ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the rationality of teicoplanin for the empirical treatment of severe community-acquired pneumonia(CAP) in the aged.METHODS Totally 179 hospitalized cases of severe CAP were enrolled and divided into two groups,teicoplanin treatment group(67 cases) and non-teicoplanin treatment group(112 cases),whose clinical data and antibiotic empirical treatment were analyzed respectively,compared their PSI scores and clinical outcomes after 5 day′s therapy.RESULTS The PSI scores had no significant difference of two groups.The total treatment failure rate in teicoplanin treatment group was 23.9%,lower than that in non-teicoplanin treatment group.The treatment failure rate of teicoplanin combining the third generation cephalosporin treatment cases was 19.4%,lower than that in single use of cephalosporin(50.0%),also less than that in the cases of cephalosporin combining other antibiotics therapy,which accounted for 32.1%.CONCLUSIONS The use of teicoplanin may reduce treatment failure rate of severe CAP among aged.
