3. Prevalence, aetiology and antibiotic resistance profiles of coagulase negative staphylococci isolated in a teaching hospital
In this paper we carried out a study about prevalence of the clinically significant coagulase negative staphylococcal (CNS) isolates found in an university hospital. Two hundred four CNS isolates from 191 patients obtained between the period of 1998 to 2002, were studied. About 27% (52/191) of the infection cases studied were confirmed as CNS-associated dise

5. Nutroterapia parenteral, crescimento de biofilmes e fatores associados à infecção do cateter venoso central / Parenteral Nutrition, Biofilms and bloodstream infection associated to central venous catheter
A introdução da nutroterapia parenteral (NTP) contribuiu para redução da morbimortalidade de pacientes com contraindicação de uso do trato gastrointestinal. Porém, está relacionada a complicações clínicas, destacando-se a infecção associada ao uso de cateteres venosos centrais (CVCs) e a formação de biofilmes, que podem contribuir para piora c

7. Avaliação prospectiva de diferentes marcadores inflamatórios como preditores de evolução clínica e óbito em pacientes neutropênicos febris
Fever in neutropenic patients represents a clinical challenge. While this condition carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality, the heterogeneity of patients evolution justifies a customized approach. Routinely used scores for risk stratification are based solely on clinical parameters. This study aimed to test the association of plasmatic levels of diff

8. Health care-related infections in solid organ transplants
The health care-related infections are well-known in a critical care setting, but reports of those infections in solid organ transplanted patients are scarce. We developed a study of retrospective cohort in a tertiary teaching hospital for 14 months. Eighty-one patients underwent solid organ transplants. The global incidence of health care-related infection

12. Complicações infecciosas e fatores preditivos de infecção em pacientes queimados
BACKGROUND. Despite advances of the treatment of burns have decreased the letality rate and improved the quality of life of burned patients, infectious complication remain a major cause of death in burn victims. Few patients are as susceptible to the development of infections as burn patients. Severe dysfunction of the immune system, a large cutaneous coloni
