Hyponatraemia associated with pneumonia or bacterial meningitis.
Serum sodium concentrations were measured in 93 children with pneumonia or bacterial meningitis on their admission to hospital. Hyponatraemia (sodium value 134 mmol/l or less) was present in 33 (45%) of the 73 children with pneumonia, and in 10 (50%) of the 20 children with bacterial meningitis. Increased secretion of antidiuretic hormone is common in children with pneumonia, as well as in chil...
متن کاملBacterial Pathogens Associated with Community acquired Pneumonia.
2. The use of oropharyngeal aspirate as the sample for isolation of bacterial pathogens associated with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) raises many questions. This is again highlighted by the isolation of organism like Acinetobacter and Citrobacter species from CAP cases. The value of isolating bacterial organisms that are frequently detected in the upper airways of children (eg, Streptococc...
متن کاملMicrobial etiologies of hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.
Hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) and ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) can be caused by a wide variety of bacteria that originate from the patient flora or the health care environment. We review the medical and microbiology literature and the results of the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (1997-2008) to establish the pathogens most likely to cause HABP or VA...
متن کاملAtypical bacterial pneumonia in the HIV-infected population
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals are more susceptible to respiratory tract infections by other infectious agents (viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi) as their disease progresses to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Despite effective antiretroviral therapy, bacterial pneumonia (the most frequently occurring HIV-associated pulmonary illness) remains a common cause of...

Keywords: Amp C ß lactamase Extended spectrum ß lactamase Metallobetalactamase Multidrug resistant organisms Ventilator associated pneumonia. Aims: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent intensive care unit (ICU) acquired infection. Due to the increasing incidence of multidrug resistant organisms (MDR) in the ICU, early and correct diagnosis of VAP is an urgent challenge for...
