Abstract
Background
Gram-negative-resistant bacterial infections are increasing due to widespread use of antibiotics. Infections caused by Klebsiella spp. are an important part of healthcare-associated infections and cause morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine the epidemiological, clinical features, carbapenem resistance rates and risk factors of bloodstream infections of children with Klebsiella spp.
Methods
In this retropective study, medical records of 85 episodes of 75 patients caused by with Klebsiella spp. bacteriaemia who admitted to Ege University Faculty of Medicine, Pediatric Hospital in Turkey between 2014 and 2017 were evaluated. Conventional biochemical methods were performed using the automated systems of MALDİ-TOFF MS / VITEK 2 (Biomerieux, France). According to EUCAST recommendations, VITEK 2 (Biomerieux, France) automated microdilution method was used in sensitivity tests.
Results
The mean age of 85 episodes included in the study was 3.49 (±5.4) years. 58% of the patients were male and 42% were female. 18.8% of the patients were premature. The most common service was newborn service (30.6%). Neutropenia was 26% and thrombocytopenia was 55% at the time of diagnosis. Klebsiella pneumonia was 93% and Klebsiella oxytoca was 7%. Carbapenem resistance rate was found to be 30.6% in Klebsiella spp. Carbapenem resistance was found 18% in 2014, 38% in 2015, 42% in 2016 and 25% in 2017. In patients who developed carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella infection, the duration of pre-hospitalization ≥14 days (P = 0.034), the absolute neutrophil count < 100 (P = 0.048) and steroid use (P = 0.025) were statistically significant risk factors. The mean length of hospital stay was 107 (±103) days. Klebsiella spp. attributable mortality due to infection was 14% and crude mortality was 15%. No statistically significant difference was found in patients who developed resistant and susceptible infections.
Conclusion
Carbapenem resistance in Klebsiella infections was increased. Prolonged hospital stay, neutropenia and steroid use in the last 3 months were identified as significant risk factors for carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella infections.
