IGLESIAS DUQUESNE, Magaly Miriam et al. Bacteriological study of patients dead from violent events. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2006, vol.35, n.2. ISSN 0138-6557.

A bacteriological study of patients who died from violent events from February 1987 to February 1988 was performed in various departments of “Dr Luis Díaz Soto” Higher Institute of Military Medicine whose Pathological Anatomy Service was in charge of necropsy. Blood samples were collected for organ hemoculture (skin, lung and liver) before the necropsy, with the objective of specifying the causative agents of nosocomial infection. The most significant result was a higher predisposition to infection after 48 hours of hospitalization in health centers. The direct cause of infectious death was seen in burned patients. The reliability of positive results depended on the shorter period of time from death to the collection of samples. The most frequently germs were Psudomona, Kiebsella, Enterobacter, Escherichia coli, Providencia, Acinetobacter and Proteus Sp.

Palabras clave : Nosocomial infection; violent infectious death; sepsis.
