microbial and antibiotic susceptibility profiles among pleural effusion exudative samples

چکیده
background and objectives:infection of pleural fluid is a common disease and because of antibiotic administration, the microbiology of this fluid has changed. the aim of this study was to determine the common bacteria and suitable antibiotics for treatment in pleural effusion (pe). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 1210 samples with exudative features were cultured for possible growth of microbial pathogens and then examined for antibiotics sensitivity. samples’ characteristics were then analyzed according to the age and sex difference. results: among 1210 exudative pleural effusions, 38.2% were obtained from females and 61.8% from males. of 142 pleural fluid samples, 11.7% had a positive culture. aerobic gram negative organism was the most common type among the other samples with a prevalence of 52% followed by aerobic gram positive (25.3%), non- aerobic gram negative (15.7%), non- aerobic gram positive (6.2%) and fungi (0.8%). e. coli, staphylococcus aureus and acinetobacter baumannii were the most common types of organism among adult population. conclusion:aerobic gram positive bacteria had the highest prevalence among the pathogens, and cephalosporins, aminopenicillins and β-lactams were the most effective antibiotics for their treatment.

متن کاملExudative Pleural Effusion: Approach to Management
The normal pleural space contains approximately 1 ml of fluid. Pleural fluid is filtered in the parietal pleural compartment from the systemic capillaries down a small pressure gradient into the pleural space. Pleural fluid secretion is greatest at the apex while absorption is maximum towards the diaphragm and mediastinum, where the parietal lymphatics are concentrated. The fluid is drained out...
متن کاملTh1 and Th2 Cytokine Profiles in Malignant Pleural Effusion
Background: The alteration of Th1 and Th2 cytokine levels is the subject of controversy in pleural effusions caused by malignancy, a situation that favors a Th2 immune response. Objective: To examine the different levels of IL-4 and IL-10 (Th2 cytokines), and IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (Th1 cytokines) in malignant and non-malignant pleural effusions. Method: The cytokine levels in pleural fl...
متن کاملDiagnostic yield of closed pleural biopsy in exudative pleural effusion.
OBJECTIVE Closed pleural biopsy is known to be diagnostic in approximately 75% of pleural effusion undiagnosed by thoracocentesis or pleural fluid evaluation. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of closed pleural biopsy in a Saudi tertiary care teaching hospital. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the diagnostic utility of all closed pleural biopsies performed from Januar...
