antibiotic/hemorrhage

BACKGROUND Antibiotic medications are associated with an increased risk of bleeding among patients receiving warfarin. The recent availability of data from the Medicare Part D prescription drug program provides an opportunity to assess the association of antibiotic medications and the risk of

We describe the case of a 22 yr old male patient with cystic fibrosis, who, after long-term antibiotic treatment of pulmonary infection, developed a haemorrhagic diathesis with severe bleeding from the mucus membrane of the mouth, and haematuria. Rapid recovery was observed after infusion of vitamin

OBJECTIVE To review relevant studies for both primary and secondary antibiotic prophylaxis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with cirrhosis without gastrointestinal bleeding. METHODS A search of PubMed (1980-July 2010) was conducted using the terms prophylaxis, SBP, and

OBJECTIVE All previous studies reported the benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis in cirrhotic patients with either a mixture of nonvariceal and variceal bleeding or variceal bleeding alone. Reports on sole peptic ulcers bleeding are lacking. We aimed to assess the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis in

OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the role of new onset infection in the initiation of early rebleeding after variceal hemorrhage in patients with liver cirrhosis and the effect of prophylactic antibiotic treatment. METHODS Two hundred and twenty-one consecutive admissions for variceal bleeding

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of bacterial infection in patients admitted to hospital with variceal bleeding in comparison with patients with liver cirrhosis admitted because of another reason. To compare the effect of orally administered antibiotics vs. intravenous

Acute bleeding from upper part of gastrointestinal tract is a frequent and serious complication affecting 20 to 60% of patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. It is associated with a high death rate of 30 to 50% and a frequent relapse of bleeding occurs in up to 40% of these patients.

Biofilm formation and resistance to last-line antibiotics have restricted chemotherapy options toward infection eradication.

Fifty K. oxytoca isolates were collected from patients with antibiotic-associated haemorrhagic colitis (AAHC).

BACKGROUND Coumarin anticoagulants are prone to drug-drug interactions. For example, antibiotic drugs may enhance the anticoagulant effect of coumarins. However, whether such interactions are associated with an increased risk of bleeding, and if so, how frequently this occurs remains

Klebsiella oxytoca hemorrhagic colitis is a rare form of antibiotic associated hemorrhagic colitis that is Clostridium difficile negative. Klebsiella oxytoca colitis has been shown to be triggered by penicillin administration, yet other antibiotics have been implicated as well. It can mimic the

Prior studies have demonstrated positive impacts of antibiotic use on reducing mortality, rebleeding events, and length of hospitalization in adult cirrhotic patients with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). We aimed to investigate the use of antibiotics in cirrhotic children with acute

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of berberine, a plant alkaloid. METHODS Five multi-drug resistant (MDR) STEC/EPEC and five MDR ETEC isolates from yaks with haemorrhagic diarrhoea were selected for the study. Antibacterial activity of berberine was evaluated by broth dilution and

An ultrastructural study of the colonic mucosa was performed in four patients with antibiotic-associated haemorrhagic colitis and new findings are reported. Colonoscopy was performed and biopsy specimens were obtained within 24 h of the onset of bloody diarrhoea. Colonoscopy demonstrated diffuse
