Abstract

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), characterized by the triad of micro-angiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal insufficiency, is a common cause of acute renal failure in children. It usually follows an episode of gastroenteritis with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli and is termed typical HUS. However, HUS is also a complication of invasive pneumococcal infection. Reasons for not diagnosing this condition include the absence of a specific laboratory test, the lack of consistent case definitions, unfamiliarity, a misdiagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and cases with micro-angiopathic hemolytic anemia and only mild renal injury. The aim of our study is to describe the epidemiology, the treatment and the evolution of HUS after invasive pneumococcal infections in Tunisia. Cases were identified between 2008 and 2016. Infection with S. pneumoniae was confirmed with culture of cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, or blood. Eight children fulfilled our criteria for inclusion in the study. Primary patterns were fever, respiratory signs, neurological signs and uncommon patterns. Pneumonia was a presenting feature in 6 of 8 cases (75%), two patients had confirmed pneumococcal meningitis. Pneumococcal invasive infection was confirmed by positive yield for S. pneumoniae by culture in pleural levy or drainage in two cases, cerebrospinal fluid in two cases and blood in four cases. The mean duration of hospitalization was 23.5 days. Antibiotic therapy was initiated in all patients. Six patients from eight required dialysis for a median 27.8 days. No patients received plasma exchange therapy. Two patients died and. One patient with pneumococcal pneumatocele and presented a sepsis complicated with a nosocomial infection following a prolonged stay in the intensive care unit. One patient had bronchiectasis leading to recurrent broncho-pulmonary infections. One patient who was dialysis dependent at discharge died 4 months later.

Abstract

Objectives: We report the results of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium prospective surveillance study from January 2004 to December 2009 in 33 pediatric intensive care units of 16 countries and the impact of being in a private vs. public hospital and the income country level on device-associated health care-associated infection rates. Additionally, we aim to compare these findings with the results of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network annual report to show the differences between developed and developing countries regarding device-associated health care-associated infection rates. Patients: A prospective cohort, active device-associated health care-associated infection surveillance study was conducted on 23,700 patients in International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium pediatric intensive care units. Methods: The protocol and methodology implemented were developed by International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium. Data collection was performed in the participating intensive care units. Data uploading and analyses were conducted at International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium headquarters on proprietary software. Device-associated health care-associated infection rates were recorded by applying Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Healthcare Safety Network device-associated infection definitions, and the impact of being in a private vs. public hospital and the income country level on device-associated infection risk was evaluated. Interventions: None. Measurements and Main Results: Central line-associated bloodstream infection rates were similar in private, public, or academic hospitals (7.3 vs. 8.4 central line-associated bloodstream infection per 1,000 catheter-days [p < .35 vs. 8.2; p < .42]). Central line-associated bloodstream infection rates in lower middle-income countries were higher than low-income countries or upper middle-income countries (12.2 vs. 5.5 central line-associated bloodstream infections per 1,000 catheter-days [p < .02 vs. 7.0; p < .001]). Catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates were similar in academic, public and private hospitals: (4.2 vs. 5.2 catheter-associated urinary tract infection per 1,000 catheter-days [p = .41 vs. 3.0; p = .195]). Catheter-associated urinary tract infection rates were higher in lower middle-income countries than low-income countries or upper middle-income countries (5.9 vs. 0.6 catheter-associated urinary tract infection per 1,000 catheter-days [p < .004 vs. 3.7; p < .01]). Ventilator-associated pneumonia rates in academic hospitals were higher than private or public hospitals: (8.3 vs. 3.5 ventilator-associated pneumonias per 1,000 ventilator-days [p < .001 vs. 4.7; p < .001]). Lower middle-income countries had higher ventilator-associated pneumonia rates than low-income countries or upper middle-income countries: (9.0 vs. 0.5 per 1,000 ventilator-days [p < .001 vs. 5.4; p < .001]). Hand hygiene compliance rates were higher in public than academic or private hospitals (65.2% vs. 54.8% [p < .001 vs. 13.3%; p < .01]). Conclusions: Country socioeconomic level influence deviceassociated infection rates in developing countries and need to be considered when comparing device-associated infections from one country to another.

Abstract

Herniation through a congenital mesenteric defect is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn. Early diagnosis and surgical treatment improves the prognosis. We present a case of a full-term infant who presented with respiratory distress at birth. Enteral feeding was not started because abdominal distension and delayed passage of meconium. Bowel obstruction was suspected. Radiological investigation did not provide a clear diagnosis. Surgical exploration revealed transmesenteric congenital hernia. After surgical repair, enteral feeding was tolerated and patient was discharged with an uneventful outcome. Diagnostic difficulties were discussed.

During the 6-year study using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) U.S. National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) definitions for device-associated health care-associated infection (DA-HAI), we collected prospective data from 605,310 patients hospitalized in the INICC's ICUs for an aggregate of 3,338,396 days. Although device utilization in the INICC's ICUs was similar to that reported from ICUs in the U.S. in the CDC's NHSN, rates of device-associated nosocomial infection were higher in the ICUs of the INICC hospitals: the pooled rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection in the INICC's ICUs, 4.9 per 1,000 central line days, is nearly 5-fold higher than the 0.9 per 1,000 central line days reported from comparable U. S. ICUs. The overall rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia was also higher (16.8 vs 1.1 per 1,000 ventilator days) as was the rate of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (5.5 vs 1.3 per 1,000 catheter days). Frequencies of resistance of Pseudomonas isolates to amikacin (42.8% vs 10%) and imipenem (42.4% vs 26.1%) and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates to ceftazidime (71.2% vs 28.8%) and imipenem (19.6% vs 12.8%) were also higher in the INICC's ICUs compared with the ICUs of the CDC's NHSN.
