Abstract

Background and Objectives: Bloodstream infections (septicemia and fungemia) represent a significant medical problem of considerable magnitude. It has been estimated that the mortality of these infections exceeds 100,000 cases annually in the world. This study was conducted to analyze laboratory findings in septicemic patients admitted to Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tabriz. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out to analyze positive BLOOD CULTUREs received in the laboratory of Microbiology, Imam Khomeini Medical Centre, Tabriz in years 1995-1997 in order to determine microorganisms associated with sepsis and their antibiotic sensitivities. Our study was extended to year 1998 with the above mentioned aims as well as to evaluate other factors such as age group, body temperature, number of WBC in peripheral blood and risk factors associated with septicemic patients. Thus, in our retrospective part of the study 6,889 BLOOD CULTUREs taken from 3,045 patients were analyzed, while in the other part of the study 1886 BLOOD CULTURE bottles taken from 900 patients were evaluated. Results: Prevalence of blood infection was found as 10.4%, 11.5%, 11.4% and 11.3% for year 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 respectively. Polymicrobic sepsis cases approached to 1.4%, 3%, 4.5% and 6.9% respectively in the above mentioned years. In the first part of study (1995-97), Gram- positive bacteria were isolated from 36.1%, while Gram-negative bacteria were recovered from 63.1% of BLOOD CULTUREs. Results of our prospective study in 1998 showed 56.4% and 43.6% of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria respectively were responsible for SEPTICEMIA. Highest percentage of positive BLOOD CULTUREs were obtained from the patients in 50 - 59 years Of age of these positive BLOOD CULTURE patients 11.5% were males and 11.1% females. Our results indicated that when three bottles of BLOOD CULTURE were taken from the same patient it resulted in the highest recovery of microorganisms (p<0.05). Conclusion: Results of this study showed the various types of bacteria involved in septicemic patients. SEPTICEMIA continues to be a severe and life-threatening disease, its mortality rate being very high (45.1%). Thus, extensive care is needed to control and treat septicemic patients.
