We have reported a gonococcal infection in a surgical incision made ten months before the onset of urethral discharge. Gonococcal wound infections may arise from direct contamination or possibly by blood-borne dissemination. Principles guiding therapy are similar to those for wound infections from other organisms, with attention to adequate drainage ...

Wound infections remain a major source of postoperative morbidity, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of nosocomial infections. Today, many of these infections are first recognized in the outpatient clinic or in the patient's home due to the large number of operations done in the outpatient setting.

This paper describes a prospective study of all surgical wounds of patients at the Foothills Hospital (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) during a period of 10 years to determine the rate of infection of surgical wounds and to assess the factors that influenced this rate.

Surveillance of wound infections
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1995Demands are increasing for accurate rates of wound infection in surgical units. However, definitions vary widely and resources are limited. Wound scoring methods improve objectivity and have the power to show changes with time, but they can be laborious. Without community surveillance, inpatient rates can also be misleading.

Wounds will readily acquire bacteria, unless protective measures are taken. The bacterial protection afforded by conventional absorbent cellulose dressings has been shown to be limited, particularly in the presence of serous exudate that may compromise dressing integrity. In addition, dressings may shed particles that remain in the wound.

One of every two Americans will be bitten by an animal or by another person at some point. Bites account for approximately 1% of all visits to emergency rooms; injuries inflicted by dogs are most common. The bacteria involved in infection of bite wounds include Pasteurella multocida, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus intermedius, alpha-hemolytic ...

Sternal wound infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. They occur in 1% to 3% of patients who undergo open-heart surgery and carry a 20% to 40% mortality rate. Sternal infections can range from minor, superficial infections to open mediastinitis with invasion of the sternum, heart, and great ...

The proportion of Staphylococcus aureus that is methicillin resistant (MRSA) has been rising in UK hospitals over the past 10 years. In some individual hospitals this increase has been explosive. The propensity for MRSA to spread arises mainly from the following reasons: Antimicrobial selection increases the biomass of MRSA in a particular patient or ...
