OBJECTIVE To report the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium surveillance data from 40 hospitals (20 cities) in India 2004–2013. METHODS Surveillance using US National Healthcare Safety Network’s criteria and definitions, methodology. RESULTS We collected 236,700 ICU patients for 970,713 bed-days Pooled device-associated healthcare-associated infection rates adult pediatric ICUs were 5.1 central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs)/1,000 line–days, 9.4 cases of...
To identify urinary catheter (UC)-associated tract infection (CAUTI) incidence and risk factors.
Dengue fever is considered the most important arthropod-borne viral diseases in terms of morbidity and mortality. An accurate efficient diagnosis dengue plays an role case confirmation. The virus may be isolated during viremic phase (within day 5 illness), from serum, plasma peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Enzyme linked immunoassay (ELISA) has demonstrated presence high levels NS1 antigen tests performed by enzyme-immunoassays (EIAs) or immune-chromatographic (ICT) methods. These assays...
Background: Short-term peripheral venous catheter–associated bloodstream infection rates have not been systematically studied in Asian countries, and data on infections incidence by number of short-term catheter days are available. Methods: Prospective, surveillance study conducted from 1 September 2013 to 31 May 2019 262 intensive care units, members the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium, 78 hospitals 32 cities 8 countries South-East Asia Region: China, India, Malaysia,...
Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs), although not very common, currently pose a significant threat since they are associated with severe complications, high morbidity rates and substantial costs. PJIs most commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus coagulase-negative staphylococci. The diagnosis of implant-associated is challenging no single routinely used laboratory or clinical test has been shown to demonstrate adequate results respect sensitivity, specificity accuracy. In cases, sum signs...
Introduction The world is facing a unique crisis with regard to the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Clinical microbiology laboratories have critical role in effort combat antibiotic resistance. However, susceptibility testing (AST) practices are not uniform India because diversity guidelines available (Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute Manual [CLSI], EUCAST), variation institutional/individual preferences, differences training, expertise, infrastructure and technology...
