Patient Isolation
The segregation of patients with communicable or other diseases for a specified time. Isolation may be strict, in which movement and social contacts are limited; modified, where an effort to control specified aspects of care is made in order to prevent cross infection; or reverse, where the patient is secluded in a controlled or germ-free environment in order to protect him or her from cross infection.
Immunological reconstitution and correlation of circulating serum inflammatory mediators/cytokines with the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease during the first 100 days following unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation. (1/231)
We investigated early immunological reconstitution and the production of circulating inflammatory mediators and their relationship to aGVHD in children during the first 100 days following unrelated UCBT. Nine patients had an underlying malignant disease (ALL, ANLL), and two, non-malignant diseases (SAA, ALD). The median age was 10 years (range: 1.25-21). Seven of 11 patients were alive by day 100, two died from regimen-related toxicity, and two died from severe aGVHD (grade >/=III). Myeloid engraftment (ANC >/=500/mm3 x 2 days) occurred at a median of 24 days (range: 14-55), while platelet engraftment (platelet count >/=20 000/mm3 untransfused x 7 days) was delayed and occurred at a median of 52 days (range: 33-95). The mean cell dose of CD34+ cells was 3.3 +/- 3.51 x 10(5)/kg, and of CD34+/CD41+ cells was 3.94 +/- 3.99 x 10(4)/kg. Acute GVHD (grade II-IV) developed in seven patients (77%), and severe aGVHD (grade III-IV) developed in five patients (55%). Serum levels of IL-2Ralpha, IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-12, and IFNgamma were not significantly different between patients with grades 0-I aGVHD and patients with grades II-IV aGVHD. Evaluation of immunological reconstitution on day 90 post UCBT demonstrated an early recovery of the absolute numbers of B cells (CD19+) and NK cells (CD3-/CD56+). Immunoglobulin levels for IgG, IgM and IgA remained normal throughout the study period. PMN functional studies demonstrated normal superoxide generation, bacterial killing (BK), and chemotaxis (CTX). However, both helper (CD3+/CD4+) and suppressor (CD3+/CD8+) T cell subsets remained low during the first 100 days post UCBT with mean +/- s.e.m. values of 120 +/- 29/mm3 and 10 +/- 50/mm3, respectively (normal = 900-2860/mm3 (CD3/CD4), normal = 630-1910/mm3 (CD3/CD8)). Mitogen response studies showed low blastogenesis to PHA and PWM, with a mean c.p.m. +/- s.e.m. value of 1.7 +/- 0.67 x 10(4) for PHA (NL >/= 75 x 10(3)) and 8.42 +/- 4.1 x 10(3) for PWM (NL >/=25 x 10(3)). In conclusion, serum levels of inflammatory mediators were not predictive nor did they correlate with the severity of aGVHD. Recovery of NK cells, B cells, and PMN functions occurred within the first 90 days post transplant. However, T cell subsets, CD3+/CD4+ and CD3+/CD8+, and T cell functional activity remained significantly decreased and may account for the high incidence of infectious morbidity seen during this immediate post UCBT period. (+info)Comparison of direct and concentrated acid-fast smears to identify specimens culture positive for Mycobacterium spp. (2/231)
Microscopic examination of respiratory specimens for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) plays a key role in the initial diagnosis of tuberculosis, monitoring of treatment, and determination of eligibility for release from isolation. The objective of this study was to compare the sensitivity obtained with smears for detection of AFB (AFB smears) made directly from respiratory specimens (direct AFB smears) to that obtained with parallel smears made from concentrates of the specimens (concentrated AFB smears). A total of 2,693 specimens were evaluated; 1,806 were from the University of California Irvine Medical Center Medical Microbiology Laboratory (UCIMC), which serves a tertiary-care hospital with outpatient clinics, and 887 were from the Microbial Disease Laboratory at the California Department of Public Health (MDL), which receives specimens from outpatient facilities and clinics on Pacific islands. Of the 353 AFB culture-positive specimens at UCIMC, there was a statistically significant difference in the sensitivity of the direct AFB smear (34%) and that of the smear made from the concentrated specimen (58%) (P < 0.05). This was also true for the 208 specimens positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis, for which the sensitivity of the direct smear was 42% (87 of 208) and that for the smear made from the concentrated specimen was 74% (154 of 208). At MDL, where all but 1 of the 45 culture-positive specimens grew M. tuberculosis, the sensitivity of the smear made from the concentrated specimen was 93% (42 of 45) and was not significantly higher than the sensitivity of the direct smear, which was 82% (37 of 45). By combining the results from both laboratories, 42 patients from whom at least three specimens were received were culture positive for M. tuberculosis. The cumulative results for the initial three specimens from these patients showed that the direct smear detected M. tuberculosis in 81% of these patients, whereas the smear made from the concentrate detected M. tuberculosis in 91% of these patients. In summary, when all culture-positive specimens are considered, the sensitivity of the direct smear compared to that of a smear made from the concentrated specimen was significantly different overall in the two different laboratory settings. However, this difference was reduced only if the cumulative results for the initial three specimens received from patients who were culture positive for M. tuberculosis were evaluated. (+info)Infectious complications after autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation followed by G-CSF. (3/231)
Infectious complications after autologous peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation (PBPCT) have been reported in a few studies including small patient numbers. The present study was performed to assess the incidence, types, outcome and factors affecting early and late infections in 150 patients aged 18 to 68 years (median 46.5) who underwent high-dose therapy, with G-CSF. Patients were kept in reverse isolation rooms and received antimicrobial chemoprophylaxis with oral quinolone and fluconazole. One hundred and fifteen patients (76.7%) developed fever (median 3 days, range 1-29); 20 patients (55.5%) had Gram-positive and 13 (36. 2%) Gram-negative bacterial infections. There were no fungal infections or infection-related deaths. Mucositis grade II-IV (P = 0. 0001; odds ratio 3.4) and >5 days on ANC <100/microl (P = 0.0001; odds ratio 2.3) correlated with development of infection. Only days with ANC <100/microl affected infection outcome (P = 0.0024) whereas the antibiotic regimen did not. After day +30 there were four cases of bacterial pneumonitis (2.7%), one case of fatal CMV pneumonia (0. 8%) and 20 of localized VZV infection (13.3%). Reduction of neutropenia duration with PBPCT and G-CSF is not enough to prevent early infectious complications since only a few days of severe neutropenia and mucositis are related to development of early infections. However, no infection-related deaths were seen. Although Gram-positive organisms were the major cause of bacteremia, a glycopeptide in the empirical antibiotic regimen did not affect infection outcome. In PBPCT recipients, early and late opportunistic infections were notably absent, which was at variance with what was seen with bone marrow recipients. Efforts should be made to prevent mucositis and neutropenia and identify new strategies of antibacterial prophylaxis. (+info)Mental disturbances during isolation in bone marrow transplant patients with leukemia. (4/231)
The mental status of 39 leukemia patients, who received bone marrow transplants (BMT), was studied during the period of isolation. Mental disorders (diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria) occurred in 16 patients (41%) during the observation period. The most frequent diagnoses were adjustment disorders, with anxiety and/or depression. Logistic regression analysis suggested higher Tension-Anxiety score in the Profile of Mood States (POMS) prior to isolation (P = 0.011), donation of the bone marrow from unrelated subjects (P = 0.026) and in female patients (P = 0.033). The results are preliminary, but indicate a high frequency of mental disturbances and highlight the importance of psychiatric intervention in BMT patients. Bone Marrow Transplantation (2000) 25, 315-318. (+info)Attempts to control clothes-borne infection in a burn unit, 2. Clothing routines in clinical use and the epidemiology of cross-colonization. (5/231)
Previous investigations have shown that cross-contamination in a burn unit is mainly clothes-borne. New barrier garments have been designed and tried experimentally. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of different clothing routines on cross-contamination. In a long-term study, the rates and routes of colonizations with Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus groups A, B, C, F, and G and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were examined. The exogenous colonization rates were, with S. aureus 77%, with Streptococcus species 52% and with Ps. aeruginosa 32%. The colonization rate with Ps. aeruginosa was higher in patients with larger burns. Patients dispersed Streptococcus and Ps. aeruginosa as well as S. aureus into the air of their rooms in considerable amounts, but dispersers were not more important as sources of cross-colonization than non-dispersers. In comparison of clothing routines, there was no difference in overall colonization rates. The newly designed barrier garment that was made from apparently particle-tight material did not reduce the transfer of bacteria from patient to patient. A less rigid routine than that previously used did not increase the risk of cross-contamination. A thorough change of barrier dress after close contact nursing delayed the first exogenous S. aureus colonization from day 6 to day 14 after admission. This routine might be recommended for clinical use. Otherwise, methods must be developed for adequate selection of materials intended for barrier garments. (+info)Risk of Cryptosporidium parvum transmission between hospital roommates. (6/231)
Patients with active diarrhea caused by infection with Cryptosporidium parvum can potentially contaminate the environment, which could serve as a risk for transmission to other patients in a hospital setting. A retrospective cohort study was performed to quantify the risk of nosocomial roommate-to-roommate transmission of Cryptosporidium and to evaluate the need for isolation of Cryptosporidium-infected patients. Thirty-seven human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected roommates of 21 index patients with Cryptosporidium were identified between 1994 and 1996. Each exposed roommate (median CD4 cell count, 27cells/mm(3)) was matched to an HIV-infected, unexposed roommate with a similar CD4 cell count (median, 24 cells/mm(3)) who was present in the hospital during the same month but was not a roommate of a patient with Cryptosporidium infection. No patients with Cryptosporidium were identified among the 37 exposed roommates, and 1 case was identified among the 37 unexposed roommates. The risk ratio for chronic diarrhea was 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.23-2.75) and for death was 1.04 (95% CI, 0.75-1.44). These results suggest that isolation of adult patients with Cryptosporidium diarrhea is not necessary to prevent roommate-to-roommate transmission of Cryptosporidium. (+info)The law, human rights, and the detention of individuals with tuberculosis in England and Wales. (7/231)
BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis poses a global public health threat, and individuals who fail to comply with treatment risk developing drug-resistant strains, which are a serious public health concern. A number of individuals who have been deemed to pose a 'serious risk of infection' to others have been detained in recent years in England and Wales under the Public Health Act 1984. With the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) into British law due to take effect shortly this paper examines the justness of Sections 37 and 38 of the Act, and asks whether the Act stands up to scrutiny under the ECHR. METHODS: A critical review, including an examination of recently opened relevant files at the Public Record Office, was carried out on Sections 37 and 38 of the Public Health Act 1984. RESULTS: Sections 37 and 38 of the Public Health Act 1984 fail to provide sufficient safeguards from abuse and fall short of the requirements of the ECHR. CONCLUSIONS: Sections 37 and 38 should be replaced. Greater safeguards to protect the rights of those with infectious diseases are needed. (+info)Risks and prevention of nosocomial transmission of rare zoonotic diseases. (8/231)
Americans are increasingly exposed to exotic zoonotic diseases through travel, contact with exotic pets, occupational exposure, and leisure pursuits. Appropriate isolation precautions are required to prevent nosocomial transmission of rare zoonotic diseases for which person-to-person transmission has been documented. This minireview provides guidelines for the isolation of patients and management of staff exposed to the following infectious diseases with documented person-to-person transmission: Andes hantavirus disease, anthrax, B virus infection, hemorrhagic fevers (due to Ebola, Marburg, Lassa, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, Argentine hemorrhagic fever, and Bolivian hemorrhagic fever viruses), monkeypox, plague, Q fever, and rabies. Several of these infections may also be encountered as bioterrorism hazards (i.e., anthrax, hemorrhagic fever viruses, plague, and Q fever). Adherence to recommended isolation precautions will allow for proper patient care while protecting the health care workers who provide care to patients with known or suspected zoonotic infections capable of nosocomial transmission.
