Infection type and short-term mortality in patients with infection-associated disseminated intravascular coagulation: a cohort study.
Infect Dis (Lond)
January 2025
Department of Clinical Epidemiology and Center for Population Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital and Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: Severe infection is the most frequent disease underlying disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). To improve understanding of the clinical course, we examined the association between infection type and short-term mortality in patients with infection-associated DIC.
Methods: Patients with infection-associated DIC registered in the Danish Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DANDIC) cohort were categorised by infection type: pulmonary, intra-abdominal, urogenital, others, multiple infection sites and unknown foci.

Article Synopsis
- Fluroquinolone resistance in Enterobacteriaceae, including Proteus, poses a significant public health threat, particularly affecting treatments for UTIs and intra-abdominal infections.
- The study aimed to identify specific quinolone resistance genes in ciprofloxacin-resistant Proteus species within a defined timeframe and location in Bangladesh.
- Results showed a high prevalence (64.58%) of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance genes among resistant isolates, indicating a concerning trend that could lead to increased resistance and transmission due to over-prescription of fluoroquinolones.

Rupture of a hydatid cyst can lead to the development of a disseminated form of intra-abdominal cystic echinococcosis if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Anaphylactic shock is a definite indication of cyst rupture. The presented clinical case was a young athlete with a disseminated form of cystic echinococcosis, which was investigated in 2023 at the Syzganov National Scientific Center for Surgery of Kazakhstan.

June 2024
Division of Trauma, Department of Surgery, Campinas University Faculty of Medicine, Campinas, Brazil.
Objectives: The inferior vena cava (IVC) is one of the most frequent injured intra-abdominal vessels and its treatment requires prompt action. Despite advances in reanimation in last decades, there has not been proportional improvement in IVC mortality. This report aims to discuss the mortality predictive factors including the adherence to balanced reanimation and damage control surgery (DCS) in daily trauma assistance, their repercussions on outcomes, comparing our institution outcomes to literature.
