A Study on Rare Cases and Bacterial Infections in Children
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
The present was a short-term study and conducted for a period of five months in order to study the incident rate of bacterial infections that occur commonly and rarely in children. A total of 50 clinical samples like blood, urine, pus, stool, nasal secretions, sputum etc. were collected from children suffering with various types of diseases like urinary tract, gastro intestinal, skin, ear, upper and lower respiratory tract infections caused by bacteria. Positive growth was identified in 31 samples and the bacterial infections represented by Streptococcus pneumoniae (2 samples), Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (5), Staphylococcus aureus (3), Escherichia coli (3), Klebsiella species (2), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5), Citrobacter species (1), Enterococcus species (2), Coagulase negative staphylococci (5), Enterobacter species (1), Methicillin sensitive coagulase negative Staphylococcus aureus (2). Staphylococcus aureus was found to be the major pathogen isolated from the majority of clinical samples. The organism Staphylococcus aureus was also isolated from 5 years old boy suffering with Beta thalassemia Major and diagnosed with severe respiratory tract infections characterized by fever, cold, cough, and bronchiolitis. The antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the organisms was studied using Kirby-Bauer method
