Zusammenfassung

Immunkompromittierung birgt immer ein erhöhtes Risiko für die Entwicklung infektiöser Komplikationen. Patienten nach solider Organtransplantation sind besonders gefährdet – in dieser Patientengruppe bilden Infektionen die zweithäufigste Todesursache. Prophylaxe und Impfungen sollten daher konsequent eingesetzt werden. Infektionen bei Immunsupprimierten können mit atypischen klinischen Symptomen einhergehen, was die Diagnose und Therapie für den behandelnden Arzt erschwert. Vor allem virale und opportunistische Infektionen stellen dabei eine Herausforderung dar. Umso mehr ist eine Überwachung der Patienten hinsichtlich Infektionserkrankungen notwendig, um frühzeitig die erforderlichen Maßnahmen einleiten zu können.

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
