Abstract Background The core components (CCs) of infection prevention and control (IPC) from World Health Organization (WHO) are crucial for the safety quality health care. Our objective was to examine level implementation WHO (IPC CC) in a developing country. We also aimed evaluate care-associated infections (HAIs) antimicrobial resistance (AMR) intensive care units (ICUs) association with implemented IPC CCs. Methods Members Turkish Infectious Diseases Clinical Microbiology Specialization...
This prospective case-control study was conducted from October 2003 to June 2007 evaluate risk factors for multidrug resistance among extended-spectrum-b-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp. (ESBL-EK) isolates in blood cultures. All adult patients (>18 years old) whose cultures grew ESBL-EK during the period were included. An isolate defined as MDR if it resistant at least one member of following two classes antibiotics: aminoglycosides (amikacin, gentamicin, or...
Urinary tract infection is a serious problem in diabetic patients, and asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) these patients risk factor for pyelonephritis renal dysfunction. In the present study, we investigated relationships between age, body mass index, duration of diabetes, HbA1c level, glucosuria, glomerular filtration rate microalbuminuria type 2 with ASB. One hundred twenty-three diabetes mellitus were included study. The divided into two groups according to ASB; Group I consisted 22 ASB, II...
Oxidative stress can be defined as an increase in oxidants and/or a decrease antioxidant capacity. We aimed to determine total capacity (TAC), peroxide, malondialdehyde and catalase levels plasma samples, calculation of oxidative index (OSI) patients with brucellosis evaluate their status using novel automated method. Sixty-nine 69 healthy control subjects were included the present study. Plasma peroxide significantly increased compared controls (p<0.001 p<0.001, respectively). In contrast,...
In patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard method of treatment. Laparoscopic has a low rate postoperative infections probably owing to smaller wounds and minimal tissue damage compared open procedure.This study assessed effect cefazolin prophylaxis on infection in undergoing elective cholecystectomy. Additionally, we determined risk factors cases infection.A total 753 were enrolled study. Among these, 206 excluded from As result, 547...
Brucellosis is a systemic infection involving many organs and tissues. The musculoskeletal system one of the most commonly affected. disease can present with sacroiliitis, peripheral arthritis, spondylitis, paraspinal abscess, bursitis, osteomyelitis. A 25-year-old male patient was admitted fever 20-day duration, right-sided hip pain, night sweating. Brucella standard tube agglutination test positive at titer 1/160. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) joint showed right sacroiliitis...
Thrombocytopenia is generally seen as a complication in typhoid fever. However, it can also be encountered presenting sign on admission. A 29-year-old man with complaints of fever and diarrhoea was hospitalized because isolated thrombocytopenia routine complete blood count examination. The diagnosis established when Salmonella typhi from the cultures. platelet returned to normal level within first week ceftriaxone therapy. Possible mechanisms were discussed.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a recently recognised pandemic spreading rapidly from Wuhan, Hubei, to other provinces in China and many countries around the world. The number of COVID-19-related deaths steadily increasing. Acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) with high morbidity mortality rates, primary percutaneous coronary intervention usually recommended for treatment. A patient diabetes mellitus hypertension five years was admitted emergency unit symptoms...
The objective of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy ceftazidime (2 g every 8 h), piperacillin/tazobactam (4 g/500 mg 6 meropenem (1 when combined with amikacin (15 mg/kg once daily), in empirical treatment high-risk febrile neutropenic episodes patients haematological malignancy.A prospective, comparative designed haematology unit a university hospital Turkey.A total 89 60 were treated; 29 23 plus (group 1), 30 25 2), 3). 3 groups comparable terms age, sex, underlying...
Background: In the present study, it was aimed to identify microorganism and factors due patients which may cause false positive results in automated blood culture systems, evaluate parameters be used interpreting correctly. Materials methods: The study carried out between 2016-2017. Fully Bact/Alert 3D (BioMérieux, France) system as method. Blood cell counting evaluated by fluorescence flow cytometry When signal received from system, presence of first investigated using Gram staining. spite...
Aim: We aimed to investigate the alteration and distribution of seroprevalence hepatitis B C within years according age groups in patients who applied our hospital. Materials Methods: The have been evaluated for six retrospectively were admitted third step hospital Istanbul. duplicate results submitted more than one application same year excluded from this study. Male female divided into four as 0-14, 14-25, 25- 49 over old. Electrochemiluminescence method (Roche Cobas 6000, Germany) was...
