Bacteremia por Staphylococcus epidermidis y abceso de partes blandas en un paciente postoperado: Reporte de un caso.

Abstract: We report a case of an 11 year old male who presented with bacteremia by S. epidermidis and soft tissue abscesses after a bone autograft procedure. The patient received only medical treatment, resolving the abscesses successfully. We also did a review of the literature on S. epidermidis bacteremia, an entity which has acquired increasing importance in the etiology of hospital infections. (Rev Med Hered 2003; 14:221-223)

“…Existen estudios de alimentos crudos y lo que puede provocar el consumirlos, como lo manifiesta García et al, que el consumo de carnes infectadas puede derivar a la bacteriemia por S. epidermidis que es una condición que no suele poner en riesgo la vida, pero se desarrolla como una enfermedad silenciosa por el consumo de alimentos con Staphylococcus aureus (17). El consumir comida saludable con garantías de calidad e higiene evita el desarrollo de enfermedades derivadas.…”

“…The most identified genus was Staphylococcus, with five different species, namely S. epidermidis, S. haemolyticus, S. saprophyticus, S. cohnii cohnii, and S. aureus; this is due to the ubiquitous capacity of these microorganisms and their ability to generate exotoxins or enzymes, which is directly related to their presence in the skin and mucosa of healthy people (16). Hall (1,2) Hall ( This study showed that emphasis should be made on some highlighted areas in the bacterial load map done by researches with the information provided with the CFU, which made it possible to identify that 64% of the sampling sections are above the limit established by the CFU's ISO 14644 for clean areas.…”

“…Staphylococcus aureus is the bacteria with the highest pathogenicity in the Staphylococcus genus. In fact, twenty to forty percent (20-40%) of people who have their nostrils colonized by this microorganism(16) were isolated from the ophthalmology clinic where infectious pathologies are treated, knowing already that the Staphylococcus genus is directly related to conjunctivitis, as demonstrated by the study conducted by Hernández(17)in 2005.…”
