“…[4] Economic factors are one of the most important axes that can't be underestimated in terms of the success of treatment plan, or receiving treatment, as economic factors are the main axis in the occurrence or elimination of disease, as stated in the conflict theory and its concepts centered on economic factors and what can produce from various effects. [5] Medical sociology is concerned with the factors that led to the occurrence of the disease, in addition to the factors that help to get rid of it such as economic factors, housing conditions, the patient's job, pressures and social influences that could lead to the emergence of the disease.

The study aimed to identify the relation between renal failure disease and economic difficulties and to identify the patients' attitudes regarding health insurance policies, the quality of services provided according to the type of insurance and their role in reducing those difficulties by social survey method on sample of (40) patients. Results: The economic impact, Jordanian patients holding governmental health insurance suffers the most according to the results , and have high statistically significant, compared to patients of other nationalities. Jordanian renal failure patient holders of governmental health insurance dissatisfaction regarding policies and procedures related to obtaining and renewing health insurance. There is a high level of patients' satisfaction with the quality of services provided to them in Jordan Hospital, where the level of this satisfaction was not affected by the type of insurance and nationality. Recommendations: create a mechanism allows health insurance to cover other aspects which will reduce economic burden on indigent patients, such as transportation allowances, medical tests in the same hospital that the renal patient visits. improve performance and deal more professionally with patients and their families.

Background &Method: The aim of this study is to study Isolation and identification of Candida albicans and non candida albicans species in all clinical specimens received at Tertiary Care Centre.A detail history was taken with demographic details. Patient’s hospital records were used to know the use of any antifungal agents and past medical conditions. Result: 23.3% of the patients of age group < 1 year, followed by (16.6%) 41-50 years of age group and 6.6% of patients are 61-70 years of age group. 56.6% were male patients and 43.3% were female.53.4 % were Candida albicans and 46.6% were non-albicans Candida spp. By using unpaired t test, P value- 0.041, which is less than 0.05, hence it is statistically significant. Conclusion: C. albicans remains the main species but increasing incidence of non albicans Candida spp. has also been reported, and their antifungal drug susceptibility among patients visiting our tertiary care hospital. An increase in the predisposing conditions in recent years has resulted in an increasing incidence of Candida infections. Among 3000 of total samples processed during the study period, 30 isolates were positive for Candida infection. So prevalence rate was 0.81%.

Invasion of the blood stream by microorganisms constitutes one of the most serious situations in infectious disease. Aim: The aim of this study was to identify the bacteria that caused blood stream infections. Methods: This six months prospective and observational study was performed in the department of microbiology at All India institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), New Delhi, India, on 280 blood samples of patients admitted in wards and various ICUs. Microbial detection and identification were done by fully automated BacT/Alert 3D and VITEK 2 systems, respectively. Results: Of the 280 suspected cases, blood culture was positive in 186 (66.4%) cases. Of the 186 isolates, 123 (66.12%) were Gram negative bacterial isolates of which the predominant were Klebsiella pneumoniae (27.64%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (16.26%), and Escherchia coli (15.44%). Of the positive isolates, 63 (33.87%) were Gram positive bacteria of which MRSA (36.50%) was the predominant organism followed by MSSA (31.74%) and MRCoNS (17.46%). Conclusion: In this study, blood culture was positive in a relatively high proportion of suspected cases of blood stream infections. Automation has higher sensitivity and specificity than conventional methods and can help in significantly reducing mortality and morbidity of blood stream infections.
