Direct application of the INNO-LiPA Rif.TB line-probe assay for rapid identific...
Viveiros, M; Leandro, C; Rodrigues, L; Almeida, J; Bettencourt, R; Couto, I; Carrilho, L; Diogo, J; Fonseca, A; Lito, L; Lopes, J; Pacheco, TThe INNO-LiPA Rif.TB assay for the identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex strains and the detection of rifampin (RIF) resistance has been evaluated with 360 smear-positive respiratory specimens from an area of high incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The sensitivity when compared to conventional identification/culture methods was 82.2%, and the specificity was 66.7%; the sensit...
Multicenter study of isolated micro-organisms resistant to antimicrobials in 10...
Cristino, J M; Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisboa.; Calado, E; Calheiros, I M; Costa, D; Costa, M N; Diogo, J; Felicio, M L; Ferro, M L; Da Fonseca, J CIn 1994, Microbiology Laboratories of ten Portuguese hospitals analysed isolated microorganisms found in blood and urine samples and studied antimicrobial susceptibilities of the most frequent bacterial pathogens. From 63780 blood samples, the most frequent were Staphylococcus spp. and from 69189 urine samples significant numbers of Escherichia coli, Enterococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida spp. we...
Nosocomial infection in a pediatric intensive care unit.
Correia, M; Serviço de Pediatria, Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisboa.; Simão, C; Lito, L M; Cabeçadas, M; Almeida, H; Carvalho, A; Rodrigues, GPatients in intensive care units (ICU) are 3 to 4 times more prone to nosocomial infection (NI) than patients in general wards owing to the severity of their pathology and the frequent use of invasive procedures. The aim of this study was to establish the incidence of NI in an ICU and the associated risk factors.During 18 months, all patients with severity scores III and IV (Clinical Classification System) were...
A case of Legionella pneumophila pneumonia.
Correia, M; Unidade de Cuidados Especiais, Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisboa.; Dieudonné, V; Almeida, H; Bandeira, T; Lito, L; Rodrigues, G; Sequeira, SLegionella pneumophila is an uncommon cause of pneumonia, mainly in children. We present a case with aggressive disease and unfavourable outcome. The diagnosis was established by serum antibody detection and immunofluorescence and culture of a fragment of lung tissue obtained at necropsy. We focus the importance of this aetiology in nosocomial pneumonia and community-acquired pneumonia with an atypical evolutio...
The microbiological profile of nosocomial infection in a respiratory intensive ...
Brum, G; Serviço de Pneumologia, Hospital de Santa Maria, Lisboa.; Monteiro, J T; Monteiro, F; Valença, J; Gonçalves, J R; Lito, L M; Couto, HIn 1987, in the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit of Santa Maria Hospital we developed a nosocomial surveillance program with specially created software that provides knowledge of NI in the ICU at any moment. The information gathered along the time is particularly useful in the correlation of the risk factors, the most frequent microorganisms and in the institution of empiric antibiotic therapy. Out of 2528 patie...
