ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background: Many human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and syphilis co-infected patients are not diagnosed, which may evolve into asymptomatic neurosyphilis (ANS). We studied the occurrence of ANS an HIV-infected population. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples collected from patients co-infected with HIV and Treponema pallidum. Social-demographic and clinical-laboratory characteristics were studied. Results: Of the 348 patients infected with HIV, 33 (9.5%) had reagent treponemic and non-treponemic tests. CSF was collected from 19 asymptomatic patients. Of these, 8 (42.1%) presented with laboratory alterations suggestive of ANS. Conclusion: Social-demographic and clinical-laboratory variables should be considered for the indication of CSF collection.
ABSTRACT
RESUMO Objetivo: identificar o perfil de microrganismos isolados de amostras biológicas de pacientes internados em um Hospital do Paraná. Método: pesquisa descritiva e retrospectiva, com coleta de dados de fonte secundária, desenvolvida em um hospital do Paraná (Brasil), referente a 2018. A população do estudo foi composta por amostras biológicas de 226 pacientes admitidos durante o período de 01 de janeiro a 31 de dezembro de 2018. A análise dos dados foi realizada pela estatística descritiva. Resultado: a idade média dos pacientes foi de 60,41 anos e maioria mulheres. Das amostras biológicas, 70 tiveram resultados positivos para identificação bacteriana. O aspirado traqueal apresentou maior positividade a microrganismos, com 30%. Os microrganismos mais frequentes foram Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus coagulase negativa, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter sp. e Proteus sp. Conclusão: o estudo contribui para a assistência hospitalar, por produzir conhecimento do perfil microbiológico e sua resistência a antibióticos.
RESUMEN: Objetivo: identificar el perfil de microorganismos aislados de muestras biológicas de pacientes internados en un hospital de Paraná. Método: investigación descriptiva e retrospectiva, con recolección de datos de una fuente secundaria, desarrollada en un hospital de Paraná (Brasil), con referencia al año 2018. La población del estudio estuvo compuesta por muestras biológicas de 226 pacientes internados durante el período del 1 de enero al 31 de diciembre de 2018. El análisis de los datos se realizó por medio de estadística descriptiva. Resultado: la media de edad de los pacientes fue de 60,41 años y la mayoría eran mujeres. De las muestras biológicas, 70 tuvieron resultados positivos con respecto a la identificación bacteriana. El aspirado traqueal presentó mayor positividad a microorganismos, con 30%. Los microorganismos más frecuentes fueron Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus coagulasa negativa, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter sp. y Proteus sp. Conclusión: el estudio contribuyó a la asistencia hospitalaria, por generar conocimiento del perfil microbiológico y su resistencia a antibióticos.
ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the profile of microorganisms isolated from biological samples of patients admitted to a hospital in Paraná. Method: descriptive and retrospective research, with data collection from a secondary source, developed in a hospital in Paraná (Brazil), referring to 2018. The study population consisted of biological samples from 226 patients admitted during the period from January 1st to December 31st, 2018. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. Result: the mean age of the patients was 60.41 years old and the majority were women. Of the biological samples, 70 had positive results for bacterial identification. The tracheal aspirate showed greater positivity to microorganisms, with 30%. The most frequent microorganisms were Escherichia coli, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter sp. and Proteus sp. Conclusion: the study contributes to hospital care, as it produces knowledge of the microbiological profile and its resistance to antibiotics.
