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...
<title>Abstract</title> Background As the epidemiology of infective endocarditis (IE) changes, updated antimicrobial management assessments are needed. This study aimed to evaluate patients with healthcare-associated (HAIE) and community-acquired (CAIE), as well identify risk factors for 28-day mortality. The findings intended guide treatment both HAIE CAIE. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort 131 IE treated at Kocaeli University Hospital from December 2016 2022. Data were extracted...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spread rapidly around the world, and COVID-19 HIV co-infection also became common. In this study, we aimed to investigate impact of vaccination preferences rates on severity in patients with co-infection.
Objective: Risky exposure of healthcare workers to blood and body fluids is one the most critical global issues. This study aimed determine frequency, conditions, interventions risky contacts provide guidance on infection control measures enhance occupational safety.
<title>Abstract</title> Background This retrospective, multi-center cohort study aimed to compare the effects of Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor (INSTI) based therapies containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/ Emstristabin (FTC) /Dolutegravir (DTG), TDF/FTC/Cobicistat (C)/Elvitegravir(EVG), TDF/FTC/Raltegravir (RAL) and alafenamide (TAF)/FTC/Bictegravir (BIC), TAF/FTC/c/EVG) combinations on bone metabolism, lipid profile, renal function in people living with HIV (PLWH). Methods...
Background and Objectives: CD4+ T lymphocytes are the primary targets of HIV infection. lymphocyte count is an indicator immune competence. In this study, we aimed to compare standard flow cytometry point-of-care (POC) in terms cost, effectiveness, reliability, time, use method for disease. Materials Methods: This study includes 113 patients. percentage were evaluated by POC. Also, hemoglobin (Hb) level was studied. The data obtained two methods compared. Results: When compared, intraclass...
Potent antivirals are used for the treatment of hepatitis B infection. A 38-year-old female patient whose hepatit virus (HBV) viral load was suppressed under tenofovir disoproxil fumarate but had a flare during in vitro fertilization (IVF) is presented. Although HBV DNA negative continuously controls, an increase observed IVF treatment. Hepatitis has been isolated from many extrahepatic tissues. Ovarian stimulation likely to replication. Therefore, it essential check periodically prevent...
Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has affected more than 31 million individuals and resulted in 965,000 deaths on September 21, 2020.As the number of cases increases, clinical conditions such as prolonged viral release, reinfection, reactivation are encountered frequently.This report presents case a patient who was reinfected with COVID-19 that had severe disease course unlike other previous reported literature.Possible reinfection Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2...
Introduction: COVID-19 has affected more than 676 million people so far, and 6.881.955people have died from the disease as of March 28, 2023.Understanding immunopathogenesis led to acceleration vaccine studies.Comirnaty CoronaVac vaccines are used in our country.The role serology tests interpretation protective sustained immunity remains controversial after vaccines.However, serological testing is part epidemiology essential understanding against SARS-CoV-2.This article can give an idea...
Objectives: Coronavirus disease-2019 has affected more than 16 million people around the worldwide so far.Simultaneously, it made follow-up of chronic diseases difficult.We examined course co-infection with COVID-19 and hepatitis B in this article to reveal vaccination status these patients.Materials Methods: Patients requiring oxygen therapy were classified as severe.Also, patients' demographic information was scanned using hospital data system.Results: A total 100 patients included.There...
Abstract Background : The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in more than 31 million cases diagnosed and 965,000 deaths as of September 21, 2020. As the number increases, clinical conditions such prolonged viral release, reinfection, reactivation are being encountered frequently. Case presentation This article presents a case who was reinfected with developed severe second disease unlike other literature. Conclusions Reinfection splenectomy may help researchers understand pathogenesis can be...
Objectives: Recently, with the use of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) for treating chronic hepatitis C (CHC), success rate has exceeded 90%.The implementation these strong therapies reduced role monitoring therapy virus (HCV)-RNA tests.The current study compares HCV-core antigen test (HCV-Ag) HCV-RNA in terms correlation, effectiveness and cost patients who started DAA to evaluate usability HCV-Ag as a routine laboratory test. Materials Methods:This includes 76 CHC.Patients positive HCV-RNA,...
GİRİŞ ve AMAÇ: Son zamanlarda, SARS-CoV-2'nin genetik varyantları dünya çapında giderek daha yaygın hale geliyor.RNA virüsleri, insanlar arasında yayılırken sürekli olarak genomik mutasyonlar biriktirir.Bu çalışmada, Kocaeli, Türkiye'deki COVID-19 hastaları SARS-CoV-2 varyantlarının vahşi tiplerin farklı sonuçlarla ilişkili olup olmadığını karşılaştırmayı amaçladık.YÖNTEM GEREÇLER: Kesin teşhisi konan 14 yaşından büyük hastalar dahil edildi.Nazofaringeal örnekler B.1.1.7,B.1.351ve P.1...
Today, antiretroviral therapies are successful in chronic HIV infection and have improved survival outcome.However drug resistance, coinfection, comorbidity management of interactions prominent long-term treatments.In this study, we aimed to present the treatment light high levels darunavir resistance a patient who is incompatible with therapies.HIV-1 analysis was frequently applied because our not compatible treatment.Minimally interacting agents therapy could be selected developing...
Abstract Background and Objectives : CD4 + T lymphocytes are the primary targets of HIV infection. Absolute lymphocyte count is an indicator immune competence in evaluating stage disease, delayed diagnosis, need for prophylaxis against opportunistic infections treatment success. In this study, we aimed to compare standard flow cytometry point care measurement analysis techniques terms cost, effectiveness, compliance, reliability, time use method disease progression HIV-1 infected Turkish...
The first case of pandemic was reported on March 11th 2020 in Turkey.0 METHODS: We attempted a retrospective analysis COVID-19 patients who were admitted at month Kocaeli University Hospital.Cases defined as by clinical, laboratory (RT-PCR) and imaging (CT) criteria.From 15th to April 20th, 80 cases hospitalized.Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), azithromycin (AZM) oseltamivir (OSM) are recommended for treatment.We aim share the results this early treatment strategy.RESULTS: Among patients; 14...
