Dalbavancin real-life utilization among diabetic patients suffering from infections in Italy and Spain: The DALBADIA retrospective cohort study.

OBJECTIVES: To retrospectively describe the patterns of use of dalbavancin for treating infections in diabetic patients in Italian and Spanish standard clinical practice. METHODS: DALBADIA [NCT04959799] was a multicentre, observational, retrospective cohort study, conducted in Italy and Spain. The study enrolled 97 adults with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus, treated with dalbavancin as per standard clinical practice for a Gram-positive bacterial infection or the Gram-positive component of a mixed infection. RESULTS: Dalbavancin was used to treat cellulitis (18/92 patients, 19.6%), followed by prosthetic joint infection (14 patients, 15.2%), endocarditis (13 patients, 14.1%), and primary bacteraemia (10 patients, 10.9%); 78/92 (84.8%) patients had Gram-positive infections only, and 14 (15.2%) had mixed infections. The most frequently isolated microorganisms were Staphylococcus aureus in 43 (55.8% of the patients with microbial isolation), 25.6% of which methicillin-resistant; Staphylococcus epidermidis in 13 (16.9%), 53.8% of which methicillin-resistant; Enterococcus faecalis in 11 (14.3%). The main reason for the dalbavancin choice was the intent to simplify the antibiotic regimen (81.5% of cases). A multidisciplinary team participated in the treatment choice process for 53 (57.6%) patients. Dalbavancin was given as first-line antibiotic in 34 (37.0%) patients and administered as one infusion in 32 (34.8%), and as two infusions in 39 (42.4%). In total, 57/62 (91.9%) eligible patients with available assessment were judged clinically cured or improved at the end of observation. CONCLUSION: In clinical practice, dalbavancin was used in diabetic patients to treat ABSSSIs and other difficult-to-treat infections with a favourable safety profile and a high rate of positive clinical responses.

Objetivo Corynebacterium striatum (C. striatum) es un microorganismo emergente en la infección de pie diabético poco estudiado. El objetivo es evaluar los factores de riesgo (FR) relacionados con osteomielitis por C. striatum en paciente con pie diabético. Métodos Estudio casos-controles en la Unidad de Pie Diabético entre 2015 y 2021. Un número de 44 pacientes con osteomielitis por C. striatum (casos) y 44 con osteomielitis por microorganismo distinto (controles) fueron incluidos. Resultados Enfermedad arterial periférica (odds ratio [OR]: 2,8, p = 0,037), fibrilación auricular (OR: 3,7, p = 0,034), pie diabético isquémico (OR: 3,3, p = 0,020) y antibioterapia previa prolongada más de 14 días (OR: 3,4, p = 0,012) fueron FR para la osteomielitis por C. striatum. En el análisis multivariado la antibioterapia más de 14 días fue el único FR independiente (OR: 3,46; p = 0,017) para osteomielitis por C. striatum. Conclusiones La antibioterapia previa recibida durante más de 14 días es un FR independiente y estadísticamente significativo de osteomielitis por C. striatum en pacientes con pie diabético (AU)

Objective Corynebacterium striatum (CS) is an emerging micro-organism in diabetic foot infection for which there are currently few studies. The objective was to analyze the risk factors (RF) related to CS osteomyelitis in patients with diabetic foot. Methods A case–control study was conducted in the Diabetic Foot Unit between 2015 and 2021. Forty-four patients with osteomyelitis due to CS (cases) and 44 patients with osteomyelitis due a different micro-organism (controls) were included. Results Peripheral artery disease (OR: 2.8, p = 0.037), atrial fibrillation (OR: 3.7, p = 0.034), ischemic diabetic foot (OR: 3.3, p = 0.020) and previous prolonged antibiotic therapy more than 14 days (OR: 3.4, p = 0.012) were identified as RF for osteomyelitis due to CS. When performing the multivariate analysis antibiotic therapy >14 days was independent RF (OR: 3.46; p = 0.017). Conclusions Previous antibiotic therapy received more than 14 days is an independent and statistically significant RF for CS osteomyelitis in patients with diabetic foot (AU)

Respiratory syncytial virus infection in adults: Differences with influenza.

INTRODUCTION: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes an acute respiratory illness similar to influenza, although there are few data comparing both of them in adults. The existence of clinical differences between these two infections could have implications for their management. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective observational cohort study including 63 adults with positive PCR for RSV and 221 for influenza during winter 2018-2019. Epidemiological, clinical characteristics and outcomes were contrasted between both groups. RESULTS: Compared to influenza, RSV-positive patients presented a higher association with active neoplasia (OR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.2-6.9), dependence for basic activities of daily living (OR=3.4; 95% CI: 1.4-8.2) and immunosuppression due to chronic glucocorticoid administration (OR=7.6; 95% CI: 1.6-36.1). At diagnosis, fever was less common (OR=0.3; 95% CI: 0.2-0.7), and C-reactive protein level ≥100mg/l was more frequent (OR=2.1; 95% CI: 1.0-4.5). They developed bacterial co-infection by Staphylococcus aureus in a higher proportion (OR=8.3; 95% CI: 1.5-46.9) and presented a greater need for admission to the intensive care unit (OR=5.4; 95% CI: 1.4-19.2). CONCLUSION: RSV is an important cause of respiratory illness in adults during the influenza season. It especially affects vulnerable patients with chronic underlying diseases, and has a higher morbidity than influenza. For all these reasons, specific detection, prevention and treatment of RSV is necessary in order to reduce the consumption of health care resources due to RSV disease in adults.

Infección por virus respiratorio sincitial en adultos: diferencias con la gripe / Respiratory syncytial virus infection in adults: Differences with influenza

Introducción: El virus respiratorio sincitial (VRS) produce una enfermedad respiratoria aguda parecida a la gripe, aunque en adultos existen pocos datos que las comparen. La existencia de diferencias clínicas entre ambas infecciones podría conllevar implicaciones en su manejo. Materiales y métodos: Estudio observacional de cohortes retrospectivo incluyendo 63 adultos con PCR positiva para VRS y 221 para gripe durante el invierno 2018-2019. Se contrastaron las características epidemiológicas, clínicas y desenlaces entre ambos grupos. Resultados: En comparación con la gripe los pacientes VRS positivos asociaron mayor relación con neoplasia activa (OR=2,9; IC 95%: 1,2-6,9), dependencia para las actividades básicas de la vida diaria (OR=3,4; IC 95%: 1,4-8,2) e inmunosupresión por administración crónica de glucocorticoides (OR=7,6; IC 95%: 1,6-36,1). Al diagnóstico era menos común la presencia de fiebre (OR=0,3; IC 95%: 0,2-0,7) y más frecuente un nivel de proteína C reactiva≥100mg/l (OR=2,1; IC 95%: 1,0-4,5). Desarrollaron coinfección bacteriana por Staphylococcus aureus en mayor proporción (OR=8,3; IC 95%: 1,5-46,9) y presentaron una mayor necesidad de ingreso en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (OR=5,4; IC 95%: 1,4-19,2). Conclusión: El VRS es una causa importante de enfermedad respiratoria en adultos durante la época de gripe. Afecta especialmente a pacientes vulnerables con enfermedades crónicas de base, y presenta una morbilidad clínica superior a la gripe. Por todo ello es necesaria la detección, prevención y tratamiento específicos del VRS con el objetivo de reducir el consumo de recursos sanitarios que supone la enfermedad por VRS en adultos.(AU)

Safety and Tolerability of More than Six Days of Tedizolid Treatment.

Tedizolid has demonstrated its efficacy and safety in clinical trials; however, data concerning its tolerability in long-term treatments are scarce. The aim of the study was to assess the indications and to describe the long-term safety profile of tedizolid. A multicentric retrospective study of patients who received tedizolid for more than 6 days was conducted. Adverse events (AEs) were identified from patients' medical records and laboratory data. The World Health Organization causality categories were used to discern AEs that were probably associated with tedizolid. Eighty-one patients, treated with tedizolid 200 mg once daily for a median (interquartile range [IQR]) duration of 28 (14 to 59) days, were included; 36 (44.4%) had previously received linezolid. The most common reasons for selecting tedizolid were to avoid linezolid potential toxicities or interactions (53.1%) or due to previous linezolid-related toxicities (27.2%). The most common indications were off-label, including prosthetic joint infections, osteomyelitis, and respiratory infections (77.8%). Overall, 9/81 patients (11.1%) experienced a probably associated AE. Two patients (2.5%) developed gastrointestinal disorders, 1 (1.2%) developed anemia, and 6 developed thrombocytopenia (7.4%) after a median (IQR) duration of treatment of 26.5 (17 to 58.5) days. Four (5%) patients discontinued tedizolid due to AEs. Among 23 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF), the rate of myelotoxicity was 17.4%, and only 8.7% had to stop tedizolid; 20 out of 22 with previous linezolid-associated toxicity had no AE. Long-term tedizolid treatments had good tolerance with rates of gastrointestinal AE and hematological toxicity lower than those reported with linezolid, particularly in patients with CRF and in those with a history of linezolid-associated toxicity.
