High-dose vancomycin therapy for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections: efficacy and toxicity.
BACKGROUND Vancomycin hydrochloride treatment failure for infections caused by susceptible methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains with high minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) has prompted recent guidelines to recommend a higher vancomycin target trough of 15 to 20 microg/mL. METHODS A prospective cohort study of adult patients infected with MRSA was performed to determ...
متن کاملPathogenesis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
Staphylococcus aureus is a versatile pathogen capable of causing a wide range of human diseases. However, the role of different virulence factors in the development of staphylococcal infections remains incompletely understood. Some clonal types are well equipped to cause disease across the globe, whereas others are facile at causing disease among community members. In this review, general aspec...
متن کاملLong-term outcome of high-dose cytarabine-based consolidation chemotherapy for adults with acute myelogenous leukemia.
Modern induction chemotherapy produces 60% to 80% complete remissions in adults with newly diagnosed acute myelogenous leukemia. A major challenge is to eradicate subclinical disease in remission and prevent leukemic relapse. We analyzed the long-term results of high-dose cytarabine-anthracycline consolidation chemotherapy without maintenance treatment and examined the effect of major prognosti...
متن کاملCommunity-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection.
There was no drainage from the lesion. Two more small papules were noted on the buttocks. Physical findings were otherwise unremarkable. Wound culture was positive for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Initial treatment with intravenous vancomycin was switched to intravenous clindamycin after culture results showed MRSA. The patient's symptoms resolved after 2 days of treatmen...
