| [epidemiology of osteomyelitis and arthritis in infants]. | a retrospective study realised over 10 years in the orthopaedic unit of the children's hospital of tunis allowed to collect 206 cases of osteomyelitis and arthritis in infant (3 months--3 years old). in 74.6% of the cases, infection involved the joint. there is a single focus of the infection in 92.6% of the cases, more often at the lower limbs. the pathogen has been isolated in 33% of the cases. staphylococcus aureus (52 %) is the more frequent pathogen, especially in osteomyelitis. enterobater ... | 2002 | 12534044 |
| [study of haemophilus influenzae strains isolated at the tunis children's hospital in the prevaccination era (1999-2002)]. | this study had for aim to define the pattern of haemophilus influenzae infections in a tunisian hospital during the prevaccination era. we determined serotypes, biotypes, and antibiotic susceptibility of h. influenzae strains. | 2006 | 16842955 |
| [beta lactam resistance and molecular markers of 157 haemophilus influenzae isolates from infants in tunis]. | the aim of this study was to precise the capsular type of haemophilus influenzae, to determine its susceptibility to beta-lactam agents, and to search for an eventual clonality between the clinical strains of the pathogen. polymerase chain reaction was carried out to confirm the capsular type and to determine the beta-lactamase type. minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) of beta-lactam agents for h. influenzae were determined by the agar dilution method on haemophilus test medium, and the str ... | 2009 | 19483779 |
