Opis:
Introduction. Prion diseases are slow-acting, neurodegenerative diseases found in humans and many species of animals. Although they occur very rarely in humans, currently, an increase in this type of disease is being observed, probably as a result of exposure to infectious prions causing BSE disease in cows. Objective. The aim of the procedures described in the article is to minimize the risk of human-to-human transfer of all forms of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, including variant CJD (vCJD) by contaminated medical equipment. Brief description of the state of knowledge. All diseases caused by prions, referred to as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, are fatal. They are characterized by a long development period (up to several decades). Enormous problems are connected with the risk of transferring prions from patient to patient on the surface of instruments used in medical procedures. Laboratory tests indicate that standard disinfection and sterilization procedures may be insufficient to completely remove infectious proteins from contaminated instruments. One of the methods of infection prevention involves taking equipment used for surgery within the brain, tonsils or appendix, into quarantine until biopsy results of these organs have been received that exclude, as far as possible, asymptomatic carriage of prions. Conclusions. Whenever possible and justified, disposable-use instruments should be used for invasive surgery in patients with definite, clinically probable cases of CJD (vCJD). After use, these instruments should be incinerated.

Opis:
Bronchoscopy was introduced into clinical practice over 100 years ago. Due to technological advances, diagnostic capabilities of current bronchoscopy are not limited to the trachea and proximal bronchi but also include the peripheral airways as well as various anatomical structures located outside the bronchi. A wide range of available techniques that include bronchoalveolar lavage, protected microbiological brush, transbronchial biopsy of the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes makes bronchoscopy useful in diagnosing various lower respiratory tract infections. For example, the collection of high quality biological samples for microbiological examination plays a crucial role when treating patients with nosocomial pneumonia. Bronchoscopy may provide the samples directly from the site of infection. In immunocompromised hosts bronchoscopy is routinely used as the diagnostic tool in lower respiratory tract infections. Due to implementation of novel therapies, the number of immunocompromised patients is steadily increasing, hence there are growing needs for effective diagnosis of opportunistic pulmonary infections. In the specific group of lung transplant recipients, bronchoscopy play a crucial role in monitoring the rejection process and also in differentiating between the rejection and pulmonary infections. Bronchoscopy is also useful in diagnosing tuberculosis or nontuberculous pulmonary infections. This particularly refers to patients who are unable to produce sputum for microbiological examination.

Opis:
Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSI) involve 2–11% of all surgical procedures. Paper assumption: The use of 6% gel with chlorhexidine as an element of preoperative skin preparation of the operated area reduces the number of surgical site infections. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of body mass index (BMI), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), total protein, glucose, length of hospitalization before surgery, duration of surgery, length of drainage maintenance, transfusion of red blood concentrate on the number of SSI. Materials and methods: 248 patients were subjected to prospective analysis. Patients were operated at the Department of General and Oncological Surgery of the Provincial Specialist Hospital in Zgierz. Patients were divided into three groups depending on the microbiological degree of cleanliness of the postoperative wound: Group I – clean wounds, Group II – cleancontaminated wounds, Group III – contaminated wounds, which also included emergency surgerical procedures. In each group two subgroups were distinguished depending on the method of preoperative preparation of the surgical field: A – gel without CHG, B – 6% gel with CHG. Results: Surgical site infections were found in 22 patients (8.9%). The respective frequencies for groups I, II, III are: 3.0% vs 12.9% vs 12.7%. An increase in NLR by one unit resulted in a higher incidence of surgical site infections by 11%. A transfusion of RBC to the patient resulted in a 3.5-fold increase in the frequency of surgical site infections. Extending the drain maintenance time by one day increases the SSI frequency by 41%. Lowering the total protein concentration by at least 1 g/dl below normal increases the risk of surgical site infections almost three times. Conclusions: The use of a 6% gel preparation with chlorhexidine as an element of preoperative preparation of the surgical field reduces the risk of surgical site infections, especially in clean-contaminated and contaminated wounds.

Opis:
The emergence of resistance in microorganisms on a global scale has made it necessary to search for new antimicrobial factors. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) seem to meet these expectations. AMPs are produced by bacteria, viruses, plants, and animals, and may be considered as a new class of drugs intended for the prophylaxis and treatment of both systemic and topical infections. The aim of this study is to review the results of studies on the use of peptides to combat infections in vivo. Antimicrobial peptides may be applied topically and systemically. Among the peptides used topically, a very important area for their application is ophthalmology. AMPs in ophthalmology may be used mainly for the protection of contact lenses from ocular pathogens. Many AMPs are in clinical trials for application in the therapy of local infections. There may be mentioned such preparations as: pexiganan (magainin analogue), MX-226 (based on indolicidin), NEUPREX (isolated from human BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing) protein), IB-367 (variant of porcine protegrin), P113 (based on histatin), daptomycin, polymyxins, as well as peptidomimetics. In the combat against systemic infections are used such peptides as: P113D (modified P113 peptide containing D-amino acids), colistin, peptoids, and peptides containing non-typical amino acids or non-peptide elements. AMPs are also used as antiprotozoal, antifungal, antitoxic and immunostimulatory agents. The limitations in the use of peptides in the treatment of infections, such as susceptibility to proteolysis, and resistance of microorganisms to the peptides, are also discussed. AMPs are a promising strategy in the fight against microbial infections.

Opis:
Neopterin (NPT) (6-D-erythro-trihydroxypropyl pteridin) is one of the indicators of the immune system activity. Elevated neopterin concentration occurs in diseases mostly involving stimulation of cellular immunity. The determination of neopterin concentration, usually in blood serum and urine but also in many other bodily fluids, has already been applied in many areas of medicine, such as transfusiology, transplantology, oncology, infectious diseases and autoimmunological diseases. Objective. The aim of this work is to evaluate clinical usefulness of serum neopterin determination in children with urinary tract infections of confirmed bacterial etiology. Material. The study involved 56 children with bacterial urinary tract infections - patients of the Clinic of Paediatrics, Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology & Paediatric Nutrition of Medical University of Gdańsk in the years 2012-2013. The control group included 105 healthy children. Results. The values of NPT concentration in blood serum obtained in the group of children with urinary tract infections did not significantly differ from the values obtained in the control group. Conclusions. The determination of neopterin concentration in children with bacterial urinary tract infections is not a clinically useful parameter.

Opis:
Wstęp: Zakażenia szpitalne są jednym z poważniejszych zagrożeń zdrowia pacjenta podczas hospitalizacji. Wśród nich zakażenia szpitalne HAI (Healthcare – Associated Infections). Najczęściej występującą formą są szpitalne zakażenia układu moczowego (UTI – Urinary Tract Infection). Cel: W celu zbadania częstości występowania szpitalnych zakażeń układu moczowego poddano analizie strukturę zakażeń szpitalnych występujących u pacjentów hospitalizowanych w Oddziale Chorób Wewnętrznych i Nefrologii Szpitala Wojewódzkiego im. Św. Łukasza w Tarnowie. Materiał i metody: Analizowano dane dotyczące 13 965 pacjentów hospitalizowanych w Oddziale Chorób Wewnętrznych i Nefrologii w latach od 2006 do 2015. W analizie materiału wykorzystano standardowe metody epidemiologiczne i ujednolicone definicje zakażeń szpitalnych wydane przez ECDC (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control) oraz CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Wyniki: Wykryto 237 szpitalnych UTI co stanowiło 33% wszystkich zakażeń szpitalnych wykrytych w badanym oddziale. Zachorowalność wynosiła 1,7%, w tym: 1,5% dla potwierdzonych mikrobiologicznie zakażeń (UTI-A: Microbiologically Confirmed Symptomatic UTI) i 0,2% bez potwierdzenia mikrobiologicznego (UTI-B: Not Microbiologically Confirmed Symptomatic UTI). Współczynnik gęstości zachorowań na 1000 osobodni pobytu (ID – density incidence /1000 osobodni pobytu) wynosił 0,2/1000. Rozpoznano 168 przypadków zakażeń UTI związanych z cewnikiem moczowym i 69 przypadków bez cewnika moczowego. Współczynnik gęstości zachorowań dla UTI z cewnikiem moczowym wynosił 3,3 na 1000 osobodni z cewnikiem moczowym. Wśród czynników etiologicznych, które izolowano z materiałów pochodzących od pacjentów z zakażeniem układu moczowego (UTI) dominowały: Escherichia coli 63 (29%), Enterococcus spp. 37 (16%), Klebsiella spp. 23 (11%). Wnioski: Dziesięcioletnia obserwacja szpitalnych UTI występujących w oddziale chorób wewnętrznych i nefrologii wykazała możliwość przeprowadzenia bardzo dokładnej analizy epidemiologicznej tych zakażeń. Porównanie gęstości występowania szpitalnych UTI uzyskane w badanym oddziale z odnotowaną w programach CDC pozwala wnioskować, iż sytuacja epidemiologiczna w badanym oddziale nie odbiega znacząco od sytuacji w innych krajach.
Introduction: Hospital-acquired infections are one of the most serious health threats during a patient’s stay in hospital, including healthcare associated infections (HAI). The most typical form of hospital-acquired infections is urinary tract infection (UTI). Objective: To examine the frequency of appearing UTIs, the structure of UTIs in in-patients in the department of internal medicine and nephrology at Saint Lucas’s general hospital in Tarnów was analysed. Materials and methods: Data analysis of 13 965 in-patients staying in the department of internal medicine and nephrology from 2006 to 2015 was carried out. To investigate these data epidemiological methods and standard definitions of hospital- acquired infections issued by European Center for Disease Prevention as well as Control and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used. Results: 237 hospital-acquired UTIs were revealed, which is 33% of all UTIs revealed in the investigated ward. The UTI incidence rate was 1.7% including 1.5% for microbiologically confirmed symptomatic UTIs and 0.2% not microbiologically confirmed symptomatic UTIs. The incidence density rate per 1 000 person-days was 0.2 over 1 000. The number of revealed catheter-related cases was 168, and not catheter-related cases – 69. The incidence density rate of UTIs associated with urinary catheters was 3.3 per 1 000 person-days. The dominant etiological factors, which were taken to be detected from the infected patients’ specimens, were: Escherichia coli 63 (29%), Enterococcus spp. 37(16%), Klebsiella spp. 23 (11%). Conclusions: A 10 year observation of UTIs, which have appeared in the department of internal medicine and nephrology, allowed to conduct the accurate analysis of these infections. The comparison of urinary tract infection rates done in the investigated ward, and recorded in the Research Participation Programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), allows to draw the conclusion that the presented epidemiological situation does not differ significantly from other countries.

Introduction and objectives. The ever-increasing number of patients with tick-borne diseases resulted in the presented study investigating the awareness, attitudes and knowledge among students about the threats arising from tick bites and preventive anti-tick practices. Materials and method. Questionnaires concerning these issues were distributed amongst Czech and Polish university students of science. Responses were analyzed by nationality and by gender. Results. Nearly all respondents were aware of the risks arising from ticks and could name at least one disease transmitted by ticks. The Czech students felt more threatened by tick-borne diseases, had more frequently suffered from Lyme borreliosis and were vaccinated against tick-borne encephalitis more often than the Polish students. A large number of the participants applied preventive measures against ticks in order to protect themselves. The Czech students believed in the effectiveness of repellents statistically more often than the Polish students, while effectiveness is the main criterion for selection of the right repellent in both groups. Conclusion. Differences in preferences between the two nations appeared in many areas, e.g. the Czechs felt more threatened by all kind of risks and suffered from Lyme disease more frequently. Gaps can still be found in both the knowledge and behaviour among the respondents. It can be expected that the general public knowledge of this issue is rather limited in comparison with the students participating in the study, who are systematically educated in the field.

Nosocomial infections caused by strains Acinetobacter baumannii strands are a growing clinical problem. The occurrence of multidrug-resistant strands is observed and that limits the ways of therapy considerably. The aim of the study was to determine the rate of infection and susceptibility spectrum of the species Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from patients treated at Maria Skłodowska-Curie Memorial Hospital in Zgierz with particular emphasis on surgical wards. Materials and methods. The material consisted of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates were obtained from samples of materials from patients treated at Maria Skłodowska-Curie Memorial Hospital in Zgierz from January to December 2011. Isolated bacterial strains were cultured at microbiological substrates. Isolates were identified to species using the VITEK 2 GN card (bioMérieux) and Vitek 2 automated system (bioMérieux). Susceptibility towards antibiotics of particular strains was determined by the means of AST NO 93 card. In the case of resistance towards carbapenem, the MIC was marked by E-test with Mueller Hinton substrate. The occurrence of MBL was verified by the means of disc system with Mueller Hinton substrate. Results. We have shown that total number of Acinetobacter baumannii infections at hospital was 140 (10,31% of total results of cultures). Percentage of Acinetobacter baumannii infections at wards: Intensive Care Unit 48%, Surgical Departments 20%, Internal Diseases Department 16%, Neurology 13%, other wards - 3%. The susceptibility percentage of Acinetobacter Baumannii against antibiotics: colistin 90%, imipenem 64%, meropenem 43%, ampicillin-sulbactam 28%, amikacin 27%, gentamicin 24%, cefepime 9%, ceftazidime 7%, ciprofloxacin 7% Conclusions. Acinetobacter baumannii infections are a significant proportion of nosocomial infections. Most relate to surgical wards and ICUs. Acinetobacter baumannii is resistant against most antibiotics. The highest percentage of sensitivity demonstrated for colistin and carbapenems

Introduction. The operating theatre is one of the most important places in a hospital. Due to the presence of numerous reservoirs of microorganisms and the invasiveness of surgical procedures it is necessary to ensure high hygiene standards in these locations. Objective. The aim of the study was to carry out a qualitative assessment of the microbiological cleanliness of the surfaces and equipment in an operating theatre. Materials and method. The results of microbiological tests of the surfaces and equipment of the Children’s Operating Theatre in Clinical Provincial Hospital No. 2 in Rzeszów, southeast Poland, during 2007–2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Results and conclusions. For the analysis, a total of 1,819 swabs were collected, of which 1.05% were positive. Positive results were obtained mainly from samples taken from moist places (57.9%). Among the microorganisms isolated, Gram- negative bacteria constituted the majority (57.9%), Pseudomonas bacteria were found most frequently (31,6%). Isolated microbes can be the etiological agent of nosocomial infections.

Objectives: To determine the incidence of smell and taste disorders in our health department and to analyse the factors that could be associated with these symptoms in patients with COVID-19. Methods: We conducted an observational descriptive study of all patients with COVID-19 in our health area diagnosed between 2020/03/10 and 2020/04/14. Factors related to smell and taste disorders were analysed. Results: A total of 126 patients, 63 women and 63 men, aged 16–80 years, were included. As many as 69 patients (62.7%) presented hyposmia, and 58 (46%) of them had anosmia. A total of 75 patients (59.5%) presented hypogeusia, and 57 (45.2%) of them had ageusia. The risk factors that were most commonly associated with these disorders were the female sex (adjusted odds ratio, aOR 2.43 for smell disorders and 2.44 for taste disorders), allergic rhinitis (aOR 3.34 for smell disorders) and a younger age. A protective factor was arterial hypertension (aOR 0.51 for smell disorders and 0.35 for taste disorders). A history of tonsillectomy was the risk factor for taste disorder (aOR 5.23). Conclusion: Our results indicate that these sensory disorders occurred more frequently in female patients and in young patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 infection who progressed with mild nasal congestion, posterior rhinorrhoea and without anterior rhinorrhoea. The recovery of taste occurred before the recovery of smell.

Opis:
Aim: 1. To assess the prevalence of cross-infections with P. aeruginosa in order to evaluate the epidemiological situation of this infection in patients with cystic fibrosis attending our centre; 2. To correlate the clinical features of the patients carrying a potentially transmissible strain with the entire study group in order to determine the risk factors and possible effects of its acquisition. Material and methods: 170 Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains obtained from the respiratory tract of 75 cystic fibrosis patients attending the Warsaw Centre in 2011 and 2012 were typed using restriction enzyme analysis-pulsed field gel electrophoresis (Spe I restriction enzyme was used). Simultaneously, the information concerning contacts between patients, as well as several clinical data regarding the course of the disease were collected. Results: Twenty four clusters of strains were detected. The main cluster included 49 isolates derived from 21 patients. The other detected clusters included 2 to 12 isolates derived from 1 to 7 patients. Three clusters comprised the isolates derived from three pairs of siblings. There were 15 clusters containing 2 to 7 strains belonging to the same patient. The remaining 24 patients were infected with their own strains, not fitting any clonal group. Several clinical parameters showed that the 21 patients whose strains constituted the main cluster, were in worse clinical condition than the other patients in the study group. Moreover, the total duration of their hospitalizations in order to perform intravenous antibiotic treatment was longer. Conclusions: 1. Frequent hospitalizations of CF patients with a more severe course of the disease seem to be a risk factor of cross-infections with P. aeruginosa. 2. Intensification of measures to prevent cross-infection, such as hygienic precautions, patient segregation, introduction of home intravenous antibiotic therapy programme, as well as further education of patients and their parents should lead to the improvement of the epidemiological situation in our centre.
Cel: 1. Ocena częstości występowania zakażeń krzyżowych Pseudomonas aeruginosa i ich możliwych konsekwencji klinicznych u pacjentów chorujących na mukowiscydozę leczonych w naszym ośrodku; 2. Porównanie cech klinicznych grupy pacjentów, u których doszło do zakażenia krzyżowego z cechami klinicznymi całej grupy badanej, w celu określenia czynników ryzyka i możliwych skutków takiego zakażenia. Materiał i metody: 170 szczepów Pseudomonas aeruginosa wyizolowanych w latach 2011-2012 z dróg oddechowych 75 pacjentów z mukowiscydozą pozostających pod opieką Instytutu Matki i Dziecka typowano metodą makrogenomowej analizy restrykcyjnej z elektroforezą w zmiennym polu elektrycznym (z wykorzystaniem endonukleazy Spe I). Zbierano wywiady dotyczące najważniejszych parametrów klinicznych, a także kontaktów pomiędzy pacjentami. Wyniki: W toku analizy wyodrębniono 24 grupy klonalne. Największa grupa zawierała 49 izolatów pochodzących od 21 chorych. Inne grupy obejmowały od 2 do 12 izolatów pochodzących od 1 do 7 pacjentów. Trzy grupy zawierały szczepy pochodzące od trzech rodzeństw. Piętnaście grup klonalnych obejmowało od 2 do 7 szczepów należących do tego samego pacjenta. Pozostałych 24 pacjentów było zakażonych szczepami, nie należącymi do żadnej grupy klonalnej. Ocena parametrów klinicznych wykazała, że przebieg choroby u 21 pacjentów, których szczepy stanowiły największą grupę klonalną, był cięższy niż u pozostałych pacjentów w grupie badanej. Także łączny czas trwania ich hospitalizacji (antybiotykoterapii dożylnych) był dłuższy. Wnioski: 1. Częste hospitalizacje pacjentów z mukowiscydozą w gorszym stanie klinicznym wydają się być istotnym czynnikiem ryzyka zakażeń krzyżowych Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 2. Intensyfikacja działań zapobiegających zakażeniom krzyżowym, takich jak środki higieny, izolacja chorych, wprowadzenie w Polsce programu domowej antybiotykoterapii dożylnej, a także dalsza edukacja pacjentów i ich rodziców odnośnie dróg transmisji zakażeń bakteryjnych, prawdopodobnie przyczynią się do poprawy sytuacji epidemiologicznej w naszym ośrodku.

Opis:
Influenza is one of the most common cyclic respiratory diseases in humans. Methods of prevention are multidirectional, but the most effective and most efficacious way to prevent influenza and its complications is through preventive vaccination. This work aims to determine different factors affecting the decision concerning influenza vaccine. The percentage of people vaccinated against the flu was evaluated, as well as their knowledge of post-influenza complications, etc. among full-time students and bridging studies of nursing and physiotherapy (full-time and part-time) at the University of Technology and Life Sciences in Radom, and students of medicine and pharmacy at the Medical University of Łódź. The research tool was the authors' questionnaire with 18 questions. The surveys conducted, consisting of multiple choice questions, were anonymous. In total, the survey involved 470 students. Overall, the number of people who were vaccinated against influenza in the 2012/13 epidemic season numbered 15 respondents, representing 5.84% of the total group of respondents. For the group of nursing students it was 6%, for physiotherapy students 5%, for students of medicine and pharmacy 14%. The percentage of respondents who said they would get vaccinated if the vaccinaton was free of charge was also low. Increasing the percentage of people vaccinated against influenza (immunization coverage) is a very important measure in preventing influenza epidemics. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the reasons why people are reluctant to be vaccinated against influenza, particularly among students who will work in the future in the health care services sector.

Opis:
The ability to form different types of biofilm enables bacteria to survive in a harsh or toxic environment. Different structures of biofilms are related to different surfaces and environment of bacterial growth. The aim of this study was analysis of the biofilm formation of 115 clinical uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains under different growth conditions: surface for biofilm formation, medium composition and time of incubation. The biofilm formation after 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 96 h was determined spectrophotometrically (A531) after crystal violet staining and it was correlated with bacterial growth (A600). The live and dead cells in biofilm structures was also observed on the glass surface by an epi-fluorescence microscope. Additionally, the presence of rpoS, sdiA and rscA genes was analyzed. The statistical significance was estimated by paired T-test. The observed biofilms were different for each particular strain. The biofilm formation was the highest in the rich medium (LB) after 24 h and its level hasn't changed in time. When biofilm level was compared to bacterial growth (relative biofilm) - it was higher in a minimal medium in comparison to enriched medium. These results suggest that most of the bacterial cells prefer to live in a biofilm community under the difficult environmental conditions. Moreover, biofilm formation on polyurethane surface did not correlate with biofilm formation on glass. It suggests that mechanisms of biofilm formation can be correlated with other bacterial properties. This phenomenon may explain different types of biofilm formation among one species and even one pathotype - uropathogenic Escherichia coli.

Opis:
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) spread through sexual contact and can be responsible for many clinically significant complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, fetal or neonatal death, premature delivery and increased susceptibility to HIV infection. Worldwide, millions of cases of STIs, such as chlamydia, syphilis or gonorrhoea occur every year, and hundreds of millions of people are currently infected. Some STIs can be cured following appropriate therapy. Others cannot be completely cured, but medicines can be used to manage symptoms and prevent ongoing transmission. According to the World Health Organization, STIs are one of the five types of diseases for which adults most commonly seek medical support worldwide. In this paper, we present the results of the analysis of data collected in Poland on the awareness of Polish society about sexually transmitted infections.

Introduction. Among free-living amoebae that are widely distributed in nature only four genera/species are known as agents of human infections: Acanthamoeba spp., Naegleriafowleri, Balamuthia mandrillaris and Sappiniapedata. These amoebae are not well adapted to parasitism, and could exist in the human environment without the need for a host. Infections due to these amoebae, despite low morbidity, are characterized by relatively high mortality rate and pose serious clinical problems. Objectve. This review study presents and summarizes current knowledge about infections due to pathogenic and opportunistic free-living amoebae focused on epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment based on global literature. State of knowledge. All four genera have been recognized as etiologic factors of fatal central nervous system infections and other serious diseases in humans. N. fowleri causes an acute fulminating meningoencephalitis in children and young adults. Acanthamoeba spp. and B.mandrillaris are opportunistic pathogens causing granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and disseminated or localized infections which could affect the skin, sinuses, lungs, adrenals and/or bones. Acanthamoeba spp. is also the main agent of acute eye infection – Acanthamoeba keratitis, mostly in contact lens wearers. However, there is only one recognized case of encephalitis caused by S. pedata. Conclusions. Amoebic diseases are difficult to diagnose which leads to delayed treatment, and result in a high mortality rate. Considering those issues, there is an urgent need to draw more attention to this type of diseases.

Opis:
Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium, which is a primary cause of urinary tract infections. Resistance to antibiotics has become a particular problem in recent decades. Consequently, there is an unmet need for new therapeutic options. It has been observed that essential oils have bactericidal effects. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing for Escherichia coli isolates obtained from urine of patients with urinary tract infections was determined via disk diffusion method according to the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST, 2015). Essential oil from clove – Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merill et L.M. (Myrtaceae) was analyzed by GC-FID-MS. Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were detected by using the micro-dilution broth method. Escherichia coli clinical isolates are characterized by high resistance to ampicillin, amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, norfloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, tobramycin and ticarcillin. Clove oil possesses strong inhibiting and killing properties against E. coli isolates, among them the ones resistant to recommended antibiotics. The results of this study highlight the need for testing the efficacy of new agents to inactivate bacteria in clinical settings.

Opis:
Self-medication is a procedure that is increasingly eagerly chosen by people all over the world, especially in common conditions (e.g. infections of upper respiratory tract). The main objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of self-medication and identify the sources of knowledge used by Polish society in searching for information on OTC medicines. The study was conducted in the group of 252 Internet users at working age (18-64 years) living in Poland (women n=208; 82.5%, men m=44; 17.5%) and used an original questionnaire consisting of 29 questions available on Internet from December 2016 to February 2017. According to the obtained results self-treatment was undertaken by 90.08% of Poles. Using OTC products was most prevalent among people with university education (p=0.01) and without children (p=0.03). Most popular source of knowledge on self-medication was own experience (n=149; 59.1%) and pharmacists’ advice (n=148; 58.7%). TV commercials were considered as unimportant for most of respondents (54.3%). Young women (18-26 years) most often used Internet to search for information about OTC drugs (p=0.03), young male trusted own experience (p=0.03) and men from older age groups (p=0.04) advice of a pharmacist. Self-medication can characterized as prevalent in Poland. People with lower levels of education used OTC medicines less often and therefore might benefit from stronger support of professionals.

Respiratory tract infections are the most common communicable diseases, which include pharyngitis, otitis media, rhinosinusitis, laryngitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. Although the majority of pathogenic agents responsible for these conditions are cosmopolitan, the differences in frequency and severity of these diseases associated with climate and living conditions may appear. The aim of the study is to assess if there are significant differences in frequency and severity of respiratory tract infections in different countries. A survey, consisting of 49 questions involving the frequency of respiratory tract infections, antibiotics’ usage and demographic data was delivered to the users of a social network used to finding penfriends from abroad. Collected data was statistically analyzed and compared with climate conditions and economic indices in different countries. 462 respondents, aged 12-79 (mean age 25,15 ± 9,43, median 23) from 119 countries submitted their answers. First raw, preliminary data describe a prevalence of different types of respiratory tract infections and commonness of antibiotic therapy. This initial report with preliminary results of the survey should be a first step towards determining the differences in frequency and severity of respiratory tract infections, as well as in antibiotic treatment. Data gained during the survey need further analysis.

Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are one of the most severe complications of treatment in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) that are diagnosed during the myelosuppression period following intensive chemotherapy. Due to a high mortality rate reaching up to 30–70%, IFI require an adequate prevention, and once an active infection is diagnosed – a rapid diagnosis and an effective antifungal therapy. Modern therapy models are based on expensive treatment regimens and are often associated with long-term hospitalization and the need for intensive supportive treatment.

Opis:
Despite development of combustiology, infections continue to be the most important cause of death among patients with burns. Sepsis is the most severe clinical presentation of infection in patients after thermal injuries who require immediate treatment. Early diagnosis and proper treatment of sepsis are important in the clinical management that is often hampered for multiple reasons, e.g. impaired patient immunity, problems with microorganisms with multi-antibacterial drug resistance.The aim of the study was to assess effect of type of a microorganism isolated from blood and wound on results of treatment of sepsis in patients with burns.Material and methods. Effect of type of microorganisms isolated from blood and wound on the result of treatment of sepsis was studied in 338 patients hospitalized immediately after an injury in Centre for Burn Treatment in Siemianowice Śląskie in years 2003 - 2004 (at the age of 18 - 96 years, 66 women and 272 men). Clinical symptoms of generalized infection were found in all study subjects. The study group was divided into two subgroups: cured patients and patients who died of sepsis. The following parameters were assessed in both subgroups: type of microorganism isolated from blood, type of microorganism isolated from wound as well as occurrence of the same and different infections of blood and burn wound.Results. positive blood cultures were found in 165 patients (48.8%), 106 (64.2%) were cured, 59 (35.8%) died. The most commonly isolated microorganisms in cured patients were Gram(+) Staphylococcus epidermidis MRSE (19.81%) and Staphylococcus aureus MRSA (18.87%). Gram(-) intestinal rods were least commonly isolated from this group. The most commonly isolated microorganisms from blood of patients who were to die, included non-fermenting Gram(-) rods Acinetobacter baumannii (35.59%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (22.03%). Mixed bacterial flora was found in the blood of 22.03% patients. Among patients who were to die, the same microorganisms were found in the blood and in the wound in 32.2% of patients, while this rate was 17.92 in cured patients. The most commonly found bacteria in the blood and burn wound in the cured patients included Staphylococcus aureus MRSA (31.58%) and Staphylococcus aureus (21.05%). In the group of patients who were to die, the most common bacteria isolated simultaneously from the blood and burn wound included Acinetobacter baumannii (47.37%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (36.84%).Conclusions. 1. The patients with thermal injuries are at higher risk of death in the event of sepsis caused by Gram(-) bacteria versus Gram(+) bacteria. 2. Infection of blood and burn wound caused by the same bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanni increases the risk of death due to sepsis in patients with burns following thermal injuries.

Introduction: In recent years tick-borne diseases have become a very serious problem. The most common of these infections are borreliosis (Lyme disease) and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). Lately there is growing incidence of Bartonella, Babesia, Anaplasma and Brucella co-infections. The similarity between the symptoms of tick-borne diseases and other pathologies causes serious diagnostic issues. Material and methods: 216 patients aged 18–55, who presented to the outpatient clinic for tick-borne diseases in the years 2014–2016, were enrolled in the study. The patients had been diagnosed with Lyme disease and co-infections. The principal diagnostic tests to confirm the infections included ELISA, Western-Blot and circulating immune complexes (CIC).Results: In the group of 216 patients, 162 presented with otolaryngological symptoms. The most common complaint was tinnitus (76,5%) accompanied by vertigo and dizziness (53,7%), headache (39%), unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (16,7%). The patients also had tick-borne coinfections, among them the most common was Bartonella henselae (33,4%) and Bartonella quintana (13%).Conclusions: Otolaryngological symptoms are a  common manifestation of tick-borne diseases. They are most frequently observed in Lyme disease and Bartonella spp. infections. The symptoms in the head and neck region are usually occur in chronic Lyme disease with predominant IgG antibodies nad VlsE antigen.

Dermatophytes are keratinophilic molds that infect human hair, nails and skin. Diagnosis of dermatophytosis is based on morphological, serological and biochemical features. However, identification is difficult and laborious due to similarities between microorganisms. Thus, there is considerable interest to develop mycological diagnostic procedures based on molecular biology methods. In this study, fast, two-step DNA extraction method and real-time PCR was used for detection of dermatophytes DNA using pan-dermatophyte primers and identification of Trichophyton rubrum from pure cultures. The applied method allowed correct detection of all dermatophytes and correct identification of Trichophyton rubrum in less than 2 hours.

Opis:
Periprosthetic joint infection is one of the complications developing after surgical implantation of the prosthetic joint. Combined with ageing of society, number of arthroplasties will grow. Knowledge of risk factors of PJIs (periprosthetic joint infections) is essential for surgeons performing such interventions. There are many groups of risk factors. Patient’s race does not clearly predispose to developing PJIs. Age is not a key factor of occurrence of PJIs. Sex of patient plays important role (more PJIs in male patients )when there are no additional risk factors such as comorbidities – in that case females are suffering from PJIs more often. Alcohol intake is not clearly correlated with increased risk of PJIs while tobacco smoking and higher BMI increased that risk significantly. Cardiovascular, pulmonary tract, renal, gastrointestinal, rheumatological and oncological diseases are important PJIs risk factors as well as as diabetes, immunosuppression, preoperative infection and depression. Such complications are also bond with higher ASA score, some of the lab test results. Last group of risk factors is related with treatment – complications during surgery, other conditions like hypothermia, longer hospital stay, blood transfusion and reoperations. It is vital to acknowledge these risk factors and manage to remove these related to surgeon while encouraging patient to deal with these related to him.
