The epidemiologic features of infectious hemodialysis patients in the sec-ond affiliated hospital of Wenzhou medical college / 中国现代医生

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the epidemiological features of infection among hemodialysis patients. Methods A total of 55 hemodialysis hospitalized patients diagnosed with infection were enrolled in this retrospective study from April 2010 to Augest 2013. Clinical date from 55 patients, were collected and analyzed with SPSS software. Results The 55 hemodialysis patients in 60 cases time got infected during the study, and the infection rate was 28.57%. Age, diabetes, hemoglobin were risk factors for infection. Pathogenic analysis showed 51.67% of infection was caused by gram-positive bacteria, 36.67% of infection was caused by gram-negative bacteria. The infection sites included vascu-lar access infection (43.33%) and lung infecton (48.33%). Drug sensitive tests showed that drug resistant rate of gram-positive bacteria to penicillin, ceftazidime, levofloxacin, streptomycin was high. There was no significance in the sea-sonal distribution of infection. Conclusion Infection rate is high in hemodialysis patients. Vascular access infection and lung infection are dominant infection sites.Drug resistance rate is high in infectious hemodialysis patients.
