Critical Care Clinics, 1988
Nosocomial pneumonia remains a challenging problem in critically ill patients in terms of both diagnosis and therapy. The clinical picture is often confusing; confounding factors such as congestive heart failure, ARDS, and interstitial lung disease may obscure the presence of pneumonia. Previous antimicrobial therapy or the presence of large numbers of

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2007
Scabies is a parasitic dermatosis with a worldwide distribution. This infestation affects millions of people annually and may cause large nosocomial outbreaks with considerable morbidity among patients and healthcare workers. Immunocompromised or elderly institutionalized patients admitted with unrecognized crusted scabies are the main source of ...

Intensive Care Medicine, 2002
Nosocomial pneumonia, or terminal pneumonia as it was formerly called, results from the repetitive microaspiration of contaminated oropharyngeal secretions into the lungs in the presence of impaired host defenses. This pathophysiologic sequence was suggested by the observations of Osler but clarified by the seminal work of Rouby and colleagues.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1983
Recent developments in the understanding of nosocomial infection in general and nosocomial respiratory infections in particular are elucidated. Although the discussion focuses on aerobic bacteria, data are presented to indicate the growing realization that unusual and newly discovered microorganisms play a significant role in hospital-acquired ...

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1976
A total of 22 cases of acute suppurative parotitis are reviewed. The causative factors were severe primary disease with salivary gland hyposecretion related to age (77 years), dehydration, oral inactivity and drugs (19 patients). The oral hygiene was poor and permitted ascending canalicular invasion of resistant staphylococci.

Nosocomial tracheobronchitis is common among intubated critically ill patients. Ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT) represents an intermediate process between lower respiratory tract colonization and ventilator-associated pneumonia. The aim of this review is to discuss recent findings on VAT.VAT is defined using all the following criteria ...
