چکیده
|
Nosocomial infections in an intensive care unit (icu) are common and associated with a high mortality but there are no published data from the oceania region. a retrospective study in fiji's largest icu (2011-12) reported that 114 of a total 663 adult icu admissions had bacteriological culture-confirmed nosocomial infection. the commonest sites of infection were respiratory and bloodstream. gram negative bacteria were the commonest pathogens isolated,especially klebsiella pneumoniae (extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing),acinetobacter,and pseudomonas species. mortality for those with a known outcome was 33%. improved surveillance and implementation of effective preventive interventions are needed. © 2014 keshni naidu et al.
