BACKGROUND Meticulous care of intravenous catheters could be expected to minimize associated nosocomial bloodstream infections, but care is often suboptimal. METHODS To examine the ostensible benefits of a professional, dedicated intravenous therapy team, we compared the secular trends in nosocomial bloodstream infections before and after such a team was established. RESULTS After the intro...
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infection is a common cause of hospitalization, morbidity and death in children. The impact of antimicrobial resistance and HIV infection on outcome is not firmly established. METHODS We assessed the incidence of bloodstream infection and risk factors for fatal outcome in a prospective cohort study of 1828 consecutive admissions of children aged zero to seven years with...
Nosocomial oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA) bloodstream isolates were tested to determine the prevalence of vancomycin heteroresistance. We screened 619 ORSA nosocomial bloodstream isolates from 36 hospitals between 1997 and 2000. Only one isolate exhibiting heterotypic resistance was detected. Thus, vancomycin heteroresistance in clinical bloodstream isolates remains rare in th...
OBJECTIVE To determine whether an education initiative could decrease the rate of catheter-associated bloodstream infection. DESIGN Preintervention and postintervention observational study. SETTING The 19-bed medical ICU in a 1,400-bed university-affiliated urban teaching hospital. PATIENTS Between January 2000 and December 2003, all patients admitted to the medical ICU were surveyed pros...
BACKGROUND Polymicrobial infections in adults and children are associated with increase in mortality, duration of intensive care and healthcare costs. Very few studies have characterized polymicrobial bloodstream infections in the neonatal unit. Considerable variation has been reported in incidence of polymicrobial infections and associated clinical outcomes. We characterized the risk factors a...
Natural killer cells hunt rogue cancer in the bloodstream aided by increased fluid shear stress.
To the Editor—I want to congratulate Bouza et al. [1] for their effort to solve part of the puzzle regarding the diagnosis of catheter-related bloodstream infection without catheter removal in critically ill patients [1]. I would like to make 2 comments to place the results in a broader perspective. The authors excluded arterial and Swan-Ganz catheters from the analysis, notwithstanding the fac...
