Acute Leukemia Patients with Complication of Infection:Their Clinical Features / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical features of acute leukemia(AL) patients with complication of infection. METHODS A retrospective analysis of prevalence of infection occurring in 123 AL patients,their bacterial spectrum,and the effect of G-CSF on the infection were done. RESULTS The prevalence of infection in AL patients was 94.3%,among which 49.2% were infected with Gram-positive organisms,42.4% with Gram-negative bacilli and 8.4% with fungi.Blood culture occurred mostly with Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas infection.Patient′s neutropenia was significantly related to the infection.The patients with neutrophil count less than 0.2?10~9/L had more frequently suffered severe infection with long-lasting time,and had more than two sites of infection.Age,hemoglobin level,prophylactic intestinal usage of antibiotics could not reduce patient′s infection.The total mortality of AL patients with infection was 6%.Pulmonary infection and septicemia increased mortality,but G-CSF therapy reduced it. CONCLUSIONS AL patients are at high risk of infection which is significantly associated with severe neutropenia.G-CSF therapy exerts an assistant role to antibiotics in controlling the infection.
