Hospital mortality for patients with bacteremia due to Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between hospital mortality and bloodstream infections due to Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: A 1,400-bed, university-affiliated urban teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Between December 2001 and September 2002, 314 patients with bacteremia due to S aureus or P aeruginosa were prospectively evaluated. INTERVENTION: Prospective patient surveillance and data collection. RESULTS: Thirteen patients (4.1%) received inadequate initial antibiotic treatment. Fifty-four patients (17.2%) died during hospitalization. Hospital mortality was statistically greater for patients with bloodstream infections due to P aeruginosa (n = 49) compared to methicillin-sensitive S aureus (MSSA) [n = 117; 30.6% vs 16.2%, p = 0.036] and methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) [n = 148; 30.6% vs 13.5%, p = 0.007]. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified the lack of response to initial medical treatment (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 2.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.83 to 3.94; p = 0.010) and endocarditis (AOR, 4.62; 95% CI, 2.45 to 8.73; p = 0.016) as independent determinants of hospital mortality. Patients with bloodstream infections due to P aeruginosa were statistically more likely to be nonresponders to early medical treatment compared to patients with MSSA (73.5% vs 11.1%, p < 0.001) and MRSA (73.5% vs 16.9%, p < 0.001) bloodstream infections. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that bloodstream infections due to P aeruginosa have a greater risk of hospital mortality compared to bloodstream infections due to S aureus despite adequate antibiotic treatment. 相似文献

The Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group analyzed infectious episodes in 577 patients with acute myeloid leukemia during remission induction therapy between 1987 and 1991. 542 patients (93.9%) experienced at least one infectious episode, 121 (21.0%) had microbiologically documented infection; there was clinically documented infection in 184 (31.9%) and unexplained fever in 237 (41.1%). Among 121 microbiologically documented infections, bacteremia/fungemia was observed in 68, pneumonia in 33, and other types of infections in 20. Among the bacteremia/fungemia, gram-negative bacteria accounted for 41.2% (Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common), gram-positive bacteria for 39.7%, fungi for 16.2% (Candida spp. being most frequent), and polymicrobial for 2.9%. The most frequent isolates among pneumonia were Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus. A total of 70 patients (12.1%) died during remission induction. Mortality of 68 patients with bacteremia/fungemia was 26.5%; in these patients, mortality with concomitant pneumonia increased to 41.4%; without pneumonia, mortality was 15.4% (P < 0.05). Mortality according to the isolated microbes was 17.2% for gram-negative bacteria, 25% for gram-positive bacteria, and 54.5% for fungi. Mortality of 113 patients with pneumonia (33 microbiologically documented and 80 clinically documented), 20 with other microbiologically documented infections, 104 with other clinically documented infections, and 237 with unexplained fever was 25.7%, 5.0%, 5.8%, and 5.1%, respectively. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The pattern of nosocomial pneumonia (NP) in infants in a pediatric surgical ICU after cardiac surgery may differ from that seen in adult ICUs. STUDY OBJECTIVES: The primary aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology of NP in infants after cardiac surgery and, secondarily, to describe the changes of the distribution and antibiotic resistance of the pathogen during the last 3 years. METHODS: Data were collected between June 1999 and June 2002 from 311 consecutive infants who underwent open-heart surgery in our hospital. We retrospectively analyzed the distribution and antibiotic resistance pattern of all the pathogenic microbial isolates cultured from lower respiratory tract aspirations. RESULTS: Of 311 infants, 67 patients (21.5%) acquired NP after cardiac surgery. The incidence of NP was more frequently associated with complex congenital heart defect (CHD) compared to simple CHD (43% vs 15.9%, chi(2) = 22.47, p < 0.0001). The proportion of late-onset NP was higher in patients with complex CHD (chi(2) = 6.02, p = 0.014). A total of 79 pathogenic microbial strains were isolated. Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) were the most frequent isolates (68 isolates, 86.1%), followed by fungi (6 isolates, 7.6%) and Gram-positive cocci (5 isolates, 6.3%). The main GNB were Acinetobacter baumanii (11 isolates, 13.9%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10 isolates, 12.7%); other commonly seen GNB were Flavobacterium meningosepticum (7 isolates, 8.9%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (7 isolates, 8.9%), Escherichia coli (6 isolates, 7.6%), and Xanthomonas maltophilia (5 isolates, 6.2%). The most commonly seen Gram-positive cocci were Staphylococcus aureus (2 isolates, 2.5%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (2 isolates, 2.5%). The frequent fungi were Candida albicans (5 isolates, 6.3%). Most GNB were sensitive to cefoperazone-sulbactum, piperacillin-tazobactam, imipenem, ciprofloxacin, amikacin. The bacteria producing extended spectrum beta-lactamases were mainly from K pneumoniae and E coli; the susceptibility of ESBL-producing strains to imipenem was 100%. There were one case of methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) and 1 case of methicillin-resistant S epidermidis; their susceptibility to vancomycin, gentamycin, and ciprofloxacin were 100%. From 1999 to 2002 in infants with NP after open-heart surgery, there was a trend of increasing frequency of multiresistant GNB such as A baumanii, P aeruginosa, and K pneumoniae. However, no remarkable changes of distribution were found in Gram-positive cocci and fungi in the 3-year period. Early onset episodes of NP were frequently caused by Haemophilus influenzae, methicillin-sensitive S aureus, and other susceptible Enterobacteriaceae. Conversely, in patients who acquired late-onset NP, P aeruginosa, A baumannii, other multiresistant GNB, MRSA, and fungi were the predominant organisms. CONCLUSIONS: The pattern of pathogens and their antibiotic-resistance patterns in NP in infants after cardiac surgery had not shown an increasing prevalence of Gram-positive pathogens as reported by several adult ICUs. GNB still remained the most common pathogens during the last 3 years in our hospital. There was a trend of increasing antibiotic resistance in these isolates. 相似文献

Pseudomonas is a clinically significant and opportunist pathogen, usually associated in causing high mortality nosocomial infections. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with septic shock in patients diagnosed with hematologic malignancies and Pseudomonas infections. A total of 80 Pseudomonas isolates (77 Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were collected from 66 patients aged 2-64 years: 52 with acute leukemia (79%), 7 with lymphoma (10.5%), and 7 with other hematologic disorders (10.5%), between 2001 and 2009. The median age of the patients was 30 years. Isolates were collected mostly from bloodstreams (45%) and skin lesions (31.5%). The median time for microbiologic documentation was 8 days (range 0-35 days) from onset of neutropenia. At least 11 patients (16.6%) had recurrent (≥2) infections. The clinical symptoms observed were skin lesions (34%), diarrhea (20%), isolated fever (18%), and respiratory symptoms (14%). The isolates tested were found resistant to piperacillin/tazobactam (43%), ceftazidime (31%), imipenem-cilastatin (26%), ciprofloxacin (25%), and amikacin (26%). Septic shock occurred in 16.2% of episodes (13/80). Crude mortality due to septic shock occurred in 19.6% of patients (13/66). The median time for response to antibiotic therapy in the remaining 80.4% of patients (53/66) was 2.5 days. Univariate analysis revealed that factors associated with septic shock were: fever for ≥3 days in patients on antibiotic therapy (P = 0.019), serum lactate >5 mmol (P = 0.05), hemoglobin level <50 g/l (P = 0.042), hypoproteinemia <50 g/l (P = 0.01), procalcitonin >10 ng/ml (P = 0.031), and hypophosphatemia (P = 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that hypophosphatemia (P = 0.018), hypoproteinemia (P = 0.028), and high serum lactate (P = 0.012) are significant factors, independently associated with increased risk of septic shock in patients with hematologic malignancies and Pseudomonas infections. 相似文献

Infectious complications occur in 60-100% of patients following high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and are commonly caused by Gram-negative aerobic bacteria (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and enterobacteriacea e) and Gram-positive cocci (such as enterococci, streptococci and staphylococci), which should be covered by empiric first-line antibiotic therapy. Less frequently, infections are caused by fungi and anaerobic bacteria, and initial therapy does not necessarily have to cover coagulase-negative staphylococci, oxacillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), anaerobic bacteria and fungi. Patients who already receive antibiotics and develop pulmonary infiltrates should immediately be treated with systemic antifungals. Patients with fever and diarrhea or other signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal or perianal infection should be treated with antibiotics covering anaerobic bacteria and enterococci. Clinically stable patients with skin infections or central venous catheter-related infections can be treated with standard empiric antibiotic therapy including a beta-lactam active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa with or without an aminoglycoside, and should only receive glycopeptides if they do not respond to first-line therapy within 72 hours, become clinically unstable, have severe mucositis, or when resistance against the empiric antibiotics is demonstrated. Recombinant hematopoietic growth factors should not be added routinely but may be considered in life-threatening situations such as invasive pulmonary mycoses or sepsis. 相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To identify factors predisposing cystic fibrosis (CF) patients to Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection and to determine whether coinfection with S maltophilia affects the clinical response to therapy with tobramycin solution for inhalation (TSI), 300 mg bid. DESIGN: Retrospective review of data collected from two identical, 6-month, randomized, placebo-controlled trials. SETTING: Sixty-nine CF centers in the United States. INTERVENTIONS: Active drug administration of 300 mg TSI. PATIENTS: Five hundred twenty CF patients with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa endobronchial infections. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: A logistic regression analysis identified factors contributing to increased S maltophilia isolation frequency. In this multivariate analysis, the only significant predictors of S maltophilia isolation during the last month of the trial were the concomitant use of oral quinolones (primarily ciprofloxacin; p = 0.0015) and S maltophilia isolation prior to treatment (p < 0.0001). Treatment group, gender, age, use of systemic or inhaled steroids, use of oral sulfonamide, IV cephalosporins, or penicillin antibiotics, baseline FEV(1) percent predicted, and pretreatment Aspergillus isolation were not significant predictors of subsequent S maltophilia infection. In addition, S maltophilia-positive culture frequency was compared to the change in pulmonary function. Patients who either never had culture results positive for S maltophilia or who were positive at <25% of observations had greater clinical response to TSI at the final study visit compared to patients who were positive at > or = 25% of observations. CONCLUSIONS: TSI therapy did not result in a greater risk for isolation of S maltophilia than standard care alone. In contrast, oral quinolone antibiotic use during the trial was associated with a 2.7-fold increased risk of having a culture positive for S maltophilia (p = 0.0015). The use of TSI to suppress P aeruginosa resulted in improved lung function, regardless of S maltophilia culture frequency. However, improvement was not as great among patients who were persistently coinfected with S maltophilia. 相似文献

Predisposing factors, clinical characteristics, and antimicrobial treatment of 37 hematology patients with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia bacteremia who were seen at the department of hematology of the University La Sapienza (Rome) from 1987 to 1996 were evaluated. The results were compared with a control group of patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia. Profound neutropenia was more prolonged in the S. maltophilia group (P=.025), severe cellulitis occurred only in S. maltophilia-infected patients (11 [30%]; P=.0002), and the bacteremia presented as breakthrough infection in 56% of the cases due to S. maltophilia (vs. only 24% of those due to P. aeruginosa; P=.002). Acute mortality rates associated with S. maltophilia and P. aeruginosa bacteremia were 24% and 21%, respectively. In both groups, profound neutropenia and hypotension at the onset of bacteremia, duration of profound neutropenia during bacteremia, severity-of-illness score > or =4, and inappropriate antibacterial treatment were factors significantly associated with death. Most S. maltophilia isolates were resistant to aminoglycosides, beta-lactams, and ciprofloxacin. Cotrimoxazole and ticarcillin-clavulanic acid showed borderline activity. Prompt administration of in vitro-active antibiotics may improve the prognosis of S. maltophilia bacteremia, especially for immunocompromised patients, and novel drug combinations are needed for the treatment of severe infections. 相似文献

We undertook a study of the characteristics and clinical impact of infections due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) after liver transplantation. Of 165 patients who received liver transplants at our institution from 1990 through 1998, 38 (23%) developed MRSA infections. The predominant sources of infection were vascular catheters (39%; n=15), wound (18%; n=7), abdomen (18%; n=7), and lung (13%; n=5). A significant increase in MRSA infections (as a percentage of transplant patients infected per year) occurred over time (P=.0001). This increase was greater among intensive care unit patients (P=.001) than among nonintensive care unit hospital patients (P=.17). Cytomegalovirus seronegativity (P=.01) and primary cytomegalovirus infection were significantly associated with MRSA infections (P=.005). Thirty-day mortality among patients with MRSA infections was 21% (8/38). Mortality was 86% in patients with bacteremic MRSA pneumonia or abdominal infection and 6% in those with catheter-related bacteremia (P=.004). Thus the incidence of MRSA infection has increased exponentially among our liver transplant recipients since 1990. These infections have unique risk factors, time of onset, and a significant difference in site-specific mortality; deep-seated bacteremic infections, in particular, portend a grave outcome. 相似文献

Pseudomonas maltophilia (Xanthomonas maltophilia) is a frequently isolated commensal that is gaining increasing recognition as an opportunistic pathogen in debilitated hosts. We report three unusual infections due to P maltophilia that illustrate the ability of the organism to cause life-threatening illness. We describe a case of postoperative meningitis, a case of recurrent bacteremia complicated by ecthyma gangrenosum, and a case of native valve endocarditis in a drug addict. Because of frequent isolation from noninfected sites, the pathogenic potential of P maltophilia may be overlooked. The notable resistance of this organism is commonly used beta-lactam and aminoglycoside antibiotics may complicate therapy. 相似文献
