Abstract

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of imipenem-cilastatin as empiric therapy of febrile neutropenic patients, 60 mg/kg/day of the drug was administered intravenously in the febrile neutropenic attacks between January 2003 and June 2004. Patients in septic shock were not included in the study. Amikacin was added to patients who were febrile in 72 hrs; teicoplanine was added to the patients who were febrile after 24 hrs. of amikacin addition. If fever and neutropenia persisted on the 8th day, conventional amphotericin B was added. Fifty-one patients with 120 episodes of fever and neutropenia from our pediatric oncology department were treated. Out of these 51 patients 21 of them had acut leukemia, where as 12 lymphoma and 18 solid tumors. In 82 of the episodes (68%) severe neutropenia (neutrophil

Özet

Febril nötropeninin ampirik tedavisinde tek başına imipenem-cilastatin kullanımının etkinlik ve güvenilirliğinin belirlenmesi için Ocak 2003-Haziran 2004 tarihleri arasında gelişen febril nötropenik ataklarda ampirik olarak antibiyotik 60 mg/kg/gün dozunda intravenöz başlandı. Genel durumu çok bozuk, septik şokta olan olgular çalışmaya alınmadı. Ateşi 72. saatte düşmeyen olgulara amikasin; amikasinle 24 saatte yanıt alınamayanlara teikoplanin, sekizinci günde ateşi sürenlere ampirik antifungal tedavi (amfoterisin B) eklendi. Çocuk onkoloji bölümünde izlenen 21'i akut lösemi, 12'şi lenfoma, 18'i solid tümörlü 51 hastada gelişen 120 atak tedavi edildi. Atakların 82'sinde (%68) ağır nötropeni (nötrofil < 100/mm3) saptandı. Nötropeni süresi 2-22 gün arasında değişirken (Ortanca: 6 gün), 17 atakta (%14) 10 günden uzun sürdü. Ataklarının 18'i ( %15) mikrobiyolojik (13'ünde Gram-negatif, 5'inde Gram-pozitif bakteri), 62'si (%52) klinik olarak dökümente edilirken, 40'ında (%33) ateş nedeni bulunamadı. Antibiyotik kullanım süresi 7-25 gün arasında (Ortanca: 9.5 gün) değişti. Atakların %26'sına modifikasyon gerekti. Modifikasyonsuz başarı %74, toplam başarı %100 idi. Tedaviye bağlı önemli bir yan etki gözlenmedi. Sonuç olarak imipenem-cilastatin monoterapisi, febril nötropeninin ampirik tedavisinde etkin ve güvenilir bulundu.
