Abstract:

Purpose: It is intended to evaluate the acinetobacter infections, risk factors, mortality that occur in different cultures in patients in the child’s intensive care unit. Tools and methods: In this study, the clinical-microbiological data of patients with acinetobacter reproduction in their cultures, based between 1.1.2016 and 31.12.2017 in our hospital’s child-intense care unit, were scaned retrospectively from the files. The demographic characteristics of the patients isolated by Acinetobacter, the underlying diseases, the duration of stay in the hospital, the presence of neutropen, the presence of immunosuppressive treatment, the presence of surgery, invasive initiative, the use of broad spectrum of antibiotics, the residence history in other hospitals, the total parenteral nutritional treatment, the mortality rates, were recorded. Results: 15 of 509 patients infected in our hospital’s child intensive care unit found acinetobacter reproduction. All of them had chronic illness. In 11 patients, pneumonia associated with ventilation, bacteria in five, menenjitis in two, and urosepsy in three were detected. All patients were treated with colitis. All patients were applied mechanical ventilator, total parenteral nutrition, wide-spectrum antibiotic use, central venous catheter and urine catheter, external ventricleoperitoneal chant drenage catheter. Nine of the patients were lost despite treatment. Result: Patients with severe chronic disease, who have undergone surgery should be cautious in terms of the development of Acinetobacter infection, it should not be forgotten that the infection may be fatal.
