Bloodstream infection in patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in of General University Hospital in Prague
BAUER, Kristýna
Blood stream infection is one of the serious life-threatening conditions of hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. This is the penetration of microorganisms into the bloodstream, which is accompanied by symptoms of a general infection. The most common consequence is the development of sepsis. The aim of the laboratory examination is to obtain a reliable blood culture result. Such a result can only be achieved if all procedures are followed, from the indication by the doctor to the process of sampling by the medical staff into the bottles directly intended for this purpose. Taking blood cultures confirms or excludes the presence of bacteria in the bloodstream. Blood cultures are the gold standard for diagnosing bloodstream infections. A detection culture is used for hemocultivation of the BacT/Alert 3D system, which is based on the colorimetric detection of CO2 produced by growing microorganisms in blood cultures.

Background: Septic states are serious conditions that endanger the patient's life. To prevent the patient's death, this condition must be diagnosed in time and appropriate treatment initiated. The aim of this work is to gather findings related to clinical and laboratory signs and diagnosis of sepsis, including recommended procedures, therapy and prevention of sepsis. Main findings: Septic states may have very different laboratory and clinical signs and criteria for the diagnosis are not yet clearly defined. Bacteria are one of the most common causes of septic states; sepsis requires immediate treatment. Bloodstream infections can be diagnosed in many ways, the basis is blood cultivation, but molecular methods have also been developed recently. Conclusions: Informations were found on the issue of septic states and their clinical and laboratory signs, diagnosis and the most common causes, diagnosis of bloodstream infections and recommended procedures in therapy and prevention. The research was mainly focused on laboratory signs of septic states and microbiological diagnosis of bloodstream infections. Keywords: sepsis, bloodstream infections, hemoculture
