Abstract:
Objective:To understand the early clinical characteristics and drug sensitivity results of children died of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) so as to guide the early clinical identification and treatment.Methods:The early clinical data and drug sensitivity result of children died of IPD in PICU of the Children′s Hospital, Zhengzhou University and Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University from May 2015 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 18 children meeting the criteria were enrolled, including 6 males and 12 females.The median age was 1 year and 9 months (ranged from 2 months and 20 days to 6 years and 7 months), there were 2 cases(11.1%) > 5 years old, and 16 cases(88.9%)≤ 5 years old.There were 17(94.4%) children related to community acquired infection.Among 18 cases, the first symptom was intracranial infection in 10 cases (55.6%), bloodstream infection in 4 cases (22.2%), and pulmonary infection in 3 cases (16.7%). There were 5 cases complicated with virus infection at the same time.Auxiliary examination: all of the 18 cases had anemia and hypoalbuminemia, and 15 cases(93.8%) had HCO 3- reduction.White blood cells(WBC), platelets(PLT) and natural killer (NK) cell decreased in 7 cases (7/18 cases), 12 cases (12/18 cases) and 6 cases (5/16 cases), respectively, but C-reactive protein(CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), lactic acid concentration(LAC), D-dimer (D-Di), international normalized ratio (INR) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were increased in 12 cases (12/18 cases), 14 cases (14/18 cases), 7 cases (7/17 cases), 14 cases (14/17 cases) and 9 cases (9/9 cases), respectively.Six children(33.3%) did not receive the treatment of sensitive antibiotics before admission.According to the drug sensitivity results: all the 18 strains had multiple-drug resistance(MDR), and the resistance rates of Penicillin, Erythromycin, Tetracycline, Clindamycin and Sulfamethoxazole were 22.2%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0% and 94.4%, respectively, all the strains were sensitive to Vancomycin, Linezolid and Levofloxacin. Conclusions:Most of the children died of IPD in PICU are of community-acquired infection and less than 5 years old.Anemia and hypoalbuminemia are common in the dead children.The decreased in HCO 3- and increased PCT, LAC and D-Di in the early stage might be related to poor prognosis of patients.Most of the children died of IPD are infected with MDR strains.
