Patients with cancer have a higher risk of severe bacterial infections. This study aims to determine the frequency, susceptibility profiles, and resistance genes species involved in bacteremia, as well factors associated mortality patients Colombia. In this prospective multicenter cohort adult testing was performed selected were identified. A multivariate regression analysis carried out for identification mortality. 195 patients, 206 microorganisms isolated. Gram-negative bacteria more...
Abstract Background Cefazolin is an alternative for the treatment of MSSA infections and first choice option surgical prophylaxis. The cefazolin inoculum effect (CzIE), increase in MIC at high bacterial inocula associated to therapeutic failures increased mortality deep-seated infections. prevalence CzIE among nasal colonizing from ICU patients currently unknown. aim this study was investigate recovered admitted ICUs Colombia. Methods We evaluated 33 isolates swabs 29 6 high-complexity...
Las infecciones de piel y tejidos blandos (IPTB) representan la tercera causa consulta por enfermedad infecciosas a los servicios médicos, después las respiratorias urinarias. Se presenta una guía práctica clínica (GPC) con 38 recomendaciones basadas en evidencia, graduadas bajo el sistema SIGN, para diagnóstico tratamiento pacientes adultos IPTB contexto colombiano, posterior un proceso adaptación GPC publicadas búsqueda sistemática síntesis literatura actualización evidencia científica....
La pandemia por el virus SARS-CoV-2 y la enfermedad generada (COVID-19, del inglés Coronavirus 2019 Disease), llevó a nivel mundial cambios significativos en forma de prestar los servicios salud, incluida actividad quirúrgica. Como parte esta realidad, se recomendó Colombia adopción disposiciones enfocadas preparar nuestro sistema salud para enfrentar una avalancha pacientes COVID-19, que esperaba fuera similar presentada otros países. Las medidas tomaron momento oportuno, ganando tiempo...
ABSTRACT The cefazolin inoculum effect (CzIE) has been associated with poor clinical outcomes in patients methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) infections. We aimed to investigate the point prevalence of CzIE among nasal colonizing MSSA isolates from ICU a multicenter study Colombia (2019–2023). Patients underwent swabs assess for S. colonization on admission ICU, and some individuals had follow-up swabs. performed MIC by broth microdilution using standard high developed...
La infección de vías urinarias complicada es la que ocurre en alguna las estructuras del tracto urinario, pacientes con comorbilidad, o anomalías estructurales funcionales urinario. tiene un alto impacto morbilidad, mortalidad y problemática actual resistencia a los antimicrobianos, por lo resulta importancia generar directrices permitan orientar el adecuado diagnóstico tratamiento este grupo pacientes, objetivo obtener mejores desenlaces clínicos propender uso racional antibióticos....

A través metodología ADAPTE para evaluación calidad transculturización a...
Intra-abdominal infections are frequent at all levels of health care, therefore, it is necessary to maintain a high level clinical suspicion, performing the fastest and most cost-effective measures confirm diagnosis offer precise targeted multidisciplinary therapy, this being only way have an impact on morbidity infection, reducing mortality minimizing complications costs care. linked appearance selection resistant mutants in both bacteria fungi, becoming currently major public problem....
El género Aspergillus es ubicuo en la naturaleza y de distribución universal. Por esta razón, el contacto con este hongo incluye hospederos inmunocompetentes e inmunosuprimidos. La vía aérea forma más frecuente adquirir sus manifestaciones clínicas localización topográfica se relacionan interacción del capacidad inmunológica hospedero. principal manifestación clínica a nivel respiratorio, un impacto muy importante mortalidad morbilidad, especialmente paciente inmunosuprimido. Los pacientes...
For a long time, the diagnostic approach to IA/Aspergillus disease has been challenge. The definitive diagnosis is made by correct microbiological and/or histopathological documentation, undoubtedly fundamental cornerstone for therapeutic decision-making. However, it considered limited lack of sensitivity and speed, often being counterproductive, as in many cases invasive procedures are needed (e.g., fibrobronchoscopy [FBC] or tissue biopsy), which delays treatment undermines survival...
La estrongiloidiasis es una enfermedad causada por el nematodo Strongyloides stercoralis, endémico en las regiones rurales de los países tropicales y subtropicales. Los pacientes inmunosuprimidos tienen un mayor riesgo infección con este parásito pueden terminar desarrollando síndrome hiperinfección que conlleva alto muerte. En tratamiento se utiliza la ivermectina, pero, ni Colombia mundo, existe presentación parenteral del medicamento para uso humanos, lo cual problema aquellos puedan...

Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) infections have increased in recent years. Colombia has become an endemic country for this group of microorganisms, and the they cause a serious impact terms morbidity mortality. The early identification CPE carriers who are admitted to health care centers as patients is necessary implement adequate isolation infection control measures limit spread type microorganisms hospitals. Furthermore, treating these challenging task due limited...
