In patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), antimicrobial therapy with oral vancomycin (OV) is increasingly used to prevent progression of the liver disease and control concomitant ulcerative colitis (UC); however, there are concerns regarding the risk of development of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Thus, we aimed to determine the incidence of VRE in PSC-UC patients. We conducted a retrospective study of PSC-UC patients, treated with OV at the Department of Gastroenterology at the Princess Alexandra Hospital. VRE testing was performed utilizing rectal swabs. We included 7 PSC-UC patients (age 22-53 years, 2 females) treated with OV with daily dose ranging from 250 to 1500 mg. All patients were treated for at least 6 months with OV (range 9-31 months, mean 32.1 months). All patients achieved complete clinical remission of the UC, with mean reduction of fecal calprotectin by 634 μg/mg (87.3%), mean reduction in the C-reactive protein by 21.9 mg/L (74.2%), and mean reduction in the total Mayo score by 9.3 (93.3%). With regard to the liver parameters, mean improvement in alkaline phosphatase enzyme and total bilirubin was -48.7 U/L (-19.7%) and -2.7 mg/dL (-19.6%), respectively. No patient treated with OV developed VRE or reported any adverse events. This cohort study including PSC-UC patients did not provide evidence for development of VRE, while treatment with vancomycin was associated with clinical and endoscopic remission of the UC. Larger, prospective trials are required to define the efficacy and safety of antimicrobial therapy in PSC-UC, while the risk of VRE appears small.
在原发性硬化性胆管炎(PSC)患者中,越来越多地使用口服万古霉素(OV)进行抗菌治疗,以预防肝病进展和控制同时发生的溃疡性结肠炎(UC);然而,人们担心会出现耐万古霉素肠球菌(VRE)的风险。因此,我们旨在确定 PSC-UC 患者中 VRE 的发生率。
我们对在Princess Alexandra 医院胃肠病科接受 OV 治疗的 PSC-UC 患者进行了回顾性研究。使用直肠拭子进行 VRE 检测。
我们纳入了 7 名 PSC-UC 患者(年龄 22-53 岁,女性 2 名),接受 OV 治疗,剂量范围为 250-1500mg/天。所有患者接受 OV 治疗至少 6 个月(范围 9-31 个月,平均 32.1 个月)。
所有患者的 UC 均完全临床缓解,粪便钙卫蛋白平均减少 634μg/mg(87.3%),C 反应蛋白平均减少 21.9mg/L(74.2%),总 Mayo 评分平均减少 9.3(93.3%)。就肝脏参数而言,碱性磷酸酶和总胆红素的平均改善值分别为-48.7U/L(-19.7%)和-2.7mg/dL(-19.6%)。接受 OV 治疗的患者均未发生 VRE 或报告任何不良事件。
这项包括 PSC-UC 患者的队列研究没有提供 VRE 发展的证据,而万古霉素治疗与 UC 的临床和内镜缓解相关。需要更大规模的前瞻性试验来确定 PSC-UC 中抗菌治疗的疗效和安全性,而 VRE 的风险似乎较小。
