Objective To investigate the death prognosis and risk factors of extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in hospitalized elderly patients with hematological infection, so as to facilitate clinical prevention and treatment. Methods The elderly (> 80 years old) hospitalized patients with hematological infection in our hospital from 2015 to 2021 were selected for analysis. Firstly, 314 patients with extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii hematological infection were distinguished by etiological analysis. A total of 98 cases of death were detected during hospitalization (later referred to as the observation group). By comparing with the surviving patients (216 cases) (later referred to as the control group), the general data of patients with XDRAB infection were collected, and the risk of death and its influencing factors were analyzed. Results In the study, the proportion of patients in the observation group who used catheters was higher, the catheter retention time was longer, the acute physiology and chronic health status II scores were higher, and the proportion of patients who lost self-care ability was also higher. Conclusion The death of blood borne infection of extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii in elderly patients is affected by many factors. Among them, patients who use catheters for a long time, have poor self-care ability and lose self-care ability have a higher risk of death, which is worthy of clinical attention.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of procalcitonin (PCT),high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),white blood cell (WBC)and percentage of neutrocyte (NEU％)in Gramnegative and Gram-positive bacterial blood stream infection in early stage of sepsis in order to investigate the correlation between PCT and APACHE lⅡ score as well as between PCT and SOFA score,and the prognostic value in assessment of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial blood stream infection.Methods Clinical data of patients admitted to ICU from January 2012 through December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 124 sepsis patients with blood stream infection were checked with PCT,hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％ tests,and APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score were calculated.The differences in APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score were compared between Gram-negative group (n =41) and Gram-positive group (n =83).The correlation between PCT and APACHE Ⅱ score as well as between PCT and SOFA score was analyzed.The differences in diagnostic values of PCT,hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％ between Gram-negative group and Grampositive group were analyzed by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and it was plotted to assess the prognostic values of PCT,hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％ for septic patients with blood stream infection.Results Compared with Gram-positive group,the levels of PCT [.55.32 (22.01,97.11) vs.2.13 (0.27,5.27)] (P ＜0.01),hs-CRP [105.09 (69.97,186.12) vs.70.54 (42.37,138.63)] (P=0.508),NEU％ [88.30 (75.79,93.52) vs.55.32 (22.01,97.11)] (P=0.302) were higher but WBC was lower [13.59 (10.74,17.58) vs.13.73 (11.32,20.90)] (P=0.058) in Gram-negative group.The ROC curve analysis of PCT showed the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.867 (95％ CI:0.789-0.946).When the optimal cutoff point of PCT was 17.48 ng/mL,the largest Youden's index was found to be 0.661 with 76.9％ sensitivity and 89.2％ specificity.Between two groups,there were significant differences in APACHE Ⅱ score and SOFA score (27.46 ± 9.60 vs.23.67 ± 7.74,P =0.020;8.05 ±3.38 vs.6.59-±3.45,P =0.028).There was significant difference in diagnostic value between PCT and SOFA (r =0.536,P =0.036) in Gram-negative group but no significant difference in Gram-positive group.Conclusions Higher PCT levels are found in Gram-negative group and it can play a role in differntiation between the Gram-negative group and Gram-positive group rather than hs-CRP,WBC and NEU％.PCT can be a better indicator for evaluation of severity of sepsis as well as for prognosis of sepsis patients with Gram-negative bacterium infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the pathogen distribution and drug resistance of candida isolated from children with blood infections in our hospital,and to provide reference for clinical effective prevention and treatment.Methods The blood specimens of pediatric patients were collected between January 2009 and December 2015,and were cultured using BacT/ALERT 3D and BD9140 instruments.The candida were separated with Sobaurandps agar culture medium,and identified with chromogenic medium,API 20CAUX test strips or VITEK-2 compact YST card.The minimal inhibitory concentration of 5 drugs were determined by ATB FUNGUS 3 system.Results In 176 cases,92 strains (52.3％) were from neonatal ward,and 46 strains (26.1％) were from PICU.In newborn group,85 strains were isolated from premature,which contained the low and very low birth weight infants (37 strains),pneumonia(20 strains),neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(9 strains).In PICU,the strains were commonly isolated from children with severe infection.Among 176 strains of candida,71 strains (40.3％) were C.albicans,62 strains (35.2％) were C.parapsilosis,16 strains(9.1％) were C.glabrata,9 strains(5.1％) were C.tropicalis,and 18 strains(10.2％) belonged to other candida.Conclusion Candida blood infections can happen at all age of chlidren.The most common strains detected from blood were C.albicans,followed by C.parapsilosis.Most of these strains are susceptible to antifungal drugs,such as fluconazole,except C.glabrata.The sensitive rates to commonly used antifungal drug are more than 93％.The selection of antifungal drugs should be based on the species of strains.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the high risk factors of blood infection in Chinese citizens' organ donation,provide the basic evidence for early protection,increase the success rate of donor distribution,and expand the Chinese organ donation pool.Methods A retrospective study was performed on 70 cases of donation recruited during October 2014 to January 2016.The incidence of blood infection in these donors was analyzed.The univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to find out the high risk factors influencing the donor blood infection.Finally,the donor blood infection assessment model and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were established to assess the sensitivity and specificity.Results The overall infection rate was 64.3％ (45/70).The pulmonary,blood,and urinary tract infection rate was 42.9％,31.4％ and 1.4％ respectively.The total length of hospital stay (＞10 days) (P =0.017),oxygenation index (＜ 233.5 ± 107.0) (P =0.046),aspartate aminotransferase (＞196.9 ± 329.1 U/L) (P =0.044),and valley alanine aminotransferase (＞95.0 ± 78.1 U/L) (P =0.026) were four risk factors for predicting the donor blood infection.The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the total length of stay ＞10 days along with the donors' oxygenation index (＜233.5 ± 107.0) was independent risk factor for predicting the blood infection.The donor blood infection model was:0.193 + 1.753 hospital stay (＞10 days)-0.007 oxygenation index.The sensitivity and specificity were 0.682 and 0.75 (P ＜0.001) respectively.Conclusion For a long-term stay in ICU,the rate of blood infection for donors was much higher,at this time,the most effective antibiotics should be chosen.Besides,improving donor oxygenation index and liver function can reduce the incidence of infection.
