Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the microbiologic and clinical characteristics of bloodstream infection in neutropenic pediatric patients with hematological malignancies and provide data support for the rational use of antimicrobial agents in these patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data, pathogen species distribution, and drug sensitivity data of bloodstream infection in neutropenic pediatric patients with hematological malignancies from the Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital from January 2014 to December 2018.Results:Total 537 episodes of bloodstream infections occurred in 427 neutropenic children with hematological malignancies; the 30-day all-cause mortality rate was 3.7%. The clinical feature of 44.7% patients with bloodstream infection was only fever, and the pathogenic bacteria were mainly enterobacteriaceae bacteria. Bloodstream infection was usually accompanied by oral mucosa (20.7%) , respiratory tract (20.5%) , and digestive tract (14.3%) symptoms. The distribution of pathogens in patients with different symptoms of bloodstream infection varied ( χ2=40.561, P=0.001) . Total 550 strains of pathogens were isolated, and the top 5 bacteria were Streptococcus aureus (109 strains, 19.8%) , Escherichia coli (99 strains, 18.0%) , Staphylococcus epidermidis (75 strains, 13.6%) , Klebsiella pneumoniae (67 strains, 12.2%) , and Staphylococcus aureus (32 strains, 5.8%) . The resistance rates of Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to piperacillin/tazobactam and carbapenems were <5%. The proportion of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Staphylococcus aureus was 9.7%. Conclusion:The proportion of pathogenic bacteria gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli in the bloodstream infection of neutropenic children with hematological malignancies was approximately the same, suggesting that the use of antimicrobial agents should be broad-spectrum. Carbapenems, glycopeptides, and enzyme inhibitor complexes still have good effects.
