Information network and data base in clinical diagnosis and bacterial sensibility surveillance - a special requirement in acute diarrhoea control and monitoring into a regional area

摘要

Worldwide acute diarrhoea constitutes a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Acute diarrhoea is usually caused by infection, with viruses, bacteria, parasites. Bacteria involved in acute diarrhoea may be detected by culture from the stool of ill person. For a correct and quick treatment of patients with acute diarrhoea, is very useful, to investigate the resistance/susceptibility to antibiotics of the pathogen bacteria isolates. Testing the susceptibility to antibiotics needs time (2-3 days) and can delay the beginning of the treatment. The aim of our work was to argue, based on medical evidences, the necessity of establishment of a unique electronic medical data base, containing daily updated information about the resistance to antibiotics of pathogen germs, isolated from patients with acute diarrhoea. All medical services (hospitals, policlinics, laboratories) involved in etiological diagnosis of the diarrhoea will permanent fill in medical information into data base. The information could be permanently accessed through networks by all users being specialists in different medical fields.
