Abstract

BACKGROUND:We measured frequency and epidemiologic, clinical, and hematochemical variables associated with respiratory tract infections (RTIs) in foreign-born and national patients hospitalized with fever with a history of international travel, and compared the final diagnosis of RTI with the presence of a respiratory syndrome (RS) at presentation. METHODS:A prospective, multicenter, observational study was conducted at tertiary care hospitals in Northern Italy from September 1998 to December 2000. RESULTS:A final diagnosis of RTI was obtained in 40 cases (7.8%), 27 (67.5%) with lower RTI and 13 (32.5%) with upper RTI. The most common RTIs were pneumonia (35%) and pulmonary tuberculosis (15%). A white blood cell count > or = 10,000 and an erythrocyte sedimentation rate > or = 20 mm/h were independently associated with a final diagnosis of RTI; onset of symptoms at > or = 16 days and > or = 75% neutrophils were independently associated with lower RTI. An RS was identified in 51 (9.9%) of 515 travelers. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of a diagnosis of RS for a final diagnosis of RTI were 67.5%, 94.9%, 52.9%, and 97.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:Pneumonia and pulmonary tuberculosis were frequent among foreign-born and national travelers with fever admitted to a tertiary care hospital. Half of the pneumonia cases did not present with an RS at first clinical examination.

Abstract

Background: Community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality for cirrhotic and HIV-infected patients, respectively. However, little is known on CABP in HIV-positive patients with cirrhosis. A study was performed to describev the clinical features and factors predictive of mortality and prolonged hospitalization in cirrhotic HIV-infected patients with a diagnosis of CABP. Methods: Demographic and clinical characteristics of cirrhotic HIV-positive subjects, hospitalized for CABP in our department from June 2000 to December 2006, were compared with those of non-cirrhotic HIV-infected patients with the same diagnosis hospitalized from June 2000 to November 2001. Variables with p < 0.10 in univariate analysis were tested for their predictive value for mortality and length of hospitalization with uni- and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results: Twenty-nine cirrhotic and 73 non-cirrhotic HIV-positive patients with CABP were compared. Age and alcohol abusewere significantly higher in cirrhotics. At hospital admission, cirrhotic patients had more frequently mental status alterations (7.26 [2.21-23.82], p = 0.001) and milder symptoms and signs (temperature > 37.5 C: 0.27 [0.10-0.75], p = 0.01; respiratory rate > 20: 0.34 [0.13-0.92], p = 0.033; systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS): 0.39 [0.16-0.95], p = 0.038). Adjusting for age, cirrhosis was associated with a higher mortality (5.96 [1.05-33.57]; p = 0.043). Adjusting for age, gender, and concomitant antiretroviral treatment, cirrhosis was also associated with a prolonged hospitalization (> 7 days: 9.30 1.84-46.82]; p = 0.007). Conclusions: The diagnosis of CABP can be difficult in cirrhotic HIV-positive patients because clinical presentation is milder. However, CABP needs to be promptly recognized because mortality is higher in these patients. © 2008 Springer.
