| congenital and nosocomial sepsis in infants born in a regional perinatal unit: cause, outcome, and white blood cell response. | the incidence, cause, and outcome of sepsis and the white blood cell response were studied in 6315 infants born in a regional perinatal unit. the incidence of neonatal sepsis was 6.5 per 1000 live births. congenital sepsis (12 cases) was overwhelming, with associated maternal infection (92%), neutropenia (75%), and high rate of mortality (50%). the most common organism was escherichia coli (58%). gestational age and birth weight were similar in survivors and nonsurvivors. there was a strong corr ... | 1987 | 3548372 |
| association of microbiologic flora with clinical, endoscopic, and pulmonary cytologic findings in foals with distal respiratory tract infection. | undifferentiated distal respiratory tract disease (nasal discharge, cough, pneumonia) in foals (1 to 8 months old) is a burdensome economic problem on breeding farms; yet, the infective agents associated with these episodes have not been well described. possible causes of these episodes of illness were investigated by culturing specimens of proximal and distal airways of clinically diseased foals (n = 101), prior to any treatment, for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and viruses (rhinoviruses, equ ... | 1993 | 8250386 |
| tertiary peritonitis: clinical features of a complex nosocomial infection. | the objective of this study was to define risk factors for and the clinical course of recurrent or tertiary peritonitis. intensive supportive care of patients with life-threatening intraabdominal infections has led to the emergence of a new clinical syndrome, tertiary peritonitis, defined as the persistence or recurrence of intraabdominal infection following apparently adequate therapy of primary or secondary peritonitis. we undertook a retrospective study of 59 patients admitted with intraabdom ... | 1998 | 9451931 |

| septicemia due to coagulase-negative staphylococcus in a community hospital. | the experience with septicemia due to coagulase-negative staphylococcus at a 623-bed primary care hospital between 1980 and 1984 was reviewed. a total of 38 episodes in 37 patients were documented; data were available on 37 episodes in 36 patients. the organism accounted for 3.8% of all cases of septicemia and 6.7% of cases of nosocomial septicemia and was associated with 0.03% of all admissions. the incidence remained stable over the 5 years. the rate of survival 28 days after the episode was 7 ... | 1987 | 3594342 |
