Abstract

Background: Infectious disease (ID) clinicians can provide essential services for febrile patients in tertiary hospitals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ID consultations (IDC) in managing hospitalized patients with infections in an oriental medical hospital (OMH), which serves as a long-term care facility. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the role of IDCs in managing patients in an OMH. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in an OMH in Seoul, Korea, from June 2006 to June 2013. Results: Among the 465 cases of hospital-acquired fever, 141 (30.3%) were referred for ID. The most common cause of fever was infection in both groups. The peak body temperature of the patient was higher in IDC group (38.8±0.6°C vs. 38.6±0.5°C, p<0.001). Crude mortality at 30 days (14.6% vs. 7.8%, p = 0.043) and infection-attributable mortality (15.3% vs. 6.7%, p = 0.039) were higher in the No-IDC group. Multivariable analysis showed that infection as the focus of fever (adjusted Odd ratio [aOR] 3.49, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.64–7.44), underlying cancer (aOR 10.32, 95% CI 4.34–24.51,), and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (aOR 15.68, 95% CI 2.06–119.08) were associated with increased 30-day mortality. Multivariate analysis showed that in patients with infectious fever, appropriate antibiotic therapy (aOR 0.19, 95% CI 0.05–0.76) was the only factor associated with decreased infection-attributable mortality while underlying cancer (aOR 7.80, 95% CI 2.555–23.807) and severe sepsis or septic shock at the onset of fever (aOR 10.15, 95% CI 1.00–102.85) were associated with increased infection-attributable mortality. Conclusion: Infection was the most common cause of fever in patients hospitalized for OMH. Infection as the focus of fever, underlying cancer, and MODS was associated with increased 30-day mortality in patients with nosocomial fever. Appropriate antibiotic therapy was associated with decreased infection-attributable mortality in patients with infectious fever. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Tigecycline has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity and is approved for complicated intra-abdominal infections, complicated skin and soft tissue infections, and community-acquired pneumonia. There are few data on clinical experience of tigecycline in hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and Acinetobacter spp. infection., Methods: A retrospective study was performed at eight hospitals in Korea from May 2009 to January 2010. Adult patients treated with tigecycline regardless of their source of infection or pathogens were enrolled., Results: Tigecycline was administered in 108 patients. Pneumonia was the most common infection (43.5%), followed by skin and soft tissue infections (20.4%). Acinetobacter baumannii was isolated from 83 patients (76.9%) accounting for 50.3% of isolated pathogens, showing a resistance rate of 67.5% to carbapenems. Superinfection was identified in 32 patients (29.6%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was most common microorganism causing superinfection (46.9%). Overall 30-day mortality rate was 52.9%. Thirty-day mortality rate of HAP and Acinetobacter spp. infection was 60.5% and 59.4%, respectively., Conclusion: Tigecycline can be considered as an alternative therapy in patients with HAP or infections caused by Acinetobacter spp., especially extensively drug-resistant A. baumannii.

Abstract

Necrotizing fasciitis is known to be a highly lethal infection of deep-seated subcutaneous tissue and superficial fascia. Reports of necrotizing fasciitis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae are exceedingly rare. We report a case of necrotizing fasciitis in a 62-yr-old man with liver cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus. He presented with painful swelling of left leg and right hand. On the day of admission, compartment syndrome was aggravated and the patient underwent surgical exploration. Intra-operative findings revealed necrotizing fasciitis and cultures of two blood samples and wound aspirates showed S. pneumoniae. The patient died despite debridement and proper antimicrobial treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of fatal necrotizing fasciitis with meningitis reported in Korea. We also review and discuss the literature on pneumococcal necrotizing fasciitis.

Abstract

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) is becoming increasingly common worldwide. The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence and molecular characteristics of MRSA bloodstream isolates in hospitals. Clinical data from patients with MRSA bacteremia between 2003 and 2005 were collected. Isolates were classified as hospital-acquired (HA-MRSA), health care-associated (HCA-MRSA), or CA-MRSA according to the time of isolation and the risk factors for colonization. Available strains were tested for the presence of mecA, staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec), and by multilocus sequence test. Among 129 cases, 78 nonduplicated isolates were analyzed. The proportion of CA-MRSA, HCA-MRSA, and HA-MRSA was 2.6% (2), 23.1% (18), and 74.4% (58), respectively. According to multilocus sequence test and SCCmec, there were seven genotypes with sequence types (STs) and SCCmec types. The predominant genotype, ST5-MRSA-II, was found in 57.7% (45). All type IVA isolates was ST72 (9), and ST72-MRSA-IVA was identified in CA-MRSA (2, 100%), HCA-MRSA (1, 5.6%), and HA-MRSA (6, 10.3%), respectively. In summary, CA-MRSA bacteremia was not common in our hospital during the period.
