Abstract Traditional diagnosis of infectious gastroenteritis is based on culture, microscopy and antigen detection. The development gastrointestinal syndromic panels molecular techniques have allowed rapid simultaneous identification multiple pathogens. objective was to evaluate the implementation Allplex™ Gastrointestinal Panel Assays (AGPA): GI-Virus, GI-Bacteria (I) GI-Parasite by comparing with traditional diagnosis. A retrospective comparative study conducted at Hospital Universitario...
We present the case of a 75-year-old patient diagnosed with malaria, native Zaragoza, Spain, despite having no travel history to malaria-endemic regions. Following an extensive investigation, transfusion emerged as most probable mode transmission.
A 61-year-old woman was admitted due to an episode of hematemesis. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) performed and esophageal varices were described with signs recent bleeding, for which bands placed. After the procedure patient became unresponsive (Glasgow Coma Scale = 3/15) hypotensive (mean arterial pressure 40), thus required intubation ventilation in intensive care unit. Neurologic such as ocular bobbing noted. Cerebral computer tomography (CCT) revealed pneumocephalus ischemic...
BACKGROUND Amebiasis is a parasitic infection caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. Amebic brain abscesses are rare form of invasive amebiasis frequently lethal due to difficulty its diagnosis and inadequate treatment. Cerebral poses therapeutic challenge as evidenced scarcity papers reporting complete recovering after CASE REPORT We report case 39-year-old Spanish man, with history alcohol drug abuse. He had never traveled outside Europe, no reported oral-anal sexual contact,...
Objectives. Our observational, retrospective study aimed to determine the correlation between bacteria isolated from bronchial aspirates of pediatric ICU patients (PICU) with respiratory infections and those obtained conjunctival swabs same exhibiting clinical conjunctivitis. Material methods. Throughout period 2015 2022, we reviewed all clinically significant (≥105 CFU/mL) positive PICU patients. These records were retrieved microbiology database, cross-referencing data identify who tested...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>PURPOSE</bold>: Malaria keeps on being a serious global health threat, especially in many tropical countries, where it is endemic. Also non-endemic like Spain, malaria an issue that requires attention due to the presence of imported cases. <bold>METHODS</bold>: This retrospective study, including all patients diagnosed with at Severo Ochoa University Hospital from 2006 2022, classified according to: (I) their type stay endemic area as visiting friends and...
Abstract Aim/Introduction To assess the utility of 18F-FDG PET/CT in detecting infection aortic vascular prostheses. Identify morphometabolic characteristics that allow discerning between post-surgical inflammatory changes and infectious process. Correlate findings with clinical data. Materials Methods A retrospective descriptive study patients undergoing reconstruction valve thoracic artery prosthetic devices who presented suspicion underwent an examination for diagnostic purposes. Twelve...
Abstract Background Although most bloodstream yeast infections are caused by Candida spp., rare or less common species have increased in recent years. Diagnosis of these is difficult due to the lack specific symptoms and adequate diagnostic tools. Cases presentation We describe two cases fungemia Rhodotorula mucilaginosa within a few months each other, secondary Spanish hospital. In both cases, diagnosis was challenging. Blood subcultures conventional fungal media were persistently negatives...
The objective is determine if Accelerate Pheno® system able to provide accurate MICs with meropenem and ertapenem infer resistance mechanism in 19 isolates of carbapenemase-producing bacteria. With meropenem, EA CA was 84.2% ertapenem, 88.2% 64.7%, 10 detected.
The new automated systems designed for rapid performance of AST have significantly reduced the response time susceptibility testing microorganisms causing bacteremia and sepsis. Accelerate Pheno® system (AAC) is one such system. Our objective this study was to determine whether AAC capable providing an accurate profile infer resistance mechanisms in different carbapenemase-producing isolates when compared MicroScan WalkAway System (MWS). Disk diffusion method also performed on all as a...
