ABSTRACT

Introducción: La diarrea por Clostridium difficile constituye un importante problema de salud que parece incrementarse. En nuestro estudio analizamos los cambios en la incidencia de esta infección en los últimos 11 años. Material y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de los pacientes hospitalizados con diarrea por Clostridium difficile diagnosticados en el Hospital Universitario Marqués de Valdecilla (Santander) desde el año 2004 hasta el 2014. Resultados: Se estudió a 244 pacientes (53% varones) de 66 (DE 15) años. Los casos de adquisición hospitalaria (80%) tenían, respecto a los de adquisición comunitaria, mayor edad [67 (DE 15) vs. 63 (DE 19) años; p = 0,01], comorbilidad alta (86% hospitalarios y 75% comunitarios; p = 0,01), uso de antibióticos (95 vs. 75%; p < 0,001) e inhibidores de la bomba de protones (87 vs. 48%; p < 0,001). Se incrementaron los casos con diarrea por Clostridium difficile en los últimos 11 años. Conclusión: El perfil clínico de los pacientes con diarrea por Clostridium difficile varía según el lugar de adquisición de la infección. Aumenta la prevalencia de esta enfermedad (AU)


Introduction: Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea is a major health problem that seems to be on the increase. In our study, we analyse the changes in the incidence of this infection over the last 11 years. Methods: A descriptive study in hospitalised patients with Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea in University Hospital Marqués de Valdecilla (Santander, Spain) from 2004 to 2014. Results: A total of 244 adults were identified [53% men; 66 (SD 15) years]. The cases of nosocomial acquisition (80%), with respect to community acquired Clostridium difficile infection, were older [67 (SD 15) years vs. 63 (19) years; P=.01), high comorbidity (86% vs. 75%; P=.01), use of antibiotics (95% vs. 75%; P<.001) and proton pump inhibitors (87% vs. 48% P<.001). There has been an increasing incidence of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhoea in our hospital over an 11-year period. Conclusion: The clinical profile of patients with Clostridium difficile diarrhoea varies by place of acquisition of infection. The prevalence of this disease is increasing (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La identificación rápida de patógenos es esencial para el diagnóstico de las infecciones gastrointestinales. La espectrometría de masas matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) ha demostrado ser eficaz y rápida en la identificación de microorganismos. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la correlación entre Vitek-MSTM y los métodos convencionales para la identificación de bacterias causantes de infección gastrointestinal. Material y métodos. Se han identificado un total de 329 patógenos gastrointestinales empleando, simultáneamente, Vitek-MSTM (v2 SARAMIS MS-ID, BioMérieux, Marcy-I´Étoile, Francia) y métodos diagnósticos convencionales. En los casos de discrepancia se realizó secuenciación del gen 16SrRNA. Resultados. La correlación entre Vitek-MSTM y los métodos diagnósticos convencionales fue del 100% excepto para Yersinia enterocolitica (94,1%), Helicobacter pylori (10%) y Aeromonas veronii (0%). Conclusiones. Vitek-MSTM es un método rápido y útil en la identificación de bacterias enteropatógenas. Es necesario mejorar las prestaciones del sistema para H. pylori y A. veronii (AU)


Introduction. Rapid identification of pathogens is essential for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry has shown to be effective and fast for the identification of microorganisms. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between Vitek-MSTM and conventional methods for bacterial identification causing gastrointestinal infection. Material and methods. A total of 329 gastrointestinal pathogens were identified using Vitek-MSTM (v2 SARAMIS MS -ID, bioMérieux, Marcy-I´Étoile, France) and routine diagnostic methods simultaneously. In cases of discrepancy 16SrRNA gene sequencing was performed. Results. The correlation between Vitek-MSTM and diagnostic methods was 100% except for Yersinia enterocolitica (94.1%), Helicobacter pylori (10%) and Aeromonas veronii (0 %). Conclusions. Vitek-MSTM is a quick and useful method for identification of enterophatogenic bacteria. It is necessary to improve the performance of the system for the identification of H. pylori and A. veronii (AU)
