- W1984884920 abstract "69 febrile granulocytopenic episodes without an initial focus of infection were assessed for empiric treatment either with high-dose amikacin plus piperacillin or ceftazidime. 90% of patients in each group survived the granulocytopenic episode; 15 (44 ± 17%) episodes treated with the combination and 23 (66 ± 16%) given ceftazidime responded without any modification of initial therapy and half defervesced within 72 h. Persistent fever was the most frequent reason for altering treatment which was done empirically in 90% of cases, but two-thirds of patients required further treatment modification. An infectious focus mainly involving the lung developed during granulocytopenia in 21 patients (30%), of which 17 occurred during antimicrobial therapy. Only 1 infection was shown to be due to bacteria, while 7 were due to fungi. Amikacin levels were similar to those expected following a normal dose (mean peak of 34.7 and mean trough of 12.6 mg/1). Therapy with the combination resulted in a higher serum creatinine (p<0.001) and a lower potassium level (p<0.001) in comparison with monotherapy. Potassium supplementation was required in 45 ± 17% of patients given the combination compared with only 4 ± 7% of those treated with ceftazidime. While both regimens appeared to be equally effective as initial therapy, the need for modification was high in both patient groups. Monotherapy being both simpler to administer and less toxic seems therefore to be the logical choice although the period of empiric therapy must be fully exploited in order to improve diagnosis and therefore antimicrobial management." @default.
