OBJECTIVE To validate procalcitonin (PCT) level as the best biological marker to distinguish between bacterial and aseptic meningitis in children in the emergency department. DESIGN Secondary analysis of retrospective multicenter hospital-based cohort studies. SETTING Six pediatric emergency or intensive care units of tertiary care centers in 5 European countries. PARTICIPANTS Consecutive...
background and objective: uttarakhand region is less explored, but possess a great biodiversity. this diversity can be explored for isolation and characterization of new actinomycetes strains for seeking antimicrobial molecules. it can therefore be predicted that novel bioactive metabolite producing actinomycetes can be discovered to combat multidrug resistant bacterial pathogens. materials and...
BACKGROUND Toothbrushes may play a significant role in plaque control. Toothbrushes should be correctly stored, disinfected and changed at regular intervals. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gluconate solution and ultra violet (UV) toothbrush-sanitizer for toothbrush disinfection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fresh tooth brushes were dist...
Five hundred specimens of urine have been examined for pyuria and bacteriuria, the leucocytes being stained by the Sternheimer-Malbin method. Most urines contained either less than 1 or more than 10 leucocytes per cmm; a few specimens contained 1 to 10 cells per cmm, whatever their viable bacterial count. The presence of leucocytes in urine was usually related to the bacterial count, pyuria bei...
Children with cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis are frequently treated with parenteral antibiotics, but only a few have bacterial meningitis. Although some clinical prediction rules, such as bacterial meningitis score, are of well-known value, the cerebrospinal fluid white blood cells count can be the initial available information. Our aim was to establish a cutoff point of cerebrospinal fluid wh...
RATIONALE Airway inflammation persists after smoking cessation in established chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), suggesting that other factors drive the airway inflammatory response. OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that high levels of bacterial colonization are associated with increased levels of neutrophilic airway inflammation in stable COPD by examining the cross-sectional r...
OBJECTIVE This study was undertaken to evaluate the discriminatory power of the peripheral white blood cell (WBC) count to identify bacterial infections in a cohort of febrile neonates (<or=28 days of age) presenting to an emergency department. METHODS Retrospective medical record review using descriptive statistics and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Neonates who presented t...
