“…In this study, hygiene-related gastrointestinal infections refer to infections of bacterial, viral or parasitic origin that cause inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, i.e., the stomach, small intestines and the colon [ 27 ]. As noted by Liu et al [ 28 ], stress is a state of threatened homeostasis provoked by a psychological, environmental, or physiological stressor.…”

Background: With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2, protocols such as social distancing and upscaling of hygiene practices were implemented to limit the spread of the disease. Meanwhile, along with COVID-19 came stress due to restrictions on movement, trade and transport, and closure of schools, among others. Aim: This study compared the prevalence of hygiene-related gastrointestinal infections and stress-related diseases before (March 2019–February 2020) and during (March 2020–February 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: This was a retrospective single-center review of deidentified patient data from the Korle Bu Polyclinic, Accra, Ghana. Results: Comparing the pre-COVID-19 era to the COVID-19 era, there was a statistically nonsignificant change in the number of cases and prevalence of gastroenteritis and enteric fever (p = 0.084 and 0.081, respectively), although for gastroenteritis, the prevalence was higher for the pre-COVID-19 era compared to during COVID-19 by 1.8 per 1000 cases, while that of enteric fever was higher during the COVID-19 era compared to the pre-COVID-19 era by 1.0 per 1000 cases. Of the stress-related diseases, statistically significant increases in the prevalence of anxiety disorders (p = 0.028), insomnia (p = 0.001), and headache (p = 0.010), were noted, with 2.3, 5.5, and 2.4 per 1000 cases, respectively. There were more female cases than male cases recorded for depression (p = 0.001), headache (p = 0.010), and hypertension (p = 0.001) during the pandemic, and these were statistically significant. Conclusion: During the pandemic, a significant increase in the prevalence of stress-related diseases was observed. However, a statistically nonsignificant change was recorded for gastrointestinal infections, with females reporting more of these disorders. Consequently, it is important to strengthen the capacity for managing stress-related conditions alongside diseases that cause pandemics when they arise.

Đặt vấn đề: Tình trạng các tác nhân vi khuẩn đề kháng kháng sinh ở bệnh Nhi đang nổi lên ngày càng gia tăng đặc biệt là ở những bệnh nhân nhiễm khuẩn tiêu hóa và thận tiết niệu. Do đó việc xác định tác nhân gây bệnh và đề kháng kháng sinh là vô cùng cần thiết. Mục tiêu: Xác định tỉ lệ các tác nhân và tỉ lệ đề kháng kháng sinh của vi khuẩn gây bệnh đường tiêu hóa, thận tiết niệu. Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Mô tả cắt ngang - Từ 04/2022-8/2022 tại Khoa Vi sinh - Bệnh viện Nhi Đồng Thành phố. Kết quả: Thu thập 115 chủng trong đó mẫu phân: 89 chủng; nước tiểu: 26 chủng. Các tác nhân vi khuẩn thường gặp trong mẫu phân là Escherichia coli, Salmonella enterica cho tỉ lệ đề kháng trên 70% là Ampicillin (88.1%), Cefazolin (78.5%), Cefuroxime (75%), Piperacillin (72.5%), trong mẫu nước tiểu thường gặp là Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae cho tỉ lệ đề kháng trên 80% là Ampicillin (95.2%), Levofloxacin (81.8%), Cefuroxime (100%), Trimethoprime/Sulfamethoxazol (94.7%), Cefazolin (100%), Ciprofloxacin (82.6%), Cefotaxime (83.3%). Kết luận: Trong mẫu phân và nước tiểu tác nhân nhiễm khuẩn phân lập được đa số là trực khuẩn Gram âm. Các chủng vi khuẩn gây nhiễm khuẩn tiêu hóa và thận tiết niệu rất đa dạng và có xu hướng gia tăng đề kháng kháng sinh.

“…Caused by a wide range of bacterial, viral, and parasitic agents, GTIs are often related to poor sanitation and poverty in developing countries and seasonality, travel, foodborne transmission, and nosocomial infection in developed countries [ 1 ]. GTI symptoms often include diarrhea or dysentery [ 2 ] and are frequently self-limiting but can also lead to severe debilitation or death, especially in developing countries. Diarrhea caused by GTIs ranked among the top causes of death and disability-adjusted life-years worldwide in 2019 [ 3 ], and in the United States, foodborne illness affects an estimated 1 in 6 people annually at a cost of >$15.6 billion [ 4 ].…”
