To evaluate the benefits and safety of the empiric antibiotic treatment (EAT) active against KPC- in febrile neutropenic patients with acute leukaemia (AL) who are colonised by KPC-
A 7-year (2013-2019) retrospective observational cohort study was conducted at the Haematology, Sapienza Rome University (Italy) on 94 febrile neutropenia episodes (FNE) in AL patients KPC- carriers treated with active EAT.
Eighty-two (87%) FNE were empirically treated with antibiotic combinations [38 colistin-based and 44 ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZAVI)-based], 12 with CAZAVI monotherapy. Successful outcomes were observed in 88/94 (94%) FNE, 46/49 (94%) microbiologically documented infections, and 24/27 (89%) gram-negative bloodstream infections (GNB-BSI). Mortality due to infective causes was 4.2% (2.1% within 1 week). KPC infections caused 28/94 FNE (30%) and KPCBSI was documented in 22 FNE (23.4%) (85% of GNB-BSI), in all cases patients received active EAT, and 21 survived. KPCBSI mortality rate was 4.5%. CAZAVI-based EAT showed better results than colistin-based EAT (55/56 vs 33/38, p = 0.037), overall and without EAT modification (41/56 vs 20/38, p = 0.02). Empirical combinations including CAZAVI were successful in 98% of cases (43/44 vs 33/38 for colistin-based EAT, p = 0.01), without modifications in 82% (36/44 vs 20/28, p = 0.02). All deaths occurred in patients treated with colistin-based EAT (4/38 vs 0/56, p = 0.02). CAZAVI-containing EAT was the only independent factor for an overall successful response (HR 0.058, CI 0.013-1.072, p = 0.058). Nephrotoxicity occurred in 3(8%) patients undergoing colistin-based EAT (none in those undergoing CAZAVI-based EAT, p = 0.02).
KPC- infections are frequent in colonised AL patients with FNE. EAT with active antibiotics, mainly CAZAVI-based combinations, was effective, safe, and associated with low overall and KPCBSI-related mortality.
评估对产KPC酶菌有活性的经验性抗生素治疗(EAT)在急性白血病(AL)伴发热性中性粒细胞减少且产KPC酶菌定植患者中的益处和安全性。
在意大利罗马第二大学血液科进行了一项为期7年(2013 - 2019年)的回顾性观察队列研究,纳入94例接受活性EAT治疗的AL产KPC酶菌携带者发热性中性粒细胞减少发作(FNE)。
82例(87%)FNE接受了抗生素联合治疗[38例基于黏菌素,44例基于头孢他啶 - 阿维巴坦(CAZAVI)],12例接受CAZAVI单药治疗。88/94例(94%)FNE、46/49例(94%)微生物学确诊感染以及24/27例(89%)革兰阴性菌血流感染(GNB - BSI)获得成功结局。感染性病因导致的死亡率为4.2%(1周内为2.1%)。产KPC酶菌感染导致28/94例FNE(30%),22例FNE(23.4%)记录有产KPC酶菌血流感染(KPCBSI)(占GNB - BSI的85%),所有病例患者均接受活性EAT,21例存活。KPCBSI死亡率为4.5%。基于CAZAVI的EAT比基于黏菌素的EAT效果更好(55/56对比33/38,p = 0.037),总体情况以及未调整EAT时均如此(41/56对比20/38,p = 0.02)。包含CAZAVI的经验性联合治疗在98%的病例中成功(基于黏菌素的EAT为43/44对比33/38,p = 0.01),未调整时为82%(36/44对比20/28,p = 0.02)。所有死亡均发生在接受基于黏菌素的EAT治疗的患者中(4/38对比0/56,p = 0.02)。含CAZAVI的EAT是总体成功反应的唯一独立因素(风险比0.058,可信区间0.013 - 1.072,p = 0.058)。3例(8%)接受基于黏菌素的EAT治疗的患者发生肾毒性(接受基于CAZAVI的EAT治疗的患者中无肾毒性发生,p = 0.02)。
在AL伴FNE且产KPC酶菌定植的患者中,产KPC酶菌感染很常见。使用活性抗生素进行EAT,主要是基于CAZAVI的联合治疗,有效、安全,且总体及与KPCBSI相关的死亡率较低。
