ABSTRACT

Symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE) is a benign, self-limited, immune-mediated, symmetric erythematous rash involving the buttocks and other intertriginous/flexural areas, observed after systemic exposure to a drug in an individual with or without prior sensitization. We present a 70-year old patient, who presented SDRIFE after the administration of piperacillin-tazobactam which improved rapidly after its suspension.


El exantema intertriginoso y flexural simétrico relacionado con fármacos (SDRIFE, por su sigla en inglés) es una erupción eritematosa simétrica, inmunomediada, benigna y autolimitada, que compromete glúteos y otras áreas intertriginosas, flexurales o ambas, y que se observa luego de la exposición sistémica a un fármaco en un individuo con sensibilización previa o sin ella. Se comenta el caso clínico de un paciente de 70 años de edad, que presentó SDRIFE posterior a la administración de piperacilina-tazobactam y que mejoró rápidamente luego de su suspensión.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: Se desconocen las alteraciones farmacocinéticas de piperacilina/tazobactam (PT) en pacientes pediátricos que requieren de membrana de oxigenación extracorpórea (ECMO) y cómo dosificar adecuadamente dicho antimicrobiano. Objetivo: Describir las concentraciones plasmáticas (CP)y evaluar el cumplimiento del objetivo farmacocinético/famacodinámico de piperacilina en pacientes pediátricos en soporte con ECMO. Métodos: Presentamos tres pacientes pediátricos en tratamiento con PT que requirieran de ECMO en los que se midieron CP de piperacilina en la mitad del intervalo de dosificación mediante cromatografía liquida de alta resolución. Resultados: Las CP fueron 51,7-14,1 y 6,5 μg/mL para los pacientes A, B y C, respectivamente. Sólo se alcanzaron CP adecuadas en un paciente. Conclusión: Estos resultados preliminares sugieren que la disponibilidad de CP de piperacilina podría optimizar el cumplimiento de los objetivos farmacocinéticos/farmacodinámicos en pacientes pediátricos en soporte con ECMO.


Abstract Background: Pharmacokinetics and optimal dosing of piperacillin tazobactam (PT) have not been well studied in pediatric patients undergoing extracorporeal oxygenation membrane (ECMO). Aim: To describe piperacillin plasmatic concentration and evaluate achievement of pharmaccokinetic/pharmacodinamic objective in patients on ECMO support. Method: We report three pediatric patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, treated with PT undergoing ECMO. Plasmatic concentrations of piperacillin were obtained in the middle of the dosing interval using high performance liquid chromatography. Results: Plasmatic concentrations were 51,7-14,1 and 6,5 μg/mL for patient A, B and C respectively. Only one patient reached adequate concentrations. Conclusion: These preliminary results suggest that availability of plasmatic concentrations of piperacillin could optimize the achievement of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic objectives in pediatric patients on ECMO support.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: En las infecciones por enterobacterias productoras de β-lactamasas de espectro extendido (BLEE), los β-lactámicos preferidos para tratamiento son los carbapenémicos. Sin embargo, estudios clínicos muestran eficacia de piperacilina/tazobactam en ciertas infecciones por Escherichia coli productoras de BLEE. Objetivo: Determinar la cura clínica y microbiológica con piperacilina/tazobactam en pacientes con infecciones por E. coli productoras de BLEE, tipo CTX-M. Materiales/Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, con adultos internados en un hospital universitario. Incluimos infecciones del tracto urinario (ITU), intra-abdominales (IIA) e infecciones de tejidos blandos (ITB). Resultados: Estudiamos 40 pacientes, donde 65% correspondían a ITU, 25% IIA y 10 % ITB. La cura clínica global se logró en 89,4%, con mejores resultados en las ITU (100%), seguidas de ITB (80%) e IIA (70%). El 85% de las cepas tenía concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas (CIM) ≤ 8 μg/mL y 70% con CIM ≤ 4 μg/mL. La tasa de fracaso fue mayor en las infecciones con inóculos altos intraabdominales. La BLEE del tipo CTX-M-15 se encontró en 62,5%. Conclusiones: Piperacilina/tazobactam logró cura clínica y microbiológica, en pacientes con infecciones por E. coli productoras de BLEE susceptibles, especialmente en ITU e IPB y en menor medida en IIA.


Background: Carbapenems are the preferred β-lactamics for treatment for infections caused by enterobacteria producing extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL); however, clinical studies show effectiveness of piperacillin/tazobactam in certain infections by Escherichia coli ESBL producers. Aim: To determine the clinical and micro-biological cure with piperacillin/tazobactam in patients with infections caused by E. coli ESBL producers, CTXM type. Methods: Retrospective descriptive study with adults hospitalized in a university hospital. We included urinary tract infections (UTI), intra-abdominal infections (IAI), soft tissue infections (STI) and/or bacteremia. Results: We studied 40 patients, where 65% corresponded to UTI, 25% to IAI and 10% were STI. The overall clinical cure was achieved in 89.4%, with the best results in the ITU (100%), followed by STI (80%) and 70% in IAI. The 85% of the strains had minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) ≤8 μg/ml and 70% with MIC ≤4 μg/mL, however the rate of failure were high in intra-abdominal infections with high inocula or not controlled; CTX-M-15 was found in the 62.5%. Conclusions: Piperacillin/tazobactam was efficient to obtain clinical and microbiological cure in patients with infections caused by ESBL producers but susceptible E. coli, especially in UTI and STI and to a lesser extent in IAI.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción: Las enterobacterias son bacilos gram-negativos responsables de infecciones graves en el ser humano. Se reporta una susceptibilidad en Klebsiella pneumoniae de 79,4% a piperacilina/tazobactam (PIP/TAZO) en hospitales pediátricos de Chile, pero según nuestro conocimiento, no existen datos publicados a la fecha respecto a la susceptibilidad de otras enterobacterias a PIP/TAZO en la población pediátrica chilena. Objetivo: Determinar la susceptibilidad in vitro a PIP/TAZO en cepas obtenidas de infecciones por Enterobacteriaceae en un hospital pediátrico de Chile. Material y Método: Estudio descriptivo y prospectivo de cepas de Enterobacteriaceae en Hospital de Niños Roberto del Río (HRRIO) entre 1 de enero de 2013 y el 27 de agosto de 2014. Se definió la susceptibilidad a PIP/TAZO por método de gradiente (E-test®) según puntos de corte CLSI 2014. Resultados: Se incluyeron 163 casos. El promedio de edad fue de 4 años 15 días. 70,6% de sexo femenino. El 79,7% de las cepas fueron aisladas en urocultivos. La susceptibilidad de Enterobacteriaceae a PIP/TAZO fue 95,1% (n = 155). La susceptibilidad intermedia fue 1,8% (n = 3). Discusión: Los aislados estudiados presentan alta susceptibilidad a PIP/TAZO. Este hallazgo puede explicarse por la baja circulación de microrganismos productores de BLEE y el limitado uso de PIP/TAZO en esta población pediátrica.


Introduction: Enterobacteriaceae are a group of gram-negative rods that can cause serious infections in humans. A susceptibility in Klebsiella pneumoniae of 79.4% to piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP/TAZO) is reported in pediatric hospitals in Chile. There is no published data published to date regarding PIP/TAZO susceptibility to other Enterobacteriaceae species in this population. Aim: To measure the in vitro PIP/TAZO susceptibility in Enterobacteriaceae isolates from patients in a pediatric hospital in Chile. Methods: Descriptive and prospective study of Enterobacteriaceae positive cultures from patients assisting to the "Hospital de niños Roberto del Río" (HRRIO) between January 2013 and August 2014. PIP/TAZO susceptibility was established by gradient diffusion method (E-test®) according to the 2014 CLSI standards. Results: 163 cases were included. The average age was 4 years and 15 days. 70.6% were female. 79.7% of samples were urine cultures. PIP/TAZO susceptibility in Enterobacteriaceae was 95.1% (n = 155). The intermediate susceptibility was 1.8% (n = 3). Discussion: The isolates studied present high susceptibility to PIP/TAZO. This finding could be explained by the fact that this population has not been exposed to this antimicrobial therapy and also the low rates for ESBL in pediatric infections.

ABSTRACT

Febrile neutropenia (FN) causes a major threat to cancer patients after chemotherapy. Broadspectrum antibiotic treatment is a well-established practice for febrile neutropenia. Piperacillin/Tazobactam (P/T) is the frequently used antibiotic in most of FN cases, whereas the use of cefepime remains unclear regarding its potential risk. However, little systematic analysis has been conducted about comparison between these two drugs. Thus, we undertook this meta-analysis to compare these two monotherapies for febrile neutropenia. Through searching Pubmed, Google scholar, Medline databases, EMBASE, OvidSP, ScienceDirect, Web of science, and China Journal Net (CJN) databases, we used the keywords "(Piperacillin/Tazobactam AND cefepime) AND (febrile neutropenia) AND (cancer or tumor)". Only studies with randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. We screened out a total number of seven clinical trials. This meta-analysis supported that P/T treatment was superior to cefepime treatment based on the average OR comparison, without statistical significance (OR = 1.27, 95% confidence interval = 0.98 to 1.64, p = 0.07). We further divided the seven studies into two subgroups based on age and treatment time. The young group (age <= 19) showed no significant difference (OR = 1.10, p = 0.65). While the old group (age > 19) showed that P/T treatment was better than cefepime with statistical difference (OR = 1.44, p = 0.05). The short-term group (time <= 3 ds) showed P/T treatment was better than cefepime with statistical difference (OR = 1.40, p = 0.05). While in the long-term group (time > 5 ds), there was no significant difference between P/T and cefepime therapy (OR = 1.06, p = 0.79) Asymmetry in Funnel plots indicated no publication bias (CHI2 = 1.47, I2=0%, and p-value = 0.96) in this meta-analysis. It would be a good clinical trial to use P/T treatment to cure FN in cancer patients compared with cefepime treatment, especially in adult patients or patients with a short-term treatment period. This meta-analysis is practically important during antibiotic treatment in FN management.


A Neutropenia Febril (NF) apresenta-se como uma grande ameaça aos pacientes oncológicos após a quimioterapia. O tratamento antibiótico de amplo espectro é uma prática bem estabelecida para a neutropenia febril. Piperacilina/tazobactam (P/T) é o antibiótico frequentemente na maioria dos casos de NF, enquanto que o uso de cefepima permanece pouco claro em relação ao seu potencial risco. No entanto, pouca análise sistemática foi feita sobre a comparação entre esses dois fármacos. Assim, nós realizamos esta meta-análise para comparar estas duas monoterapias para a neutropenia febril. Através da pesquisa na Pubmed, Google Scholar, nas bases de dados da Medline, EMBASE, OvidSP, ScienceDirect, Web of science e nas bases de dados do China Journal Net (CJN), nós usamos as palavras-chave "(Piperacillin/Tazobactam AND cefepime) AND (febrile neutropenia) AND (cancer or tumor)". Apenas estudos com ensaios clínicos randomizados foram incluídos na meta-análise. Nós selecionamos um número total de sete ensaios clínicos. Esta meta-análise suportou que o tratamento com P/T foi superior ao tratamento com cefepima baseado na média da comparação OU (average OR comparision, em inglês), sem significância estatística (OR = 1.27, 95% confidence interval = 0.98 to 1.64, p = 0.07). Posteriormente, nós dividimos os sete estudos em dois subgrupos baseados na idade e no tempo de tratamento. O grupo jovem (idade <= 19) não mostrou uma diferença significativa (OR = 1.10, p = 0.65). Enquanto que o grupo mais velho (idade > 19) mostrou que o tratamento com P/T foi melhor do que o com cefepima com diferença estatística (OR = 1.44, p = 0.05). O grupo de curto prazo (tempo <= 3 ds*) mostrou que o tratamento com P/T foi melhor do que o com cefepima com diferença estatística (OR = 1.40, p = 0.05). Enquanto isso, no grupo de longo termo (tempo > 5 ds) não houve diferença significativa entre as terapias com P/T e Cefepima (OR = 1.06, p = 0.79). A assimetria nos gráficos de funil (funnel plots, em inglês) não indicaram viés de publicação (CHI2 = 1.47, I2=0%, and pvalue = 0.96) nesta meta-análise. Seria um bom ensaio clínico utilizar o tratamento P/T para curar NF em pacientes oncológicos comparados com o tratamento com cefepima, especialmente em pacientes adultos ou pacientes submetidos a um tratamento de curto prazo. Esta meta-análise é importante na prática durante o tratamento com antibióticos na administração de NF.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Los pacientes que tuvieron complicaciones infecciosas post cirugía de apendicitis siguen usualmente un esquema de tratamiento establecido de antibióticos en el Hospital San Juan de Dios (HSJD). Se realizó un análisis retrospectivo de 60 pacientes pediátricos con apendicitis complicada a quienes se les efectuó una apendicectomía abierta y se utilizó el esquema antibiótico de metronidazol y gentamicina. Objetivo. Evaluar la eficacia del esquema de antibióticos usados. Metodología. El estudio se efectuó en la Unidad de Cirugía Pediátrica del HGSJD en el período de tiempo de enero a diciembre de 2013. Se evaluaron las complicaciones infecciosas en los pacientes que requirieron la omisión de los antibióticos mencionados y el inicio de la combinación de piperacilina tazobactam ­ amikacina. Resultados. Hubo 56 (93%) pacientes en quienes el esquema inicial de metronidazol ­ gentamicina fue el único empleado sin que presentaran complicación infecciosa alguna, mientras que 4 (7%) pacientes presentaron colecciones abdominales que requirieron el cambio a piperacilina tazobactam-amikacina con lo que resolvieron la sepsis abdominal. Conclusiones. La utilización de la combinación antibiótica de metronidazol-gentamicina continúa siendo eficiente en la población pediátrica con apendicitis aguda complicada que consulta a nuestro hospital dejando el empleo de la piperacilina tazobactam y amikacina como una alternativa terapéutica útil. Palabras clave: Apendicetomía, metronidazol-gentamicina, piperacilina-tazobactam, amikacina


Introduction: A retrospective study was conducted with 60 pediatric patients with diagnosis of complicated appendicitis, in which open appendectomy was performed and treated with metronidazole and gentamycin. Objective: To evaluate efficacy between the combination of a routinely stablished treatment of metronidazole and gentamycin and piperacillin-tazobactam with amikacin in the treatment of complicated appendectomies. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted in the Pediatric Surgery Unit of the General Hospital San Juan de Dios from January to December 2013. The postoperative complications were assessed of patients who needed a change in antibiotic therapy to piperacillin tazobactam-amikacin. Results: Fifty-six patients (93%) in which the initial antibiotic combination was used recovered without any complications. Four (7%) patients developed intraabdominal collections and needed therapy with piperacillin tazobactam­amikacin with which they resolved the abdominal sepsis. The antibiotic combination gentamycin and metronidazole is still effective in the pediatric population with complicated acute appendicitis in our hospital, leaving the use of piperacillin tazobactam ­ amikacin as a useful alternative. Keywords: Appendectomy, metronidazole-gentamycin, piperacillin tazobactam-amikacyn
