The prevalence and diagnostic criteria of health-care associated infections in neonatal intensive care units in Turkey: A multicenter point- prevalence study
2021, Pediatrics and NeonatologyCitation Excerpt :It is essential to monitor infection rates for each medical center individually and also generally in a country to provide safe and high-quality healthcare services3 because the incidence and causes of infections vary widely among neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).2,4 For instance, the prevalence of infection is higher in developing countries, where Gram-negative bacteria are usually reported to be the predominant pathogens.5 Point Prevalence Surveys are examples of studies that collect information relevant to the management of infectious diseases in hospitalized patients and complement surveillance.6,7

2015, Jornal de PediatriaCitation Excerpt :The presence of coagulase-negative staphylococci as one of the main LOS agents in the BNRN (60% of cases) may have favored the use of vancomycin in the empiric therapy. The use of antibiotics, as well as time of use, must be strictly monitored and reassessed, and empirical therapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics should be avoided.27,28 Once the diagnosis of infection is ruled out, these antibiotics should be discontinued immediately, and if the presence of the agent is confirmed in blood or other sterile fluids, gradual antimicrobial dosing decrease should always be performed.
