Repeat Tracheal Aspirates In Pediatric Intensive Care Patients: Frequency, Resistance And Antimicrobial Use, Edward Lyon, Jennifer Goldman, Brian Lee, Margaret Campbell, Rangaraj Selvarangan, Elizabeth Monsees

Posters

Background: Tracheal aspirates (TA) are frequently obtained in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU); however, no data exists on the frequency or clinical management of multiple TA cultures on the same PICU patient. In this study, we describe the frequency of repeat TAs in PICU patients, the emergence of multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO), frequently cultured pathogens of TAs, and associated antibiotic prescribing patterns. Methods: We identified 70 PICU patients between 2018-2019 who met our criteria for retrospective chart review with ≥2 TAs obtained during their hospitalization. The following information was collected: patient demographics, number of TAs per patient, microbiology with …

Stewardship Opportunities For Cervical Lymphadenitis And Deep Neck Space Infections, Aaron Shaw, Brian R. Lee, Lauren Kazmaier, Emily Baker, Tina Dao, Sandra Arnold, Angela Myers

Background: Cervical lymphadenitis (LAD) and deep neck space abscesses (DNSA) are common pediatric infections caused by similar bacteria. We sought to determine differences in presentation, diagnosis, and treatment between LAD and DNSA to identify antimicrobial and diagnostic stewardship opportunities. Methods: Charts were obtained using ICD9/10 codes for retropharyngeal and parapharyngeal abscessed (DNSA), and LAD between 1/1/10-12/31/20 from two pediatric centers. 1981 charts were identified. Charts were excluded if the diagnosis was not a bacterial infection (e.g. Kawasaki disease), if the LAD was not in the neck, or if caused by less common bacteria (e.g. tuberculosis). Data on presenting signs, symptoms, …

• Neonatal pyogenic liver abscesses are rare • Potential routes of hepatic infection include: portal vein, biliary ducts, hepatic artery during sepsis, or direct spread from infected contiguous structures • Risk factors may include bloodstream infection, abdominal surgery, umbilical vein catheterization, total parenteral nutrition, necrotizing enterocolitis, and/or immune deficiencies • More common in premature infants at present • Variety of etiologic agents for neonatal liver abscess: Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible and resistant), coagulase-negative staphylococci (CONS), streptococci, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Serratia, and Candida • Umbilical stump and catheter exit site hub often colonized with CONS • CONS colonize nearly all …

INTRODUCTION HPV is strongly associated with cervical cancer and cancers of vagina, vulva, penis, anus, rectum. In 2019, WHO identified vaccine hesitancy as top 10 global threats and planned to increase the HPV vaccine coverage. In June 2019 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in the US recommended shared clinical decision-making regarding HPV vaccinations in adults aged 26 through 45 years. The goal of this project is to evaluate the uptake of HPV vaccination and challenges in the HIV patients at Beaumont Hospital.

INTRODUCTION
Previous research within the Beaumont Infectious Diseases Research Program found an increase in antibiotic resistance in adult males versus females. Furthermore, there is a peak in resistance in 18-29-year-old males, not seen in females. The origin of this early peak of antibiotic resistance in adults is unclear. This study examines these trends in the pediatric patient population.

INTRODUCTION
Urine is often not a sterile body fluid. When bacteria in the urine cause symptoms it is by definition a urinary tract infection (UTI). The specific symptoms will point toward a bladder infection (cystitis) or a kidney infection (pyelonephritis). Presence of bacteria in the urine without symptoms defines asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB). Despite requiring symptoms to diagnose a UTI, often AB is misdiagnosed as a UTI and treated with antibiotics when none are needed. Escherichia coli is the most common cause of UTIs accounting for 80-90% of community-acquired UTIs and 30-50% of nosocomial UTIs. The goals of this study are …
