Candidemia is one of the most common nosocomial infections in intensive care units. In newborns, especially premature very low birth weight (1500 g <) and extremely low birth weight (1000g <) with candidemia is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for candidemia-related mortality, set the overall mortality and mortality attributed to candidemia in neonates hospitalized in a referral hospital maternal and child health in northern Brazil during the observation period January 2008 to December 2010. In order retrospective study was conducted nested case-control study for risk factors associated with death and case-control analysis of mortality attributed to, by reviewing the microbiology and corresponding clinical records of neonates with a confirmed diagnosis of candidemia by blood culture. The Blood Stream Infection by Candida spp occurred in 34 neonates, of which about 58.8% with weight equal to or less than 1,500 g and 41.2% over 1500 g. Gestational age was equal to or below 32 weeks in 38.2% of newborns and approximately 61.8% over 32 weeks. Candida albicans was identified in 9 patients (26.5%), Candida parapsilosis in 9 patients (26.5%), Candida glabrata in one patient (2.9%) and 15 patients (44.1%) there was no identifying the species of Candida. As a risk factor associated with lethality venous dissection was present in 8 patients (23.5%) p = 0.0331. Patients with fungemia had a chance of approximately 12 times more likely to evolve to death compared to controls without fungemia. Mortality attributed to fungemia was 26.4% and overall mortality for candidemia was 52.9%. The data showed that the venous dissection was a significant risk factor for mortality in neonates with candidemia. Other risk factors were not associated with mortality. The occurrence of fungemia significantly increases the chance of a premature newborn hospitalized in the intensive care unit death evolve independent of any other clinical variable.

Pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica em pacientes internados na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva no Hospital Municipal de Imperatriz, no período de 2008 a 2010
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2012) OLIVEIRA NETTO, Raimundo Francisco de; QUARESMA, Juarez Antônio Simões; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3350166863853054
The nosocomial pneumonia, although they involve patients in various hospital areas occur more frequently in intensive care units in patients intubated and mechanically ventilated, and represent the leading cause of nosocomial infection in these centers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors associated with pneumonia caused by intubation in an adult UTI orotraquial in the municipality of Imperatriz - MA. The study, patients admitted to the intensive care unit at the Hospital Municipal Imperatriz-MA, who underwent mechanical ventilation in the period from 2008 to 2010. Among the 1618 patients assigned per year, the prevalence of UTI-acquired pneumonia was 12.9% in 2008, 18.97% in 2009 and 14.7% in 2010. Considering the gender, the prevalence was higher in males and most affected age group was 61-80 years with 54.55% of cases in 2008. Antibiotic therapy before PAVM, immunosuppression of the patient and the time of onset of PAVM were factors associated with the risk of developing pneumonia in the UTI. Nosocomial pneumonia is a serious problem in the city of Imperatriz and new studies to assess prevalence and risk factors will be useful to guide the deploytion of preventive measures aimed at reducing this prevalence.
