...
The aim of this study is to assess the factors influencing early mortality (7-day after index blood culture) in haematological malignancy patients with Gram negative bacilli (GNB) bacteraemia.Infection control committee records were reviewed identify cases between March 2006 and June 2011. Only one bacteraemic episode per patient was included study.A total 154 GNB bacteraemia identified. rate 19.5% (30 out 154). Blood cultures revealed Enterobacteriacea 120 (Escherichia coli; 86, Klebsiella...
This study compared the effect of monotherapy colistin, tigecycline, and their combination in sepsis model mice. OXA-48 producing Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) strain was used Balb/c The mice were divided into competent Methylprednisolone acetate (MPA)-treated groups. Each group sub-divided (1) colistin or (2) tigecycline (3) colistin/tigecycline therapy. After 3 hours intraperitoneal bacterial inoculation, antimicrobials administered, sacrificed at 24 48 Time-kill curve...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> In recent years, multidrug-resistant <i>Acinetobacter baumannii</i> has been reported as an important nosocomial pathogen, and treatment options are limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the additional effect sulbactam on monotherapy with colistin, tigecycline imipenem in experimental sepsis carbapenem-resistant <i>A. mice. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Sepsis developed 8- 10-week-old BALB/c mice...
Galactomannan (GM) assay is commonly used as an early diagnostic tool for invasive fungal infection (IFI) in high-risk hematology patients. False positivity frequently observed GM with the use of piperacillin/tazobactam. The usage generic drugs over original brand has a significant cost advantage. aim this study was to assess performance test among patients receiving and piperacillin/tazobactam formulations. included 85 adult patients; 62.4% were male hematological malignancy currently group...
Understanding immune responses to native antigens in response natural infections can lead improved approaches vaccination. This study sought characterize the humoral anthrax toxin components, capsule and spore individuals (n = 46) from Kayseri Malatya regions of Turkey who had recovered mild or severe forms cutaneous infection, compared regional healthy controls 20). IgG antibodies each component, poly-γ-D-glutamic acid capsule, Bacillus collagen-like protein anthracis (BclA) antigen,...
Cutaneous Candida infections may occur in patients with HIV/AIDS, cancer, receiving chemotherapy and solid organ transplantation. A 32-year-old woman was admitted to the department suffering from pruritic erythematous plaque on left side of her face for past two months. The patient HIV positive, diagnosed five years previously, had been antiretroviral therapy (tenofovir/emtricitabine lopinavir/ritonavir) a year. She not compliant medication. Elevated RNA load decreased CD4+ lymphocyte count...
Our multicentre study aims to identify baseline factors and provide guidance for therapeutic decisions regarding Magnusiomyces-associated infections, an emerging threat in patients with haematological malignancies.HM proven (Magnusiomyces capitatus) M. capitatus or clavatus) clavatus (formerly Saprochaete capitata clavata) infection diagnosed between January 2010 December 2020 were recorded from the SEIFEM (Sorveglianza Epidemiologica Infezioni nelle Emopatie) group FungiScope (Global...
The role of ribavirin in the treatment Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is scarce. We retrospectively reviewed features 81 hospitalized patients with laboratory confirmed CCHF between January 2007 and December 2010. median age was 45 years 47 were male. Out patients, 6 received ribavirin. Demographic characteristics findings who not different from did receive antiviral. There no statistically significant difference duration symptoms before admission (P = 0·47) two groups. Of 29 four...
Nervous system involvement is a rare manifestation of brucellosis. We describe our experience the diagnosis, treatment and final outcome patients with neurobrucellosis at Erciyes University Gevher Nesibe Hospital, tertiary referral centre in Central Anatolia, Turkey. Thirty-six adult were diagnosed from January 1997 to December 2006. Headache fever most common symptoms. Neck stiffness was present 25 patients. Brucella spp isolated blood nine cerebrospinal fluid 11. Doxycycline (by mouth)...
Sir,The spectrum of severity disease among patients hospitalized with purulent soft tissue infections was recently described in the present journal.[1] Here, we wish to communicate our experienc...
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the role nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs ( NSAID ) injection on severity local infection and effect progression soft tissue STI ).The mouse model with Group A streptococcus GAS developed treated diclofenac sodium DS intramuscularly. Mice were divided into five groups: administered for 48 h before (Group 1), ‐ maintained 2), 3), zero time 4), control 5). In vitro , a high concentration (40 mg/L) inhibited growth, whereas lower (0.4 not...
We aimed to evaluate the ultrasonography (US) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) findings of tularemia in neck.US CECT 58 patients with serologically proven were retrospectively evaluated. Forty-eight underwent US 42 CECT. Lymph node characteristics parotid preauricular region involvement analyzed using In addition, larynx, oropharynx, retropharynx; presence periorbital edema; neck abscess formation evaluated Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) results enlarged lymph nodes...
