We compared manual and computer-assisted bloodstream infection surveillance for adult inpatients at two hospitals. We identified hospital-acquired, primary, central-venous catheter (CVC)-associated bloodstream infections by using five methods: retrospective, manual record review by investigators; prospective, manual review by infection control professionals; positive blood culture plus manual C...

متن کاملFailure to detect Brachyspira pilosicoli in bloodstream of Australian patients.
The isolation of intestinal spirochetes from the blood of a series of six French patients with a range of serious clinical problems was reported recently (3). These organisms and another from the blood of a patient with AIDS in the United States were subsequently identified as Brachyspira (Serpulina) pilosicoli (7). Intestinal carriage of B. pilosicoli occurs in Australia and is particularly co...
متن کاملNEONATAL BLOODSTREAM INfECTIONS ACQUIRED fROM
Catheter–related bloodstream infections (CR-BSIs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the NICU, occurring at rates ranging from 11.3 per 1,000 catheter days in infants <1,000 g to 4 per 1,000 catheter days in infants >2,500 g. Cost-effective and successful educational interventions aimed at nurses have been shown to decrease CR-BSIs with adults, but no such studies address neo...
