Description
Summary:[...]it should be noted that hematogenous infections and urinary tract infections do not have definitive ultrasound manifestations. [...]we should consider hematogenous infection and urinary tract infections after excluding parenchyma or cavity infection. Once bacteria invade the body through any route, blood flow may become a channel for spread of infection, causing infections in multiple parts of the body, resulting in increased infection or delayed healing. [...]prevention and control of nosocomial infections are key to the treatment of infection of critically ill patients. There are several factors to consider in distinguishing between colonization and infection: (1) qualified smears and culture results; (2) clinical signs and symptoms, such as whether the patient has fever, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing rate, low blood pressure, and high white blood cells; (3) host factors, including basic diseases, immune status, prior antibiotic treatment, and other risk factors related to morbidity, such as mechanical ventilation and time. [...]a variety of iatrogenic operations and inappropriate use of antibiotics are the other primary reasons for MRSA infection. [...]controlling nosocomial infection is the constant principle.
