Abstract

To investigate the clinical characteristics and risk factors of nosocomial infection in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), in order to guide better clinical prevention and treatment of nosocomial infection. The incidence of nosocomial infection, infection site, characteristics of pathogenic bacteria, drug sensitivity test results and infection risk factors of 472 non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from January 2015 to September 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 472 patients, 97 (20.6%) had nosocomial infection, mainly in the lower respiratory tract (41.2%), followed by oral cavity, upper respiratory tract, urogenital tract, and blood. A total of 71 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, including Gram-negative (G-) bacteria (52.1%), Gram-positive (G+) bacteria (28.2%), and fungi (19.7%). The detection rate of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBLs) in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli was 36.4% and 22.2%, respectively. The resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to carbapenems (imipenem) in G- bacteria was 33.3%, while the sensitivity rate of other G- bacteria was 100%. Among the 7 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, 1 strain was...Continue Reading
