El Hospital de Dénia, Who runs the company Marina Salud, has welcomed the II Departmental Conference on Infectious Diseases in which professionals and Hospital Care Network has come together to put together the latest studies related to very common infectious diseases such as urinary tract infection, sepsis, HIV and hepatitis B and C.
The Head of the Internal Medicine Service of the Department of Health of Dénia, Dr. Patricia Martín Rico, spoke about the antibiotic Quinolone, used to fight urine infections. According to the doctor, "its indiscriminate use has caused not only resistance to it from the bacteria that originate the infection of urine, but even to other antibiotics".
Sepsis has also been the focus of study, since last February, the last international review of the definition of Sepsis was published, providing tools that facilitate early detection inside and outside the hospital setting.
Physicians of the Assistance Network and the Hospital of Dénia have reviewed the new definition that has been equipped with a number of tools, which analytics is not necessary. These tests monitor pass in the Health Center blood pressure, breathing rate and alertness of the patient. According to Dr.. Martín Rico, "These parameters already indicate the risk of sepsis that a patient has and, therefore, enables early detection, a key aspect for survival, since in the case of sepsis time plays a fundamental role".
Early detection is also important in cases of HIV and Hepatitis B and C, because it is not only essential to treat infections caused by said viruses, but to avoid extend infections, as the patient treated is much less transmission capacity, both in the case of AIDS, and hepatitis B and C.
