As somebody training in both critical care and infectious diseases, I'm often left trying to explain what I hope to do with my career, struggling with coherent answers to both laypeople and other doctors. People get sick because of infections. Also, sick people end up getting infections. That's how I look at it, and hence my training.
This study, published by some of my bosses, helps validate all of this. Looking at one day in ICUs across the planet, they captured a point-in-time, just to see what the burden of 'infection' is in our planet's ICUs. Obviously, there are huge problems with potential reporting bias and the like, but it's as good a global survey as you can justifiably get. And the results are interesting, showing that half of all patients in ICUs were considered infected, with these patients doing significantly worse overall. Nearly three quarters of the patients were receiving antibiotics, some just for propylaxis. Also, the longer that you were sick, the more likely you were to have an infection. There was also a correlation between national GDP and rates of ICU infection, which, once again, isn't surprising, since we know that infection control procedures aren't always cheap
The types of bacteria and infections reported were interesting, with pneumonias as the most common infection, and a reasonable distribution of types of bacteria. There is an increasing prevalence of dangerous gram-negative bacteria, and a persistently worrisome rate of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. I've talked about this quandary before, since as we're able to care for sicker and sicker patients, we're also using more and more antibiotics, leading to all sorts of resistance problems for future generations. Also, what constitutes an 'infection' is a difficult distinction, one that we typically err on the side of caution by treating. In the end, with very few new antibiotics coming down the research pipeline, we will face a tremendous challenge outwitting these ever-shifting, diverse group of organisms.

Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.

ReplyDeleteIt took almost one year for my first real outbreak but it was the hardest thing in the world to get along with. I felt so unwanted and dirty. I tried many formulas, suggestions, methods to get rid of it permanently. Booked appointment with many doctors, professionals, even religiously until I started getting away spiritually and still it won't go. The worst is my outbreaks occurs within short period and take as long as even weeks to go away. I was at last placed on antiviral treatment which is a good treatment but for how long? I prayed every four times a day for God to cure me miraculously or direct me to cure because I know there is. During outbreaks I thought it's the end of the world but it's not, with time I will become normal again. I started trying fruits and herbs, take herbal produced, and with time became very interested in herbs. I read blogs, websites, and comments on herbs and built a stronger hope. I saw comments and decided to try Dr Utu African Traditional Herbal meds. I know of one mr Brown who was HIV and now brags he was cured of HIV with Dr Utu traditional meds but never give it a thought because I believed HIV already has a cure and never think it through or make a research. And for herpes my doctor told me that there is no known cure. When I saw testimonies of his Herpes cure on sites. I copied his contact drutuherbalcure@gmail.com. I showed it to brown who confirmed it was Dr Utu contact. I contacted him immediately and he also prepared and sent me herbal herpes meds through DHL. Right after getting this traditional meds I followed the prescription cautiously and withing days I started noticing rapid change and I know within me it's the cure. I used it for up to two weeks and when my test result was out not only did this herbal meds cure me but boost my immune and I feel real and free. Dr Utu African Traditional meds have successfully cured Herpes, Warts, HIV, Cancers, Kidney Stone, Asthma, most importantly this traditional meds boost immune and have no after effect.
The herpes simplex virus is a contagious virus
ReplyDeletethat can be
passed from person to person through direct
contact.
Children will often contract HSV-1 from early
contact with
an infected adult. They then carry the virus with
them for
the rest of their life.
Infection with HSV-1 can happen from general
interactions
such as eating from the same utensils, sharing
lip balm, or
kissing. The virus spreads more quickly when an
infected
person is experiencing an outbreak. Additionally,
it is
possible to get genital herpes from HSV-1 if the
individual
has had cold sores and performed sexual
activities during
that time.
HSV-2 is contracted through forms of sexual
contact with a
person who has HSV-2. It is estimated that around 20
percent of sexually active adults within the
United States
have been infected with HSV-2, according to the
American
Academy of Dermatology (AAD). ( AAD ) While
HSV-2
infections are spread by coming into contact
with a herpes
sore, the AAD reports that most people get
HSV-1 from an
infected person who is asymptomatic, or does
not have
sores.
having multiple sex partners
being female
having another sexually transmitted infection
(STI)
having a weakened immune system
