RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: lesión típica ocasionada por el Staphylococcus aureus es el furúnculo o cualquier otro absceso localizado. Objetivo: describir el comportamiento del proteinograma y los niveles de inmunoglobulinas séricas. Métodos: se realizó un estudio longitudinal prospectivo con 70 pacientes portadores de forúnculos infectados por Staphylococcus aureus, que acudieron a las consultas de Inmunología en varias localidades de Villa Clara. Resultados: se determinaron las fracciones proteicas por método de elusión; se cuantificaron las inmunoglobulinas séricas por inmunodifusión radial simple, según edad, sexo y color de la piel de los pacientes. Se contrastaron las variables bajo la prueba de Ji cuadrado, con una significación de confianza del 95 %. Predominaron los pacientes con el color de la piel blanca sobre los no blancos. En la electroforesis de proteínas se obtuvieron resultados normales para las proteínas totales y la fracción gamma. Para la albúmina, fracción alfa 1, alfa 2 y beta globulina se obtuvieron valores bajos, por encima del 95 % válido. Conclusiones: todas las inmunoglobulinas resultaron normales o altas, según los intervalos de referencia para cada grupo de edad. Al correlacionar los valores de las inmunoglobulinas con las fracciones de la electroforesis, fue llamativo el resultado obtenido en la correlación entre la IgA y la fracción beta. De manera general, los anticuerpos no mostraron variaciones significativas en sus correlaciones, lo cual evidenció un pobre papel en la infección. Se concluyó que los valores de alfa 1, alfa 2 y beta globulina pueden tener importancia en la enfermedad.


ABSTRACT Introduction: the typical lesion caused by Staphylococcus aureus is the furuncle or any other localized abscess. Objective: to describe the manifestation of the proteinogram and serum immunoglobulin levels. Methods: a prospective longitudinal study was carried out in 70 patients with furuncles infected by Staphylococcus aureus, who came to the Immunology consultations from various locations of Villa Clara. Results: protein fractions were determined by elution method; serum immunoglobulins were quantified according to age, gender and skin color of the patients by simple radial immunodiffusion. Variables were contrasted under the Chi-square test, with 95% confidence significance. White patients predominated over non-white ones. Normal results were obtained for total proteins and gamma fraction in protein electrophoresis. Low values were obtained for albumin, alpha 1, alpha 2 and beta globulin fraction, above 95% valid. Conclusions: all immunoglobulins were normal or high, according to the reference intervals for each age group. The result obtained in the correlation between IgA and the beta fraction was striking when correlating the immunoglobulin values with the electrophoresis fractions. In general, the antibodies did not show significant variations in their correlations, which evidenced a poor role in infection. We concluded that alpha 1, alpha 2 and beta globulin values may be important in the disease.

RESUMO

Las infecciones de piel y tejidos blandos (IPTB) representan la tercera causa de consulta por enfermedad infecciosas a los servicios médicos, después de las infecciones respiratorias y urinarias. Se presenta una guía de práctica clínica (GPC) con 38 recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia, graduadas bajo el sistema SIGN, para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de pacientes adultos con IPTB en el contexto colombiano, posterior a un proceso de adaptación de GPC publicadas y la búsqueda sistemática y síntesis de literatura para la actualización de la evidencia científica. Además, se realizó un consenso de expertos para la evaluación de las potenciales barreras para la implementación de las recomendaciones y la evaluación del grado de recomendación en el contexto local.


Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) represent the third leading cause of infectious disease consultation for medical services after respiratory and urinary tract infections. This document generates a clinical practice guideline with 38 recommendations based on evidence, graduated under the SIGN system for the diagnosis and treatment for SSTI infections in adult patients in Colombia, following a process of adaptation of guidelines published, and the systematic search and synthesis of literature for the updating of scientific evidence. In addition, a consensus of experts was made for the evaluation of the potential barriers for the implementation of the recommendations and the evaluation of the degree of recommendation in the local context.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) represent a major clinical problem in Colombia. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with MRSA SSTI in Colombia. METHODS: A multicenter cohort study with nested case-control design was performed. Patients with an SSTI with at least 48h of inpatient care were included. Patients with an MRSA SSTI were considered the case group and patients with either a non-MRSA SSTI or with an Methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) SSTI were the control groups. A multivariate logistic regression approach was used to evaluate risk factors associated with MRSA SSTI with two different statistical models. RESULTS: A total 1134 patients were included. Cultures were positive for 498 patients, of which 52% (n=259) were Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA was confirmed in 68.3% of the S. aureus cultures. In the first model, independent risk factors for MRSA SSTI were identified as the presence of abscess (P<0.0001), cellulitis (P=0.0007), age 18-44 years (P=0.001), and previous outpatient treatment in the previous index visit (P=0.003); surgical site infection was a protective factor (P=0.008). In the second model, the main risk factor found was previous outpatient treatment in the previous index visit (P=0.013). CONCLUSIONS: Community-acquired SSTIs in Colombia are commonly caused by MRSA. Therefore, clinicians should consider MRSA when designing the initial empirical treatment for purulent SSTI in Colombia, although there seems to be low awareness of this fact.

RESUMO

In Denmark, eradication treatment is recommended for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriers. Here, we analyze factors associated with eradication outcome. MRSA carriers referred to the MRSA Knowledge Center at Hvidovre Hospital in 2013 were included. Carriers were sampled from nose, throat, and perineum. Eradication regimen was 5 days of mupirocin nasal ointment and chlorhexidine whole-body wash. Oral antibiotics were sometimes added. Factors associated with eradication after the first eradication attempt were analyzed by logistic regression and expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Of 164 individuals, 143 completed 1- and 6-month follow-up after 1st treatment. Eradication was achieved in 63 (38.4%) patients after one treatment and 101 (61.6%) individuals became MRSA free after up to 4 eradication treatments. Throat carriage was associated with a higher failure rate (OR 0.29 (0.10-0.80)), while the presence of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) genes (37%) was associated with higher success rate (OR 3.52 (1.44-8.57)). Other factors analyzed were not significantly associated with eradication outcome. None of the 26 patients lost to follow-up developed later MRSA infections. This study estimates the efficacy of treatment of MRSA carriage with an eradication rate of 38.4% after the first treatment and a total eradication rate of 61.6% after several treatments. Throat carriers had a lower eradication success rate. Adding oral antibiotics to the first treatment did not increase success. The finding of a significant higher success rate when having a PVL-positive clone should be further investigated.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Recently, following import by travel and migration, epidemic community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has caused nosocomial outbreaks in Europe, sometimes with a fatal outcome. We describe clinico-epidemiological characteristics of CA-MRSA detected by the European Network for the Surveillance of imported S. aureus (www.staphtrav.eu) from May 2011 to November 2016. METHODS: Sentinel surveillance at 13 travel clinics enrolling patients with travel-associated skin and soft-tissue infection (SSTI) and analysing lesion and nose swabs at one central laboratory. RESULTS: A total of 564 independent case-patients with SSTI were enrolled and had 374 (67%) S. aureus-positive lesions, of which 14% (51/374) were MRSA. The majority of CA-MRSA isolates from SSTI were Panton-Valentine leucocidin (PVL) -positive (43/51, 84%). The risk of methicillin-resistance in imported S. aureus varied by travel region (p <0.001) and was highest in Latin America (16/57, 28%, 95% CI 17.0-41.5) and lowest in Sub-Saharan Africa (4/121, 3%, 95% CI 0.9-8.3). Major epidemic clones (USA300 / USA300 Latin-American Variant, Bengal Bay, South Pacific) accounted for more than one-third (19/51, 37%) of CA-MRSA imports. CA-MRSA SSTI in returnees was complicated (31/51 multiple lesions, 61%; 22/50 recurrences, 44%), led to health-care contact (22/51 surgical drainage, 43%; 7/50 hospitalization, 14%), was transmissible (13/47 reported similar SSTI in non-travelling contacts, 28%), and associated with S. aureus nasal colonization (28 of 51 CA-MRSA cases, 55%; 24 of 28 colonized with identical spa-type in nose and lesion, 85%). CONCLUSIONS: Travel-associated CA-MRSA SSTI is a transmissible condition that leads to medical consultations and colonization of the infected host.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). This study aimed to determine the temporal trends in antibiotic susceptibility of S. aureus in SSTI patients aged <19 years.METHODS: This retrospective observational study was conducted in pediatric patients with SSTI caused by community-associated S. aureus. Microbiologic and demographic data were collected, and the trends of antibiotic susceptibility results were evaluated.RESULTS: From January 2010 to December 2018, a total of 807 S. aureus isolates were included. An overall increase in susceptibility of isolates to oxacillin was noted (P<0.001), with 75.0% of isolates being oxacillin-susceptible in 2018. S. aureus remained highly susceptible to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline, with 97.6% and 95.2% isolate susceptibility in 2018, respectively. Isolates from younger children aged 1 to 5 years had a significantly lower rate of susceptibility to oxacillin than older children aged 6 to 18 years (53.4% vs. 75.0%, P<0.001).CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of methicillin-resistant S. aureus isolates appears to decrease in pediatric patients with community-associated SSTI caused by S. aureus. Clinicians should be aware of regional susceptibility patterns when choosing empirical regimens.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the incidence of self-reported history of physician-diagnosed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) among chiropractic students and any association with infection control behaviors (hand and table hygiene, sharing gowns, and sharing lotion) and initiation of patient care. METHODS: Questionnaires were obtained from 312 students attending half (9/18) of US chiropractic campuses. The questionnaire was derived from earlier studies led by Bearman in 2010 and Evans in 2007. Associations were assessed with Fisher exact test. Crude odds ratios were calculated for each of the variables. Two logistic regression models were produced. RESULTS: Attendance at 1 campus was associated with postmatriculation MRSA SSTI in univariate analysis (P = .010). The logistic regression model was significant (P < .05), but the composing variables were not. CONCLUSIONS: Fewer than 5 cases of MRSA SSTI were detected overall, revealing a low rate of reported postmatriculation MRSA SSTI among these students. There was a univariate association with postmatriculation MRSA SSTI at 1 chiropractic college.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Cost-containment strategies are shifting the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) from inpatient to outpatient settings. Current standard of care (SoC) requires multiple-dose regimens, which are associated with high hospitalization rates and high costs. Oritavancin, a new single-dose antibiotic for ABSSSI, may be suitable for outpatient therapy. This analysis evaluates the effectiveness, costs, and resource utilization of oritavancin vs. SoC in a real-world, outpatient setting. METHODS: A single-site, retrospective chart review was conducted of 118 adult patients diagnosed with ABSSSI and treated with either single-dose oritavancin or multi-dose SoC therapy between 6 August 2014 and 30 June 2015. Patients were assigned to two matched cohorts: oritavancin and SoC. Primary clinical effectiveness endpoints was the success (cured or improved) at 5-30 days after the course of antibiotic therapy has been completed. Secondary economic endpoints were total costs and healthcare resource utilization. RESULTS: Oritavancin showed comparable clinical effectiveness vs. multi-dose SoC in the outpatient setting. A similar percentage of patients in the oritavancin (90.2%) and SoC cohorts (77.4%) achieved successful outcomes ("cure" or "improved"), with the cure rate higher for oritavancin (73.2%) vs. SoC (48.4%; P = 0.0315). Oritavancin's clinical effectiveness was consistent across patient subgroups with varying demographic, clinical, and ABSSSI characteristics. Oritavancin was consistently associated with lower costs (per-patient savings $2319) and reduced resource utilization measures, and it required just 1.0 day of therapy vs. 7.2 days for SoC. CONCLUSION: Oritavancin is well suited for the outpatient treatment of ABSSSI. Compared with SoC, oritavancin offers comparable effectiveness, is more economical, and requires fewer healthcare resources.

RESUMO

A school-based store-and-forward telemedicine program, which is delivered to school children by school staff is an acceptable model of care for treating skin infections. This indicates that non-clinicians have potential to play a key role in telemedicine. Benefits include empowerment and role redefinition of staff, and potential improvements in health awareness of children, with no major issues perceived in the current program.

RESUMO

To investigate the global occurrence of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance and the genetic mechanisms of trimethoprim resistance, we analysed Staphylococcus aureus from travel-associated skin and soft-tissue infections treated at 13 travel clinics in Europe. Thirty-eight per cent (75/196) were trimethoprim-resistant and 21% (41/196) were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Among methicillin-resistant S. aureus, these proportions were 30% (7/23) and 17% (4/23), respectively. DfrG explained 92% (69/75) of all trimethoprim resistance in S. aureus. Travel to South Asia was associated with the highest risk of acquiring trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole-resistant S. aureus. We conclude that globally dfrG is the predominant determinant of trimethoprim resistance in human S. aureus infection.

RESUMO

Botriomicose é doença infecciosa crônica granulomatosa e supurativa causada por bactérias Gram-positivas e Gram-negativas que formam grãos pseudomicóticos. As lesões cutâneas sãoplacas e tumores multinodulares com ulceração e formação de fístulas que podem eliminar grãos. A infecção acomete a pele, com possível disseminação para vísceras. É doença relativamente rara e seu diagnóstico pode ser alcançado por meio de biópsia das lesões e culturados grânulos nas secreções positivas para cocos Gram-positivos ou Gram-negativos. Esta descrição apresenta a botriomicose cutânea em brasileiro causada por Staphylococcus aureus.


Botryomycosis is a chronic infectious suppurative and granulomatous disease caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria that form pseudo mycotic grains. The skin lesions are plaques and multinodular tumors with ulceration and formation of fistulae thatcan eliminate grains. The infection affects the skin, with possible dissemination to viscerae. It is relatively rare, and its diagnosis can be achieved through the biopsy of lesions and culture of granules from positive Gram-positive and Gram-negative cocci secretions. This description shows a case of skin botryomycosis in Brazil caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

RESUMO

Staphylococcus aureus is emerging globally. Treatment of infections is complicated by increasing antibiotic resistance. We collected clinical data and swabs of returnees with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) at 13 travel-clinics in Europe (www.staphtrav.eu). Sixty-two percent (196/318) SSTI patients had S. aureus-positive lesions, of which almost two-thirds (122/196) were Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) positive. PVL was associated with disease severity, including hospitalization for SSTI (OR 5.2, 95% CI 1.5-18.2). In returnees with SSTI, longer travel and more intense population contact were risk factors for nasal colonization with PVL-positive S. aureus. Imported S. aureus frequently proved resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (21%), erythromycin (21%), tetracycline (20%), ciprofloxacin (13%), methicillin (12%) and clindamycin (8%). Place of exposure was significantly (p < 0.05) associated with predominant resistance phenotypes and spa genotypes: Latin America (methicillin; t008/CC24/304), Africa (tetracycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; t084/CC84, t314/singleton, t355/CC355), South Asia (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin; t021/CC21/318), South-East Asia (clindamycin; t159/CC272). USA300-like isolates accounted for 30% of all methicillin-resistant S. aureus imported to Europe and were predominantly (71%) acquired in Latin America. Multi-resistance to non-ß-lactams were present in 24% of imports and associated with travel to South Asia (ORcrude 5.3, 95% CI 2.4-11.8), even after adjusting for confounding by genotype (ORadjusted 3.8, 95% 1.5-9.5). Choosing randomly from compounds recommended for the empiric treatment of severe S. aureus SSTI, 15% of cases would have received ineffective antimicrobial therapy. These findings call for the development of regionally stratified guidance on the antibiotic management of severe imported S. aureus disease and put the infected and colonized traveller at the centre of interventions against the global spread of multi-resistant S. aureus.

RESUMO

Introducción. La candidiasis cutánea es una enfermedad que afecta tanto a población infantil como adulta. Las forma de presentación puede ser localizada o sistémica y el agente etiológico múltiple, siendo las especies infecciosas de Candida albicans más prevalentes en niños. Objetivo. Presentar un caso de candidiasis cutánea congénita cuya causa aparente fue la transmisión vertical durante el parto. Material y metodología. Se describe el caso de un recién nacido a término expuesto a una candidiasis vaginal subclínica, que desarrolló una candidiasis cutánea congénita por C. albicans asociada a sepsis y dificultad respiratoria en las primeras 24 horas de vida. Se practicaron hemocultivos, biopsia cutánea de las lesiones pápulopústulo-vesiculosas, análisis de sangre y punción lumbar. Resultados. En la bioquímica y el hemograma se encontró una proteína C reactiva de 5,7 mg/dl, leucocitosis con desviación a la izquierda y anemia leve. A las 24 horas, en el control se encontró una proteína C reactiva (7,82 mg/dl) que fue en aumento progresivo durante tres días, por lo que se practicó punción lumbar. El hemocultivo fue positivo para Staphylococcus aureus. La biopsia cutánea dio como resultado histológico la candidiasis cutánea. Conclusiones. El diagnóstico precoz es fundamental para prevenir complicaciones derivadas del cuadro producido por C. albicans en neonatos.


Introduction. Cutaneous candidiasis is a disease that affects children as well as adults. The presentation may be localized or systemic, and with multiple etiological agents. The most prevalent infecting species in children differs from that of the adult. Objective. A case is presented where a congenital cutaneous candidiasis was transmitted to the child during birth. Materials and methods. A full term newborn was exposed to a subclinical vaginal candidiasis infection, and 24 hr after birth, developed congenital cutaneous candidiasis. The etiological agent was Candida albicans, and was associated with sepsis and respiratory distress. Blood cultures, cutaneous biopsy of vesicular lesions, blood tests and lumbar puncture were performed. Results. Biochemistry and blood count showed a CRP of 5.7 mg/dl, leukocytosis with left shift and mild anemia. After 24 hr, the blood analyses showed an increase in a CRP (7.8 mg/dl) and increased progressively for three days; consequently, a lumbar puncture was performed. Blood culture was positive for Staphylococcus aureus. Cutaneous biopsy confirmed the cutaneous candidiasis. Conclusions. The early diagnosis is essential to prevent complications derived by the Candida albicans in newborns.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This case report aims to raise awareness in chiropractic physicians of the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in adolescents who participate in sports activities and to alert the chiropractic physician of the necessity to consider potential diagnoses that are not within their typical clinical heuristic. CLINICAL FEATURES: A 16-year-old adolescent girl entered the clinic with a complaint of left knee pain that had an insidious onset during her involvement in sports activities. Later that same day, her knee became enlarged, red, and had pustular formations with a discharge. She was taken to an urgent care facility and subsequently diagnosed with MRSA. Her history included treatment of a left knee musculoskeletal condition 6 weeks prior to which she had responded favorably. INTERVENTIONS AND OUTCOMES: She was treated medically with an aggressive course of antibiotic therapy and excision of the furuncle. The chiropractic physician played a role in patient education and notifying local school authorities of the case. CONCLUSION: Doctors of chiropractic must prepare themselves for the unexpected and remain open to diagnostic possibilities outside of the normal scope of practice. Knee pain or cellulitis of any type may require additional diagnostic and patient care protocols to make the correct diagnosis. With the incidence of community-acquired MRSA increasing at an alarming rate, it is certainly a diagnosis doctors of chiropractic should be aware of when treating patients, especially those involved in sports activities.

Objective To study the antimicrobial susceptibility of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from children with infectious skin diseases in Beijing area and to investigate the prevalance of community acquired methicillin-resistant S.aureus (MRSA).Methods S.aureus was isolated from 600 outpatients with infectious skin diseases in Beijing Children's ospital.The susceptibility of these isolates to 14 antimi crobial agents was determined by agar dilution method according to the guidelines from Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI).Results Totally,451 S.aureus strains were isolated.Of them,93.8% were resistant to penicillin,87.6% to erythromycin,71.6% to lindamycin,37.3% to etracycline,13.3% to chloramphenicol,6.4% to gentamicin,1.6%to oxacillin,2.2% to ciprofloxacin,0.4% to cefazolin,0.2% to cefuroxime and mupirocin.No resistance was found to vancomycin,ceffriaxone or fusidic acid.Conclusions The results suggest that penicillin and erythromycin are no longer the appropriate agents for the treatment of S.aureus.The prevalance of MRSA iS 1.6% in children with infectious skin diseases in Beijing area.Oxacillin and cephalosporin are recommended for systemic treatment of community acquired MRSA,and mupirocin or fusidic acid for its topical treatment.

RESUMO

Objective To study microbial flora on skin lesions and their antim icrobial susceptibilities and to conduct a topical treatment trial in atopic der matitis (AD). Methods Seventy one patients with AD were diagnosed according to the criteria of Hanifin-Rajka′s in departments of dermatology in China-Japan Friendship Hospital and Beijing Children Hospital during November,2001 to March, 2002. Bacteria and fungi were examined by culture and microscopy. Among 71 case s, 66 were divided into two groups randomly with one group receiving 1%econazol e+0.1%triamcinolone acetonide cream topically twice daily for 4 weeks, and the control group receiving 0.1%hydrocortisone butyrate ointment. Severity of AD w as measured by SCORAD index. Results It was shown that AD mainly affected infant s and children with a prevalence of 73.24%in patients less than 12 years old. T he rates of bacterial and fungal colonization were 53.51%, 1.41%, respectively on skin lesions. S.aureus was detected in 35.21%of patients with AD. Antimicro bial susceptibility test indicated that S.aureus was sensitive to rifampin, vanc omycin, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, cefazolin, cefuroxime, etc. It was found that 1 %econazole+0.1%triamcinolone acetonide cream had significantly more advantage over hydrocortisone butyrate ointment in the therapeutical effects (P
