- Risk factor for death in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: are biomarkers useful to foresee the prognosis in this population of patients?(2014) MASSARO, K. S. R.; MACEDO, R.; CASTRO, B. S. de; DULLEY, F.; OLIVEIRA, M. S.; YASUDA, M. A. S.; LEVIN, A. S.; COSTA, S. F.The morbidity and mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) occur due to infectious complications and constitute the major clinical problems in HSCT recipients. The role of the use of biomarkers in post-HSCT patients is still controversial. To assess the serum values of biomarkers interleukin 6 (IL-6), procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) and risk factors for post-HSCT death. Prospective study conducted in patients submitted to HSCT at a university hospital. Biomarkers (IL-6, PCT and CRP) were assessed on the day afebrile neutropenia was detected, in the febrile event, 24 and 72 h after fever onset and 48 h or 5 days if fever persisted. Patients were compared as to the death outcome within 30 days from the HSCT. Variables with p < 0.15 were included in the multivariate analysis model (MVA) that were performed for all patients included in the study and separated for autologous and allogeneic HSCT patients. 296 patients with ages ranging between 15 and 70 years, neutropenic, submitted to HSCT, being 216 (73 %) autologous and 80 (20 %) allogeneic were assessed. One hundred and ninety (64.2 %) patients presented fever after the transplantation and infection microbiologically controlled in 78 (26.4 %). Twenty-three cases (7.8 %) evolved to death. The risk factors associated with death in the bivariate analysis were age, allogeneic transplantation, unrelated transplantation, GVHD, bloodstream infection by Gram-negative, IL-6 > 140 pg/mL and CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L and the protective ones were lymphoma and hospital outpatient support. The independent variables in the MVA associated with death were allogeneic and unrelated transplantation, blood stream infection (BSI) by Gram-negative, LDH a parts per thousand yen390 UI/L, urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/dL and CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L for HSCT transplanted patients and BSI due to Gram-negative and CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L for allogeneic HSCT, however, CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L did not remain in the model when urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/L was included. No independent risk factor was found for autologous patients. Out of the biomarkers assessed, only CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L was independently associated with death. Other risk factors found were: type of transplantation (allogeneic and unrelated), bloodstream infection by Gram-negative, LDH a parts per thousand yen390 UI/L and urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/dL. For allogeneic patients only CRP a parts per thousand yen120 mg/L and BSI due to Gram-negative were risk factors for death; however, CRP did not remain in the model when urea a parts per thousand yen25 mg/L was included.
- POLYCLONAL OUTBREAK OF BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS CAUSED BY Burkholderia cepacia COMPLEX IN HEMATOLOGY AND BONE MARROW TRANSPLANT OUTPATIENT UNITS(2014) BOSZCZOWSKI, Icaro; PRADO, Gladys Villas Boas do; DALBEN, Mirian F.; TELLES, Roberto C. P.; FREIRE, Maristela Pinheiro; GUIMARAES, Thais; OLIVEIRA, Maura S.; ROSA, Juliana F.; SOARES, Robson E.; LLACER, Pedro Enrique Dorlhiac; DULLEY, Frederico Luiz; COSTA, Silvia F.; LEVIN, Anna S.Aim: The objective was to describe an outbreak of bloodstream infections by Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) in bone marrow transplant and hematology outpatients. Methods: On February 15, 2008 a Bcc outbreak was suspected. 24 cases were identified. Demographic and clinical data were evaluated. Environment and healthcare workers' (HCW) hands were cultured. Species were determined and typed. Reinforcement of hand hygiene, central venous catheter (CVC) care, infusion therapy, and maintenance of laminar flow cabinet were undertaken. 16 different HCWs had cared for the CVCs. Multi-dose heparin and saline were prepared on counter common to both units. Findings: 14 patients had B. multivorans (one patient had also B. cenopacia), six non-multivorans Bcc and one did not belong to Bcc. Clone A B. multivorans occurred in 12 patients (from Hematology); in 10 their CVC had been used on February 11/12. Environmental and HCW cultures were negative. All patients were treated with meropenem, and ceftazidime lock-therapy. Eight patients (30%) were hospitalized. No deaths occurred. After control measures (multidose vial for single patient; CVC lock with ceftazidime; cleaning of laminar flow cabinet; hand hygiene improvement; use of cabinet to store prepared medication), no new cases occurred. Conclusions: This polyclonal outbreak may be explained by a common source containing multiple species of Bcc, maybe the laminar flow cabinet common to both units. There may have been contamination by B. multivorans (clone A) of multi-dose vials.
