Antibiotics for Tropical infections in ICUMohd Saif Khan
We often come across tropical infections admitted to ICU in about 20-30% cases coming with critical multi organ dysfunctions and features of sepsis. Detection is often clinical and based on temporal association with certain exposure to bite or seasons, or specific signs and some times non specific and in such situations leading to use of empirical antibiotic coverage for tropical fever, where also great variability exists even after confirmation of diagnosis. And lastly owing to inappropriate and overuse of antibiotics, we have observed growing concern of antibiotic resistance in tropical infections as well.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Subcutaneous specific immunotherapy - local and systemic reactions
1. Santos, Natacha; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Plácido, José Luís; Castel-Branco, Maria da Graça. Hospital de São João, EPE, Porto, Portugal
Local and systemic reactions are a known complication of subcutaneous
specific immunotherapy (SCIT).
Our aim was to evaluate the frequency and severity of these reactions to
SCIT administration in our hospital.
Local reactions were classified as immediate (occurring within 30 minutes) or
late (debut >30 minutes after injection) and according to swelling size (<5
cm, 5-8 cm or > 8 cm).
Systemic reactions were classified according to EAACI, Immunotherapy Task
Force (JACI 2006:61:S82).
A total of 517 patients were treated with SCIT in our clinic during this 2 year
period: 59,6% female, with a median age of 21, ranging from 4 to 68 years
old. Most of our patients had allergic rhinitis (Graphic 1) and underwent
polymerized SCIT (96,3%) to mites (47,1%) or pollen (43.9%).
Local reactions occurred in a total of 205 (39,7%) patients :
8 patients presented systemic reactions:
Local swellings with <5 cm were common and are to be expected; they were well tolerated and do not require any specific therapy.
Larger local reactions were rare.
Despite their rarity, severe systemic reactions can occur. Our division is equipped and prepared to deal with cases such as
anaphylactic shock.
The Patient Immunotherapy Record Form is a useful tool for immunotherapy administration and adverse reactions surveillance.
Table 1. EAACI Grading of Severity for Systemic Reactions
I
Mild - localized urticaria, rhinitis or mild asthma (PF* < 20%
decrease)
II
Moderate - slow onset (>15 min) of generalized urticaria and/or
moderate asthma (PF < 40% decrease)
III
Severe - rapid onset (<15 min) of generalized urticaria,
angioedema or severe asthma (PF > 40% decrease)
IV
Anaphylactic shock – immediate generalized urticaria, stridor
(angioedema), asthma, hypotension

These reactions were more frequent in women (70,2%, p<0,001) and in
patients under depot immunotherapy (Graphic 4). There was no association of
local reactions with age, type of allergic disease or vaccine composition.
