Abstract(s)
A caminho de se tornar a 3ª principal causa de morte em todo o Mundo, a Doença
Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crónica (DPOC) assume cada vez maior relevância, até pelos
custos a ela associados. Para esses custos, contribuem em grande parte as exacerbações
características do curso da doença e cuja principal etiologia é a infecção bacteriana. A
fim de comparar os dados da literatura científica mais actualizada com a realidade do
Centro Hospitalar da Cova da Beira, foram analisados os processos relativos aos
internamentos de 2007, nos serviços de Medicina Interna e Pneumologia, de doentes
com DPOC agudizada, procurando saber a espécie bacteriana causadora dessa
exacerbação. Os resultados obtidos permitiram concluir que os microrganismos mais
comummente implicados são o Streptococcus pneumoniae, o Staphyloccus aureus, o
Staphylococcus coagulase negativo e o Haemophilus influenzae, o que está em
consonância com as mais recentes investigações.
On its way to become the third leading cause of death in the entire World, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) assumes a greater relevance by the day, also due to the costs associated. Contributing greatly to those costs are the exacerbations, characteristic of the disease progression, being bacterial infections their main cause. Seeking to compare data from the most up-to-date scientific literature with the reality of Centro Hospitalar da Cova da Beira, processes regarding the hospital admission, in 2007, to the Internal Medicine and Pulmonary infirmaries, of patients with exacerbated COPD, were analysed in search of the bacteria responsible for that event. The results obtained lead to the conclusion that those more commonly implicated are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphyloccus aureus, Staphylococcus coagulasis negative and Haemophilus influenzae, which is in line with the most recent investigations.
