Nosocomial sinusitis with isolation of anaerobic bacteria in ICU patients

Abstract: Using appropriate microbiological techniques, anaerobic bacteria were frequently isolated in nosocomial sinusitis. If necessary, the empirical choice of antimicrobial therapy in patients with nosocomial sinusitis should take into account these results.

“…Most studies have shown that Gram positive organisms are prevalent (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis); Gram negative bacteria may also be found (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumanni, Proteus mirabilis and others). [13][14][15][16][17][18] Le Moal showed a high incidence of anaerobic organisms, which may be found in up to 60% of cases (Prevotella sp, Fusobacterium nucleatum and Peptostreptococcus anaerobius). 19 The treatment of rhinosinusitis in ICUs should be started promptly because it is often associated with mechanical ventilation-associated pneumonia; this condition may lead to sepsis and death.…”

“…A flora bacteriana, normalmente presente, torna-se patogênica quando retida dentro dos seios paranasais, levando à infecção. Em pacientes acamados e que recebem antibióticos de amplo espectro, a colonização por flora hospitalar é comum, o que explica a ocorrência de rinossinusite nosocomial (O'Reilly et al, 1984;Grindlinger et al, 1987;Humphrey et al, 1987;Hansen et al, 1988;Linden et al, 1988;Meyer et al, 1988;Salord et al, 1990;Kulber et al, 1991;Pedersen et al, 1991;Bach et al, 1992;Borman et al, 1992;Rouby et al, 1994;Talmor et al, 1997;George et al, 1998;Le Moal et al, 1999;Torres et al, 1999;Cassiano et al, 2001;Eggimann, Pittet, 2001;Roth et al, 2003;Van Zanten et al, 2005;Pneumatikos et al, 2006 Em pacientes com trauma facial, a lesão da mucosa nasal e do arcabouço ósseo, contaminação durante intubação de emergência e presença de sangramento dentro dos seios, agravam este processo por causarem descontinuidade na cobertura mucosa além de promoverem um meio para crescimento bacteriano Humphrey et al, 1987;Kulber et al, 1991;Mevio et al, 1996;Le Moal et al, 1999).…”
