Etude Bacteriologique sur 30 Mois dans un Service de Brulés

摘要

A preliminary retrospective study of microbiological tests was conducted over the period June 2003 to December 2005 at the Ibn-sina Universitary Hospital Burns Centre in Annaba (Algeria). A total number of 633 positive test results were recorded: wound swabs (78%), blood (9%), lung (4%), central venous catheter (3%), urine (3%), and urinary catheter (3%). Positive gram micro-organisms were significantly more frequent than negative ones. The bacteria isolated were: Staphylococcus (58%), Pseudomonas (20%), Candida albicans (5%), Acinetobacter (3%), and others (14%). Of the Staphylococci and Pseudomonas considered, respectively 19% and 11% proliferated during the first week and 43% and 52% after day 21. This study highlights the finding that the predominant bacterial pathogens were Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas. Significant changes were noted in their isolation frequency in relation to the duration of hospitalization. Bacteriological contamination from technical resuscitation equipment is commonly encountered by all medical teams.
