Emergence of Streptococcus pneumoniae with high-level resistance to cefotaxime in Hong Kong.
We report on two cases of pneumococcal infection caused by strains demonstrating high-level cefotaxime resistance (minimal inhibitory concentration, 4 µg/mL). One patient had acute community-acquired meningitis with bacteraemia and the other had bacteraemia probably as a result of nosocomial pneumonia. Both patients died despite treatment with third generation cephalosporins. This is the first ...
متن کاملBacteraemia and antibiotic-resistant pathogens in community acquired pneumonia: risk and prognosis.
The sensitivity of blood cultures in the diagnosis of bacteraemia for community-acquired pneumonia is low. Recommendations, by guidelines, to perform blood cultures are discordant. We aimed to determine the incidence, microbial aetiology, risk factors and outcomes of bacteraemic patients with community-acquired pneumonia, including cases with antibiotic-resistant pathogens (ARP). A prospective,...

OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the role of procalcitonin (PCT) to guide the initial selection of the antibiotic regimen for low-risk community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). METHODS A single-arm clinical trial was conducted including outpatients with CAP and Pneumonia Severity Index risk classes I-II. Antimicrobial selection was based on the results of PCT measured with a rapid point-of-care testing...
متن کاملHyperglycemia and Red Cell Distribution Width for Prediction of Mortality in Preschool Children with Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP)
Background Community acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a major infectious cause of mortality in preschool children especially in developing countries. Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW) has been associated with poor outcomes of CAP. We aimed to determine whether admission stress hyperglycemia and RDW can predict mortality in preschool children with CAP for early identification of patients at risk of ...
متن کاملSeverity assessment in community-acquired pneumonia.
In current guidelines for the management of adults with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), the triaging decision about hospitalization or intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and, as a consequence, selection of initial antimicrobial treatment is largely based on the assessment of pneumonia severity. The proposed severity criteria are mainly derived from studies determining predictors of advers...
