BACTERAEMIA FOLLOWING ENDOSCOPIC AND ENDOUROLOGICAL PROCEDURES IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
A total of 250 consecutive patients attending the Urology department of a tertiary care hospital of Punjab were studied to investigate the incidence, microbial causes, duration and risk factors of bacteraemia following various endoscopic and endourological procedures. Bacteraemia was observed in 30.4% (76/250)of patients. Although, it was observed after minor procedures like cathetrisation and cystoscopy, but it was most common after prostatic surgery TUR-P (42.8%). It occurred within one hour of procedure in most of the patients and had a transitory life of few hours. No case developed symptomatic blood stream infection. Pre-operative bacteriuria was present in 47.2% of patients and 39.5% had similar organisms in blood and urine. Statistical concordance between the blood and urine isolates was insignificant (p=0.14). Most common organism causing bacteraemia was coagulase negative staphylococci followed by Esch. coli and pseudomonas. All these organisms showed resistance to all the first line drugs.
