This summer it has been found that in the Center for Burns of the Emergency Clinical Hospital (Floreasca) in Bucharest, the only one in which the great burns can be treated, a outbreak with such an infection was detected in three of the six patients. Lavinia Vlad is one of them, but neither she nor the other two seem to be the patient from whom the disagreement of the dangerous mushroom would have started, writes the quoted source.
More than half a year ago, Marin Vlase, a patient from the Clinical Cardiovascular Surgery section of Floreasca was detected with Candida Auris, according to documents consulted by Free Europe.
And in this case. And regarding the three of this summer, detected seven months away, in different sections, there are doubts that they would have been reported to the Directorate of Public Health and further, hierarchically.
How Marin Vlase died
Marin Vlase, the patient who died in the autumn of last year, arrived at Floreasca Hospital on September 4, after being admitted to a private hospital, where three bypasss were put to his heart.
In Floresca, he was admitted to the 6th floor of the same building, cardiovascular surgery.
The 72 -year -old man had other nosocomial infections (contacted in the hospital). He and two other patients (Gabriela Popescu and Geta Ciupitu) would have infected each other, according to their relatives.
The three were detected with two of the most dangerous intra -hospital bacteria – Acinetobacter Baumannii and Klebsiella Pneumonia – and died within three weeks.
The two patients died before the man
First, the two patients (in November 2024) were extinguished and then the man, who died on December 1, 2024.
The families of the three people who died last year accuse that patients would not have been isolated to prevent the transmission of nosocomial infections and that they would not have received antibiotic treatment (Gabriele Popescu), and the antifungal one would have been interrupted (in case of Marin Vlase)
The relatives also accuse that patients were not isolated to prevent the transmission of nosocomial infections and that all infections would not have been reported to the specific unit control unit (Spliaam) nor to the authorities with attributions in the matter – ANMCS, Insp and DSP
The belongings also demand the lack of an epidemiological investigation, but also that the real cause of at least one death would have been hidden: the septic shock (the case of Geta Ciupitu).
