Rabies prophylaxis treatment regimen. Among all of them who were bitten by animals, 50 were injured through the hands and feet, 40 of them through heads and faces, and 10 of them through trunks, cervical regions and other organs of the bodies. In the persons who were bitten by animals in the head region, the mean time of the latency period for rabies was 33 days (SD = ?2.2 days), while the mean time of the latency period inConclusions We found high mortality and morbidity in Candida infections, and there was a relationship between high APACHE II scores, long ICU stay, long mechanical ventilator time, numbers of antibiotics, TPN application, and days of invasive catheter use.P142 (S)-(-)-Blebbistatin chemical information tetanus in the ICU: increasing incidence in the past 5 yearsR Casado, J Chico, S de Lange, E Sanmart , L Moreiras, E Ferrer ICU, Clinic Universitary Hospital, Santiago de Compostela, Spain Critical Care 2006, 10(Suppl 1):P142 (doi:10.1186/cc4489) Background Since 1973 the total number of cases of tetanus in our ICU is 30, almost all before 1990 (22 cases). Since 2000, six cases have taken place. The aim of the PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25112874 present study was to describe the characteristics of infection by Clostridium PubMed ID:http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27797473 tetani in this period. Methods We retrospectively analysed the data of tetanus from 2000 to 2005. Clinical features, treatment and comorbidities were recorded. Results Six cases of tetanus were described in this period: two cases of cephalic tetanus and four of generalized tetanus. Study patients had a mean age of 64 years (three were male), and period of the year was one case in spring, three in summer, two in autumn. The mean incubation period (from inoculation to first symptom) was 7 days in cephalic tetanus and 15 days in generalized tetanus, and the mean period of onset (from first symptom to first spasm) 10.5 days in cephalic tetanus and 14.5 days in generalized tetanus. The mean ICU length of stay was 28.2 ?13 days, and theSAvailable online http://ccforum.com/supplements/10/Sthe persons who were bitten through the hands and feet was 77 days (SD = ?5.8 days). P < 0.1. The results of this study showed that there is a significant reciprocal correlation between the annual raining level and the frequency rate of animal bites in the province of Kerman (r = 0.5, P < 0.01). According to this study, the role of foxes in the epidemiological cycle of human rabies in the province of Kerman, located in the south-east of Iran, seems very important.P144 Effects of antibiotics on intestinal microcirculation, cytokine release and in-vitro vascular reactivity in septic ratsC Lehmann, VH Bac, J Hellmuth, M Lustig, M Gr dling, D Pavlovic Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-University, Greifswald, Germany Critical Care 2006, 10(Suppl 1):P144 (doi:10.1186/cc4491) Background Antibiotic treatment represents a key component of therapy for severe sepsis. Apart from the sensibility of the causing microorganisms, when choosing antimicrobial agents in septic conditions possible effects of antibiotics on the microcirculation, inflammatory mediators and vascular (hypo)reactivity should be taken into account. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of metronidazole (MET), imipenem (IMI), tobramycin (TOB) and vancomycin (VAN) on the intestinal microcirculation in septic rats using intravital microscopy (IVM), on the release of the cytokines TNF-, IL-1, IL-6 and IL-10, and on the in-vitro reactivity of the rat aorta. Methods We induced sepsis in the animals (Lewis rats) using the Colon Ascendens St.
