Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of blood cultures for the management of aspiration pneumonia.Material and Methods: The patients who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia were retrospectively identified from the records of Department of Infectious Diseases. The demographic and clinical features of the patients were extracted from the charts.Results: Fifty patients with aspiration pneumonia between June 2005 and August 2008 were included into the study. Thirty-five patients had community acquired aspiration pneumonia while 15 had health-care associated aspiration pneumonia. Clinical cure was achieved at 49 patients while one patient died due to respiratory insufficiency. A total of 105 blood cultures were performed from 50 patients. Twenty-seven blood cultures were initially reported as positive, but only eight were true positive. The most common bacteria isolated from blood cultures were Streptococcus pneumoniae. Antibiotics were changed according to the blood culture result only in one patient with health-care associated aspiration pneumonia.Conclusion: In this retrospective limited study we didn't observe any benefit of the blood cultures for the management of community acquired aspiration pneumonia. Prospective studies are needed to establish the utility of blood cultures in patients with health-care associated aspiration pneumonia.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı kan kültürlerinin aspirasyon pnömonisi tedavisinin düzenlenmesindeki önemini belirlenmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Aspirasyon pnömonisi tanısı ile izlenen hastalar Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Kliniği hasta kayıtları geçmişe yönelik olarak taranarak saptandı. Hastaların demografik ve klinik özellikleri dosyaları incelenerek belirlendi.Bulgular: Haziran 2005 ile Ağustos 2008 tarihleri arasında aspirasyon pnömonisi tanısı ile izlenen 50 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların 35'inde toplumda edinilmiş aspirasyon pnömonisi saptanırken, 15 hastada sağlık hizmeti kaynaklı aspirasyon pnömonisi mevcuttu. Bir hasta solunum yetmezliği nedeni ile kaybedilirken 49 hastada klinik kür elde edilmişti. Elli hastadan 105 kan kültürü alınmıştı. Bunların 27'sinde üreme saptanırken, sadece sekizi gerçek pozitifti. En sık izole edilen bakteri Streptococcus pneumoniae idi. Antibiyotik tedavisi kan kültürü sonucuna göre sadece sağlık hizmeti kaynaklı aspirasyon pnömonisi tanısı ile izlenen hastada değiştirilmişti.Sonuç: Yaptığımız bu geriye yönelik sınırlı çalışmada kan kültürü alınmasının toplumda edinilmiş aspirasyon pnömonisinin tedavisinin düzenlenmesinde faydasını saptayamadık. Sağlık hizmeti kaynaklı aspirasyon pnömonisinde kan kültürün yerini belirleyebilmek için prospektif çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
