At the bone marrow transplantation center of the San Martino Hospital (Genoa), we observed an increase in the rate of patients with positive Platelia Aspergillus (PA; Bio-Rad) test results, from 10% (38 of 386 patients) in the period from January 1999 through January 2003 to 36% (21 of 59 patients) in the period from February 2003 through May 2003. Positivity was significantly (P<.001) associated with the administration of piperacillin-tazobactam (PT) (17 [74%] of 23 patients who received PT had positive results vs. 4 [11%] of 36 who did not receive PT). Multivariate analysis found administration of PT ( chi 2=34.7; P<.001) and underlying disease ( chi 2=21.14; P<.001) to be associated with PA positivity. Of 15 PT batches tested, 12 had positive PA test results.
在圣马蒂诺医院(热那亚)的骨髓移植中心,我们观察到Platelia曲霉菌(PA;伯乐公司)检测结果呈阳性的患者比例有所上升,从1999年1月至2003年1月期间的10%(386例患者中的38例)增至2003年2月至2003年5月期间的36%(59例患者中的21例)。阳性结果与哌拉西林-他唑巴坦(PT)的使用显著相关(P<0.001)(接受PT治疗的23例患者中有17例[74%]检测结果呈阳性,而未接受PT治疗的36例患者中有4例[11%]呈阳性)。多变量分析发现,PT的使用(χ2=34.7;P<0.001)和基础疾病(χ2=21.14;P<0.001)与PA阳性相关。在检测的15批PT中,有12批PA检测结果呈阳性。
