Épidémiologie des infections nosocomiales en néonatalogie

Abstract

Epidemiology of nosocomial infections in neonates has to be described according to our definitions (early onset GBS diseases excluded) and according to levels of care. Nosocomial risk exists in maternity departments (3% in postnatal beds), incidence rates are 7.5-12.7% or 1.3-8.5 per 1000 days in neonatal care units and 14.2% or 11.7 per 1000 days in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). Gram-positive cocci bloodstream infections are the most common nosocomial infections in NICU but viral gastroenteritis are more frequent in neonatal care units. Risk factors are low birthweight, small gestational age and intravascular catheter in NICU, and for viral nosocomial infections, visits and winter outbreaks.

Surveillance des infections nosocomiales: bilan de quatre années d’enquête de prévalence « un jour donné » dans le département Mère-Enfant de l’hôpital Principal de Dakar (Sénégal)

“…Nous n'avons pas rencontré ces problèmes dans l'unité de néonatologie de l'HPD. Il en est de même pour d'autres facteurs de risque, comme le faible poids de naissance (non précisé au cours de nos enquêtes), la présence d'une pathologie maternelle, le déroulement de l'accouchement (dystocique ou non) et l'utilisation d'une ventilation mécanique [18][19][20].…”

Chemical Composition of Essential Oils From Vitex Agnus-Castus L. Growing in Morocco and Its in Vitro Antibacterial Activity Against Clinical Bacteria Responsible for Nosocomial Infections

“…There is no study to the best of our knowledge on the antibacterial activity of essential oils against bacteria responsible for nosocomial infections in neonatal intensive care in Mororcco. The only reports related to nosocomial infections in neonate were limited to epidemiological studies [2,22]. The first work concerning the antibacterial effect of essential oils against some bacteria causing nosocomial infections in neonatal intensive care services was carried out in our laboratory for clove essential oil by Taroq et al [23].…”

Investigating Catheter-Related Infections in Southern Benin Hospitals: Identification, Susceptibility, and Resistance Genes of Involved Bacterial Strains

“…(2.1%), Shigella sonnei (2.1%), Staphylococcus aureus (4.3%), and Yersinia pestis (4.3%). According to Lachassinne et al [ 32 ], Gram-positive cocci, such as Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus , are involved in 75% of catheter-related infections. Our results align with these findings.…”
