ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the characteristics of infectious diseases from neurology ward and provide reference for the treat-ment. Methods:The consultation record of the neurological patients who suffered infection diseases were retrospectively summarized from January 2011 to December 2013. All the consultation were performed by clinical pharmacists. SPSS 19. 0 software was used to an-alyze the adoption and prognosis of the outcomes. Results:In 439 consultation cases,256 patients(58. 31%)were older than 65 years. Most of the cases were respiratory infection(294 cases,65. 33%),urinary tract infection(40 cases,8. 89%)and intracranial infection(37 cases,8. 22%). There were 510 strains of bacteria isolated by culturing,in which 362 strains were gram-negative bacte-ria(70. 98%),127 strains were gram-positive bacteria(24. 90%)and 21 strains were fungi(4. 12%). The top five of pathogenic bac-teria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa(125 stains,24. 51%),Acinetobacter baumannii(93 stains,18. 24%),Staphylococcus aureus(88 stains,17. 25%),Staphylococcus aureus(68 stains,13. 33%)and Escherichia coli. (32 stains,6. 27%). The detection rates of ESBLs of K. pneumonia and E. coli were 61. 36% and 75. 00%,respectively. Among 125 strains of P. aeruginosa,the sensitive rate to meropenem and inipenem was 65. 8% and 70. 6%,respectively. A. baumannii was highly multidrug resistant,and 21 strains (22. 58%)with pan-drug resistance were isolated. Gram-positive bacteria were highly sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Totally 35 strains(52. 24%)of MRSA were isolated. The complete adoption rate of consultation opinion was 84. 74%(372 cases),the partial adoption rate was 7. 28%(32 cases),and 35 cases(7. 97%)were declined. In all the adopted cases(319 cases,78. 96%)showed effectiveness. In the linear correlation analysis,the consultation adoption and therapy outcomes had significant correlation(P<0. 01). Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists can improve the efficiency in anti-infection therapy and play important roles in the treatment of infec-tious diseases in neurology ward,especially in the treatment of drug-resistant bacterial infections.
