Abstract

Background: Empyema is a problem worldwide due to its high incidence, mortality, and morbidity rates. So, administering antibiotics is mandatory to treat the disease. It should be sensitive to the causal microorganisms and avoid resistant ones for treatment efficacy. This research aimed to determine bacterial profile and antimicrobial resistance, which can be fundamental foundations for clinical practices in the treatment of patients, especially in Pekanbaru.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study from medical records at Arifin Achmad and Eka Hospitals from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2022, including culture and antibiotic resistance test results with samples from pleural fluid and antibiotic susceptibility test using VITEK 2.0.Results: A total of 197 pleural fluid specimens were obtained. Gram-negative bacteria were found to be the most prevalent at 79.7%, namely Klebsiella pneumoniae (18.5%), Escherichia coli (12.0%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (11.0%). Gram-positive bacteria were found at 12.2%, the most common being Staphylococcus aureus (6.1%) and Enterococcus faecalis (2.0%). Antibiotic sensitivity tests for Gram-negative bacteria showed that amikacin and tigecycline were the most sensitive, and Gram-positive bacteria showed the most sensitivity to linezolid, tigecycline, and vancomycin. The resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli to cephalosporins was 18.5% and 75.0%, respectively. The resistance of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to carbapenems was 8.0%, 13.0%, and 53.0%, respectively.Conclusion: Gram-negative is the most common microorganism found in pleural empyema. The resistance of multiresistant bacteria to antibiotics is high and requires supervision to apply appropriate antibiotic administration based on local antimicrobial patterns and the need to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship programs.

Abstract

Background: : Factors related to the severity and the outcome of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) are emerging subjects of interest to be studied. Smoking has long been known to have a negative impact on the response to infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between smoking habits with the severity, the length of hospitalization and the outcome of COVID19 patients.Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study of COVID-19 patients admitted at Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. Subjects were included by consecutive sampling from August to October 2021. Subjects were assigned into smokers and non-smokers group. All subjects were assessed for their severity, length of hospitalization and outcome; in smoking patients, the Brinkman Index (IB) and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependent (FTND) score were also recorded. Statistical tests were then carried out to assess the significant association between smoking history and the degree of severity, length of hospitalization and outcome of COVID-19 in all patients and the FTND and IB scores with the degree of severity, length of hospitalization and outcome of COVID-19 in smokers.Results: Authors found that 39/100 (39%) of participants were smokers. Smoking history had a correlation with the outcome (p=0.001) but not with the degree of severity (p=0.410) and length of hospitalization (p=0.780). Among subjects with smoking history, there were correlations found between FTND and the degree of severity and the outcome (p=0.022 and p=0.012), but not with the length of hospitalization (p=0.716). The Brinkman Index was correlated with only the degree of severity (p=0.020).Conclusion: Our study found that smoking habits were correlated with the degree of severity and outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
