Dalbavancin in catheter-related bloodstream infections: a pilot study.
Background: Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) represent a frequent complication of vascular catheterization, with high morbidity, mortality, and associated costs. Most infections are caused by Gram-positive bacteria; thus dalbavancin, a new long-acting lipoglicopeptide, may have a role in early patient discharge strategies optimizing treatment and reducing overall costs.
Methods: In this small pilot feasibility study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of a "single step" treatment strategy combining dalbavancin administration (1500 mg IV single dose), catheter removal, and early discharge in adult patients admitted to medical wards in a three-year period.
Results: We enrolled sixteen patients with confirmed Gram-positive CRBSI, with a mean age of 68 years and relevant comorbidities (median Charlson Comorbidity index=7). The most frequent causative agents were staphylococci, with 25% of methicillin-resistant strains, and the majority of infected devices were short term central venous catheter (CVC) and peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Ten out of sixteen patients had been treated empirically before dalbavancin administration. The mean time from dalbavancin administration to discharge was 2 days; none of the patients had adverse drug-related reactions; at 30- and 90-day follow-up, no patients have been readmitted to the hospital due to bacteraemia recurrence.
Conclusions: Our results indicate that single-dose dalbavancin is highly effective, well-tolerated, and cost-saving for Gram-positive CRBSI.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes original papers, in Italian or in English, on topics concerning aetiopathogenesis, prevention, epidemiology, diagnosis, clinical features and therapy of infections, whose acceptance is subject to the referee’s assessment. The Journal is of interest not only to infectious disease specialists, microbiologists and pharmacologists, but also to internal medicine specialists, paediatricians, pneumologists, and to surgeons as well. The Editorial Board includes experts in each of the above mentioned fields.
