The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness different irrigation solutions at time intervals for elimination E. faecalis and C. albicans penetrated into dentine tubules primary permanent teeth in vitro. 4 mm sections were sterilized contaminated with a mixture strains. After application (Sodium hypochlorite, Chlorhexidine gluconate, Octenidine Dihydrochloride, saline) tooth according groups, neutralizers applied inactivation after 30 sec, 1 min 5 min. Dentine shavings placed TSB...
Introduction: People living with HIV (PLWH) are highly susceptible to respiratory infections, particularly pneumonia, which is often polymicrobial. A rapid decline in CD4 T lymphocytes, especially concurrent influenza, increases the risk of Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP). Case Presentation: This report discusses a newly diagnosed Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patient influenza and PCP coinfection, highlighting diagnosis, follow‐up, prognosis. Conclusions:...
One-third of the world's population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Investigation Toll-like receptors (TLRs) has revealed new information regarding immunopathogenesis this disease. can recognize various ligands a lipoprotein structure in bacilli. receptor 2 and TLR-4 have been identified association tuberculosis infection.The aim our study was to investigate relationship between TLR polymorphism infection progress.Twenty-nine patients radiologically, microbiologically,...
The prognostic value of blood culture testing in the diagnosis bacteremia is limited by contamination.In this multicenter study, aim was to evaluate contamination rates cultures as well parameters that affect results.Sample collection practices and data obtained from 16 university/research hospitals were retrospectively evaluated. A total 214,340 samples 43,254 patients admitted centers 2013 included study. results evaluated based on three phases laboratory testing: pre-analytic, analytic,...
Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen, related with nosocomial infections such as bacteremia, urinary tract infections, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Multidrug resistant (MDR) A. strains are first line causes of infection, especially in patients hospitalized at intensive care units (ICUs). Infection MDR has a longer duration ICUs hospitals. There studies using molecular methods which can differentiate the clonal level. This helps controlling these prevents their...
Achromobacter xylosoxidans causes infections in patients with underlying disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate cases. Eight were included, 5 and 3 colonizations. Three them survived 2 died. predisposing factor catheter. Infection control measures could prevent infection.
Candida infections have increased due to transplant patients, prolonged ICU stay and invasive procedures. The most common isolated strain is C. albicans. aim of this study was evaluate the distribution isolates at Tepecik Education Research Hospital.Yeast like fungi were between 13.01.2010 19.08.2011 Mycology Laboratory. identification done by conventional methods carbohydrate assimilation profile using ID32C system (Biomerieux, France).Yeast from 337 clinical specimens. They consisted...
Interferon alpha is a molecule frequently used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, C, and D, with immunomodulatory antiviral activity. It also some cancer types. has been widely claimed that interferon triggers autoimmunity, its broad adverse effect profile. Here we present case 29-year-old male patient B diagnosis who developed type 1 diabetes mellitus autoimmune thyroiditis during alfa-2b. Within four months initiation alfa-2b, presented to our clinic dry mouth, urinary frequency (8...
Amaç: Ortalama yaşam süresinin artmasıyla birlikte invazif girişim ve immünsupresif tedavi gibi nedenler enfeksiyon riskini artırmıştır.Enfeksiyon hastalıklarının etkin tedavisinde kültür sonuçlarının önemi büyüktür
Hepatitis delta virus (HDV) is an incomplete dependent on hepatitis B (HBV) for its multiplication. It can infect individuals with active HBV infection and cause severe liver disease. less prevalent than virus, but it causes more serious clinical pictures. In this study we investigated anti-HDV seroprevalance epidemiological features among HBsAg seropositive outclinic patients at Izmir Tepecik Educational Research Hospital.Serum samples collected from outpatients Hospital between 1 September...
Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important nosocomial pathogen that can lead to high morbidity and mortality. ESBL carbapenamase producing strains may cause epidemic situations. The aim of our study was investigate the molecular epidemiology clonal relationship between carbapenem resistant K. isolated from hospital during a three month period. Fourteen April 1st–June 30th 2013 were included. identification antibiotic susceptibility studied by Vitek 2 Compact (Biomerieux, France) system....
Roseomonas is a pink-pigmented, nonfermentative, oxidative, Gram-negative coccobacilli that has clinical importance as opportunistic pathogen which can lead to infections especially in immunosuppressed individuals. It relatively less reported many centers. These microorganisms are detected after several days growth culture environment, and typical pink, mucoid colonies detected. We case of cranioplasty infection took place patient with cranial abscess formation due gilardii at Izmir...
Introduction: Mucormycosis is an acute onset, invasive, fungal infection, characterized by organ involvement, and caused Mucor, Rhizopus, or Absidia. Our aim was to present a case of mucormycotic infection emphasize its importance in diabetic immunosuppressed patient with myeloid leukemia (AML). Case presentation: A 68-year-old hypertensive male diagnosis AML developed respiratory failure exhibited diffuse bilateral consolidation high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). The treatment plan...
The increased life span has led to application of more invasive procedures for diagnosis and treatment particularly immunosuppressed individuals. This situation drew attention fungal infections due existence yeast-like fungi. Candida have transplant in patients, prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays, procedures. Recently, identification fungi as well antifungal susceptibility test been gaining importance.In our study, we aimed evaluate the distribution strains isolated from blood, urine,...
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an opportunistic pathogen found predominantly in the environment and hospital setting. Invasive procedures treatment methods, instruments used for diagnosis irrational antibiotic use play major roles spread of this pathogen. The study aimed to evaluate consecutive S isolation from bronchoalveolar lavage samples during bronchoscopy procedure a week.Four patients consecutively had isolated between September 8 15, 2012. identification isolates their...
Objectives: Vancomycin resistance is due to change in ligase enzyme that destroys the binding of drug. The gold standard culture; but now molecular methods have also been developed. aim was detect VRE rate at ICUs by culture and BD GeneOhm™ VanR compare results both assays.Methodology: 135 perianal swabs were taken from patients between January 1st 2009 April 30th 2009. Samples identified conventional GeneOhm assay.Results: In newborn ICU, 41 (74.6%) negative methods. Two (3.6%) positive...
HCV virus infections are one of the major health problems in world that can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer at a higher rate than other hepatitis data.
