ABSTRACT

La Listeria continúa siendo una posible etiología de meningitis bacteriana en nuestro medio, siendo causa más frecuente en neonatos, ancianos o pacientes inmunodeprimidos. Debido a la gravedad y la mortalidad asociada, resulta de gran interés disponer de nuevas herramientas que permitan un manejo clínico y farmacológico más eficaz.Presentamos un caso de meningitis por Listeria que ingresa en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos. Dada la escasa penetración de la gentamicina en el sistema nervioso central y siendo ésta uno de los tratamientos de elección en las guías clínicas de referencia, se decide la administración de gentamicina intraventricular llevando a cabo una monitorización de concentraciones de gentamicina en líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR).Debido a la alta variabilidad farmacocinética del paciente crítico, la monitorización de concentraciones en LCR de gentamicina tras su administración intraventricular puede resultar de gran utilidad para asegurar el alcance de concentraciones de fármaco que permitan una mayor eficacia del tratamiento.

Listeria is currently a possible etiology of bacterial meningitis in our society, being one more frequent cause in neonates, elderly or immunosuppressed patients. Due to the severity and mortality associated, it is therefore very useful to have new tools that allow a more effective clinical and pharmacological management.We present a case of Listeria meningitis admitted to the Intensive Care Unit. Given the low penetration of gentamicin into the central nervous system and being one of the treatments of choice in the clinical reference guidelines, the administration of intraventricular gentamicin was decided by monitoring the concentrations of gentamicin in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).Due to the high pharmacokinetic variability of the critically ill patient, monitoring CSF concentrations of gentamicin after intraventricular administration can be very useful to ensure the achievement of drug concentrations that allow greater treatment efficacy.

ABSTRACT

Presentamos el caso de una probable neurotoxicidad inducida por cefepima en una mujer pluripatológica de 82 años. La paciente ingresa en nuestro hospital por un aflojamiento séptico de prótesis de rodilla requiriendo un recambio de la misma. Treinta días después, la paciente es re-intervenida por presentar mala evolución clínica y se le inicia antibioticoterapia empírica con cefepima 2g cada 12 horas. A los tres días, se observa un cuadro de desorientación, agitación, afasia mixta, hemiplejia y presencia de movimientos tónico-clónicos, juntamente con un deterioro de la función renal. Se sospecha de neurotoxicidad inducida por cefepima y seretira con recuperación total a las 72 horas


We report a case of probable cefepime induced neurotoxicity in a 82 years old woman. She was admitted to the hospital because of septic slackening of the knee prosthesis which was correctly replaced. After 30 days of hospitalization, the patient was operated on again due to poor clinical outcome and empiric antibiotic treatment with cefepime 2g every 12 hours was started. Three days later, the patient developed confusion, agitation, showing mixed aphasia, hemiplegia and myoclonic jerks in the limbs together with deterioration in renal function. Cefepime-induced neurotoxicity was suspected and it was discontinued. In our case, the patient had a full recovery three days later

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Evaluar las desviaciones de dosificación de 3 antibióticos betalactámicos eliminados por vía renal (meropenem, piperacili na/tazobactam y cefepima) mediante la comparación de 2 fórmulas de predicción de función renal, Cockroft-Gault (CG) y Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), con el aclaramiento de creatinina en orina de 24h (ClCr24h) como método de referencia. Método: Las 125 muestras de 61 pacientes (cada una con sus valores de CG, MDRD y ClCr24h) de una unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) se clasificaron en los 5 estadios definidos por la National Kidney Foundation (NKF) en función del ClCr24h. Se estudiaron las discrepancias de dosificación de cada antibiótico según CG o MDRD en referencia al ClCr24h por acuerdo porcentual e índice kappa ponderado. En cada estadio de NKF se cuantificaron las diferencias de dosificación diaria (¿ = DosisCG-DosisClCr24h; ¿ = Dosis MDRD DosisClCr24h) y el porcentaje de muestras con discrepancias de dosificación por CG y MDRD en referencia al ClCr24h. Resultados: En ningún caso se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambas fórmulas con respecto al ClCr24h, obteniendo grados de concordancia buenos. Los porcentajes de desviaciones oscilaron del 15,2% al 28% y ocurrieron mayoritariamente por infradosificación en los estadios 1 y 2, y por sobredosificación en los estadios 4 y 5. Conclusiones: Las dos predicciones de función renal en pacientes de la UCI pueden ser empleadas indistintamente para la dosificación de betalactámicos, aunque la de CG es la más sencilla (AU)


The impact of different renal function measuring methods on the dosages of meropenem, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefepime in critically ill patients Objective: Assesment of dosage deviations of three â-lactam antibiotics eliminated through the kidneys (meropenem, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefepime) by comparison of two prediction formulae, Cockroft-Gault (CG) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD)with 24 h urinary creatinine clearance (CrCl24h), as a reference method. Method: 125 samples of 61 critically ill patients (each one with CG,MDRD y CrCl24hvalues) were classified in one of the five stages of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) according to CrCl24h. Dosage discrepancies for each antibiotic based on CG y MDRD were studied in reference to CrCl24hby percentage agreement and weighted kappa. At each of the NKF stages, daily dosage differences (∆=DosisCG-DosisCrCl24h;∆=DosisMDRD-DosisCrCl24h) and percentage of samples with dosage discrepancies by CG and MDRD in reference to CrCl24h were calculated. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two prediction formulae in respect to CrCl24h, achieving good degrees of concordance. Deviation percentages fluctuated between15.2% and 28% and occurred mainly by under dosing on stages 1and 2 and by overdosing on stages 4 and 5.Conclusions: The two renal function prediction formulae can be indistinctly used to optimize the â-lactam antibiotics dose regimen, CGbeing the easiest one (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Assesment of dosage deviations of three ss-lactam antibiotics eliminated through the kidneys (meropenem, piperacillin/tazobactam and cefepime) by comparison of two prediction formulae, Cockroft-Gault (CG) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) with 24 h urinary creatinine clearance (CrCl(24h)), as a reference method. METHOD: 125 samples of 61 critically ill patients (each one with CG, MDRD y CrCl(24h) values) were classified in one of the five stages of the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) according to CrCl(24h). Dosage discrepancies for each antibiotic based on CG y MDRD were studied in reference to CrCl(24h) by percentage agreement and weighted kappa. At each of the NKF stages, daily dosage differences (Delta=DosisCG-DosisCrCl(24h); Delta=DosisMDRD-DosisCrCl(24h)) and percentage of samples with dosage discrepancies by CG and MDRD in reference to CrCl(24h) were calculated. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the two prediction formulae in respect to CrCl(24h), achieving good degrees of concordance. Deviation percentages fluctuated between 15.2% and 28% and occurred mainly by underdosing on stages 1 and 2 and by overdosing on stages 4 and 5. CONCLUSIONS: The two renal function prediction formulae can be indistinctly used to optimize the ss-lactam antibiotics dose regimen, CG being the easiest one.
