A group of Spanish researchers attached to the Feligej Biometric Research Institute (Idifel) has been identified Increase in Spain Severe infections Source Streptococcus discourse. Eqvycimalis (STSE) Between 2012 and 2022.
It should be noted that this is not a new microorganism or whose existence is not known in our country; In fact, this strain lives with us as part of the bacteria plants of our body. However, sometimes It acts as an opportunistic pathogen: That is, it causes infectious paintings in people with weak immune system.
What is SDSE
In this regard, these experts are published in the scientific environment details International magazine of infectious diseasesSdse A common restaurant microbiota In addition to the skin, the respiratory, gastrointestinal tract and genital tract can be colonized.
In the population They have already had the immune system before . However, this phenomenon is very rare in healthy people.
In fact, he is associated with pyelogenic with the most famous Streptococcus piogenIs known for reason Infections such as bacterial furingitis, otitis, mastitis and Imbedico. However, the latter is the most common cause of the disease in non -syndrome.
Mainly attacking people’s immune system
Inspection analysis All events of aggressive disease The SDSE (ISDSE) was diagnosed between January 2012 and December 2022 at the University of Feligge. To document various generations in the country, the models obtained in other centers were taken into consideration (including the Consortey Sanidari Park The UL Lee, Gregorio Maran University General Hospital and the University of Tonostea University.
Total, 89 chapters added in 86 patients. 59.5% of them occurred in men; The average age of the victims is 72 years, and a higher percentage of people over 80 years is produced. 79.8% of patients had one or more comorpiditts.
Most of the time (51.7%), Focus of the infection skin and soft tissuesAnd in the social environment (outside the health centers) 62.9% of cases were purchased. Endocarditis (heart infection) caused by bacteria in six patients. 92.1% of chapters were bacteria, and 24.7% of patients suffered shock. Death rates at the age of 7 are 13.5% and 18% respectively.
An increase in cases because of population aging
The authors warn that their results are reflected An increase in casesEspecially since 2016, subsequent confirmation. Incidentally, they say that there is a similar trend in Canada and other European countries in Canada and Japan.
As they argue, this growth The population seems to be responding to the elderly In these places, it is expected to continue in the coming years than other factors. On the basis of this, they support the severity of surveillance, taking into account how serious the STS may be.
The patient’s profile confirms that it is An opportunistic pathogenThis is mainly a risk with the most advanced age and the most weak immune system. Of course, researchers have found high resistance to many antibiotics, which are usually used as an alternative to penicillin in allergic persons, so they point to the need to think about the use of other possible options in this population.
