CLINICAL FEATURES AND MICROBIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF PATIENTS WITH SECONDARY PERITONITIS IN GENERAL SURGERY HOSPITAL RAFAEL HERNÁNDEZ. DAVID, CHIRIQUI. YEARS 2017 AND 2018.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Secondary peritonitis is a common cause of morbidity worldwide with a prevalence of up to 8.6% with a mortality of 20-60%.
Objectives: Describe clinical characteristics and microbiological profile of patients with secondary peritonitis in general surgery at Rafael Hernández hospital. David, Chiriquí. 2017 and 2018 years.
Methods: It is an observational, descriptive and retrospective study. The universe was all the patients who were hospitalized in general surgery with surgical abdominal pathology and who have developed secondary peritonitis in the course of their hospitalization at the Rafael Hernández Hospital in the years 2017 and 2018.
Results: Peritonitis had a higher prevalence in people over 60 with 36.84%. The highest proportion was in men with 62.28%. The highest diagnosis of admission was acute abdomen with 48.25%. The most frequent etiologic agent was E. coli with 64.9%. 79.82% were infections associated with a single microorganism. The most frequent antibiotic treatment was ciprofloxacin plus metronidazole with 26.32%. There was 100% correspondence of the antibiogram with the antibiotic received in cases in which there was a positive culture. And in terms of mortality it was evidenced that it had a frequency of 15.79% of which 33% was caused by bacteria producing beta lactamase.
Discussion: The most frequent etiological agent, the diagnosis most associated with secondary peritonitis and the ages where it occurs most frequently are consistent with what is reported in the literature, in terms of sex, the male predominated
