Abstract

Klebsiella pneumoniae infections show particular features depending on the geographical localization as well as comorbidity factors. We are presenting the case of a european patient with diabetes mellitus who presented a septicaemia, a meningitis as well as an hepatic abscess due to a K. pneumoniae and whose evolution was excellent under antibiotics. Usually described among Asian patients, the primary hepatic K. pneumoniae abscess, which is a clinical entity recently described, can give rise to potentially serious and multiple septic metastasis. We also discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic attitudes related to this infection.

2. [The quest of quality in the field of infectious disease at the hospital].

Author

Legrand JC

Subjects
Anti-Bacterial Agents therapeutic use, Humans, Practice Guidelines as Topic, Quality of Health Care, Cross Infection prevention & control, Hospitalization, Infections therapy
Abstract

The implementation of a quality program in the field of the infectious diseases requires the prior definition of criteria (efficacy, low toxicity, low cost, less emergence of resistant strains) but also the target (the patient it-self, his or her community, the health system as a whole). A lot of tools are questioned: antimicrobial policy (escalation/streamlining, restricted formularies, antibiotics rotation), guidelines, relational tools (booklets and CME, prescription's formularies, computer's help and the Web) but also the role of an infectious diseases specialist and an antimicrobial management team. Finally, we outline some processes of evaluation.

Abstract

Being faced with the risks of emergence and spread of antibiotic multiresistant bacterial strains in the hospital, it is a joint responsibility of all medical specialities and hospital management to promote the protection of the microbial ecology. Strategies to optimize antimicrobial use and practical approaches are discussed here. The need of mobilization of the entire hospital community and implementation of infectious diseases consultants is emphasized, as recommended by the "Groupement pour le Dépistage, l'Etude et la Prévention des Infections Hospitalières" (GDEPIH).
