Clindamycin plus gentamicin as expectant therapy for presumed mixed infections. (1/5981)
The prevalence of obligate anaerobes was studied prospectively in 60 patients with severe sepsis of intra-abdominal, soft tissue, female genital or oropulmonary origin. In addition, the efficacy of clindamycin (for anaerobes) plus gentamicin (for aerobic bacteria, especially coliforms) as initial empiric therapy in these patients was evaluated. Among 54 patients with cultural proof of infection, anaerobic pathogens were recovered from 52%. Nineteen patients had bacteremia; Bacteroides fragilis and Klebsiella pneumoniae were the most prevalent pathogens, being isolated in five patients each. Infection was eradicated in 56 of the 60 patients (93%). Mortality related to sepsis was 7% in the entire group, 16% in patients with bacteremia and 2% in patients without bacteremia. Eighty-five percent of aerobic isolates tested were susceptible in vitro to either gentamicin or clindamycin; 97% of anaerobic isolates were inhibited by 5 mug/ml of clindamycin. (+info)Effect of warfarin on the induction and course of experimental endocarditis. (2/5981)
The effect of warfarin treatment on an experimental endocarditis was studied in rabbits. Warfarin had no effect on the induction of a Streptococcus sanguis infection in catheter-induced endocardial vegetations, and the course of this infection was also unaltered. However, warfarin treatment resulted in rapidly progressive bacteremia, probably due to impaired circulation in clearing organs such as the lungs, liver, and spleen. Warfarin also reduced the survival time of the infected rabbits, in which pulmonary edema and extensive lung hemorrhages may have been a contributory factor. (+info)HLA-DR expression and soluble HLA-DR levels in septic patients after trauma. (3/5981)
OBJECTIVE: To determine if cellular and soluble HLA-DR molecules may be relevant in severely injured patients for the development of gram-positive or gram-negative sepsis. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: HLA-DR molecules play a central role in the specific immune response to infection. The reduced HLA-DR expression on monocytes is considered to correlate with infectious complications and the development of sepsis. Data on the role of HLA-DR expression on T cells and soluble HLA-DR molecules are rare. METHODS: HLA-DR expression on monocytes and T cells was measured by flow cytometry. Plasma levels of soluble HLA-DR were studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: HLA-DR expression on circulating T cells, calculated as mean fluorescence intensity in channels, was reduced at day 1 after admission in 20 patients with subsequent severe sepsis compared with 46 patients without sepsis. The septic patients immediately after trauma had significantly lower soluble HLA-DR plasma levels than the nonseptic patients. At day 2 after admission, HLA-DR expression on monocytes was significantly lower in the severe sepsis group than in the patients without sepsis, and lasted until day 14 after injury. CONCLUSIONS: In severely injured patients, decreased levels of cellular and soluble HLA-DR appear as early indicators of an immune deviation associated with the development of severe sepsis. Moreover, immune alterations of different cell types may promote distinct kinds of septicemia. (+info)Protective effect of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (rBPI21) in baboon sepsis is related to its antibacterial, not antiendotoxin, properties. (4/5981)
OBJECTIVE AND SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The recombinant fragment of bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein, rBPI21, has potent bactericidal activity against gram-negative bacteria as well as antiendotoxin (lipopolysaccharide [LPS]) action. On the basis of these activities, the authors sought to discover whether rBPI21 would be protective in baboons with live Escherichia coli-induced sepsis and whether the potential protective effects of rBPI21 (together with antibiotics) would be more closely related to its antibacterial or LPS-neutralizing effects. METHODS: In a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled subchronic laboratory study, the efficacy of rBPI21 or placebo was studied over 72 hours in chronically instrumented male baboons infused with live E. coli under antibiotic therapy. RESULTS: Intravenous rBPI21 attenuated sepsis-related organ failure and increased survival significantly. Bacteremia was significantly reduced in the rBPI21 group at 2 hours after the start of the E. coli infusion, whereas circulating LPS was less affected. The in vivo formation of tumor necrosis factor was significantly suppressed by the rBPI21 treatment regimen. Microcirculation and organ function were improved. CONCLUSIONS: In baboon live E. coli sepsis, the salutary effect of rBPI21 results from a more prevalent antibacterial than antiendotoxin activity. (+info)A sustained rat model for studying the long-lasting catabolic state of sepsis. (5/5981)
Most animal models of sepsis induced high mortality or early recovery and do not mimic the long-lasting catabolic state observed in patients. The purpose of this study is to develop a model of sepsis which reproduces these disorders, especially the long-lasting muscle wasting. This report summarizes our observations in a series of seven experiments using this model with rats to study the route of live Escherichia coli administration, dose of bacteria, reproducibility of the model, bacterial count in tissues, comparison of injection of live or dead bacteria, metabolic perturbations linked to infection, and potential role of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in muscle wasting. After intravenous infection, animals were anorexic and the catabolic state was long-lasting: body weight loss for 2 to 3 days followed by a chronic wasting state for several days. Liver, spleen, lung protein content, and plasma concentration of alpha2-macroglobulin were increased 2 and 6 days after infection. At 6 days, muscle protein content was substantially (-40%) reduced. The plasma TNF-alpha level measured 1.5 h after infection correlated with body weight loss observed 9 days later. The inhibition of TNF-alpha secretion by administration of pentoxifylline 1 h before infection reduced muscle wasting and activation of proteolysis at day 2 and abolished them at day 6. This septic model mimics in rats the prolonged protein metabolism alterations and muscle atrophy characteristics of infected patients and thus is useful for studying the impact of nutritional support on outcome. (+info)Early death during chemotherapy in patients with small-cell lung cancer: derivation of a prognostic index for toxic death and progression. (6/5981)
Based on an increased frequency of early death (death within the first treatment cycle) in our two latest randomized trials of combination chemotherapy in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), we wanted to identify patients at risk of early non-toxic death (ENTD) and early toxic death (ETD). Data were stored in a database and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictive factors for early death. During the first cycle, 118 out of 937 patients (12.6%) died. In 38 patients (4%), the cause of death was sepsis. Significant risk factors were age, performance status (PS), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and treatment with epipodophyllotoxins and platinum in the first cycle (EP). Risk factors for ENTD were age, PS and LDH. Extensive stage had a hazard ratio of 1.9 (P = 0.07). Risk factors for ETD were EP, PS and LDH, whereas age and stage were not. For EP, the hazard ratio was as high as 6.7 (P = 0.0001). We introduced a simple prognostic algorithm including performance status, LDH and age. Using a prognostic algorithm to exclude poor-risk patients from trials, we could minimize early death, improve long-term survival and increase the survival differences between different regimens. We suggest that other groups evaluate our algorithm and exclude poor prognosis patients from trials of dose intensification. (+info)Septicemia in dialysis patients: incidence, risk factors, and prognosis. (7/5981)
BACKGROUND: Infection is second to cardiovascular disease as a cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and septicemia causes a majority of these infectious deaths. To identify patients at high risk and to characterize modifiable risk factors for septicemia, we examined the incidence, risk factors, and prognosis for septicemia in a large, representative group of U.S. dialysis patients. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal cohort study of incident ESRD patients in the case-mix study of the U.S. Renal Data System with seven years of follow-up from hospitalization and death records. Poisson regression was used to examine independent risk factors for hospital-managed septicemia. Cox proportional hazards analysis was used to assess the independent effect of septicemia on all-cause mortality and on death from septicemia. Separate analyses were performed for patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD). RESULTS: Over seven years of follow-up, 11.7% of 4005 HD patients and 9.4% of 913 PD patients had at least one episode of septicemia. Older age and diabetes were independent risk factors for septicemia in all patients. Among HD patients, low serum albumin, temporary vascular access, and dialyzer reuse were also associated with increased risk. Among PD patients, white race and having no health insurance at dialysis initiation were also risk factors. Patients with septicemia had twice the risk of death from any cause and a fivefold to ninefold increased risk of death from septicemia. CONCLUSIONS: Septicemia, which carries a marked increased risk of death, occurs frequently in patients on PD as well as HD. Early referral to a nephrologist, improving nutrition, and avoiding temporary vascular access may decrease the incidence of septicemia. Further study of how race, insurance status, and dialyzer reuse can contribute to the risk of septicemia among ESRD patients is indicated. (+info)Characteristics of a strain of Clostridium carnis causing septicaemia in a young infant. (8/5981)
Clostridium carnis is a species which is only rarely isolated from man or animals and is occasionally found in the soil. This paper is an account of a single isolate found in blood cultures obtained from an 8-week-old boy who was suffering from gastroenteritis. (+info)Sepsis is a serious medical condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection causes widespread inflammation throughout the body. It is a life-threatening condition that can lead to organ failure, septic shock, and even death if not treated promptly and effectively. Sepsis can develop from any type of infection, including bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections. The body's immune system responds to the infection by releasing chemicals called cytokines, which can cause inflammation throughout the body. This inflammation can damage tissues and organs, leading to a range of symptoms, including fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, confusion, and decreased urine output. Diagnosis of sepsis typically involves a combination of clinical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to treat the underlying infection, as well as supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications. In severe cases, treatment may include fluid resuscitation, vasopressors to maintain blood pressure, and organ support. Early recognition and prompt treatment of sepsis are critical for improving outcomes and reducing the risk of death.
In the medical field, "Shock, Septic" refers to a severe and life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an infection, leading to widespread inflammation and damage to organs and tissues. Septic shock is a type of sepsis, which is a condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection causes inflammation throughout the body. In septic shock, the immune system releases large amounts of chemicals that cause blood vessels to narrow and blood pressure to drop, leading to reduced blood flow to vital organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. Symptoms of septic shock may include fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, rapid breathing, confusion, and decreased urine output. Treatment for septic shock typically involves antibiotics to treat the underlying infection, fluids and medications to maintain blood pressure and oxygen levels, and supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications.，。
Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) is a medical condition characterized by a widespread inflammatory response in the body. It is a response to an injury or infection that triggers the release of inflammatory mediators, such as cytokines and chemokines, into the bloodstream. SIRS can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, trauma, burns, surgery, and certain medical conditions such as sepsis and pancreatitis. The symptoms of SIRS can include fever or hypothermia, tachycardia (fast heart rate), tachypnea (fast breathing), and leukocytosis (increased white blood cell count). SIRS is often considered a precursor to sepsis, which is a more severe form of systemic inflammation that can lead to organ failure and death if not treated promptly. Treatment for SIRS typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the inflammation and providing supportive care to manage symptoms such as fever, pain, and fluid imbalances.
Multiple Organ Failure (MOF) is a medical condition in which two or more organs in the body fail to function properly. It is a serious and life-threatening condition that can occur in patients with severe illnesses or injuries, such as sepsis, trauma, or major surgery. MOF can lead to a cascade of events that can cause further organ damage and failure, leading to a decline in overall health and organ function. The organs most commonly affected by MOF include the lungs, kidneys, liver, and heart. The diagnosis of MOF is typically made by monitoring the function of multiple organs using laboratory tests, imaging studies, and clinical assessments. Treatment for MOF typically involves addressing the underlying cause of the organ failure, providing supportive care to maintain organ function, and managing any complications that may arise. If left untreated, MOF can lead to multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), which is a more severe form of organ failure that can be fatal. Therefore, early recognition and prompt treatment of MOF are critical for improving outcomes in patients with this condition.
Bacteremia is a medical condition in which bacteria are present in the bloodstream. It is a serious condition that can lead to sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection causes widespread inflammation and organ damage. Bacteremia can be caused by a variety of bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. It can be diagnosed through blood cultures, which involve taking a sample of blood and growing the bacteria in a laboratory to confirm the presence of the bacteria. Treatment for bacteremia typically involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria and manage the symptoms of the infection.
Endotoxemia is a condition in which the body is exposed to endotoxins, which are toxins produced by certain types of bacteria that live inside the body, particularly in the gut. These toxins can be released into the bloodstream when the bacteria die or when the gut lining is damaged, leading to an inflammatory response in the body. Endotoxemia can occur in a variety of medical conditions, including sepsis, pneumonia, and inflammatory bowel disease. Symptoms of endotoxemia can include fever, chills, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and confusion. In severe cases, endotoxemia can lead to organ failure and death. Treatment for endotoxemia typically involves supportive care, such as fluid replacement and medications to manage symptoms and reduce inflammation. In some cases, antibiotics may be used to treat the underlying bacterial infection that is causing the endotoxemia.
Critical illness refers to a severe and potentially life-threatening medical condition that requires immediate medical attention and hospitalization. These conditions can be acute or chronic and can affect any part of the body. Examples of critical illnesses include heart attacks, strokes, organ failure, sepsis, and severe infections. Critical illnesses can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors. They can also be triggered by other medical conditions or treatments. Treatment for critical illnesses typically involves hospitalization, intensive medical care, and sometimes surgery. In some cases, long-term rehabilitation and ongoing medical care may be necessary. Critical illnesses can have a significant impact on a person's physical and emotional well-being, as well as their ability to work and participate in daily activities. It is important for individuals to have access to appropriate medical care and support to help manage their condition and improve their quality of life.
Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the parafollicular cells, also known as C cells, of the thyroid gland. It plays a role in regulating calcium levels in the blood by inhibiting the release of calcium from bones and increasing calcium excretion in the kidneys. Calcitonin is typically released in response to an increase in blood calcium levels, such as after a meal or during pregnancy. It is also produced by the medullary thyroid carcinoma, a rare type of thyroid cancer. Calcitonin is used as a diagnostic tool to help diagnose medullary thyroid carcinoma and is also used as a treatment for osteoporosis and hypercalcemia.
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are a type of complex carbohydrate found on the surface of gram-negative bacteria. They are composed of a lipid A moiety, a core polysaccharide, and an O-specific polysaccharide. LPS are important components of the bacterial cell wall and play a role in the innate immune response of the host. In the medical field, LPS are often studied in the context of sepsis, a life-threatening condition that occurs when the body's response to an infection causes widespread inflammation. LPS can trigger a strong immune response in the host, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and other mediators that can cause tissue damage and organ failure. As a result, LPS are often used as a model for studying the pathophysiology of sepsis and for developing new treatments for this condition. LPS are also used in research as a tool for studying the immune system and for developing vaccines against bacterial infections. They can be purified from bacterial cultures and used to stimulate immune cells in vitro or in animal models, allowing researchers to study the mechanisms of immune responses to bacterial pathogens. Additionally, LPS can be used as an adjuvant in vaccines to enhance the immune response to the vaccine antigen.
Peritonitis is a medical condition characterized by the inflammation of the peritoneum, which is the thin, flexible membrane that lines the inside of the abdominal cavity. The peritoneum plays an important role in protecting the abdominal organs and helping to move them around the body. Peritonitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacterial infections, viral infections, parasitic infections, and physical injury to the peritoneum. It can also be caused by the spread of infection from another part of the body, such as the urinary tract or the reproductive system. Symptoms of peritonitis can include abdominal pain, fever, nausea and vomiting, abdominal tenderness, and a low-grade fever. In severe cases, peritonitis can lead to sepsis, a life-threatening condition characterized by widespread inflammation throughout the body. Treatment for peritonitis typically involves antibiotics to treat the underlying infection, as well as supportive care to manage symptoms and prevent complications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove infected tissue or drain fluid from the abdomen.
Bacterial infections are caused by bacteria, which are single-celled microorganisms that can be found almost everywhere in the environment, including on our skin and in our digestive tracts. When bacteria enter the body and multiply, they can cause illness and disease. Bacterial infections can affect any part of the body and can range from mild to severe. Some common examples of bacterial infections include strep throat, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, meningitis, and skin infections. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics, which are medications that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. However, it is important to use antibiotics properly and only when necessary, as overuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, which makes it more difficult to treat bacterial infections in the future.
In the medical field, "Infant, Newborn, Diseases" refers to illnesses or medical conditions that affect infants and newborns. These diseases can range from minor infections to more serious conditions that require immediate medical attention. Some common diseases that can affect infants and newborns include respiratory infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, gastrointestinal infections, such as diarrhea and vomiting, and infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Other conditions that can affect infants and newborns include jaundice, congenital anomalies, and birth defects. Infants and newborns are particularly vulnerable to infections and diseases because their immune systems are not fully developed, and they may not have the same level of protection as older children and adults. As a result, it is important for healthcare providers to closely monitor infants and newborns for any signs of illness or disease and to provide prompt and appropriate medical care when necessary.
Protein C is a blood protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of blood clotting. It is produced in the liver and circulates in the bloodstream, where it helps to prevent the formation of blood clots by inhibiting the activity of enzymes involved in clotting. Protein C deficiency is a rare genetic disorder in which the body produces too little or no functional protein C. This can lead to an increased risk of blood clots, which can cause serious health problems such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and stroke. Protein C deficiency can be treated with replacement therapy, which involves infusing the body with functional protein C. This can help to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of complications associated with the disorder.
In the medical field, "Burns" refer to damage to the skin and other tissues caused by heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. Burns can be classified into three categories based on the severity of the damage: 1. First-degree burns: These are the mildest type of burns and affect only the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). They may appear red, painful, and slightly swollen, but usually heal on their own within a few days. 2. Second-degree burns: These burns penetrate the epidermis and affect the underlying layer of skin (dermis). They may appear white, moist, and painful, and may blister. Second-degree burns can take several weeks to heal, and may leave scars. 3. Third-degree burns: These are the most severe type of burns and affect all layers of the skin, as well as underlying tissues such as fat, muscle, and bone. Third-degree burns appear white or black, are painless at first, and may require surgery and skin grafts to heal. They can also lead to serious complications such as infection, shock, and organ damage. Burns can also be classified based on the cause, such as thermal burns (caused by heat), chemical burns (caused by chemicals), electrical burns (caused by electricity), and radiation burns (caused by radiation). Treatment for burns depends on the severity and type of burn, and may include wound care, pain management, antibiotics, and surgery.
Gram-negative bacterial infections are a type of bacterial infection caused by bacteria that have a negative gram stain reaction. This means that when they are stained with a special dye called crystal violet, they appear purple or pink under a microscope, rather than the characteristic blue color of gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria are a diverse group of bacteria that include many important pathogens, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Salmonella enterica. These bacteria are commonly found in the environment and on the skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals. However, some species of gram-negative bacteria can cause serious infections when they enter the body through cuts, wounds, or other openings. Gram-negative bacterial infections can affect various parts of the body, including the respiratory system, urinary tract, bloodstream, and gastrointestinal tract. The symptoms of these infections can vary depending on the location and severity of the infection, but may include fever, chills, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. In severe cases, gram-negative bacterial infections can lead to sepsis, a life-threatening condition in which the body's immune system overreacts to the infection. Treatment for gram-negative bacterial infections typically involves the use of antibiotics, which are medications that can kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. The choice of antibiotic will depend on the specific type of bacteria causing the infection and the location and severity of the infection. In some cases, hospitalization may be necessary for intravenous antibiotics or other supportive care.
In the medical field, "Disease Models, Animal" refers to the use of animals to study and understand human diseases. These models are created by introducing a disease or condition into an animal, either naturally or through experimental manipulation, in order to study its progression, symptoms, and potential treatments. Animal models are used in medical research because they allow scientists to study diseases in a controlled environment and to test potential treatments before they are tested in humans. They can also provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of a disease and help to identify new therapeutic targets. There are many different types of animal models used in medical research, including mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, and monkeys. Each type of animal has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of model depends on the specific disease being studied and the research question being addressed.
HMGB1 protein, also known as high mobility group box 1 protein, is a protein that is found in the nuclei of most cells in the human body. It is a member of a family of proteins called high mobility group (HMG) proteins, which are involved in the regulation of gene expression and the maintenance of chromatin structure. HMGB1 protein is normally located in the nucleus of cells, where it helps to regulate the activity of genes by binding to specific DNA sequences. However, under certain conditions, such as inflammation or tissue damage, HMGB1 can be released from the nucleus and enter the bloodstream. This can have a number of effects on the body, including the activation of immune cells and the promotion of tissue repair. In the medical field, HMGB1 protein is being studied as a potential biomarker for a variety of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative disorders. It is also being investigated as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of these conditions.
Cytokines are small proteins that are produced by various cells of the immune system, including white blood cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. They play a crucial role in regulating immune responses and inflammation, and are involved in a wide range of physiological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. Cytokines can be classified into different groups based on their function, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, anti-inflammatory cytokines, and regulatory cytokines. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 (IL-1), promote inflammation and recruit immune cells to the site of infection or injury. Anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), help to dampen the immune response and prevent excessive inflammation. Regulatory cytokines, such as interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13), help to regulate the balance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. Cytokines play a critical role in many diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and infectious diseases. They are also important in the development of vaccines and immunotherapies.
Puerperal infection, also known as postpartum infection, is an infection that occurs in the reproductive tract of a woman during or after childbirth. It can affect the uterus, vagina, cervix, or other parts of the reproductive system. Puerperal infection is a serious medical condition that can lead to complications such as sepsis, abscesses, and even death if left untreated. It is caused by bacteria that can enter the reproductive tract during childbirth, or by bacteria that are already present in the body but become more virulent after childbirth. Risk factors for puerperal infection include prolonged labor, multiple pregnancies, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. Treatment typically involves antibiotics and supportive care, and may require hospitalization.
