Abstract

Introduction: Bacteremia poses a significant health risk due to its frequently atypical presentation and potential progression to sepsis. Understanding its clinical profiles and causative pathogens is essential for timely diagnosis and effective management. This study examined the characteristics of bacteremia cases in 2022 at Universitas Airlangga Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive observational study was conducted utilizing hospitalized bacteremia patients' medical records. A total of 107 patients met the inclusion criteria, which required positive blood cultures along with complete data on age (≥19 years), sex, comorbidities, clinical manifestations, bacterial infection diagnosis, outcomes, and pathogen characteristics. Medical records failing to meet these criteria were excluded. The data were categorized and analyzed by variables. Results: Bacteremia predominantly affected patients aged >65 years (36.4%), males (50.5%), and those with diabetes (54.2%) and with pneumonia (79.4%). Key symptoms included tachycardia (55.1%), tachypnea (55.1%), anemia (65.4%), and leukocytosis (71.0%), despite normal vitals observed in numerous cases. Gram-positive bacteria were most prevalent (69.7%), mainly Staphylococcus hominis (18.7%). Escherichia coli (9.3%) was the leading Gram-negative isolate, while extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) strains (4.2%) were the primary multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO). Sepsis and septic shock were equally prevalent (35.5%). Mortality (64.5%) occurred primarily due to septic shock (49.3%). Conclusion: Sepsis and septic shock frequently occur in older males with diabetes and pneumonia. Key symptoms include frequent tachycardia, tachypnea, anemia, and leukocytosis. Septic shock, the leading cause of death in bacteremia patients, frequently occurs alongside infections by Staphylococcus hominis and ESBL-producing Escherichia coli.   Highlights: 1. This study offers fresh perspectives on the clinical profiles of hospitalized bacteremia patients and the characteristics of causative bacteria at Universitas Airlangga Hospital, a topic that has been minimally explored in the Indonesian medical community. 2. It highlights the prevalence of bacteremia, its clinical manifestations, and outcomes to determine the mortality rate of hospitalized bacteremia patients. 3. This study provides valuable data that can help inform future infection control strategies to manage and prevent bloodstream infections, hence enhancing healthcare outcomes by emphasizing the importance of improving clinical data collection and monitoring.

Abstract

Highlights: • This study examined patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) to find the prevalent bacteria and the frequency of antibiotic use. • Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli sensitive to amikacin was found to be the most common pathogen in CAUTI, while ceftriaxone was the most commonly used antibiotic. Abstract Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most typical type of infection associated with healthcare. This infection constitutes a significant health problem due to its complications and frequent recurrence. The high annual incidence of CAUTI leads to infectious complications and a high cost of treatment. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria further complicate the problem because multiresistant pathogenic bacteria are often responsible for these infections. Moreover, the lack of a comprehensive case reporting system in Indonesia hinders the determination of CAUTI incidence. This study aimed to determine the bacterial profile and antibiotic use in CAUTI patients (n=22) at the Internal Medicine Inpatient Unit of Dr. Soetomo General Academic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia. This retrospective descriptive study collected data from patient medical records to describe the incidence, type of bacteria, sensitivity patterns, and antibiotic use in CAUTI patients. The data collection process included collecting medical records, recording information on data collection sheets, and recapitulating and analyzing the data. The criteria for CAUTI diagnosis were a bacterial count of ≥105 CFU/mL and a catheterization that lasted more than 48 hours. Samples were selected using non-probability sampling, also known as saturation sampling. Meanwhile, variables analyzed in this study were the type of pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics used, age, and sex. Descriptive analysis was employed to analyze the data. The findings suggested that the most common bacteria were Escherichia coli, with eight of nine bacteria showing extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) production. Female patients aged 35–65 years were the majority of the CAUTI patients. Amikacin was the antibiotic with the highest sensitivity (90.9%), while ceftriaxone was the most common type of antibiotic administered to the patients. In addition, intravenous (IV) administration was the most common route of antibiotic administration, with an average therapy duration of seven days. In conclusion, identifying the type of pathogenic bacteria and performing antibiotic susceptibility testing can help minimize antibiotic resistance and prevent more severe complications in CAUTI patients.

Abstract

ABSTRACT HIV infection in pregnancy is at risk of causing various complications in the mother and fetus, one of which is congenital abnormalities. This study aims to determine the prevalence of congenital abnormalities in pregnancy of women with HIV / AIDS. Retrospective descriptive study with cross-sectional design using medical record data of HIV-positive pregnant women at Dr. Soetomo Surabaya Hospital for the 2020-2022 period. There were 108 pregnant women with HIV, 3 of whom (2.8%) had congenital abnormalities in the fetus in the form of hydrocephalus, Dandy-Walker syndrome, and CPAM. Suspected to be associated with opportunistic infections and embryo-toxic effects of the ARV drug efavirenz. In pregnant women with HIV at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, 3 (2.8%) pregnant women experience congenital abnormalities in the fetus, for that it is necessary to prevent and early detection of complications during pregnancy, as well as the selection of ARV regimens that are safer for fetal development. Keywords: Pregnancy With HIV/AIDS, HIV/AIDS, Congenital Abnormalities  ABSTRAK Infeksi HIV pada kehamilan berisiko menyebabkan berbagai komplikasi pada ibu dan janin, salah satunya kelainan bawaan.

Abstract

Infeksi merupakan penyebab utama morbiditas, mortalitas, dan rawat inap pada populasi lanjut usia. Peningkatan usia harapan hidup menyebabkan proporsi individu ?65 tahun dengan multimorbiditas dan kerentanan terhadap infeksi semakin tinggi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara komprehensif epidemiologi, faktor risiko, patofisiologi, manifestasi klinis, serta pendekatan diagnosis, tatalaksana, dan pencegahan infeksi pada pasien geriatri. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur dengan menelaah berbagai publikasi ilmiah terkait infeksi pada lanjut usia di berbagai setting pelayanan kesehatan, termasuk komunitas, rumah sakit, dan fasilitas perawatan jangka panjang. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa infeksi yang paling umum pada lanjut usia meliputi pneumonia, infeksi saluran kemih, sepsis, serta infeksi kulit dan jaringan lunak. Faktor risiko utama mencakup imunosenesens, inflamaging, malnutrisi, frailty, komorbiditas kronik, serta paparan lingkungan medis seperti penggunaan alat invasif dan antibiotik spektrum luas. Manifestasi klinis sering bersifat atipikal sehingga berpotensi menyebabkan keterlambatan diagnosis. Tatalaksana memerlukan pendekatan individual dengan mempertimbangkan perubahan farmakokinetik dan farmakodinamik pada lanjut usia, serta pentingnya antimicrobial stewardship. Kesimpulannya, infeksi pada geriatri merupakan kondisi kompleks yang memerlukan pendekatan multidisiplin, deteksi dini, serta strategi pencegahan yang komprehensif guna menurunkan beban penyakit dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup pasien.
