Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of bacteremia in febrile neutropenic patients and predisposing factors of bacteremia. Eighty-two febrile neutropenic attacks in 67 patients (42 male, 25 female, range 2-82 years) were evaluated. Bacteremia was found in 19.5% of the patients. Nine out of 16 pathogens isolated from blood were Gram-positive, and the rest (n=7) Gram-negative organisms. Staphylococcus aureus was the most common organism isolated from blood. There was no statistically significant relation between positive blood culture and duration of fever, chemotherapy, prior antibiotic usage, primary disease and lung lesions. Statistically significant relation was found between oral lesions and positive blood cultures.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, ateşli nötropenik olgularda gelişen bakteriyemi prevalansı ve bakteriyemiye etkili olabilecek faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada 2-82 yaşları arasında 42 erkek, 25 kadın toplam 67 hastada izlenen 82 ateşli nötropenik atak değerlendirildi. Olguların %19.5'inde bakteriyemi saptandı. Kandan izole edilen 16 etkenden dokuzu (%56.3) Gram-pozitif, yedisi (%43.7) Gram-negatifti. Kandan en sık Staphylococcus aureus izole edildi. Kan kültüründe üreme ile ateş süresi, kemoterapi uygulaması, antibiyotik kullanımı, altta yatan hastalık ve akciğer lezyonlarının varlığı arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmadı. Ağız lezyonları ile kan kültürü pozitifliği arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu.
