Abstract

Background

Ceftazidime-Avibactam (CAZ-AVI) plays a key role in the treatment of Multidrug Resistant Gram-Negative Bacilli (MDR-GNB) infections. In pediatrics, CAZ-AVI is clinically approved for treatment of urinary tract or intra-abdominal infection. However, there is limited data available about its use in children with cancer who have complicated infections caused by MDR-GNB.

Objective

This study aims to describe our experience in using CAZ-AVI for the treatment of MDR GNB infections in children with cancer.

Methods

This retrospective observational study was conducted at the Pediatric Oncology Institute (IOP/GRAACC/UNIFESP), including pediatric oncologic patients who received CAZ-AVI for the treatment of infections caused by GNB.

Results

From Jan/2021 to Jun/2022, 11 patients with 13 episodes were included in the analysis. Among them, 45 % were female, with a median age of 7 years. Three patients had Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), three had Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), two had Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). Additionally, there was one case each of medulloblastoma, fibrosarcoma, and craniopharyngioma. All patients presented significant risk factors for MDR-GNB, such as neutropenia and two were submitted to Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT). The infection episodes included six Bloodstream Infections (BSI), two Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), two tracheobronchitis cases, along with one case each of necrotizing pneumonia, ventriculitis, and endocarditis. The identified pathogens included Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter cloacae, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. The primary reason for prescribing CAZ-AVI was either Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacteria (MDR-GNB) infection or clinical worsening after initial therapy. Combination therapy was prescribed in eight episodes with a median prescription length of nine days. Microbiological sterilization was achieved in 92 % of episodes, and the 30-day survival rate was 84 %. Notably, no deaths were associated with treatment failure, and no adverse events associated with CAZ-AVI use were observed.

Conclusion

CAZ-AVI could be used for treating GNB infections in oncologic pediatric patients.
