Emerging Pathogens in Neonatal Bacterial Meningitis
The incidence of neonatal meningitis is difficult to accurately determine because of testing limitations. The incidence of bacterial meningitis is approximately 0.3 per 1000 live births in industrialized countries (Davies & Rudd, 1994). A recent study of neonatal infections in Asia (collecting data from China, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Kuwait, and Thailand), reported estimated incidence of neonat...
متن کاملmolecular detection of common bacterial pathogens causing meningitis
background: the clinical diagnosis of meningitis is crucial, particularly in children. the early diagnosis and empiric antibiotic treatments have led to a reduction in morbidity and mortality rates. pcr and the enzymatic digestion of 16srdna fragment which is produced by universal primers led up fast and sensitive determination. the purpose of this study was to investigate a rapid method fo...
متن کاملNew approaches to overcoming the limitations of clinical assays in rapid ultrasensitive identification of bacterial pathogens
The increased incidence of emerging and re-emerging bacterial diseases, spread of antibiotic resistance and other virulence factors by horizontal gene transfer, threat of bioterrorism and the risk of food-borne infections transmitted worldwide by global logistics all challenge the applicability of classic diagnostic tools and call for new and improved strategies of pathogen detection. There is ...

متن کامل[Bacterial meningitis with extraordinarily high ADA due to Streptococcus pneumoniae].
Aunque el diagnóstico microbiológico de la meningitis resulta primordial, en la mayor parte de las ocasiones se administra de forma inicial un tratamiento empı́rico basado en los microorganismos más probables según el análisis bioquı́mico del lı́quido cefalorraquı́deo (LCR). Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 12 años, que ingresó en la UCI por alteración del nivel de conciencia. Era natural de ...
