Subject: [ozbug] Burkholderia cepacia contamination of skin prep.Dear all
I am keen to alert you to an emerging concern we have seen in our hospital.
Case: we have a neonate with severe scalp infection secondary to Burkholderia cepacia.
Investigation: given the unusual nature of this organism in this population, we have looked for environmental sources. The wound followed an EEG – the scalp was prepared with an abrasive skin prepping lotion.
Lemon Prep
Product Code MD0019
Supplier Address Mavidon Medical Products 6625 White Dr Riviera Beach, FL 33407 USAThis is a multiuse produce supplied in 114gm tubes.
We have tested a number of these and identified B cepecia in both open and unopened tubes. Clonality has not yet been determined. Other pathogens have not been identified in the prep.
The lot numbers that are positive (so far) are 30145, 29824, 30006 and 30236.
This abrasive preparation is used to prepare the skin, reducing the skin impedance.
The TGA and the manufacturer have been notified.
We are using alternative products pending further investigation.
My understanding is that this skin prep is used extensively throughout Australia and the extent of the contamination is not yet known. Could you please inform your infection prevention and neurology colleagues
Best wishes
Chris
