Neuro Endocrinol Lett
September 2013
Objective: Neuropsychic manifestations of AIDS are still noticeable especially in developing countries. The aim of this short communication is to describe psychological, behavioral and neurologic disorders caused by either HIV-related disorders, or drug related toxicities in HIV-infected children from Cambodia (Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville) treated during 10 years with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
Methods: One hundred and thirty seven (137) HIV-positive children (age 2-19 years) treated with HAART since 2003 (6-10 years follow up) have been analyzed concerning opportunistic infections, other co-infections, renal parameters, hematologic parameters, chest X-ray, antiretroviral treatment, anti-tuberculotics and antibiotics treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 65 cases of Escherichia coli bacteremia over seven years in a cancer hospital, focusing on risk factors, patient outcomes, and antibiotic susceptibility.
- It found that E. coli was responsible for 20.8% of Gram-negative bacteremia, with a notable mortality rate of 17%, and identified major risk factors like solid tumors, prior surgeries, and recent chemotherapy.
- The research indicated that monomicrobial E. coli bacteremia led to lower mortality rates compared to polymicrobial cases, while most E. coli strains remained susceptible to various antibiotics with minimal resistance observed during the study period.
