Background: For the last 14 years Pan American Health Organization has been promoting surveillance of invasive pneumococcal disease in Latin children for better understanding tendencies regarding capsular types circulation each country and susceptibility to antimicrobials. Methods: Laboratory-based data from 10 countries collected 2000 2005 were analyzed, including serotype distribution beta-lactam antibiotics. Results: Although 61 different identified during 6-year surveillance, 13...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a cause of invasive diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, and other serious infections among children adults in Paraguay. This study was conducted to establish S . baseline prevalence, serotype distribution, antibiotic resistance patterns healthy aged 2 59 months ≥60 years age prior the introduction PCV10 national childhood immunization program Between April July 2012, total 1444 nasopharyngeal swabs were collected, 718 from 726 age. The pneumococcal isolation,...
To examine the development of resistance to erythromycin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ), and vancomycin invasive isolates Streptococcus pneumoniae obtained from children in 10 Latin American/Caribbean countries during six years surveillance.Analysis 8 993 S. recovered 2000-2005 with infections, who were less than 6 age, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay, or Venezuela. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined...
Introduction. Colonization by Neisseria meningitidis is the pre-requisite for development of disease. We present findings a cross-sectional investigation onto oropharyngeal carriage N. and species in population aged 3 to 21 Paraguay. Aim. Carriage prevalence age groups, risk factors associated with carriage, phenotypic genotypic characteristics strains are described. Methodology. collected 2011 swabs from consenting participants 3–21 years. Infants were recruited at immunization clinics,...
Early diagnosis, an effective treatment and prompt recognition of complications are essential to improve the prognosis infective endocarditis (IE).To report results a multidisciplinary approach diagnosis management patients with IE at Universidad Católica de Chile Hospital.The clinical history, outcome 261 episodes (Duke criteria) admitted between January 1980 1999 were analyzed. These included 185 native, 73 prosthetic valve 3 nonvalvular IE.Sixty nine percent men mean age was 49 +/- 16...
OBJECTIVE: To determine genetic relatedness of clone Colombia5 ST289 with invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae serotype 5 isolates recovered in nine Latin American countries. METHODS: Forty-four S. from children under years age Bolivia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Venezuela were studied. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns DNA treated SmaI restriction enzyme classified using Tenover's criteria analyzed the Fingerprinting II program to their...
Describe the phenotypical and genotypical characteristics of Neisseria meningitidis isolates from cases meningococcal disease in Paraguay between 1996 2015.Conventional microbiological methods molecular techniques were used to study 114 N. 12 clinical samples without isolation (confirmed by polymerase chain reaction), provided various sentinel centers collaborating Paraguay.The most affected age group was children under 1 year (19.0%), followed 1-5-year-olds (17.5%). The highest percentage...
Streptococcus pneumoniae sigue siendo una de las causas más importantes morbilidad y mortalidad en niños adultos alrededor del mundo. El objetivo estudio fue describir la frecuencia aislamiento S. enfermedad invasiva, distribución serotipos sensibilidad antimicrobiana Paraguay (2010-2018). Se estudiaron 793 cepas aisladas pacientes todas edades con invasiva Paraguay, provenientes los diferentes centros centinelas colaboradores el marco vigilancia meningitis neumonÃas, durante periodo...
To describe the impact of new intervention model implemented by Paraguay across five districts Central Region in last quarter 2023, consisting an integrated health services-based strategy to recover coverage with tracer vaccine (pentavalent until April hexavalent thereafter) children under 1 year age; and measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) for 1-year-old population.
Introducción: La enfermedad meningocóccica ha sido y sigue siendo una causa importante de morbilidad mortalidad.
Se describe la frecuencia de aislamientos S. pneumoniae causante enfermedad neumocócica invasiva (ENI) en adultos, distribución los serotipos y su sensibilidad antimicrobiana Paraguay durante el periodo 2013-2018.Se trata un estudio descriptivo observacional retrospectivo corte transversal que se estudiaron total 269 cepas aisladas líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR) (76/269), pleural (174/269) hemocultivo 19/269), provenientes diferentes centros centinelas colaboradores vigilancia meningitis...
Introducción. El serotipo 14 de Streptococcus pneumoniae es una causa importante enfermedades neumocócicas invasivas en todo el mundo. A menudo presenta resistencia a variedad agentes antimicrobianos, lo que genera dificultades tratamiento. Se dispone datos limitados sobre la población pediátrica Paraguay, por monitoreo los serotipos y antimicrobianos causan enfermedad neumocócica. Objetivo: Evaluar las relaciones clonales aislamientos S. invasivo recuperados niños menores cinco años asociar...
