Outbreak of nosocomial sepsis and pneumonia in a newborn intensive care unit by multiresistant extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae: high impact on mortality.

We describe a case-control study of a small outbreak of nosocomial sepsis and pneumonia with high mortality due to clonal dissemination of a multiresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in the neonatal intensive care unit of a Mexican institution. Our study helped to change nosocomial infection control policy in this hospital.

[Incidence of nosocomial bacteremia and pneumonia in pediatric unit].

Objective: To determine the incidence of catheter-related bacteremia and ventilator-associated pneumonia in children admitted to a secondary care hospital.

Material And Methods: A prospective active surveillance system was conducted from January 1999 to June 2000, at the Hospital General of Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social in Durango, Mexico. Daily visits to the pediatric ward were conducted to detect episodes of bacteremia and pneumonia, according to the Official Mexican Norm.

[Atypical regenerative changes, dysplasia, and carcinoma in situ in chronic gastritis associated with Helicobacter pylori].

In the present work we study the association between chronic active gastritis (CAG), atypical regeneration and dysplasia and gastric Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection. We study two groups of endoscopic biopsies. Regenerative changes and dysplasia were evaluated according to Gandur-Maymneh et al.
