Abstract
Background
Few studies regarding infectious causes of febrile neutropenia (FN) in Mexico are available.
Aims
We aimed to describe clinical and microbiological characteristics of FN episodes during induction chemotherapy in adults with acute leukemia.
Methods and Results
This retrospective cohort from a Mexican tertiary care center included adults with newly diagnosed acute leukemia between January 2014, and December 2018. Clinical and microbiological characteristics were summarized using descriptive statistics. Univariate analyses for associations between clinical characteristics and FN and/or death were made; logistic regression analysis was performed to assess relationships with FN. Kaplan–Meier survival estimates were modeled for antimicrobial prophylaxis and FN. Ninety-five patients were included. Median age was 28 (IQR 20–43), 49 (52%) were males, and 74 (78%) developed FN (74/95). Among these, 98% had an identified source of infection (73/74) and 65% had >1. Common infections were urinary tract infection (24%), bacterial sinusitis (20%), and bacterial pneumonia (19%). Gram-negatives were the most frequently isolated microorganisms (69%), followed by Gram-positives (21%), and fungi (9%). Antimicrobial prophylaxis was inversely associated with FN (aOR = 0.07, CI 0.008–0.060, p = 0.02). Invasive fungal diseases were associated with 30-day mortality (aOR = 9.46, 95% CI 1.66–54.05).
Conclusion
Infections caused 98% of the FN episodes. Gram-negative bacteria are the most common pathogens.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
