ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the characteristics of infectious diseases from neurology ward and provide reference for the treatment. Methods: The consultation record of the neurological patients who suffered infection diseases were retrospectively summarized from January 2011 to December 2013. All the consultation were performed by clinical pharmacists. SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the adoption and prognosis of the outcomes. Results: In 439 consultation cases, 256 patients (58.31%) were older than 65 years. Most of the cases were respiratory infection (294 cases, 65.33%), urinary tract infection (40 cases, 8.89%) and intracranial infection (37 cases, 8.22%). There were 510 strains of bacteria isolated by culturing, in which 362 strains were gram negative bacteria(70.98%),127 strains were gram positive bacteria(24.90%) and 21 strains were fungi(4.12%). The top five of pathogenic bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (125 stains, 24.51%), Acinetobacter baumannii(93 stains, 18.24%), Staphylococcus aureus(88 stains, 17.25%), Staphylococcus aureus (68 stains, 13.33%) and Escherichia coli. (32 stains, 6.27%). The detection rates of ESBLs of K. pneumonia and E. coli were 61.36% and 75.00%, respectively. Among 125 strains of P. aeruginosa, the sensitive rate to meropenem and inipenem was 65.8% and 70.6%, respectively. A. baumannii was highly multidrug resistant, and 21 strains (22.58%) with pan drug resistance were isolated. Gram positive bacteria were highly sensitive to vancomycin and teicoplanin. Totally 35 strains (52.24%) of MRSA were isolated. The complete adoption rate of consultation opinion was 84.74%(372 cases), the partial adoption rate was 7.28% (32 cases), and 35 cases (7.97%) were declined. In all the adopted cases (319 cases, 78.96%) showed effectiveness. In the linear correlation analysis, the consultation adoption and therapy outcomes had significant correlation(P<0.01). Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists can improve the efficiency in anti infection therapy and play important roles in the treatment of infectious diseases in neurology ward, especially in the treatment of drug resistant bacterial infections. |
