Article Synopsis
- * Immigrant populations often experience more severe cases of tuberculosis, including younger patients, higher rates of drug resistance, and increased likelihood of treatment non-compliance compared to native populations.
- * Advancements in molecular diagnostic techniques can improve treatment by speeding up diagnosis and identifying drug resistance, but it's essential to implement supportive measures like easier access to healthcare and community resources to enhance treatment adherence among immigrants.
Background: To present the epidemiology of the outbreak and the description of patients with infection or colonization of the respiratory tract caused by A. baumannii in an Internal Medicine ward.
Methods: 20 consecutively patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine ward were studied during 18 months with isolation of multiresistant A.
Our 10-year experience is reviewed of 27 cases of endobronchial metastasis diagnosed by bronchoscopy. Primary tumors were breast (15 cases), kidney, bladder, rectum and melanoma (two cases each), and stomach, gingiva, amygdala and penis (one case each). Their presentation was prior to primary neoplasm in two patients, simultaneously in three, and posterior in the remaining patients (mean 64 +/- 52 months).
