The report of two cases of chest and kidney infections reminds of the possibility of distant infections caused by thrombophlebitic complications of cholesteatoma. Deep neck infection, mediastinitis, pleural empyema, pulmonary abscesses and hematogenic microabscesses of kidney have been proved by clinical, radiologic and laboratory examinations in two cholesteatoma patients. The clinical c...

IOM predstavljaju jednu od tri najčešće lokalizacije svih bolničkih infekcija (BI). U SAD one čine 14–16% BI . Kod operisanih bolesnika u ovoj zemlji to su najčešće od svih BI i zastupljene su sa 38% . Stopa incidencije IOM u drugim razvijenim zemljama se kreće od 2,2 5 do 4% , dok u nerazvijenim zemljama, odnosno zemljama u kojima sistem nadzora nad BI kao i njihova prevencija i kontrola nisu ...

Surgical infections are mostly polymicrobial, involving both aerobes and anaerobes. One hundred seventeen cases comprised of abscesses (n=51), secondary peritonitis (n=25), necrotizing fascitis (n=22) and wounds with devitalized tissues (n=19) were studied. The number of microorganisms isolated per lesion was highest in secondary peritonitis (2.32). The aerobe/ anaerobe ratio was 0.81 in second...
