Healthcare-Associated Infections New The establishment of the Healthcare-Associated Infections objectives for Healthy People 2020 reflects the commitment of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to preventing HAIs. These high-priority objectives address central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. A central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a serious HAI that occurs when germs (e.g., bacteria) enter the bloodstream through the central line (a long flexible tube placed in a large vein that empties out near the heart).

Infection â General Public Cryptosporidiosis is a diarrheal disease caused by microscopic parasites, Cryptosporidium, that can live in the intestine of humans and animals and is passed in the stool of an infected person or animal.ou can become infected after accidentally swallowing the parasite. Cryptosporidium may be found in soil, food, water, or surfaces that have been contaminated with the feces from infected humans or animals.

Practice Essentials In males and females, the classic presentation of disseminated gonococcal infection (DGI) is an arthritis-dermatitis syndrome. Joint or tendon pain is the most common presenting complaint in the early stage of infection. The second stage of DGI is characterized by septic arthritis.

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) (See also Overview of Blood Clotting Disorders.) Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a condition in which small blood clots develop throughout the bloodstream, blocking small blood vessels. The increased clotting depletes the platelets and clotting factors needed to control bleeding, causing excessive bleeding.

Cryptococcus neoformans Infection with C. neoformans is termed cryptococcosis. Most infections with C. neoformans occur in the lungs. However, fungal meningitis and encephalitis, especially as a secondary infection for AIDS patients, are often caused by C. neoformans, making it a particularly dangerous fungus.

Cryptococcus neoformans Cryptococcus neoformans is a spherical, encapsulated, non-myceliated, non-fermenting fungal cell [1]. Among pathogenic fungi, C. neoformans is unique in that it possesses a mucinous capsule. Small-sized basidiospores (1.8 to 3.0 μm) can turn into yeast cells, the form preferred at 37°C, or can form dikaryotic hyphae which are favoured at 24°C [2].

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation - Epidemiology and Prognosis. 1  DIC may occur in 30-50% of patients with sepsis, 2  The prognosis of patients with DIC depends on the severity of the coagulopathy and on the underlying condition that led to DIC. Assigning numerical figures to DIC-specific morbidity and mortality is difficult.

Clostridium difficile infection Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a symptomatic infection due to the spore forming bacterium, Clostridium difficile. Symptoms include watery diarrhea, fever, nausea, and abdominal pain. It makes up about 20% of cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Complications may include pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, perforation of the colon, and sepsis. Clostridium difficile infection is spread by bacterial spores found within feces. Surfaces may become contaminated with the spores with further spread occurring via the hands of healthcare workers.

- Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci are ordinarily spread by direct person-to-person contact, most likely through droplets of saliva or nasal secretions. 3 Crowding increases transmission, and outbreaks of streptococcal pharyngitis are common in institutional settings, the military, schools and families., 10. Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci can also cause invasive infections such as necrotizing fasciitis, myositis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Although the skin is the most common portal of entry for these invasive infections, the pharynx has been documented as the point of entry in some cases.

Superficial Punctate Keratitis Superficial punctate keratitis is corneal inflammation of diverse causes characterized by scattered, fine, punctate corneal epithelial loss or damage. Symptoms are redness, lacrimation, photophobia, and slightly decreased vision. Diagnosis is by slit-lamp examination.Treatment depends on the cause.hen caused by overwearing contact lenses, keratitis is treated with discontinuation of the contact lens and an antibiotic ointment (eg, ciprofloxacin 0.3% qid), but the eye is not patched because serious infection may result. Contact lens wearers with superficial punctate keratitis should be examined the next day.

- Cryptosporidiosis, also known as crypto, is a parasitic disease caused by Cryptosporidium, a protozoan parasite in the phylum Apicomplexa. It affects the intestines and is typically an acute short-term infection.hen Cryptosporidium spreads beyond the intestine, as it can predominantly in patients with AIDS, it can reach the lungs, middle ear, pancreas, and stomach. Thus, one symptom is pain in the right upper quadrant. The parasite can infect the biliary tract, causing biliary cryptosporidiosis.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a condition in which blood clots form throughout the body blocking small blood vessels. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain, problems speaking, or problems moving parts of the body. As clotting factors and platelets are used up, bleeding may occur.

Fungal Infection (Yeast) in Cats Cryptococcosis, the diseased condition that results from internalization of this fungus, is a localized or systemic fungal infection caused by the Cryptococcus neoformans. The Cryptococcus fungus is contracted through the nasal passages, and from there passes into the brain, eyes, lungs, and other tissues.
