RESUMO

Intra-Abdominal Candidiasis (IAC) is frequent and associated with high mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Antifungal treatments may be overused due to a lack of diagnostic tools to rule out IAC. Serum 1,3-Beta-D-Glucan (BDG) concentrations are used to diagnose Candida infections, its concentration in peritoneal fluid (PF) may help to confirm or invalidate the diagnosis of IAC. We performed a non-interventional, prospective, multicenter study, at the Hospices Civils de Lyon, France, in seven ICU located in three different hospitals from December 2017 to June 2018. IAC was defined as the isolation of Candida in a sample collected from the intra-abdominal cavity under sterile conditions in patients displaying clinical evidence of intra-abdominal infection. Among the 113 included patients, 135 PF samples corresponding to 135 intra-abdominal infection episodes were collected and BDG concentrations were assessed. IAC accounted for 28 (20.7%) of the intra-abdominal infections. Antifungals were administered empirically to 70 (61.9%) patients; among them, 23 (32.9%) had an IAC. The median [IQR] BDG value was significantly higher in IAC (8100 [3000;15000] pg/mL) than in non-IAC samples (1961 [332;10650] pg/mL). BDG concentrations were higher in PF with Fecaloid aspect and in case of positive bacterial culture. For a BDG threshold of 125 pg/mL, the negative predictive value to assess IAC was 100%. In conclusion, low BDG PF concentrations could be used to rule out IAC. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03469401.


Intra-Abdominal Candidiasis (IAC) is associated with a high mortality in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. 1,3-Beta-D-Glucan (BDG), a component of Candida cell wall, was prospectively measured in peritoneal fluid from ICU patients Low peritoneal BDG concentrations may be used to rule out IAC.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The impact of immunosuppression on intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired colonization and infection related to multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria (ICU-MDR-col and ICU-MDR-inf, respectively) is unknown. METHODS: We carried out an observational prospective cohort study in 8 ICUs in France (all with single-bed rooms and similar organizational characteristics). All consecutive patients with an ICU stay > 48 h were included, regardless of immune status, and followed for 28 days. Patients underwent systematic screening for colonization with MDR bacteria upon admission and every week subsequently. Immunosuppression was defined as active cancer or hematologic malignancy, neutropenia, solid-organ transplant, use of steroids or immunosuppressive drugs, human immunodeficiency virus infection and genetic. The primary endpoint was the incidence rate of a composite outcome including ICU-MDR-col and/or ICU-MDR-inf. RESULTS: 750 patients (65.9% males, median age 65 years) were included, among whom 264 (35.2%) were immunocompromised. Reasons for ICU admission, severity scores and exposure to invasive devices and antibiotics during ICU stay were comparable between groups. After adjustment for center and pre-specified baseline confounders, immunocompromised patients had a lower incidence rate of ICU-MDR-col and/or ICU-MDR-inf (adjusted incidence ratio 0.68, 95% CI 0.52-0.91). When considered separately, the difference was significant for ICU-MDR-col, but not for ICU-MDR-inf. The distribution of MDR bacteria was comparable between groups, with a majority of Enterobacteriacae resistant to third-generation cephalosporins (~ 74%). CONCLUSION: Immunocompromised patients had a significantly lower incidence rate of a composite outcome including ICU-MDR-col and/or ICU-MDR-inf. This finding points to the role of contact precautions and isolation measures, and could have important implications on antibiotic stewardship in this population.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Patients presenting the most severe form of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), have a prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay and are exposed to broad-spectrum antibiotics, but the impact of COVID-19 on antimicrobial resistance is unknown. METHODS: Observational prospective before-after study in 7 ICUs in France. All consecutive patients with an ICU stay > 48 h and a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were included prospectively and followed for 28 days. Patients underwent systematic screening for colonization with multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria upon admission and every week subsequently. COVID-19 patients were compared to a recent prospective cohort of control patients from the same ICUs. The primary objective was to investigate the association of COVID-19 with the cumulative incidence of a composite outcome including ICU-acquired colonization and/or infection related to MDR bacteria (ICU-MDR-col and ICU-MDR-inf, respectively). RESULTS: From February 27th, 2020 to June 2nd, 2021, 367 COVID-19 patients were included, and compared to 680 controls. After adjustment for prespecified baseline confounders, the cumulative incidence of ICU-MDR-col and/or ICU-MDR-inf was not significantly different between groups (adjusted sub-hazard ratio [sHR] 1.39, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.91-2.09). When considering both outcomes separately, COVID-19 patients had a higher incidence of ICU-MDR-inf than controls (adjusted sHR 2.50, 95% CI 1.90-3.28), but the incidence of ICU-MDR-col was not significantly different between groups (adjusted sHR 1.27, 95% CI 0.85-1.88). CONCLUSION: COVID-19 patients had an increased incidence of ICU-MDR-inf compared to controls, but the difference was not significant when considering a composite outcome including ICU-MDR-col and/or ICU-MDR-inf.
