Abstract

Background and Objectives: SEPSIS is a major cause of morbidity and MORTALITY among patients admitted to hospitals. Inspite of proper hospital care and management, an increasing trend in the number of such cases has been observed because of increased hospitalization, expanded use of invasive catheters, more intensive management of medical problems, along with factor of aging. The study was aimed at epidemiologic and etiologic survey of this disease along with study of clinical findings, MORTALITY and the source of SEPSIS.Materials and Methods: In this descriptive retrospective study medical records of patients admitted to the division of infectious diseases, centre of education and treatment of 7th Tir Hospital of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, were studied from clinical, paraclinical, epidemiological and etiological point of view, from 1987 to 1996.Results: In the course of l0 years, 92 patients with clinical SEPTICEMIA were admitted to the hospital. Of these cases, 43 were men and 49 were women. More than 70 years age (20%) was the prevalent age group among these patients. Fever, tachypnea and tachycardia were the most prevalent findings. Sixty percent of patients had leucocytosis and 5.6% had leucopenia. In 33.7% cases urinary tract while, in rest of them skin was the source of SEPSIS. In 23.9% of patients, source of infection was not determined. E.coli was the leading microorganism responsible for infection followed by Staphylococcus aureus. MORTALITY among these patients amounted to 41.3%.Conclusion: Keeping in view that almost 9 of 1000 in-patients admitted to division of infectious diseases develop SEPTICEMIA or SEPSIS and before being admitted to the hospital these patients consume a course of antibiotic therapy which makes microorganism to become resistant or to persist at the site of infection, it is necessary that as soon as the patients are admitted with clinical signs of SEPSIS or SEPTICEMIA, samples from blood and if possible, from site of infection should be collected and send for culture to obtain the causative microorganism and antibiogram should be done so that proper antibiotic therapy could be started immediately.
