RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) can colonize or cause infections in high-risk patients and contaminate the environment. Our objective was to describe the epidemiological investigation of an outbreak of VRE, the interventions made, and their impact on its control. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, descriptive, non-comparative study by reviewing the charts of patients with a VRE-positive culture in the University Hospital of Campinas State University, comprising 380 beds, 40 of which were in intensive care units (ICUs), who were admitted from February 2008-January 2009. Interventions were divided into educational activity, reviewing the workflow processes, engineering measures, and administrative procedures. RESULTS: There were 150 patients, 139 (92.7%) colonized and 11 (7.3%) infected. Seventy-three percent were cared for in non-ICUs (p = 0.028). Infection was more frequent in patients with a central-line (p = 0.043), mechanical ventilation (p = 0.013), urinary catheter (p = 0.049), or surgical drain (p = 0.049). Vancomycin, metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and third-generation cephalosporin were previously used by 47 (31.3%), 31 (20.7%), 24 (16%), and 24 (16%) patients, respectively. Death was more frequent in infected (73%) than in colonized (17%) patients (p < 0.001). After the interventions, the attack rate fell from 1.49 to 0.33 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Classical risk factors for VRE colonization or infection, e.g., being cared for in an ICU and previous use of vancomycin, were not found in this study. The conjunction of an educational program, strict adhesion to contact precautions, and reinforcement of environmental cleaning were able to prevent the dissemination of VRE.

INTRODUÇÃO: Enterococos resistentes a vancomicina (ERV) podem colonizar e causar infecção em pacientes de alto risco, bem como contaminar o ambiente. Nosso objetivo foi descrever a investigação epidemiológica de um surto de ERV, as intervenções realizadas e o impacto no controle do surto. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo, descritivo, por revisão de prontuários de pacientes com cultura positiva para ERV em um hospital geral, público, universitário, admitidos entre fevereiro de 2008 e janeiro de 2009. As intervenções foram divididas em ações educacionais, revisão de processos de trabalho, medidas administrativas e de engenharia. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 150 pacientes, 139 (92,7%) colonizados e 11 (7,3%) infectados por ERV. Setenta e três por cento estavam internados em unidades de cuidados não intensivos (p=0,028). Infecção por ERV foi mais frequente em pacientes usando cateter venoso central (p=0,043), ventilação mecânica (p=0,013), cateter urinário (p=0,049) ou drenos cirúrgicos (p=0,049). Vancomicina, metronidazol, ciprofloxacina ou cefalosporina de terceira geração foram utilizados previamente por 47 (31,3%), 31 (20,7%), 24 (16%) e 24 (16%) pacientes, respectivamente. Óbito foi mais frequente em pacientes infectados por ERV (73%) em relação aos colonizados (17%) (p<0,001). Após as intervenções, a taxa de ataque diminuiu de 1,49 para 0,33 (p<0,001). CONCLUSÕES: Fatores de risco clássicos para colonização ou infecção por ERV, como internação em unidade de terapia intensiva e uso prévio de vancomicina, não foram identificados neste estudo. Um conjunto de intervenções, tais como programa educacional, maior adesão às precauções de contato e reforço da limpeza ambiental apresentou impacto no controle da disseminação hospitalar do ERV.

RESUMEN

OBJETIVO: Avaliar o impacto de intervenções interdisciplinares nos indicadores de infecção de corrente sanguínea relacionada ao cateter venoso central e microrganismos isolados, em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Pediátrica. MÉTODOS: Estudo de intervenção do tipo antes e depois. Foi criado um programa educativo e constituída uma equipe interdisciplinar de intervenção composta por médicos e enfermeiros da unidade e do Serviço de Controle de Infecção Hospitalar. As intervenções foram compostas por medidas diretas e indiretas educativas e processuais. O período pré-intervenção (Fase 1), de junho de 2003 a maio de 2004, foi comparado ao período pós-intervenção nas Fases 2 (junho de 2004 a maio de 2005) e 3 (junho de 2005 a maio de 2006). As taxas de infecção foram comparadas por ANOVA, sendo significante p<0,05. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 1.234 pacientes entre 1º de junho de 2003 e 31 de maio de 2006. A densidade de incidência de infecção de corrente sanguínea relacionada ao cateter venoso central foi de 22,72 por 1.000 dias de cateter na Fase 1; diminuiu para 6,81 e 5,87 nas Fases 2 e 3, respectivamente (p<0,01) e não houve diferença entre as Fases 2 e 3. Os Gram-positivos representaram 57 por cento dos microrganismos isolados no período pré-intervenção e 45 e 58 por cento, respectivamente, nos períodos pós-intervenção. CONCLUSÕES: A abordagem educacional interdisciplinar e o estabelecimento de normas para inserção e intervenção no processo de manutenção de cateteres reduziram as taxas de infecção da corrente sanguínea relacionada ao cateter venoso central em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Pediátrica.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of interdisciplinary interventions on central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections rates in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and on the bloodstream infection organisms. METHODS: Interventional study type before-and-after. An educational program was performed and an interdisciplinary team of interventions was created. This team was formed by nurses and doctors of the PICU and of the Infection Control Committee. The interventions were composed by direct and indirect educational and procedural measures. Task-force interventions were developed from Jun/2003 to May/2004. This pre-intervention period (Phase 1) was compared with two post-intervention periods: Phases 2 (Jun/2004 to May/2005) and 3 (Jun/2005 to May/2006). Central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection rates during the three periods were compared by ANOVA, being significant p<0.05. RESULTS: 1,234 patients were studied from June 1st 2003 to May 31, 2006. The number of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections was 22.72 per 1,000 catheter-days in Phase 1, and 6.81 and 5.87 in Phases 2 and 3 respectively (Phase 1 vs Phase 2 and 3; p<0.001). Gram-positive organisms were isolated in 57 percent of bloodstream infections in Phase 1, and 45 and 58 percent in Phases 2 and 3, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The interdisciplinary educational approach and the central venous catheter insertion policies were effective to reduce central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

RESUMEN

Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) are important pathogens involved in nosocomial infections. Colonization precedes infection and the number of colonized individuals is about 10 times higher than the number of infected patients. We examined VRE colonization in two intensive care units from October 2003 to June 2004. Perirectal swab specimens were obtained from all patients, starting on the 5th day after admission, and then weekly. A total of 249 swabs were obtained from 112 patients. Nine patients had VRE-positive swabs, giving a positive rate of 8.0 percent. The rate of patients colonized by V-R E. faecalis was 1.8 percent (n=2), 4.5 percent by V-R E. gallinarun (n=5) and 1.8 percent by V-R E. casseliflavus (n=2). No V-R E. faeciun was isolated. None of the patients that had been colonized by VRE were found to be infected by these pathogens. In summary, a low prevalence of colonization by VRE was found in our institution. Only a structured surveillance program, based on active searching, was able to detect this low number of cases.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of acquired infection, and the incidence, risk factors, and molecular typing of multidrug-resistant bacterial organisms (MROs) colonizing respiratory secretions or the oropharynx of patients in an extended-care area of the emergency department (ED) in a tertiary-care university hospital. METHODS: A case-control study was conducted regarding risk factors for colonization with MROs in ED patients from July 1996 to August 1998. The most prevalent MRO strains were determined using plasmid and genomic analysis with PFGE. RESULTS: MROs colonized 59 (25.4%) of 232 ED patients and 173 controls. The mean ED length of stay for the 59 cases was 13.9 days versus 9.8 days for the 173 controls. The mean length of stay prior to the first isolation of MROs was 9.9 days. MRO species included Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The rate of hospital-acquired infection was 32.7 per 1,000 ED patient-days. The case fatality rate was significantly higher for cases. Univariate analysis identified mechanical ventilation, nebulization, nasogastric intubation, urinary catheterization, antibiotic therapy, and number of antibiotics as risk factors for MRO colonization. Multivariate regression analysis found that mechanical ventilation and nasogastric intubation independently predicted MRO colonization. Endemic clones were identified by PFGE in ED patients and were also found in patients in other parts of the hospital. CONCLUSIONS: Prolonged stay in the ED posed a risk for colonization with MROs and for contracting nosocomial infections, both of which were associated with increased mortality. Patients colonized with antibiotic-resistant A. baumannii may serve as a reservoir for spread in this hospital.

RESUMEN

Ministério da Saúde prepara novo censo epidemiológico para detectar as condições de saúde bucal de um país onde quase um quinto da população nunca foi a um dentista. Há cidades, porém, que investem na prevenção e tentam democratizar ao máximo a atenção à Saúde Bucal. É o caso de Ouro Preto (MG), onde o índice de CPOD aos 12 anos caiu de 4,5 em 1995 para 1,0 em 2000, o que coloca o município em concordância com as metas da OMS para o ano de 2010

RESUMEN

Analisa-se a frequencia relativa dos microrganismos isolados das infeccoes hospitalares no Hospital das Clinicas da Unicamp no periodo de 1987 a 1994. O microrganismo mais frequente foi o S. aureus (20,9 por cento), presente nas infeccoes da ferida cirurgica, nas infeccoes da corrente sanguinea e nas arterio-venosas. Nas infeccoes do trato urinario predominaram os bacilos Gram negativos (56,5 por cento) e as leveduras (9 por cento). Foi observado aumento da frequencia de isolados de Acinetobacter baumannii nos ultimos tres anos. Dentre os microrganismos isolados das infeccoes da corrente sanguinea, houve aumento gradual na frequencia de Staphylococcus coagulase negativo e A. baumannii, mas nao houve alteracao na ocorrencia de Candida sp
