The study aimed to describe the clinical, laboratory, and microbiologic profile of adult Filipino patients with febrile neutropenia, and to determine specific parameters that are potentially associated with severe outcomes, complications, and mortality.
The second most frequent pathogen is S. aureus [ 2, 3, 10, 11] Previously published microbiologic profile of CSF shunt infections is showed in Table 4.
No changes in the microbiologic profile of airway secretions in patients with nonmucoid and mucoid P. aeruginosa infection were observed between DI and DII.
The lack of good quality studies regarding different focus apart from pneumonia prevented an accurate description of the expected microbiologic profile for each of the major focus of infection.
List of included studies describing the microbiologic profile by foci and place of acquisition of infection.
This prospective study was designed to assess the current clinical course, risk factors, microbiologic profile and echocardiographic findings of patients with left-sided endocarditis and perivalvular complications.
Secondary outcomes included: quality of life, lung function, sputum volume, the degree of dyspnea, adverse events, participants withdrawn due to side effects, changes of microbiologic profile in sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) or nasal swab, and macrolide resistance.
In terms of the microbiologic profile detected in the respiratory secretions at the end of the study, there was a highly statistically-significant reduction in M. catarrhalis (OR = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.60, P value = 0.007, I = 0) and S. pneumoniae (OR = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.18 to 0.91, P value = 0.03, I = 52) among patients taking long-term macrolides versus the control group.
The new appearance of a microbiologic profile or participant withdrawal due to adverse events showed no significant differences between the two groups.
This result should be carefully analyzed and does not exclude the necessity of monitoring the local microbiologic profile in each dialysis center to choice the initial therapeutic protocol.
This result should be carefully analyzed, and an emphasis should be placed on the necessity of monitoring the local microbiologic profile in each center regarding the initial therapeutic choice.
