Nosocomial bloodstream infections (nBSIs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Data from a nationwide, concurrent surveillance study, Brazilian SCOPE (Surveillance Control Pathogens Epidemiological Importance), were used to examine the epidemiology microbiology nBSIs at 16 hospitals. In our study 2,563 patients with included 12 June 2007 31 March 2010. Ninety-five percent BSIs monomicrobial. Gram-negative organisms caused 58.5% these BSIs, Gram-positive 35.4%, fungi 6.1%. The...
Summary Objective To evaluate the frequency and clinical features of endemic other opportunistic infections in liver or kidney transplant recipients four centres different geographical areas Brazil. Methods Retrospective analysis medical laboratory records on recipients. Analyses were performed with spss statistical software. Results From 2001 to 2006, 1046 708 transplants registered all centres. The average age was 42 years. Among 82 (4.7%) cases infections, most frequent tuberculosis...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a global health crisis and may have affected healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention strategies. We evaluated the impact of COVID-19 on HAI incidence in Brazilian intensive care units (ICUs).In this ecological study, we compared adult patients admitted to ICU from April through June 2020 (pandemic period) with same period (prepandemic 21 hospitals. used Wilcoxon signed rank-sum test pairwise analysis compare following...
Nosocomial bloodstream infections (nBSIs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality the most frequent type nosocomial infection in pediatric patients.We identified predominant pathogens antimicrobial susceptibilities isolates patients (≤16 years age) Brazilian Prospective Surveillance for nBSIs at 16 hospitals from 12 June 2007 to 31 March 2010 (Br SCOPE project).In our study a total 2,563 cases nBSI were reported by participating Br project. Among these, 342 clinically significant...
Abstract Background Patients colonized with carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are at higher risk of developing CRE infection after liver transplantation (LT), associated high morbidity and mortality. Prediction model for LT among carriers could be useful to target preventive strategies. Methods Multinational multicenter cohort study consecutive adult patients underwent before or LT, from January 2010 December 2017. Risk factors were analyzed by univariate analysis Fine-Gray...
Abstract Background The incidence of bloodstream infection ( BSI ) varies according to the transplanted organ. Mortality can be as high 24%, with a significant impact on graft survival. Transplantation is risk factor for multidrug‐resistant MDR organisms, but comparison non‐transplanted population in single large cohort has not been described. Methods This prospective nationwide study (16 centers) reporting data 2364 monomicrobial nosocomial s, comparing 83 episodes solid organ transplant...
Background Severe Strongyloides stercoralis infection in kidney transplant recipients is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality, although little known about the risk factors for such infection. Methodology/Principal findings This was a retrospective, multicenter, case–control study which we assessed clinical outcomes of severe S. infections Brazil. We included 138 recipients: 46 cases 92 controls. Among cases, median number days from transplantation to diagnosis 117...
Resumo Introdução: A leishmaniose é uma possível preocupação para receptores de transplante órgãos sólidos (TOS), especialmente aqueles provenientes regiões endêmicas. Dentre os procedimentos TOS, o renal (TR) mais comum. Este estudo tem como objetivo sintetizar as evidências sobre visceral (LV) em candidatos e TR, com foco nos fatores risco desfechos associados. Metodos: Esta revisão integrativa analisou estudos dos últimos 20 anos, concentrando-se no perfil da doença, tratamento,...
Candidemia is associated with high morbidity and mortality resulting in significant increases the length of patients' hospitalization healthcare costs. Critically ill patients are at particular risk for candidemia because their debilitated condition frequent need invasive procedures. The aim this study was to characterize incidence epidemiology over a seven-year period intensive care units (ICUs) use fluconazole caspofungin large university-affiliated hospital. All cases were identified by...
The aim of this study was to characterize and evaluate the risk factors for mortality in hospitalized patients with tuberculous meningitis (TBM). This a retrospective TBM between 2016 2023 Ceará State, Brazil. Generalized linear regression performed identify predictive in-hospital mortality. British Medical Research Council Severity (BMRCS) grading system evaluated upon patient admission. Of 94 enrolled study, median age 39.6 years, 86.7% were men, 81.2% positive HIV admission, 33.0% had...
