摘要
目的:评价口服左氧氟沙星与甲氧苄啶-磺胺甲恶唑(TMP-SMX)治疗儿科门诊大环内酯耐药百日咳的有效性和安全性。方法:在2024年百日咳爆发期间在儿科百日咳门诊进行前瞻性观察研究。对于经pcr证实的符合条件的百日咳患儿,根据家长的喜好,给予左氧氟沙星(8- 10mg /kg/剂,每日1次或2次)或TMP-SMX (4- 20mg /kg/剂,每日2次)。从缓解咳嗽症状、百日咳杆菌的细菌清除率和不良反应方面评估左氧氟沙星和TMP-SMX治疗5-14天的有效性和安全性。结果:193例百日咳患者中,84例(43.53%)接受左氧氟沙星治疗,109例(56.48%)接受TMP-SMX治疗。治疗结束后,左氧氟沙星组止咳率为96.43%,TMP-SMX组止咳率为94.50% (103/109)(p = 0.554)。左氧氟沙星组和TMP-SMX组夜间咳嗽缓解或改善率分别为98.81%和98.17% (p = 0.057)。PCR检测左氧氟沙星组与TMP-SMX组的细菌清除率(92.00 % vs 87.06%, p = 0.378)和培养组(100% vs 100%, p = 0.378)差异无统计学意义。在左氧氟沙星或TMP-SMX治疗5天或7天的患者中,症状缓解率无显著差异。结果表明:口服左氧氟沙星治疗儿童非重度百日咳的临床疗效和安全性与TMP-SMX相当,疗程为5-7天。
Levofloxacin is as effective as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for the treatment of pertussis: A prospective observational study.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oral levofloxacin verse trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) for the treatment of macrolides-resistant pertussis in pediatric outpatients.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at a pediatric pertussis outpatient clinic during the pertussis outbreak in 2024. For eligible children with PCR-confirmed pertussis, administration of either levofloxacin (8-10 mg/kg/dose, once or twice daily) or TMP-SMX (4-20 mg/kg/dose, twice daily) depended on parents' preference. Effectiveness and safety were evaluated for the 5-14 days duration of levofloxacin and TMP-SMX treatment in terms of alleviation of cough symptoms, bacteriologic clearance of Bordetella pertussis and adverse effects.
Results: Among 193 enrolled pertussis cases, eighty-four (43.53 %) received levofloxacin and 109 (56.48 %) received TMP-SMX. After completing treatment, paroxysmal cough resolved or improved in 96.43 % of levofloxacin group and 94.50 % (103/109) of TMP-SMX group (p = 0.554). Nocturnal cough resolved or improved in 98.81 % of levofloxacin group and in 98.17 % of TMP-SMX group (p = 0.057). There was no significant difference in bacteriologic clearance rate between levofloxacin group and TMP-SMX group determined by PCR (92.00 % vs 87.06 %, p = 0.378) and culture (100 % vs 100 %, p > 0.378). Symptom resolution rate did not differ significantly among patients treated for 5 or 7 days with either levofloxacin or TMP-SMX. Adverse events were reported in 9.2 % of TMP-SMX-treated patients and 2.4 % of levofloxacin-treated patients (p < 0.05). Drug rash was reported in nine (8.26 %) TMP-SMX-treated patients.
Conclusions: Oral levofloxacin showed a comparable clinical effectiveness and a favorable safety profile to TMP-SMX for the treatment of non-severe pertussis with a 5-7 days course in children.
