  • Feeding back surveillance data to prevent hospitalacquired infections
    Feeding back surveillance data to prevent hospital-acquired infections.
    Gaynes, R. ;
    Richards, C.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):295-298.
    We describe the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance system. Elements of the system critical for successful reduction of nosocomial infection rates include voluntary participation and confidentiality; standard definitions and protocols; identification of populations at high risk; site-specific, ri ...

  • Improving adherence to hand hygiene practice a multidisciplinary approach
    Improving adherence to hand hygiene practice: a multidisciplinary approach.
    Pittet, D.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):234-240.
    Hand hygiene prevents cross-infection in hospitals, but health-care workers' adherence to guidelines is poor. Easy, timely access to both hand hygiene and skin protection is necessary for satisfactory hand hygiene behavior. Alcohol- based hand rubs may be better than traditional handwashing as they require less time, act faster, are less irritating ...

    Automated methods for surveillance of surgical site infections.
    Platt, R. ;
    Yokoe, D. S.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):212-216.
    Automated data, especially from pharmacy and administrative claims, are available for much of the U.S. population and might substantially improve both inpatient and postdischarge surveillance for surgical site infections complicating selected procedures, while reducing the resources required. Potential improvements include better sensitivity, less ...

    Antiseptic technology: access, affordability, and acceptance.
    Boyce, J. M.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):231-233.
    Factors other than antimicrobial activity of soaps and antiseptic agents used for hand hygiene by health personnel play a role in compliance with recommendations. Hand hygiene products differ considerably in acceptance by hospital personnel. If switching from a nonmedicated soap to an antiseptic agent or increased use of an existing antiseptic agen ...

  • Emerging mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance
    Emerging mechanisms of fluoroquinolone resistance.
    Hooper, D. C.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):337-341.
    Broad use of fluoroquinolones has been followed by emergence of resistance, which has been due mainly to chromosomal mutations in genes encoding the subunits of the drugs' target enzymes, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, and in genes that affect the expression of diffusion channels in the outer membrane and multidrug-resistance efflux systems. Resi ...

  • Ventilatorassociated pneumonia or not Contemporary diagnosis
    Ventilator-associated pneumonia or not? Contemporary diagnosis.
    Mayhall, C. G.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):200-204.
    Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is pneumonia in patients who have been on mechanical ventilation for > or =48 hours. VAP is most accurately diagnosed by quantitative culture and microscopy examination of lower respiratory tract secretions, which are best obtained by bronchoscopically directed techniques such as the protected specimen brush an ...

  • Cloud healthcare workers
    "Cloud" health-care workers.
    Sherertz, R. J. ;
    Bassetti, S.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):241-244.
    Certain bacteria dispersed by health-care workers can cause hospital infections. Asymptomatic health-care workers colonized rectally, vaginally, or on the skin with group A streptococci have caused outbreaks of surgical site infection by airborne dispersal. Outbreaks have been associated with skin colonization or viral upper respiratory tract infec ...

  • Preventing surgical site infections a surgeons perspective
    Preventing surgical site infections: a surgeon's perspective.
    Nichols, R. L.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):220-224.
    Wound site infections are a major source of postoperative illness, accounting for approximately a quarter of all nosocomial infections. National studies have defined the patients at highest risk for infection in general and in many specific operative procedures. Advances in risk assessment comparison may involve use of the standardized infection ra ...

  • The impact of hospitalacquired bloodstream infections
    The impact of hospital-acquired bloodstream infections.
    Wenzel, R. P. ;
    Edmond, M. B.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):174-177.
    Nosocomial bloodstream infections are a leading cause of death in the United States. If we assume a nosocomial infection rate of 5%, of which 10% are bloodstream infections, and an attributable mortality rate of 15%, bloodstream infections would represent the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. Because most risk factors for dying af ...

  • Engineering out the risk for infection with urinary catheters
    Engineering out the risk for infection with urinary catheters.
    Maki, D. G. ;
    Tambyah, P. A.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):342-347.
    Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is the most common nosocomial infection. Each year, more than 1 million patients in U.S. acute-care hospitals and extended-care facilities acquire such an infection; the risk with short-term catheterization is 5% per day. CAUTI is the second most common cause of nosocomial bloodstream infection, a ...

    Cost-effective infection control success story: a case presentation.
    Slater, F.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):293-294.
    In a surgical intensive care unit, the 1996-1997 incidence of central catheter-associated bloodstream infections exceeded that of hospitals participating in the National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System. Interventions were implemented, and a cost-benefit analysis was done that led to hiring a vascular catheter care nurse. Subsequent outcom ...

  • Emerging waterborne infections in healthcare settings
    Emerging waterborne infections in health-care settings.
    Emmerson, A. M.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):272-276.
    Water is used in vast quantities in health-care premises. Many aquatic microorganisms can survive and flourish in water with minimal nutrients and can be transferred to vulnerable hospital patients in direct (e.g., inhalation, ingestion, surface absorption) and indirect ways (e.g., by instruments and utensils). Many outbreaks of infection or pseudo ...

  • Emerging health careassociated infections in the geriatric population
    Emerging health care-associated infections in the geriatric population.
    Strausbaugh, L. J.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):268-271.
    The increasing number of persons >65 years of age form a special population at risk for nosocomial and other health care-associated infections. The vulnerability of this age group is related to impaired host defenses such as diminished cell-mediated immunity. Lifestyle considerations, e.g., travel and living arrangements, and residence in nursing h ...

  • Molecular approaches to diagnosing and managing infectious diseases practicality and costs
    Molecular approaches to diagnosing and managing infectious diseases: practicality and costs.
    Pfaller, M. A.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):312-318.
    As molecular techniques for identifying and detecting microorganisms in the clinical microbiology laboratory have become routine, questions about the cost of these techniques and their contribution to patient care need to be addressed. Molecular diagnosis is most appropriate for infectious agents that are difficult to detect, identify, or test for ...

  • Emergence of vancomycinresistant enterococci
    Emergence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
    Rice, L. B.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):183-187.
    Vancomycin and ampicillin resistance in clinical Enterococcus faecium strains has developed in the past decade. Failure to adhere to strict infection control to prevent the spread of these pathogens has been well established. New data implicate the use of specific classes of antimicrobial agents in the spread of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VR ...

  • Economic impact of antimicrobial resistance
    Economic impact of antimicrobial resistance.
    McGowan, J. E.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):286-292.
    One reason antimicrobial-drug resistance is of concern is its economic impact on physicians, patients, health-care administrators, pharmaceutical producers, and the public. Measurement of cost and economic impact of programs to minimize antimicrobial-drug resistance is imprecise and incomplete. Studies to describe and evaluate the problem will have ...

  • Can managed health care help manage health careassociated infections
    Can managed health care help manage health care-associated infections?
    Platt, R. ;
    Caldwell, B.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):358-362.
    Managed-care organizations have a unique opportunity, still largely unrealized, to collaborate with health-care providers and epidemiologists to prevent health care-associated infections. Several attributes make these organizations logical collaborators for infection control programs: they have responsibility for defined populations of enrollees an ...

  • Preventing nosocomial Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in international settings
    Preventing nosocomial Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission in international settings.
    Hong, S. W.
    2001 Mar-Apr | Emerg Infect Dis. 7(2):245-248.
    Tuberculosis (TB) is a worldwide disease, and nosocomial transmission is known to occur. Authoritative preventive guidelines such as the one developed by the Centers for Disease Control have been published, but the expenses for implementing them can be prohibitive. Each country needs to develop its own protocol to prevent nosocomial transmission of ...
