ABSTRACT

Abstract OBJECTIVE Quantifying residual volume contained in vials of antibiotics used in pediatrics. METHOD This is an experiment involving samples from vials of antibiotics used in a pediatric hospital. Residual volume was identified by calculating the difference in weight measurement before and after the vials were washed. Evaluation of the residual volume difference in the vials was determined by the Wilcoxon non-parametric test for a sample and established at a significance level of 5%. RESULTS 105 samples of antibiotics were selected. The correct use of the antibiotics oxacillin (88.57%) and ceftriaxone (94.28%) predominated with low residual values. The same did not occur for procaine benzylpenicillin + potassium benzylpenicillin, since a greater residual volume was discarded in 74.28% of the vials. CONCLUSION We highlight the need for improvements in managing antibiotics in the institution under study, so that the excess volume of the antibiotics in the vials is used within the acceptable stable time. It is also necessary that the disposal of the residual volume be adequately disposed, since it presents a risk to public health and the environment.


Resumen OBJETIVO Cuantificar el volumen residual contenido en frascos-ampolla de antibióticos utilizados en pediatría. MÉTODO Se trata de un experimento con muestras de frascos-ampolla de antibióticos utilizados en hospital pediátrico. El volumen residual fue identificado calculándose la diferencia de la verificación del peso antes y después del lavado del frasco-ampolla. La evaluación de la diferencia de los volúmenes residuales en los frascos-ampolla fue determinada por la prueba no paramétrica de Wilcoxon para una muestra y establecido el nivel de significación del 5%. RESULTADOS Fueron seleccionadas 105 muestras de antibióticos. Predominó el correcto aprovechamiento de los antibióticos oxacilina (88,57%) y ceftriaxona (94,28%), con bajos valores residuales. Lo mismo no ocurrió con la bencilpenicilina procaína + potásica, pues en el 74,28% de los frascos hubo descarte de volumen residual superior. CONCLUSIÓN Se destaca la necesidad de mejorías en la gestión de los antibióticos en la institución en estudio, a fin de que el volumen excedente del antibiótico en frasco-ampolla se aproveche hasta el tiempo de estabilidad permitido, así como es necesario que haya la adecuación de la manera de descarte del volumen residual, que presenta riesgo a la salud pública y al medio ambiente.

ABSTRACT

The optimal and alternative antimicrobial regimens to treat neurosyphilis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients remain controversial. Little is known concerning the efficacy of ceftriaxone. A 75-year-old heterosexual man visited an outpatient clinic due to incidentally detected positive serum Venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) and Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed tests in routine preoperative checkup. Because of benzathine penicillin was unavailable to use, 4-week regimen with doxycycline was started. After 2 weeks doxycycline treatment, a severe headache suddenly occurred. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed mild lymphocyte-dominant pleocytosis, increased protein, and weakly reactive VDRL test. ELISA for HIV antibody and Western blot assay revealed he is infected with HIV. Initial CD4+ T cell count was 220/mm3 and the load of HIV RNA was 5,200 copies/mL. The most probable diagnosis was deemed to be neurosyphilis, considering the possibilities of Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction or doxycycline-induced pseudotumor cerebri. In the absence of procaine penicillin G in our hospital, intravenous ceftriaxone was administered and highly active antiretroviral therapy was started. After 14days of treatment, the patient no longer had a headache and the CSF profile was improved. Additional follow-up CSF analysis was done 3months after treatment. CSF pleocytosis and protein level were decreased and the CSF VDRL was converted to negative. Ceftriaxone may be a good alternative in the treatment of neurosyphilis in HIV infected patient.

ABSTRACT

ASO [Anti-sireptolysin O] antibody is formed in response to infection with streptococcal pyogenes. Measurement of ASO antibody titre is an important investigation of post streptococcal diseases, particularly rheumatic fever. Management of children with elevated levels of ASOT is still controversial some prefer medical therapy while other prefer surgical tonsillectomy. Is to define the best method of management of high ASOT through trial of three different therapeutic therapies which are the classic long acting BPG or recent macrolide oral azithromycin or tonsillectomy. The study enrolled 109 patients with a mean age 5.3 years. Group I [50 patients] were treated, with long acting BPG, Group II [40 patients] treated by oral azithromycin and Group III [19 patients] with tonsillectomy. Patients with failed medical treatment had undergone surgical tonsillectomy with follow up of their ASOT for 3 months. Surgical tonsillectomy revealed the highest curative rate 86.3% followed by long acting BPG 66% then oral azithromycin 62.5%. Conservative medical therapies should be the first line of management of high ASOT. Its failure urges the attempt for surgical tonsillectomy with a follow up period of 3 months at least for their ASOT

ABSTRACT

Con el objeto de evaluar la utilidad de tres distintos esquemas terapéuticos en la faringoamigdalitis aguda (FAA) no purulenta, se realizó un ensayo clínico controlado que comparó tres grupos de 30 pacientes cada uno: grupo A con tratamiento sintomático, grupo B tratado con penicilina procaínica por siete días más medicamentos sintomáticos, grupo C tratado con penicilina procaínica por dos días y con penicilina benzatínica por dos días y con penicilina benzatínica al tercer día, y sintomáticos. Este estudio nos permitió observar que no existieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas cuando comparamos los tres grupos, p> 0.6, p> 0.6 y p> 1, respectivamente. Se propone el tratamiento sintomático en la FAA para brindar mayor beneficio terapéutico y evitar el uso indiscriminado de antibióticos en la consulta de medicina familiar

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Comparar en el animal de experimentación la permeabilidad obtenida con parches de peritoneo autólogo versus el de vena autóloga y observar la epitelización del parche, tanto en el injerto peritoneal como en el venoso, así como su comportamiento clínico e histológico. Sede. Servicio de cirugía general del Hospital General de México, de la Secretaría de Salud. Diseño. Estudio prospectivo, experimental, longitudinal, con grupo control. Material. Se formaron dos grupos de 5 perros cada uno, con peso de entre 10 y 15 kg; en el grupo I se empleó parche de vena yugular externa, en el grupo II la herida fue reparada con parche de peritoneo perietal. En ambos grupos se provocó una herida intencional de la vena iliaca primitiva. Método. Los parches de vena y peritoneo se fijaron con prolene del seis ceros, como antiagregante plaquetario se empleó ácido acetilsalicílico, durante el transoperatorio se aplicó heparina y en el posoperatorio se inyectó penicilina procaínica por 10 días. La observación clínica fue entre 40 y 45 días. Al final se practicó flebografía y se sacrificó a los perros, la zona del parche se estudió por histopatología. Se emplearon la prueba exacta de Fisher y la de Kruskal. Resultados. Clínicamente no se detectaron datos anormales en ninguno de los dos grupos: en la flebografía se observó permeabilidad en el 100 por ciento de los parches venosos, en cambio, sólo dos parches peritoneales exhibieron 100 por ciento de permeabilidad, en uno 90 por ciento, en otro 60 por ciento y en uno 30 por ciento. No existió diferencia estadística en ambos grupos (p=0.083). Todos los parches venosos tuvieron endotelización, mientras en los del peritoneo no hubo ninguno (Diferencia estadística p=0.0040)

ABSTRACT

Foram estudadas fórmulas de tratamento de mamite por Staphylococcus aureus, em três rebanhos da "bacia" leiteira de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, com penicilina G potássica e G procaína (100000 UI) em associaçäo com sulfato de estreptomicina (1000 mg), em veículos aquoso-oleoso e aquoso, com e sem adiçäo de 20,0 por cento de dimetilsulfóxido (DMSO). A associaçäo destes antibióticos obteve percentuais médios de glândulas negativas à bacteriologia, às 120 horas pós aplicaçäo única, de 70,5 por cento, em veículo aquoso-oleoso e 79,4 por cento, em veículo aquoso. A melhoria da açäo das fórmulas medicamentosas devido à adiçäo do DMSO foi significativa apenas no rebanho com mamite crônica

ABSTRACT

Physicians working in casualty and outpatient departments where adverse conditions prevail often prescribe antibiotic prophylaxis routinely at the time of suture repair of simple wounds. To evaluate this practice, we performed a randomized, controlled study of parenteral chemoprophylaxis of simple wounds undergoing suture repair. Uncomplicated wounds were randomized to either treatment with a combination of benzathine penicillin (2.4 million units) and procaine penicillin (2.0 million units) intramuscularly, or a control group. At the time of suture removal, seven days later, all wounds were reviewed for signs of infection. Of 320 patients enrolled in the study, 173 (54.1%) returned for review. Among treated wounds, 75 of 81 (92.6%) were healing, compared to 79 of 92 (85.9%) controls (p=0.24). A significantly higher rate of healing was observed when wounds repaired nine or more hours after injury and involving the arms, legs, or trunk were treated (22 of 23, 95.7%) compared to those in whom prophylaxis was omitted (20 of 30, 66.7%) (p=0.03). Wounds involving the head, and wounds repaired within nine hours after injury had a high rate of healing (>90%), whether prophylaxed or not. Based on a 30% higher healing rate for the patients who benefitted from treatment (arm, leg, trunk wounds repaired after nine or more hours), the drug cost of implementing prophylaxis for this group alone was more than five times that of an expectant, non-prophylactic strategy. These results serve to remind practitioners of the possibility that a clinically effective mode of therapy may not necessarily be cost-effective in the delivery of health care.

ABSTRACT

Hepatitis is a known manifestation of congenital syphilis, however hepatitis developing during penicillin therapy is unknown. Ten patients of congenital syphilis were studied and serial liver enzymes were done before and after starting penicillin therapy. Eight of the ten patients developed hepatitis after initiating penicillin therapy. Whether hepatitis in these cases was secondary to toxic reaction to the products of treponemal lysis or an autoimmune reaction needs to be investigated.

ABSTRACT

Ensaio clínico randomizado com dois grupos de crianças com pneumonia aguda, em tratamento abulatorial. O primeiro grupo recebeu penicilina benzatina intramuscular, em dose única e o segundo penicilina procaína intramuscular, de 12 em 12 horas, durante 5 dias. Os dois esquemas terapêuticos säo igualmente eficazes e por isso os autores sugerem a adoçäo do esquema com penicilina benzatina por ser eficiente, mais prático, menos desonfortável para a criança e menos oneroso para a família
