Abstract

Aim: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is a nosocomial pathogen of increasing importance. Empiric antibiotic therapy for S. maltophilia infection is difficult because the microorganism is resistant to a number of agents typically used for health care associated infections, thus potentially increasing mortality. This study investigates 23 nosocomial pneumonia cases caused by S. maltophilia, the antibacterial sensitivity of the bacterium and the effect on mortality of suitable empiric therapy. Materials and methods: Twenty-three patients with nosocomial pneumonia caused by S. maltophilia between January 2000 and December 2006 at the Karadeniz Technical University Hospital were retrospectively investigated. Results: Suitable empiric therapy was used with 12 patients (52.2%), but the therapies administered to the other 11 patients were inappropriate for S. maltophilia infection. Eight (72.7%) of the patients who were not given suitable empiric antibiotherapy died (P = 0.002). Conclusion: The appropriate empiric antibiotic was administered to only 12 of the patients. The mortality rate among those patients to whom appropriate empiric antibiotics were not administered was high, proving that suitable empiric therapy is vitally important. Due to the increase in mortality, it is essential to initiate appropriate empiric therapy by carefully evaluating the risk factors for S. maltophilia in nosocomial pneumonia and taking sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens without delay.

Özet

Amaç: Stenotrophomonas maltophilia önemi giderek artan bir hastane patojenidir. S. maltophilia infeksiyonunda ampirik antibiyotik tedavisi zordur. Bu mikroorganizma sağlık bakımı ile ilişkili infeksiyonlarda kullanılan çok sayıda ajana dirençlidir ve bu nedenle de mortalite artmaktadır. Bu çalışma S. maltophilia’nın neden olduğu 23 hastane kaynaklı pnömoni vakasını, bakterinin antibakteriyel duyarlılığını ve uygun ampirik tedavinin mortalite üzerine etkisini incelemektedir.Yöntem ve gereç: Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi Hastanesinde Ocak 2000 ve Aralık 2006 tarihleri arasında S. maltophilia’nın neden olduğu 23 hastane kaynaklı pnömoni hastası retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Uygun ampirik tedavi 12 (% 52,2) hastaya uygulandı. Diğer 11 hasta için uygulanan tedavi S. maltophilia infeksiyonu için uygun değildi. Uygun ampirik antibiyoterapi almayan hastaların sekizi (% 72,7) öldü (P = 0,002). Sonuç: Uygun ampirik antibiyotik yalnız 12 hastaya uygulandı. Uygun ampirik antibiyotik uygulanmayan bu hastalar arasında mortalite oranı yüksekti. Bu da uygun ampirik tedavinin hayati önemli olduğunun kanıtıdır. Mortalitedeki yükseklik nedeniyle hastane kaynaklı pnömonide balgam ve bronkoalveolar lavaj örneği gecikme olmaksızın alınarak ve S. maltophilia için risk faktörleri dikkatlice değerlendirilerek uygun ampirik tedavinin başlanması gereklidir.
