INTRODUCCIÓN: La bacteriemia es una entidad clínica con una elevada incidencia e importante morbimortalidad. En este contexto, está descrito que los pacientes que desarrollan un episodio de bacteriemia que requiere ingreso en una unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI), o bien adquiridas durante su estancia, presentan una estancia hospitalaria y...

Background Mortality due to COVID-19 is high, especially in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. The purpose of the study is to investigate associations between mortality and variables measured during the first three days of mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 intubated at ICU admission. Methods Multicenter, observational,...

We describe a case of one patient with cystic fibrosis who developed a pan-resistant Burkholderia cepacia complex rapidly progressive bacteraemic pneunonia, following bilateral lung transplantation. The patient was treated with a targeted combination antibiotic therapy (meropenem plus ceftazidime/avibactam plus high doses of nebulized...

Severe COVID-19 disease requiring ICU admission is possible in the fully vaccinated population, especially in those with immunocompromised status and other comorbidities. Interventions to improve vaccine response might be necessary in this population.

Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes a disease (coronavirus disease 2019, COVID-19) that may develop into a systemic disease with immunosuppression and death in its severe form. Myeloid-derived suppressive cells (MDSCs) are inhibitory cells that contribute to immunosuppression in patients with...

Community-onset bloodstream infections (CO-BSI) caused by gram-negative bacilli are common and associated with significant mortality; those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa are associ- ated with worse prognosis and higher rates of inadequateempirical antibiotic treatment. The aims of this study were to describe the characteristics of patients...
