Preemptive Antifungal Therapy for Febrile Neutropenic Hematological Malignancy Patients in China
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency, adverse effects, and pharmacoeconomic impact of empirical and preemptive antifungal therapy for febrile neutropenic hematological malignancy patients in China. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with febrile neutropenia during hematological malignancy were randomly divided into an empirical group and a preemptive group. The preemptive ...
متن کاملPreemptive antifungal therapy among neutropenic patients.
lated from sputum samples obtained from 7 patients were not considered to represent systemic infection. Five (16%) of the patients with VRE bacteremia had polymicrobial infections with Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (2 patients), Escherichia coli (1), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1), and Staphylococcus aureus (1). Most patients (71%) were neutropenic (absolute neutrophil count, !500 cells/mL) when the...
متن کاملEmpirical versus preemptive antifungal therapy for high-risk, febrile, neutropenic patients: a randomized, controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Empirical antifungal therapy is the standard of care for neutropenic patients with hematological malignancies who remain febrile despite broad-spectrum antibacterial treatment. Recent diagnostic improvements may ensure the early diagnosis of potentially invasive fungal disease. Reserving antifungals for this stage may achieve similar survival rates and reduce treatment toxicity and c...
متن کاملEmpirical antifungal therapy in treating febrile neutropenic patients.
Persistent or recurrent unexplained fever in neutropenic patients receiving antibiotics can be caused by invasive fungal infections, which are often difficult to diagnose. Early trials of empirical antifungal therapy with amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB) documented reductions in the frequency of and the morbidity and mortality associated with invasive fungal infections. Because of AmB's infusi...
متن کاملAltered pharmacokinetics of piperacillin in febrile neutropenic patients with hematological malignancy.
This study assessed the pharmacokinetics and dosing adequacy of piperacillin in febrile neutropenic patients after the first dose. Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using noncompartmental methods. We observed an elevated volume of distribution (29.7 ± 8.0 liters [mean ± standard deviation]) and clearance (20.2 ± 7.5 liters/h) compared to data from other patient populations. Antibiotic expo...
