Recently non-fermenting Gram negative rods (NFGNR) are playing an important role in healthcare associated infections. This observational study in a tertiary care hospital of Dhaka city conducted during 01August 2007 to 30 June 2013 found that 34.8% isolated organisms from patients with healthcare associated infections were NFGNR. Majority (74.3 %) of these infections were occurring inside critical care areas. Pseudomonas and Acinetobacter together constituted 79.6% of the total NFGNR whereas Burkholderia cephacia complex (15.4%), Stenotrophomonas (4.3%) and Chryseobacterium species (0.7%) combined constituted remaining 20.4%. Out of total NFGNRs, Pseudomonas was responsible for highest number of catheter associated urinary tract infections (55.6%), ventilator associated pneumonia (46.3%), respiratory tract infection (65.8%) and surgical site infection (70.6%). Blood stream infection was predominantly caused by Burkholderia cephacia complex (33.5%) and Acinetobacter spp. (39.5%). Other than colistin most of the organisms were resistant to antibiotics commonly recommended for NFGNR.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v7i2.19326 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2013; 07(02): 6-12

Abstract Background Febrile neutropenia’s (FN) literature has focused on acute leukemia and undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) as high risk factors for microbiological documented infection (MDI) and blood stream infection (BSI). Comprehensive studies on in pediatric Neuroblastoma high risk (NB-HR) who receive highly myelosuppressive therapy are lacking. Methods We conducted a retrospective medical record review of pediatric patients who received any oncology care at UCM Comer Children’s Hospitals.with a diagnosis of FN who had at least 1 blood culture obtained and one of the following underlying diagnoses (AML, lymphoblastic leukemia ALL), NB-HR, and other solid tumors (ST). SCT patients were excluded from study. We reviewed pathogens isolated from blood cultures (BCx) and determined whether they were pathogens or contaminants using IDSA guidelines. Comparative analyses of BSI rates between NB-HR and other underlying diagnoses were done. Results A total of 560 FN episodes (FNEs) were identified in 230 patients. FNEs occurred in NB-HR were 102 in 77 patients. Fifty-seven percent of patients developed one or more BSI or MDI during induction chemotherapy. The mean age was 11.0 (SD=6.5) years. True BSI occurred in 138 (24.6%) of FN episodes. The organisms that were most frequently isolated from were viridans group streptococci (VGS) (25%). The highest rate of BSI occurred among FNEs with AML (44/115, 37%) followed by NB-HR 26/110 (25%) Table1. Overall BSI rate in NB-HR group is higher than other solid tumors (25 vs 17%, P=0.03). In subset analysis, VGS bacteremia was highest among FNEs with AML and NB-HR compared with ALL (8.7 and 8.8 % vs 6%) P< 0.04 and P=0.02 respectively. Notably, the gram positive/ gram negative (GP/GN ratio) in NB-HR compared with ST was significantly higher (OR =2.26, CI 95% 1.5–7.8, P< 0.01), this was likely due to a higher VGS rate (8.8% vs 2%, OR=4.2, P < 0.01). Rate of GN-BSI are same in each of ALL,HR-NB and ST. Conclusion Our large Neuroblastoma cohort showed that NB-HR during induction chemotherapy are higher risk for VGS bacteremia, compared with other solid tumors. Further prospective studies are needed to investigate infection related complication in this high risk group and possible improved morbidity and mortality.
