CDC Video: CDC Signos Vitales: Cómo prevenir las infecciones del torrente sanguíneo en las personas en diálisis
Más de 800 000 personas en los EE. UU. tienen enfermedad de los riñones en etapa terminal. Algunas personas con esta enfermedad reciben un trasplante de riñón. La mayoría reciben tratamiento de diálisis para filtrar la sangre y eliminar el exceso de líquido del cuerpo. El tratamiento de diálisis pone a los pacientes en mayor riesgo de infecciones graves debido a que requiere acceso frecuente al torrente sanguíneo utilizando agujas o catéteres, los cuales son tubos de plástico blando que se insertan en las venas grandes. Si ingresan microbios a la sangre del paciente, pueden causar infecciones graves que podrían generar complicaciones y hasta la muerte. Para prevenir las infecciones del torrente sanguíneo en las personas en diálisis, los proveedores de atención médica pueden usar prácticas de comprobada eficacia que ayudan a reducir las infecciones. Para obtener más información visite Los pacientes de raza negra e hispanos en diálisis tienen tasas más altas de infecciones del torrente sanguíneo por estafilococos (cdc.gov) ( https://www.cdc.gov/spanish/mediosdecomunicacion/comunicados/d_vs_infecciones-estafilococos_020623.html ).

Health Video: Tick that causes Lyme disease now spreading more of another illness
A recent study revealed elevated levels of potentially toxic chemicals in some species of fish in two Northern California rivers. The study specifically identified the Feather River and San Joaquin River, along with hundreds of other waterways in the United States. The chemicals are scientifically known as PFAS - poly and perfluoroalkyl substances - and there are thousands of different types that are used in manufacturing. PFAS are commonly used as part of waterproof materials. They can also be found in food packaging, clothing and certain floor coatings as well as firefighting foams. The United States Environmental Protection Agency refers to PFAS as "forever chemicals" because they don't break down on their own.
