Nosocomical Infection

Infections developing in hospitalized patients

and were neither present nor incubating at

time of admission

Background

Neonatal deaths constitute about 40% of deaths in children under 5 years

Martines J, et al. Lancet. 2005

Neonatal infections are responsible for approximately one third of the estimated 4.0 million neonatal deaths that occur globally every year

Lawn JE, et al Lancet. 2005.

infections may be responsible for 8% to 80% of all neonatal deaths and as many as 42% of deaths in the first week of life.

Rates of neonatal sepsis are as high as

170/1000 live births (clinically diagnosed) and 5.5/1000 live births (blood culture-confirmed).

USA Data

The CDC estimates some 90,000 to 100,000 people die from NI each year, and that it costs $4.6 billion per year to treat them. Nosocomial infections are now the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S., right after such other killers as stroke, cancer and heart disease.

Hospital-based data suggest alarming rates of resistance to ampicillin and gentamicin, the first-line antimicrobial agents

Durrane et al: Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal 28 (1):s19-s21,2009

71% of Klebsiella and 50% of Escherichia coli are reportedly resistant to gentamicin,

The challenge for medicine is to attempt to treat disease with as minimal disruption to the patient’s physiology and normal host flora as possible.

el-Teheawy et al. in Egypt in 1988 reported that >80% of admitted patients were prescribed antibiotics, in many cases without documented proof of infection.

Among these patients, >30% received repeated courses, with no apparent indication.

Antimicrobial resistance

10 relevant reports were retrievedE. coli were ampicillin (72%) and cotrimoxazole%) resistant;

19% were resistant to third generation cephalosporins.

Klebsiella species, almost all were resistant to ampicillin, , and 66% to third generation cephalosporins. Resistance to gentamicin was low among E. coli (13%), but

much higher among Klebsiella species (60%). Methicillin resistance S. aureus (MRSA) was rare (1 of 33isolates) but 46% were resistant to cotrimoxazole

They suggested a potentially high rate of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)

Our results call for further epidemiological studies to define whether ESBLs are highly endemic in the community.

Our results call for implementation of a regional and nationwide surveillance system to monitor antimicrobial resistance trends in Egypt

Addressed Questions

1.What is the feasibility and effectiveness of approaches to improve aseptic practices in labor rooms, maternity pediatric wards and nurseries?

2. What is the feasibility and effectiveness of approaches to increase quality of care in hospitals, such as using standardized protocols for management of infections in hospitals?

Research priorities Other Than Health Policy and Systems Research

Identification of new interventions to prevent transmission of infections during childbirth, eg, chlorhexidine vaginal douche, immune modulators like zinc to mothers.

Epidemiology What is the incidence of

nosocomial neonatal sepsis in nurseries and postnatal wards of developing countries?

Two recent factors influencing infection control are:

use of antibiotic-bonded vascular catheters and access to alcohol hand-cleansing materials that improve handwashing compliance

D Thornby et al 1999

Change of technology or Behaviour?

the former will likely be 5 to 10 times more effective, but at substantially increased cost. Neither, however, is mutually exclusive, and both need to be in place.
