Of 545 patients expected to develop prolonged neutropenia and randomized to received trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ) or placebo, 342 were evaluable for occurrence of infection or bacteremia. Some centers used oral nonabsorbable antibiotics in addition. Infection occurred in 64 (39%) of 165 placebo recipients and 46 (26%) of 177 TMP-SMZ recipients (P = .016), whereas bacteremia occurred in 32 (19%) and 22 (12%), respectively (P = .106, difference not significant [NS]). In the 139 patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL), infection occurred in 35 (55%) of 64 placebo-treated patients and 31 (41%) of 75 TMP-SMZ-treated patients (P = .162, NS), whereas bacteremia occurred in 15 (23%) and 18 (24%; NS), respectively. Excluding patients with ANLL, infection occurred in 29 (29%) of 101 placebo-treated patients and 15 (15%) of 102 TMP-SMZ recipients (P = .038), whereas bacteremia occurred in 17 (17%) and four (4%; P = .005), respectively. Gram-positive cocci were isolated less frequently from TMP-SMZ-treated, bacteremic patients, but more of their isolates were resistant to TMP-SMZ than were those from placebo recipients.
在预计会发生长期中性粒细胞减少并随机接受甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑(TMP-SMZ)或安慰剂治疗的545例患者中,有342例可评估感染或菌血症的发生情况。一些中心还使用了口服不吸收抗生素。165例接受安慰剂治疗的患者中有64例(39%)发生感染,177例接受TMP-SMZ治疗的患者中有46例(26%)发生感染(P = 0.016),而菌血症分别发生在32例(19%)和22例(12%)患者中(P = 0.106,差异无统计学意义[NS])。在139例急性非淋巴细胞白血病(ANLL)患者中,64例接受安慰剂治疗的患者中有35例(55%)发生感染,75例接受TMP-SMZ治疗的患者中有31例(41%)发生感染(P = 0.162,NS),而菌血症分别发生在15例(23%)和18例(24%;NS)患者中。排除ANLL患者后,101例接受安慰剂治疗的患者中有29例(29%)发生感染,102例接受TMP-SMZ治疗的患者中有15例(15%)发生感染(P = 0.038),而菌血症分别发生在17例(17%)和4例(4%;P = 0.005)患者中。在接受TMP-SMZ治疗的菌血症患者中,革兰氏阳性球菌的分离频率较低,但与接受安慰剂治疗的患者相比,其分离株对TMP-SMZ的耐药性更高。
