Healthcare-associated infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients: risk factors and impact on outcome

Abstract: BSI was the most frequent HAI, and there was a predominance of Gram-negative microorganisms. Independent risk factors associated with HAI were duration of neutropenia and fever, and the risk factors for a poor outcome were older age, type of transplant (allogeneic), the presence of a microbiologically documented infection, invasive aspergillosis, and acute leukemia. Further prospective studies with larger numbers of patients may confirm the role of these risk factors for a poor clinical outcome and death in th… Show more

“…Most were excluded because of the occurrence of fever or infection before the infusion of haematopoietic stem cells. This is in agreement with the literature data demonstrating increased risk for bacterial infections in this population [5] [10]. These patients have become ineligible for the use of bacterial prophylaxis because the same infectious episode occurred before the transplantation itself, and showed a high mortality rate.…”

“…Desta forma, todos os pacientes que apresentem febre e neutropenia devem ser tratados prontamente e de forma abrangente (Freifeld et al, 2011). Este tratamento agressivo reduz a mortalidade de 50% a 80% para 10% a 40% (Love et al, 1980;Mendes et al, 2012a).…”

“…A identificação do agente etiológico no sangue, no começo da febre, é possível em somente 20%-40% dos casos de neutropenia (von Eiff et al, 1985;Rintala, 1994;Engervall et al, 1995;Mendes et al,2012a). Logo, a maioria dos casos de neutropenia febril permanece sem definição quanto ao agente infeccioso causal.…”
