Analysis of clinical characteristics and anti-infection treatment of 89 cases with pyogenic liver abscess / 药学实践与服务

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics of pyogenic liver abscess（PLA）and explore the rationality and the duration of antibacterial treatment. Methods The clinical data of patients diagnosed as pyogenic liver abscess in our hospital from January 1，2020 to December 31，2022 were analyzed to explore their clinical characteristics. The rationality of antibacterial treatment was evaluated by setting evaluation criteria. The duration of antibacterial use in different treatment outcomes was counted. Results A total of 89 patients were included in the analysis. The average age was （62.0±15.6） years old, with the male accounting for 61.80%. Diabetes for 53.9% was the most common complication. Among 59 patients （66.3%）with positive culture of pos or blood, 51 cases （57.3%） were Klebsiella Pneumoniaes. Among the empirical and target treatment, 45 cases （50.6%） and 17 cases （28.8%）of antibacterial regimens were evaluated as unreasonable, respectively. Recovery treatment time was （17.0±7.6）d，and actual treatment time was （21.1±7.3） d. Conclusion Diabetes was the most common high-risk factor of PLA, and Klebsiella Pneumoniae was the main pathogenic bacteria. It is necessary to strengthen the management of antibacterial drugs, explore the appropriate duration of antibacterial treatment, and reduce the overuse of antibacterial drugs.
