Background/Aim: In recent years, the consumption of broad-spectrum antibiotics used in hospitals and number multidrug-resistant pathogens are increasing. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could also affect treatment hospital-acquired infections cause a difference antibiotic resistance rate. There is no study on whether there was change this trend during COVID-19 Turkey. Our conducted to determine consumption, distribution bacterial agents culture samples changes their...
Sepsis is a severe clinical syndrome owing to its high mortality. Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score has been proposed for the prediction of fatal outcomes in sepsis emergency departments. Due low predictive performance qSOFA score, we propose modification by adding age. We conducted multicenter, retrospective cohort study among regional referral centers from various regions country. Participants recruited data patients admitted departments and obtained diagnosis...
Purpose. Acute scrotal pain as the first symptom of brucellosis is rarely observed. We aimed to evaluate data male patients with and epididymoorchitis initial diagnosis. Material Methods. The seven presented testicular pain, hyperemia, swelling, increased fever were reviewed. Concomitant focal diseases well clinical, laboratory, radiological findings retrospectively evaluated. Results. mean age was 22.28 ± 7.78 (16-35) years. All sweating. Additional included fever, asthenia, arthralgia,...

Patients' gender, occupation, educational status, income risk factors (immunosuppressed over 65 years old) compared...
The liver biopsy is the gold standard for determining level of fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B infection (CHBI). Nonetheless, it possible to predict through some noninvasive methods such as scoring (NIS) serum biomarkers obtained from routine blood tests. We aimed evaluate diagnostic accuracy nine NIS detecting advanced CHBI.We reviewed hospital records CHBI cases with between January 2011 and December 2016 retrospectively. Using Ishak method, we classified stage 1-2 mild 3-6 fibrosis....
Medicinal leech application is a common traditional therapy used for various disorders in many cultures thousands of years. Although it usually safe method, serious side effects can also be seen. As rare effect this cutaneous pseudolymphoma reactive skin disease caused by foreign antigens, infectious processes and arthropod bites. Idiopathic cases sometimes In article, we present case an elderly woman with multiple nodules over her lumbar region emerging after application.
Carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacteremia (CR-GNB) is seen with increasing frequency and result in high mortality. The aim of this study was to compare the risk factors results carbapenem-resistant carbapenem-susceptible determine related mortality.The conducted as a retrospective observational comparative case series between June 2016 November 2017 Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training Research Hospital. patients were divided into two groups according antibiotic susceptibility data blood...
It has been shown in previous studies that inadequate empirical treatment is associated with mortality a variety of infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, the clinical effect discordance was investigated patients urinary tract infection (UTI) accompanied bacteremia.We retrospectively reviewed files adult (>18 years old) who were diagnosed UTI our clinic between January 2014 and December 2015. Cases which same causative microorganism grew both blood urine cultures...
In this case, catheter-related bacteremia due to Globicatella sanguinis in a 43 years old female patient undergoing hemodialysis with the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy was presented and methods laboratory rare opportunistic pathogen, cins, were nvestigated. A set peripheral blood cultures simultaneous catheter culture obtained from third May 2016. Biochemical tests, Phoenix (Becton Dickinson, USA) MicroScan (Beckman Coulter, automated systems matrix assisted laser...
Introduction:In this study, we aimed to determine the risk factors associated with inadequate empirical antibiotherapy (IEAT) and hospital-related mortality in elderly patients being treated for upper urinary tract infections (UTI).Materials Methods: This study included individuals aged 65 years over who were hospitalized after diagnosed of communityacquired UTI or community-onset healthcare-associated followed-up clinics and/or intensive care units (ICU) 33 hospitals between March September...

As a result the developments in HIV treatment recent years, life expectancy HIV-infected patients has increased. Therefore, HIV-related musculoskeletal problems such as osteoporosis avascular necrosis more common currently. There complex mechanisms osteoporosis. The loss bone mineral density is particularly distinctive first months therapy. In this report, we present...
Pneumonia that develops 48 hours after intubation has been defined as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in patients hospitalized the intensive care unit (ICU). Late-onset VAP (LO-VAP) is described occurs within or 5th day of mechanical ventilation.
