Role of multidrug-resistant pathogens in health-care-associated pneumonia.
We read with interest Santiago Ewig and colleagues’ article discussing the validity of a new classifi cation scheme for pneumonia, including for health-care-associated pneumonia (HCAP). The investigators reviewed the available evidence, including our 2009 study. They conclude that this study does not prove much more than that patients admitted to hospital within 180 days have a similar mortalit...
متن کاملVentilator-associated pneumonia in a tertiary care hospital in India: role of multi-drug resistant pathogens.
BACKGROUND Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent intensive-care-unit (ICU)-acquired infection. The aetiology of VAP varies with different patient populations and types of ICUs. METHODOLOGY A prospective study was performed over a period of 15 months in a tertiary care hospital to determine the various aetiological agents causing VAP and the prevalence of multidrug resista...
متن کاملIndividualizing Risk of Multidrug-Resistant Pathogens in Community-Onset Pneumonia
INTRODUCTION The diffusion of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria has created the need to identify risk factors for acquiring resistant pathogens in patients living in the community. OBJECTIVE To analyze clinical features of patients with community-onset pneumonia due to MDR pathogens, to evaluate performance of existing scoring tools and to develop a bedside risk score for an early identifica...
متن کاملEpidemiology and predictors of multidrug-resistant community-acquired and health care-associated pneumonia.
There are limited U.S. data describing the risk factors for multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) isolation in community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and health care-associated pneumonia (HCAP). However, concern for the presence of these pathogens drives the prescribing of empiric broad-spectrum antibiotics for CAP and HCAP. A retrospective study of all adults hospitalized with community-onset pneumo...
متن کاملMethicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in Toxicological Intensive Care Unit
Background: Methicillin resistant Staphylococus Aureus (MRSA) is a cause of nosocomial infections at intensive care unit (ICU), which imposes a high mortality and morbidity on the health care systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of MRSA in patients with clinically suspected ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in toxicological ICU admitted patients.Methods: This ...
