Bacteremia Due to Acinetobacter baumannii: Epidemiology, Clinical Findings, and Prognostic Features
Abstract
The number of nosocomial infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii has increased in recent years. During a 12-month study, there were 1.8 episodes of A. Baumannii bacteremia per 1,000 adults admitted to a hospital in Seville, Spain. Seventy-nine patients were included in the study. A. baumannii bacteremia occurred after a mean (+/- SD) hospitalization of 18 +/- 20 days. In all cases the infections were acquired nosocomially; 71% wee acquired in intensive care units. Ampicillin/ sulbactam was found to be the most active agent against A. baumannii. The common source of the bacteremia was the respiratory tract (32 cases [71%]). Twenty patients (25%) had septic shock, and 24 (30%) had disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Treatment with imipenem or ampicillin/sulbactam was most effective (cure rates, 87.5% and 83%, respectively). The deaths of 27 patients (34%) were related to A baumannii bacteremia. The presence of DIC (odds ratio [OR] = 116.4; P < .0001) and inappropriate antimicrobial treatment (OR = 15.2; P < .01) were independently associated with mortality. We conclude that most A. baumannii isolates are multiresistant and that nosocomial A. baumannii bacteremia may cause severe clinical disease that is associated with a high mortality.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
