In this decision-model analysis, the authors compared overall clinical efficacy and total cost of empiric treatment of hospitalized cellulitis patients prescribed linezolid and oxacillin or vancomycin. The authors hypothesized that, when used appropriately, empiric linezolid treatment is an effective, potentially cost-saving antibiotic compared with treatment initiated with oxacillin or vancomy...
Hospital mortality rates are elevated in critically ill patients with bloodstream infections. Given that mortality may be even higher if appropriate treatment is delayed, we sought to determine the effect of inadequate initial empiric treatment on mortality in these patients. A retrospective cohort study was conducted across 13 intensive care units in Canada. We defined inadequate initial empir...
Background. Well-designed clinical studies have shown the importance of accurate empiric antibiotic coverage for critically ill patients suffering from an infection. However, these studies may lack external validity regarding the importance of early methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia due to the underrepresentation of this population. Two major clinical trials documenti...
Background Choosing a unique empiric treatment for ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) can be challenging. We aimed to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the only referral pediatric hospital in Isfahan in order to design the optimal empiric treatment protocol. Materials and Methods: </strong...
TO THE EDITOR—With the advent of rapid diagnostic techniques for pathogen identification, clinicians are encountering increasing windows of time when they are aware of an infecting organism’s species without yet knowing its susceptibilities [1, 2]. We believe that it is worthwhile to formally recognize these empiric windows in the management of infectious diseases (Figure 1). These windows incl...
Introduction: Adalimumab is established as an effective treatment for paediatric non-infectious uveitis refractory to methotrexate. However current use of the medication empiric, according fi...
BACKGROUND Clinical diagnosis and empiric therapy have been strategies for treatment of suspected influenza in high-risk patients, but rapid tests for influenza have been introduced to help confirm cases. The aim of this study was to determine when rapid testing, empiric treatment, or no treatment is most cost-beneficial for high-risk adults with influenzalike respiratory tract illnesses. MET...
INTRODUCTION Diagnostic guidelines for Tuberculosis (TB) in HIV infected patients previously relied on microscopy where the value of initial antibiotic treatment for exclusion of pulmonary TB (PTB) was limited. New guidelines rely on the Xpert MTB Rif test (Xpert). However, the value of the antibiotic treatment remains unclear particularly in individuals who are smear-negative and Xpert-negativ...
