まとめ
この研究では,小児焼け止めセンターでのカンジダ・オーリス菌病の2件の症例が報告され,治療戦略と感染制御対策の詳細が示されています. この世界的な健康上の脅威を 管理するには 効果的な協力が不可欠です
科学分野:
- 感染症
- 医学菌学
- 病院 疫学
背景:
- カンジダ・オーリス (C. auris) は,同定の難しさ,抗真菌抵抗性の変動,伝染の危険性により,世界的な健康問題である.
- 病院でのC. aurisの発生は世界中で増加しており,強力な感染予防と制御 (IPC) 戦略が必要である.
- 小児の燃焼センターは 多剤耐性菌感染症に 特に脆弱です
研究 の 目的:
- C. auris fungemiaと診断された2人の小児患者の臨床経験について説明します.
- C. auris の血流感染に用いられる抗真菌治療法の概要を述べる.
- 病院内でC. aurisの感染を抑えるために実施されたIPC対策を詳しく説明します.
主な方法:
- C. aurisの単離体は,MALDI- TOF MSを用いて特定された.
- 抗真菌感受性試験は,ブローチマイクロ希釈法 (BMD) を用いて実施した.
- IPCの措置には,患者の隔離,環境スクリーニング,および患者の監視が含まれていました.
主要な成果:
- 2人の小児患者は,C. aurisによって引き起こされた血管系感染症 (CRBSI) を発症した.
- カスポフンギン,ミカフンギン,リポソーマルアンフォテリシンB,ヴォリコナゾールを含む長期の抗真菌療法でした.
- 実施されたIPC対策により,C. aurisのさらなる拡散が防止され,新たな症例や環境汚染は検出されなかった.
結論:
- 臨床微生物学の研究所とIPC委員会との効果的な協力は,C. auris感染の早期診断と管理に不可欠です.

Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...
