83 children have died from bacterial infection in San Cristobal, Venezuela
The cases have occurred in peditr?a and neonatal hospital in the city. The head of the UCI, Pedro Lobo, explained that get sick from bacteria and antibiotics have none.
Again, physicians from the University Central Hospital Jos? Mar?a Vargas of San Cristobal warned about hygienic conditions that are handled in the main medical center in the southwest of the country, because since the beginning of the year have killed 85 infants and children in the units of care intensive neonatal and pediatric .
Peter Lobo , chief of pediatric intensive care unit, explained that the main cause of death is a severe infection caused by bacteria related health measures in these areas.
"On August 19 the complaint was that there was no material for the proper cleaning of these units, leading to the proliferation of bacteria in these sites. Until yesterday there were only one mop to clean all both critical areas as non-critical, which has been an exchange of bacteria from one area to another aggravating the situation we already have, "said Lobo. He added that the crops grown in the patients were able to observe large numbers of bacteria.
Added to this is the quality of the antibiotics available in the medical center, which serves patients from the states of Tachira, Barinas, M?rida, and Apure, and South Lake and up the Colombian department of Norte de Santander.
"There are antibiotics for registration and backed by reliable studies. We believe that quality is not desired because the patient's evolution is clumsy. Some of these antibiotics come from India, Argentina and elsewhere, and we have no studies to support the use of these antibiotics here, "he said.
Without resources. Wolf reported that many infants become infected, a condition that is aggravated because the antibodies used are not as effective as desired. He acknowledged that many mothers do not have antenatal care condition that could influence.

Jos? Vicente Franco , a pediatrician of this medical center, said that if there were adequate resources and allocations for these areas is likely these patients would have survived.
"Unfortunately, despite efforts, we could lower the infant mortality rate of between 40% and 60% in these neonatal intensive care units and pediatric. Probably 83 deaths in the overall statistics are few when compared with the year past when there were 265 deaths, but for a dad or a mom that represents 100%, "he said.
