Staphylococcal bacteraemia/sepsis-characteristics of laboratory parameters.

Introduction: While determining a diagnosis and during a disease follow-up, laboratory, or non-specific inflammatory parameters in particular, platelets reference values, nitrogen matters, and liver enzymes play a significant role because their values may indicate multiple organ failures.

Goals: To analyse laboratory parameters in patients diagnosed with the staphylococcal bacteraemia/sepsis.

Patients And Methods: Analysed patients have been treated at the Clinic for Infectious Diseases through the period often years.

Frequency of in-hospital acquired staphylococcus bacteremia/sepsis within ten-year period.

Unlabelled: Analyzing data in the literature, it is noted that in-hospital acquired infections are an increasing problem even in more developed countries. This increasing trend is related to the progress of medical science and introduction of new invasive diagnostic-therapeutic methods, as well as increase of multiresistant types of bacteria, including staphylococci in big percentages.

Goals: To analyze frequency of in-hospital acquired staphylococcus bacteremia/sepsis.

Cellulitis--epidemiological and clinical characteristics.

Introduction: Cellulitis is acute skin infection and/or infection of subcutaneous tissue, mostly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. Clinical preview is usually obvious and enough for diagnosis. Tretment is antimicrobial therapy.

Staphylococcal sepsis and frequency of metastatic foci.

Introduction: Staphylococcal sepsis is one of the most serious bacterial infections in the world, in most cases accompanied by metastatic foci in various organ systems.

Objective: analyze the metastatic foci patients suffering from staphylococcal sepsis.

Patients And Methods: we analyzed the patients treated for staphylococcal sepsis during the ten year period.

Therapeutic approach to chickenpox in children and adults--our experience.

Introduction: Chickenpox is highly contagious childhood disease which occurs as a result of varicella-zoster virus primary infection. Symptomatic therapy is usually adequate for chickenpox, but in some cases it requires combinations of antiviral drugs and antibiotics.

Objectives: To present our expirience with chickenpox therapy in children and adult patients.

Complicated Varicella Infection at 8-year-old Boy with Pulmonary Agenesis.

Conflict Of Interest: none declared.

Introduction: Varicella or chickenpox is highly contagious, childhood infectious disease caused by primary infection with varicella - zoster virus from the herpes family of viruses. Usually it has a mild clinical course, rarely with described complication, mostly affecting respiratory tract and rarely the central nervous system.

Varicella Pneumonia in a 39-year-old Female in Third Trimester Twin Pregnancy.

Conflict Of Interest: none declared.

Introduction: Chickenpox is disease caused by varicella-zoster virus (VZV), with possibly devastated consequences during pregnancy, for mother and neonate. Pneumonia is most common complication in pregnancy with very high mortality.

Analysis of comorbidity of the patients affected by staphylococcal bacteremia/sepsis in the last ten years.

Conflict Of Interest: none declared.

Introduction: Staphylococcal bacteremia/sepsis is one of the most serious bacterial infections around the world. In individuals with pre-existing diseases, there is always an increased risk of infections occurring due to impaired immune system, a variety of drug therapy, exposure to a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure and frequent hospitalizations.

Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of novel AHIN1 flu.

Introduction: Swine influenza is respiratory infection caused by virus influenza A H1N1.

Objective: To show epidemiological and clinical characteristic of patients with confirmed influenza A H1N1 hospitalized at Clinic for Infectious Diseases of University Clinical Center Sarajevo.

Material And Methods: We analyzed 127 medical records of patients with microbiologically confirmed pandemic influenza A/H1N1 (nasopharyngeal swab analyzed by PCR method).
