The clinical characteristics of patients with nosocomial pneumonia (NP) associated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection are not well characterized.
Three hundred and thirty-seven consecutive patients with MRSA isolation from respiratory specimens who attended our hospital between April 2007 and March 2011 were enrolled. Patients characteristics diagnosed with 'true' MRSA-NP were described with regards to clinical, microbiological features, radiological features and genetic characteristics of the isolates. The diagnosis of 'true' MRSA-NP was confirmed by anti-MRSA treatment effects, Gram-staining or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid culture.
Thirty-six patients were diagnosed with 'true' MRSA-NP, whereas 34 were diagnosed with NP with MRSA colonization. Patients with a MRSA-NP had a Pneumonia Patient Outcomes Research Team score of 5 (58.3% vs 23.5%), single cultivation of MRSA (83.3% vs 38.2%), MRSA quantitative cultivation yielding more than 10(6) CFU/mL (80.6% vs 47.1%), radiological findings other than lobar pneumonia (66.7% vs 26.5%), and a history of head, neck, oesophageal or stomach surgery (30.6% vs 11.8%). These factors were shown to be independent predictors of the pathogenicity of 'true' MRSA-NP by multivariate analysis (P < 0.05).
'True' MRSA-NP shows distinct clinical and radiological features from NP with MRSA colonization.
耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)引起的医院获得性肺炎(NP)的临床特征尚未完全明确。
选择 2007 年 4 月至 2011 年 3 月我院收治的 337 例连续 MRSA 呼吸道标本分离患者,描述临床、微生物学、影像学和分离株遗传特征等方面确诊为“真正”MRSA-NP 的患者特征。“真正”MRSA-NP 诊断通过抗-MRSA 治疗效果、革兰染色或支气管肺泡灌洗液培养确定。
36 例患者被诊断为“真正”MRSA-NP,34 例患者被诊断为 NP 合并 MRSA 定植。MRSA-NP 患者肺炎患者结局研究组评分 5 分(58.3%比 23.5%)、单一 MRSA 培养(83.3%比 38.2%)、MRSA 定量培养大于 10(6)CFU/mL(80.6%比 47.1%)、非大叶性肺炎影像学表现(66.7%比 26.5%)、头颈部、食管或胃手术史(30.6%比 11.8%)。多因素分析显示,这些因素是“真正”MRSA-NP 致病性的独立预测因子(P < 0.05)。
“真正”MRSA-NP 与 NP 合并 MRSA 定植相比,具有明显的临床和影像学特征。
