A complete clinico-epidemiological and microbiological profile of candidemia cases in a tertiary-care hospital in Western India.

Objective: To identify different spp along with antifungal susceptibility pattern and risk factors associated with candidemia.

Design Setting And Patients: This retrospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary-care academic hospital in Jaipur, Western India, for 3 years (July 2017-June 2020).

Methods: Blood cultures were performed according to standard microbiological methods, and only 1 isolate per patient was included in the study.

Causing Urinary Tract Infections: Are We Reaching a Dead End?

Background: The genus , earlier considered a rare pathogen, is now increasingly recognized as a notorious opportunistic pathogen capable of causing serious nosocomial infections, mainly urinary tract infections (UTIs). Treating these infections is an onerous task given the resistance seen in clinical strains to many currently available antimicrobials. The objective of the present study is to provide an overall view into the prevalence of spp.

A randomized comparison between pulse pressure variation and central venous pressure in patients undergoing renal transplantation.

Background And Aims: Intraoperative fluid management is important in renal transplant recipients with end-stage renal disease. Conventionally, central venous pressure (CVP) has been used to guide perioperative fluid administration but with high incidence of poor graft outcome. There is a requirement of reliable parameter to guide the fluid therapy in these patients so as to minimize the perioperative complications and improve the outcome.

Prevalence, epidemiology and clinical outcome of infections: Experience from a tertiary care hospital in Jaipur.

is identified as an emerging pathogen worldwide. It is multidrug resistant and causes invasive healthcare-associated infections. Our retrospective study was conducted to determine the prevalence and epidemiology of infections in a tertiary care hospital in Jaipur.

Prevalence of Bloodstream Infections and their Etiology in COVID-19 Patients Admitted in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Jaipur.

Background: World is in grip of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic right now. Majority of studies center around its epidemiological and clinical characteristics. Information regarding secondary bacterial infections is limited.

Oral teratoma in a neonate: A case report of anesthetic challenge.

Congenital teratoma of oral cavity in a neonate is a rare condition associated with compromised airway and challenges anesthesiologist in airway management. In this report, we describe a scenario of neonate with multiple oral teratoma, cleft palate, and bifid tongue who presented with respiratory distress for surgical excision of mass. The compromised airway can be successfully managed by appropriate prior planning and effective communication between anesthesiologist and surgical team.

A Case Report of Surgical Entrapment and Catheter Embolization: A Rare Complication of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters.

Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are a feasible alternative to conventional central venous access. PICCs are often used perioperatively for central venous pressure monitoring and administration of vasoactive drugs especially in cancer patients. Catheter breakage and embolization are rare but potentially fatal complications, and most of the reported literature pertains to pediatric patients after medium- to long-term use.

Microbial and Antibiotic Susceptibility Profile among Isolates of Clinical Samples of Cancer Patients Admitted in the Intensive Care Unit at Regional Tertiary Care Cancer Center: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Unlabelled: Cancer patients in intensive care unit (ICU) are vulnerable for developing multidrug resistant nosocomial infections. The antimicrobial resistance due to inappropriate use of antibiotics results in significant morbidity and mortality in these cancer patients. The present retrospective study was done to describe the antimicrobial sensitivity pattern of common organisms in isolates of clinical samples of patients admitted in ICU at our tertiary care cancer center.
