ABSTRACT “The higher the volume of blood cultured yield cultures” has been a well-accepted dictum since J. A. Washington II performed his classic work. This rule not questioned in era highly automated culture machines, nor it correlated with clinical variables. Our objective this study was to complete prospective analysis relationship between volume, cultures, and severity conditions adult patients suspected bloodstream infections (BSI). During 6-month period, random samples cultures were...
The impact of how positive blood culture results are reported on the evolution bloodstream infections (BSIs) has not been assessed.We randomly assigned patients with BSIs into 3 groups: group A (for which physicians received a conventional report), B report and written alert chart clinical advice), C above plus oral advice). adequacy therapy before after receipt different types information was assessed.Overall, 297 episodes (109 in A, 99 B, 89 C) were studied. Patients who inadequate...
Nas últimas décadas a incidência da moléstia diverticular do cólon e de suas complicações tem aumentado. Durante esse período o número publicações respeito tema se expandiu, bem como as opções terapêuticas. Apesar disso, muitas dúvidas persistem decisões terapêuticas continuam relativamente imutáveis, baseadas vezes em dados antigos baixo poder estatístico. Nesta revisão apresentamos evidências científicas atuais acerca terapêutica desta complexa patologia.
The objective of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) in preventing hospital admission for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) people ≥65 yrs age. We conducted a matched case–control patients with CAP admitted five Spanish hospitals. Cases were persons aged through emergency department, who presented clinical and radiological pattern compatible pneumonia, assessed using established criteria. each case three control subjects by sex,...
Conflicting evidence has been reported on the impact of ertapenem use susceptibility Pseudomonas spp. to group 2 carbapenems. No extensive data for Acinetobacter baumannii are currently available.A retrospective time-series segmented regression analysis was conducted in a tertiary centre from January 2001 December 2011. Ertapenem introduced 2005. Antimicrobial drug defined as number daily doses/100 patient-days (DDDs/100 PDs). Susceptibility (CLSI) measured terms proportion and incidence...
Background: Bloodstream infections (BSI) are a major cause of mortality in burns patients. Knowledge the microbiology is crucial to direct empirical therapy. We sought determine causative microorganisms and antibiotic resistance patients with BSI.Methods: All consecutive BSI episodes tertiary hospital unit from 2000 2014 were included. The following three subperiods compared: 2000–2004, 2005–2009 2010–2014. Changes occurring during early late hospitalization periods evaluated.Results: A...
Infective endocarditis (IE) complicating hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a poorly known entity. Although current guidelines do not recommend IE antibiotic prophylaxis (IEAP) in HCM, controversy remains. This study sought to describe the clinical course of large series HCM and compare patients with without an indication for IEAP. Data from GAMES registry involving 27 Spanish hospitals were analyzed. From January 2008 December 2013, 2000 consecutive prospectively included registry. Eleven...
The use of endovascular catheters is a routine practice in secondary and tertiary care level hospitals. short-term peripheral has been found to be associated with the risk nosocomial bacteraemia, resulting morbidity mortality. Staphylococcus aureus mostly catheter insertion. This Consensus Document prepared by panel experts Spanish Society Cardiovascular Infections, cooperation from Internal Medicine, Chemotherapy, Thoracic-Cardiovascular Surgery, aims define establish guidelines for...
Enterococcus faecalis infective endocarditis (EFIE) is a severe disease of increasing incidence. The objective was to analyze whether the outcome patients with native valve EFIE (NVEFIE) treated short course ampicillin plus ceftriaxone (4wAC) similar according international guidelines (6wAC). Between January 2008 and June 2018, 1,978 consecutive definite IE were prospectively included in national registry. Outcomes NVEFIE 4wAC compared those who received 6wAC. Three hundred twenty-two...
Abstract From July 2003 through October 2004, 42 patients became infected by strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. (genotype 1) in different departments Juan Canalejo Hospital northwest Spain. During 2006, 6 inpatients, also the hospital, (genotypes 2–4). Parenteral nutrition was likely source.
Endocarditis in patients with ascending aortic prosthetic graft (AAPG) is a life-threatening complication. The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical presentation and prognosis AAPG endocarditis included large prospective infectious multicentre study. From January 2008 April 2015, 3200 consecutive according modified Duke criteria, were prospectively ‘Spanish Collaboration on Registry (GAMES)’ registry. Twenty-seven definite episodes (0.8%) occurred AAPG. During period, 27 cases...
