Opis:
INTRODUCTION: Sepsis stands as the primary cause behind intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. The most critical parameters in sepsis management have been shown to be early recognition. Management delays have been associated with increased mortality and morbidity The aim of this study is to study the lactate/albumin (L/A) ratio as prognostic tool for risk stratification in septic patients admitted to ICU. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective observational study was conducted with100 patients. Admitted in ICU with sepsis and septic shock were studied. Serum lactate/albumin ratio was calculated at the time of admission. Apache 2 and SOFA score was calculated at admission. All patients received initial treatment according standard protocol. All patients were followed up till discharge. An adverse outcome in terms of in hospital mortality, length of ICU stays and inotropic support was used in this study. RESULTS: Lactate/albumin ratio >1.5(AUC 0.89) correctly predicted in-hospital mortality among 27% patients with sensitivity and specificity of 90% and 78.6% respectively (p value =0.001). Lactate/albumin ratio <1.50 (AUC 0.73) correctly predicted length of ICU stays <72 hours among 17% patients with sensitivity and specificity of 85% and 58.8% respectively (p value =0.001). Lactate/albumin ratio >1.50 (AUC 0.91) correctly predicted requiring inotropic support among 36% patients with sensitivity and specificity of 83.7% and 89.5% respectively (p value =0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that lactate/albumin ratio was a stronger parameter than lactate, albumin, APACHE score and SOFA alone in predicting mortality, length of ICU stay and requiring noradrenaline inotropic support among sepsis patients in the ICU.

Opis:
Yersinia enterocolitica (Y. enterocolitica) is a Gram-negative bacteria belonging to Enterobacteriaceae group since 60’s. Basing on specific biochemical and serological characteristics there where isolated serological types and biotypes of Yersinia enterocolitica. Most widespread of these are biotypes 1B, 2, 4 and belonging to them respectively serotypes O:8, O:9, O:3. Among them, the most frequent pathogen is serotype O:3. Currently, in Poland and other European countries, there is notified growth in number of infections caused by highly virulent serotype O:8 till now appearing only in USA. Yersinia causes zoonosis called yersiniosis. Contaminated food infects human. Clinical appearance of yersiniosis varies depending on bacterial virulence, age and immunological status of ill patient. Usually disease appears as mild enterocolitis. Yersinia together with Campylobacter pylori and Salmonella is the most frequent bacterial factor causing enterocolitis in Europe. In state of immunological deficiency infection with Yersinia can cause severe purulent complications and highly mortal sepsis. The source of serotype O:8 infections in Poland is still not found. It has been isolated on the territory of whole country, from ill people in different age and with different clinical picture of yersiniosis. Serological and microbiological methods are used in diagnostic process of yersiniosis. Both of this are not perfect and should cover each other. Because of unclear epidemiological status of Yersinia enterocolitica type O:8 in Poland, if this infection is suspected, there is a duty to send probes of infected material and serum, together with detailed interview to Instytut Bakteriologii Państwowego Zakładu Higieny. There is serotyping processed and virulence factors estimated. As important as diagnosis is promotion of preventive actions like sanitary principles or avoidance of eating of uncooked food.
Yersinia enterocolitica (Y enterocolitica) jest pałeczką Gram-ujemną zaliczaną od 1964 roku do grupy Enterobacteriaceae. Na podstawie właściwości biochemicznych i serologicznych wyodrębniono szereg biotypów i serotypów Y. enterocolitica. Najbardziej rozpowszechnione są biotypy 1B, 2, 4 i należące do nich odpowiednio serotypy O:8, O:9, O:3. Spośród serotypów zachorowania na całym świecie najczęściej wywołuje serotyp O:3. Obecnie w Polsce i w innych krajach europejskich notuje się stały wzrost zakażeń spowodowanych wysoce zjadliwym szczepem O:8, który do tej pory występował tylko na terenie USA. Pałeczka Yersinia jest przyczyną odzwierzęcej choroby zwanej jersiniozą. Człowiek najczęściej zaraża się nią drogą pokarmową, spożywając zakażone produkty pochodzenia zwierzęcego. Przebieg kliniczny jersiniozy jest zróżnicowany i zależny od zjadliwości bakterii oraz wieku i stanu odporności chorego. Zakażenie najczęściej wywołuje łagodne objawy nieżytu jelitowego. Do najczęstszych czynników bakteryjnych wywołujących zapalenie jelit na terenie Europy oprócz zakażeń bakteryjnych zalicza się także Campylobacter pylori i Salmonella. W stanach obniżonej odporności organizmu zakażenie pałeczką Yersinia może wywołać ciężkie powikłania ropne, a także sepsę o wysokiej śmiertelności. Na terenie Polski nie udało się jeszcze ustalić źródła zakażeń serotypem O:8. Izolowano go na terenie całego kraju od chorych w różnym wieku i o odmiennym przebiegu klinicznym jersiniozy. Diagnostyka jersiniozy polega na wykonywaniu zarówno badań mikrobiologicznych, jak i serologicznych. Ponieważ metody te nie są doskonałe, w terapii jersiniozy powinny się one wzajemnie uzupełniać. Ze względu na niejednoznaczną sytuację epidemiologiczną zakażeń Y enterocolitica typu O:8 w przypadku podejrzenia zakażenia należy zebrać dokładny wywiad i wraz z pobranymi próbkami przesłać go do Instytutu Bakteriologii Państwowego Zakładu Higieny w celu przeprowadzenia szczegółowego serotypowania i oceny czynników zjadliwości. Równie istotne jak diagnostyka jest propagowanie działań zapobiegawczych chroniących przed zakażeniem, a także przestrzeganie podstawowych zasad higieny i unikanie spożywania niedogotowanych produktów pochodzenia zwierzęcego.

Cytokines trigger coagulant and fibrinolytic systems in sepsis to result in Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) that is an important complication and leads to disseminated hemorrhages and multi-organ failure. High Mobility Group B1 DNA Binding (HMGB1) protein is a cytokine taking part in systemic inflammatory response. The objective of this study was to investigate HMGB1 levels in groups of septic patients with and without DIC.Twenty-one septic patients without DIC and 12 septic patients with DIC from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) were included in the study. In addition, 20 patients admitted to the ICU without sepsis or DIC and 20 healthy volunteers served as controls. Levels of HMGB1, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, fibrinogen, D-dimer, protein C, protein S, anti-thrombin III (ATIII), platelet (thrombocyte) and leukocyte count were determined. Levels of fibrinogen, protein C, ATIII and platelet count were significantly lower and D-dimer was significantly higher in the group with sepsis plus DIC compared to the group with sepsis without DIC. Levels of HMGB1 were higher in the group with sepsis and DIC compared to the group with sepsis; however, the difference was not statistically significant and the levels of HGMB1 of both groups were significantly higher compared to ICU and healthy control groups. HMGB1 levels were not significantly different in survivor and non survivor patients. HMGB1 levels did not differ in lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) and urinary tract infection (UTI) in regard to the etiology of sepsis.

Rheosorbilact action on antitoxic function of the kidneys has been analysed using the values of medium weight molecules in patients with severe sepsis. The study design includes the criteria of inclusion, exclusion and cessation. Patients with pyoceptic complications (mainly surgical abdominal sepsis) with signs of severe endotoxicosis, dopaminergic activity (5-10 mcg/kg min), biochemical criteria of SS (lactate >4 mmole/l, С-reactive protein >2 standard departures from the norm) and other signs of severe sepsis with generalized disorders in homeostasis (assessing the multiple organ damage course by H.Celye-I.A. Yeriuhin scale- 20-27 points, MODS scale – 6-10 points) corresponded to the inclusion criterion. All patients were provided with appropriate debridement and intensive traditional therapy. For control studies we involved patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome who had 2-3 signs of SIRS in stage A. It was found that rheosorbilact activates the transportation of medium weight molecules out of the extracellular space and increases their excretion by the renal nephrons in patients with severe sepsis. It was established that in severe sepsis rheosorbilact provides a high level of excretion of medium weight molecules by suppressing processes of reabsorption in the proximal nephron portions caused by peptidase dependent metabolism.

Our study had the advantage of testing several different polymerases, one of which proved to be the least sensitive to heme activity. We also found that there is no need of supplementing the reaction mixture with protective substances like BSA. Selection of the appropriate polymerase can increase the efficiency of the PCR reaction which is very important for diagnosis of sepsis and for other analyses performed on DNA template isolated from the blood.

Opis:
Objective: Despite the progress in the treatment of burn injuries, the mortality rate among seriously ill patients still remains high nowadays. The main causes of fatal cases with extensive deep burns are generalized infectious complications, the major of which is sepsis. According to the authors, 25%–85% of those who died of burn injuries in later periods, died from sepsis. The frequency and severity of infectious complications in patients with burn injuries requires an accurate diagnosis of infection that will determine the tactics of therapeutic and surgical treatment of such patients (Di Lonardo A. et al., 1993). However, the clinical diagnosis of wound infection in patients with burn injuries is quite difficult. Materials and methods: The clinical material included 188 patients with burn injuries. The average age of those patients ranged from 20 to 59 years. Men - 98 (52.1%), women - 90 (47.9%). The survey was conducted from April 2014 to July 2016. Results: In our opinion, the strength of NLR (neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio) is the possibility of implementing this parameter simply by using already available biomarkers (neutrophil count and lymphocyte count). Therefore, this ratio is easy to integrate in clinical practice and cost effective. Conclusion: The application of NLR for the diagnosis of sepsis in patients with burn injuries is the option of choice, since its determination requires only a general blood test.

Opis:
Introduction. The acute renal failure is a complication that is often reported in patients treated in the ICU. At least 20% of patients staying in this ward suffer from the acute renal failure. Therefore patient care in the event of immediate danger to life should be liable to an early recognition of the symptoms indicating renal impairment. Aim. The aim of the study is to define nurses’ role in supporting patients suffering from the acute renal failure. Case study. Patient (male), 52- year- old, admitted to the AIIT ward. He was diagnosed with acute renal failure, caused by sepsis and the operative treatment of the abdominal aortic aneurysm. Discussion. In patients with the acute renal failure the main concern regarding patient care is the risk of dehydration. Dehydration can cause fluid or electrolyte imbalance and it is essential to prevent such situation in order to be able to improve patient's quality of life. Conclusions. Applying ICNP ® in planning the nursing care for patients in OAiIT with severe renal impairment enables to monitor the number, character as well as the quality of nursing services provided.

Authors report a case of 54-years-old patient, who presented to the hospital due to three-day history of weakness, abdominal pain and diarrhea. His general shape was severe, abdomen was tender at palpation in hypogastrium, peritoneal signs were positive, and blood tests showed highly elevated markers of inflammation, including procalcitonin, what suggested the sepsis. Despite unclear clinical picture, the presence sepsis was an argument to give the patient surgery. Intraoperatively, perforated appendix was found, being in mass with the omentum and small bowel. An appendectomy was performed. Postoperative course was complicated by the wound infection, but recovery progressed quickly and patient was dismissed at 5 days after operation. In the discussion the authors referred to the similar cases reported in the literature, concluding that acute appendicitis can be a life threating event for – to date – healthy adult person. Although a tendency to treat conservatively an uncomplicated acute appendicitis and to delay operations is supported by scientific evidence, the cases may occur in which only prompt surgical intervention protects the patient from serious complications.

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.

Nevertheless, the forest moved according to the prophecy of the three witches, and in a similar way tropical flora is moving towards us according to the predictions of environmentalists. This is illustrated by the history of the presented patient, who was admitted to hospital because of sepsis caused by Chromobacterium violaceum (CV), a Gram-negative facultatively anaerobic, oxidase- positive bacterium producing a dark violet antioxidant pigment called violacein. This is probably the first documented case report of sepsis in this part of the world. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the patient is the first to require dialysis after Chromobacterium violaceum infection.

Opis:
Sepsis is a serious medical problem and is one of the main causes of high mortality in intensive care units. Fifty percent of patients with severe sepsis will develop acute lung injury (ALI). Amentoflavone (AMF) is a polyphenolic compound possessing potent anti-inflammatory activities. The study aimed to explore the protective effects of AMF against ALI in cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced septic rats. The results showed that AMF administration protected against septic ALI, as reflected by marked amelioration of histological injury of lung tissues and decrease of pulmonary edema in CLP-treated rats. AMF ameliorated CLP-induced increase of systemic and lung TNFα and IL-1β and binding activity of p65 NF-κB, indicating the inhibition of inflammation. Moreover, AMF prevented CLP-induced oxidative stress, as evidenced by increase of oxygen consumption rate, decrease of TBARS content, increase of SOD activity and GSH level in lung tissue of CLP-treated rats. CLP resulted in significant decrease of mRNA expression of Nrf2 and GCLc, which was inhibited by AMF. AMF-induced protective effects on ALI, inflammation, and oxidative stress were inhibited by lentivirus shRNA-mediated silence of Nrf2 and buthionine sulphoximine (BSO), an inhibitor of GSH synthesis. AMF increased Nrf2-binding activity in GCLc promoters in lung tissue of CLP-treated rats. The results suggested that AMF protected against ALI in septic rats through upregulation of Nrf2-GCLc signaling, enhancement of GSH antioxidant defense, reduction of oxidative stress and final amelioration of inflammation and histological injury of lung. The data provide new therapeutic options for the treatment of sepsis-associated ALI.

INTRODUCTION: : Sepsis is a global healthcare challenge, and accurate scores are required to identify and stratify patients' risk. The current study aimed to compare the prognostic accuracy of quick SOFA (qSOFA) with comparison to SOFA and MEWS scores in order to identify the length of hospital stay and outcomes among patients with sepsis who presented to emergency department (EMD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Between July and November 2018, 77 adult patients with sepsis were treated at EMD. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of quick SOFA (qSOFA), SOFA, and MEWS scores was used to compare prognostic accuracy for the outcome of hospital mortality and length of stay. RESULTS: The majority of patients (68%) were over the age of 50. Systemic Hypertension is the most common comorbid condition, accounting for 38.9% (n=30). Pneumonia is the most common diagnosis in 27.3 percent of cases (n=21). Patients required vasoactive support in 45.5 percent (n=35) of cases, and ventilator support in 50.6 percent (n=39) of cases. Mortality was observed in 34.1 percent (n=27) of the cases. Patients on vasopressor and ventilator support have a higher mortality rate [8(19%) vs. 21(50%)]. The mortality rate in patients with a qSOFA score of 3 is 71.4 percent. Patients with a SOFA score of >15 had higher mortality rate. The mortality rate in patients with MEWS score > 5 is 48.9%. A qSOFA score of 3 is associated with an increased risk of death, and the majority died in less than three days. Because of increased mortality, most patients with a SOFA score of 7 have a length of stay of 3 days. Most patients with a Mews score of 5 or higher have a length of stay of 3 days due to mortality. The AUC value for qSOFA is 0.721, the AUC value for SOFA is 0.714, and the AUC value for MEWS is 0.693, indicating that qSOFA is more sensitive in predicting the outcome than SOFA and MEWS. CONCLUSIONS: In all prediction scores, qSOFA outperformed than SOFA and MEWS in terms of hospital mortality and length of hospital stay. qSOFA is a simple, rapid bedside tool that does not require laboratory parameters and can be used to predict the prognosis of patients with sepsis in the EMD.

INTRODUCTION: : Studies indicate that approximately 90% of the patients followed in the ICU have Candida spp colonization. In this study we aimed to elucidate the epidemiology, characteristics, management and outcomes of patients with candidemia in the intensive care unit of a training and research hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All patients over the age of 18 who were hospitalized in general intensive care unit more than 24 hours between 2013 and 2019 were included in the this retrospective study. RESULTS: A total of 43 critically ill patients with blood cultures positive for Candida spp. have been enrolled in this retrospective analysis. The duration of stay in the intensive care unit of the survivors was approximately 53 days, while the average length of stay in the intensive care unit of the non survivors was 16 days, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05), 89.7% of septic patients with candidemia died the intensive care unit. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of platelets, urea and systolic blood pressure (p<0.05), the mean platelet and systolic blood pressure values of the surviving patients were higher than the deceased individuals, while the urea value was lower. The average fungal growth time of the surviving individuals was 17 days, while this period was 1 day in the non-survivor patients. CONCLUSIONS: The mortality rate was higher in patients with sepsis and concomittant candida infection at very soon days of ICU hospitalization. Early administration of empirical antifungal therapy with coverage of non-albicans should be considered for septic patients.

Opis:
Background. The interrelation between omeprazole use and the possibility of developing nosocomial pneumonia, acute kidney damage and Clostridium difficile-induced diarrhea in patients with sepsis requires further study. Material and methods. 200 patients with severe craniocerebral injury that underwent surgery for the pathology and developed sepsis in the postoperative period were examined in a blind, randomized placebo-controlled research study. The patients were divided into two groups. Patients in Group 1, as part of their therapy regimen for sepsis, received a daily dose of 0.2 mg/kg omeprazole as an intravenous infusion; patients in Group 2 received placebo instead of omeprazole, in addition to a similar therapy regimen as Group 1. Results. Among patients receiving omeprazole, the number of concomitant ventilatorassociated pneumonia cases increased by 1.32 times, the number of acute kidney damage cases by 1.33 times and the number of cases of Clostridium difficile toxin secretion with feces by 1.75 times. Conclusions. The routine use of omeprazole in the management of patients with sepsis may worsen treatment results.
Wprowadzenie. Kwestia korelacji stosowania omeprazolu z możliwym rozwojem szpitalnego zapalenia płuc, ostrego uszkodzenia nerek czy biegunki wywołanej przez Clostridium difficile u pacjentów z sepsą wymaga dalszych badań. Materiał i metody. W ślepym i randomizowanym badaniu kontrolowanym placebo przebadano 200 pacjentów z poważnymi obrażeniami czaszkowo-mózgowymi, którzy w wyniku tej patologii przeszli operację, i u których w okresie pooperacyjnym rozwinęła się sepsa. Zostali oni podzieleni na dwie grupy. Grupa 1 przyjmowała omeprazol w formie wlewu dożylnego w dziennej dawce 0,2 mg/kg jako część kompleksowego leczenia sepsy; grupa 2 przyjmowała placebo zamiast omeprazolu jako dodatek do głównej terapii, podobnej do tej stosowanej w przypadku grupy 1. Wyniki. Wśród pacjentów przyjmujących omeprazol liczba przypadków towarzyszącego respiratorowego zapalenia płuc wzrosła o 1,32 raza, ostrego uszkodzenia nerek – o 1,33 raza, a wydalenia toksyn Clostridium difficile w kale – o 1,75 raza. Wnioski. Rutynowe stosowanie omeprazolu w leczeniu pacjentów z sepsą może pogorszyć wyniki terapii.
