Abstract

International audience; Introduction: We aimed to describe patients with coexisting infective endocarditis (IE) and bacterial meningitis (BM).Methods: We merged two large prospective cohorts, an IE cohort and a BM cohort, with only cases of definite IE and community-acquired meningitis. We compared patients who had IE and BM concurrently to patients with IE only and BM only.Results: Among the 1030 included patients, we identified 42 patients with IE-BM (4.1%). Baseline characteristics of patients with IE-BM were mostly similar to those of patients with IE, but meningitis was the predominant presentation at admission (39/42, 92.3%). Causative pathogens were predominantly Streptococcus pneumoniae (18/42, 42.9%) and Staphylococcus aureus (14/42, 33.3%). All pneumococcal IE were associated with BM (18/18). BM due to oral and group D streptococci, Streptococcus agalactiae, and S. aureus were frequently associated with IE (14/30, 46.7%). Three-month mortality was 28.6% in patients with IE-BM, 20.5% in patients with IE, and 16.6% in patients with BM.Conclusions: Patients with pneumococcal IE or altered mental status during IE must be investigated for BM. Patients with S. aureus, oral and group D streptococcal or enterococcal BM, or unfavorable outcome in pneumococcal meningitis would benefit from an echocardiography. Patients with the dual infection have the worst prognosis. Their identification is mandatory to initiate appropriate treatment.

Abstract

Background Aspecific scoring systems are used to predict the risk of death postsurgery in patients with infective endocarditis ( IE ). The purpose of the present study was both to analyze the risk factors for in‐hospital death, which complicates surgery for IE , and to create a mortality risk score based on the results of this analysis. Methods and Results Outcomes of 361 consecutive patients (mean age, 59.1±15.4 years) who had undergone surgery for IE in 8 European centers of cardiac surgery were recorded prospectively, and a risk factor analysis (multivariable logistic regression) for in‐hospital death was performed. The discriminatory power of a new predictive scoring system was assessed with the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Score validation procedures were carried out. Fifty‐six (15.5%) patients died postsurgery. BMI >27 kg/m 2 (odds ratio [ OR ], 1.79; P =0.049), estimated glomerular filtration rate OR , 3.52; P IV ( OR , 2.11; P =0.024), systolic pulmonary artery pressure >55 mm Hg ( OR , 1.78; P =0.032), and critical state ( OR , 2.37; P =0.017) were independent predictors of in‐hospital death. A scoring system was devised to predict in‐hospital death postsurgery for IE (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.780; 95% CI, 0.734–0.822). The score performed better than 5 of 6 scoring systems for in‐hospital death after cardiac surgery that were considered. Conclusions A simple scoring system based on risk factors for in‐hospital death was specifically created to predict mortality risk postsurgery in patients with IE .

International audience; Introduction. - Methods used for the assessment of professional practices must be dependable and reproducible. The aim of this study was to assess a method used in our hospital to assess antibiotic therapy for acute community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Method. - In this study, a pharmacist and two infectious disease specialists retrospectively and independently evaluated the compliance to local antibiotic guidelines for 124 patients. The assessment tool was a Medical Appropriateness Index (MAI) (nine items). The kappa agreement index (K) among experts was calculated. Results. - The agreement among experts was poor for the initial antibiotic treatment (K = 0.16) and route of administration (K = 0.14), low for the duration of treatment (K = 0.34), and null for the dose and adjustment to 72 hours. Conclusion. - Differences between experts can be explained by the complexity of medical records, the number of items assessed, the complexity of the MAI, but also by the specialization and experience of experts. Thus, the assessment of CAP antibiotic therapy requires the use of appropriate methods targeting reliable criteria

Abstract

There is evidence for the interest of F-fluoro-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (F-FDG-PET/CT) in fever of unknown origin (FUO) clinical investigation. However, little and conflicting data exist about its place in the investigation procedure. The aim of this work was to evaluate the clinical value of F-FDG-PET/CT in patients with FUO and identify patients who need early F-FDG-PET/CT rather than a last-resort procedure. We performed a 2-year retrospective cohort study at the Nîmes University Hospital, France. A total of 79 patients (36 men, 43 women, mean age 54.0 ± 16.2 years) with FUO underwent F-FDG-PET/CT. A final diagnosis was established in 61 (77.2 %) cases. Aetiologies of FUO were determined using F-FDG-PET/CT findings in 45 (73.8 % of patients with diagnosis) cases. The sensibility and specificity value were 98 % and 87 %, respectively. The presence of adenopathy, low haemoglobin and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) were predictors of high-yield F-FDG-PET/CT. F-FDG-PET/CT may help to detect most causes of FUO. The predictors of high-yield F-FDG-PET/CT found in this study can help identify patients likely to benefit from specific and early imaging techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Abstract: Objective: Retrospective study of patients presenting Aeromonas spp. infections admitted to Nîmes hospital from January 1997 to December 2004. Patients and method: Aeromonas spp. infections were collected from the database of the bacteriology department. The Aeromonas species, suceptibility phenotype, epidemiological data, site and type (nosocomial or not) of infection, and evolution were collected from medical files. Results: Thirty infections were notified corresponding to 22 male and eight female of 50.6 years old (mean) and a mean stay duration of 31 days. Skin and soft tissues (50%), digestive tract (26.7%), bones and articulations (10%), blood stream (6.7%), urinary tract (3.3%) and lymph nodes (3.3%) were the sites of infection. Ten infections were nosocomial, four were associated with medical leeches. All strains were resistants to amoxicillin and amoxicillin– clavulanic acid, whereas resistance rate to other β-lactams was under 10% and all were suceptible to fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. All patients received antibiotic treatment: 31% a single molecule, 69% an association and 62% needed a second line treatment. Strain was suceptible to the antibiotic in 78.5% of cases. Only one death occured not directly linked to Aeromonas infection. Discussion: Most of Aeromonas spp. infection sites were cutaneous and digestive. Nosocomial infections associated with medical leeches are not so uncommon and strict conditions of storage and administration are necessary. According to the susceptibility phenotype of our strains which is similar to literature data, a third generation cephalosporin or a fluoroquinolone should be used evenly associated with an aminoglycoside.

Abstract

International audience; Objectives - Time to blood culture positivity (TTP), a routinely available parameter in automated blood culture systems, may be a proxy for infectious burden in patients with bloodstream infections. We aimed to study the association between TTP and infective endocarditis (IE), or death, in patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia. Methods - VIRSTA is a multicenter prospective cohort study that included all adult patients with S. aureus bacteraemia in eight university hospitals in France (2009-2011). We analyzed data from four centers which collected data on TTP. Regression models were used to study the association between TTP and definite IE (Duke-Li criteria), and 30 day-mortality. Results - We included 587 patients with S. aureus bacteraemia: mean age was 65.3±16.3 years, 420/587 patients (71.6%) were male, 121/587 (20.6%) died, and 42/587 (7.2%) had definite IE. Median TTP of first positive blood culture was 13.7 h (interquartile range, 9.9-18). On multivariate analysis, 30-day mortality was associated with TTP≤13.7 h (74/295 (25.1%) vs 47/292 (16.1%), P=0.02), as well as old age, McCabe score, methicillin resistance, stroke, pneumonia, and C-Reactive Protein. TTP was also independently associated with IE, but with a U-shape curve: IE was more common in the first (TTP18 h, 8/146, 5.5%) quartiles of TTP, P=0.002. Conclusions - TTP provides reliable information in patients with S. aureus bacteraemia, on the risk of IE, and prognosis, with short TTP being an independent predictor of death. This data readily available at no cost may be used to identify patients who require specific attention.

Abstract

Background: Pneumonia due to Pneumocystis jirovecii (PCP) is a frequent infection in HIV-positive and also in immunocompromised HIV-negative patients. PCR analysis of pulmonary samples has become an essential element in PCP laboratory diagnosis. Currently, many commercially PCR-based tests are available for P jirovecii detection and need to be evaluated., Objectives: We evaluated the performance of the RealStar ® P jirovecii PCR kit for PCP diagnosis., Methods: We performed the RealStar ® P jirovecii PCR and an in-house PCR in 219 pulmonary samples. We then assessed the performance of the RealStar ® P jirovecii PCR kit by classifying patients in proven, probable, possible PCP or no final diagnosis, on the basis of the clinical and radiological signs and direct examination of bronchoalveolar lavage samples., Results: The results showed excellent concordance (96.8%) with another in-house PCR, previously used in the laboratory. The available clinical data allowed classifying 219 patients as having proven PCP (n = 6), probable PCP (n = 27), possible PCP (n = 29) and no final diagnosis of PCP (n = 157). The RealStar ® P jirovecii PCR kit performed well with samples from patients with proven and probable PCP, as indicated by the detection of P jirovecii DNA in all these samples. The percentage of positive samples in the possible PCP category was 75.9%. In patients with no final diagnosis of PCP, P jirovecii DNA was detected in 13.4% of samples, indicating colonisation by this pathogen., Conclusions: The RealStar ® P jirovecii PCR kit shows excellent performance for PCP diagnosis., (© 2021 Wiley-VCH GmbH.)

Abstract

Objective: To describe the characteristics, management and outcomes of hospitalised patients with Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) treated with and without fidaxomicin., Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational study (DAFNE) enrolled hospitalised patients with CDI, including 294 patients treated with fidaxomicin (outcomes recorded over a 3-month period) and 150 patients treated with other CDI therapies during three 1-month periods. The primary endpoint was baseline and CDI characteristics of fidaxomicin-treated patients., Results: At baseline, the fidaxomicin-treated population included immunocompromised patients (39.1%) and patients with severe (59.2%) and recurrent (36.4%) CDI. Fidaxomicin was associated with a high rate of clinical cure (92.2%) and low CDI recurrence (16.3% within 3 months). Clinical cure rates were ≥90% in patients aged ≥65 years, those receiving concomitant antibiotics and those with prior or severe CDI. There were 121/296 (40.9%) patients with adverse events (AEs), 5.4% with fidaxomicin-related AEs and 1.0% with serious fidaxomicin-related AEs. No fidaxomicin-related deaths were reported., Conclusions: Fidaxomicin is an effective and well-tolerated CDI treatment in a real-world setting in France, which included patients at high risk of adverse outcomes.Trial registration: Description of the use of fidaxomicin in hospitalised patients with documented Clostridium difficile infection and the management of these patients (DAFNE), NCT02214771, www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Abstract

Objectives: Dalbavancin is a long-lasting lipoglycopeptide active against Gram-positive bacteria, especially methicillin-resistant staphylococci. Few data are available on dalbavancin use for treatment of prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). We describe a cohort of patients treated for PJI with dalbavancin and review the literature regarding this condition., Methods: All adult patients with PJI from the French dalbavancin national cohort from 1 June 2017 to 1 January 2019 were included. We collected clinical and microbiological characteristics and outcome through a standardised questionnaire. Clinical cure was defined as absence of clinical signs of infection at last visit. Failure was a composite criterion defined by persistence or reappearance of signs of infection, and/or switch to suppressive antibiotic treatment and/or death from infection. The literature review was performed using PubMed., Results: Seventeen patients were included. Bacteria were identified in 16 cases: Staphylococcus aureus (n = 10), including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (n = 1); and coagulase-negative staphylococci (n = 10), including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (n = 4). Sixteen patients (94.1%) had received antibiotic therapy prior to dalbavancin use (mean of 2.2 ± 1.3 lines). Clinical cure was achieved in 8/17 patients after a median follow-up of 299.0 (IQR 97.0-476.0) days. We reviewed all cases of PJI treated with dalbavancin available in the literature and the overall clinical cure was estimated at 73.1%., Conclusion: Our study and literature data suggest that use of dalbavancin in PJI could be considered, even as salvage therapy. Dalbavancin appears to be a safe and easy treatment for patients with staphylococcal PJIs., (Copyright © 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Background: Bone and joint infections (BJIs) due to Streptococcus agalactiae are rare but has been described to increase in the past few years. The objective of this study was to describe clinical features and outcomes of cases of S. BJIs., Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of adult cases of S. agalactiae BJIs that occurred between January 2009 and June 2015 in a French university hospital. The treatment success was assessed until 24 months after the end of antibiotic treatment., Results: Among the 26 patients included, 20 (77%) were male, mean age was 62 years ± 13 and mean Charlson comorbidity index score was 4.9 ± 3.2. Diabetes mellitus was the most common comorbidity (n = 14, 54%). Six had PJI (Prosthetic Joint Infections), five osteosynthesis-associated infections, 11 osteomyelitis and four native septic arthritis. Eleven patients had a delayed or late infection: six with a prosthetic joint infection and five with an internal fixation device infection. Sixteen patients (62%) had a polymicrobial BJI, most commonly with Gram-positive cocci (75%) notably Staphylococcus aureus (44%). Polymicrobial infections were more frequently found in foot infections (90% vs 44%, p = 0.0184). During the two-year follow-up, three patients died (3/25, 12%) and seven (7/25, 28%) had treatment failure., Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus was the most common comorbidity. We observed an heterogenous management and a high rate of relapse., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

Abstract

Dalbavancin is a glycopeptide antibiotic with a long half-life, recently marketed in Europe for skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs), but its real-life use is not well known. The aim of this study was to describe all first prescriptions in France over an 16-month period. A retrospective study on all adult patients receiving at least one dose of dalbavancin from 1 June 2017 to 31 September 2018 was performed (75 patients from 29 French hospitals). Data were collected via a standard questionnaire. Failure was defined as persistence or reappearance of signs of infection, and/or switch to suppressive antibiotic treatment, and/or death from infection. The main indications were bone and joint infection (BJI) (64.0%), endocarditis (25.3%), and SSTI (17.3%). The main bacteria involved were Staphylococcus aureus (51.4%), including methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) (19.4%), and coagulase-negative staphylococci (44.4%). Median minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for staphylococci to vancomycin and dalbavancin ranged from 0.875-2.0 mg/L and 0.032-0.064 mg/L, respectively. Dalbavancin was used after a mean of 2.3 ± 1.2 lines of antimicrobial treatment. The main treatment regimens for dalbavancin were a two-dose regimen (1500 mg each) in 38 cases (50.7%) and a single-dose regimen (1500 mg) in 13 cases (17.3%). Overall, at the patient's last visit, clinical cure was observed in 54/68 patients, whilst failure was observed in 14/68 patients. First use of dalbavancin in France was mostly off-label. Most were due to BJI, often as rescue therapy for severe infections. Even in off-label situations, dalbavancin appears safe and effective., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Aim: We evaluated the performance of Unyvero implant and tissue infections system (ITI) application (Curetis) to diagnose Diabetic Foot Osteomyelitis (DFOM)., Patients & Methods: The study was conducted in the Diabetic Foot reference center of Nîmes University Hospital (France) from 1 December 2016 to 31 May 2017. We compared the Unyvero ITI PCR to conventional culture and alternative molecular approaches., Results: A total of 79 patients with DFOM were included: 177 microorganisms were isolated by culture, 146 detected by PCR, resulting in a concordance level of 66.7% (65.0-68.4). Discrepant results were obtained for 45 samples, with 59 microorganisms being detected by PCR only (18 samples) or by culture only (27 samples)., Conclusion: Unyvero ITI PCR represents an interesting additional diagnosis solution to manage DFOM.

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus induces severe infective endocarditis (IE) where embolic complications are a major cause of death. Risk factors for embolism have been reported such as a younger age or larger IE vegetations, while methicillin resistance conferred by the mecA gene appeared as a protective factor. It is unclear, however, whether embolism is influenced by other S. aureus characteristics such as clonal complex (CC) or virulence pattern. We examined clinical and microbiological predictors of embolism in a prospective multicentric cohort of 98 French patients with monomicrobial S. aureus IE. The genomic contents of causative isolates were characterized using DNA array. To preserve statistical power, genotypic predictors were restricted to CC, secreted virulence factors and virulence regulators. Multivariate regularized logistic regression identified three independent predictors of embolism. Patients at higher risk were younger than the cohort median age of 62.5 y (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.14; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.05-0.36). S. aureus characteristics predicting embolism were a CC30 genetic background (adjusted OR 9.734; 95% CI 1.53-192.8) and the absence of pIB485-like plasmid-borne enterotoxin-encoding genes sed, sej , and ser ( sedjr ; adjusted OR 0.07; 95% CI 0.004-0.457). CC30 S. aureus has been repeatedly reported to exhibit enhanced fitness in bloodstream infections, which might impact its ability to cause embolism. sedjr -encoded enterotoxins, whose superantigenic activity is unlikely to protect against embolism, possibly acted as a proxy to others genes of the pIB485-like plasmid found in genetically unrelated isolates from mostly embolism-free patients. mecA did not independently predict embolism but was strongly associated with sedjr . This mecA - sedjr association might have driven previous reports of a negative association of mecA and embolism. Collectively, our results suggest that the influence of S. aureus genotypic features on the risk of embolism may be stronger than previously suspected and independent of clinical risk factors.

Abstract

Background: Loxoscelism is an envenomation due to a bite by spiders of the genus Loxosceles, very well known on the American continent but unrecognized in Europe., Case Report: We report the case of a 36-year-old woman, without any medical history or treatment, who went to a University Hospital in the South of France, for a painful skin lesion on the internal part of her left thigh, which appeared in the morning and developed rapidly during the day. She was directed to the infectious disease department with a diagnosis of skin infection. In spite of the antibiotics, the lesion increased, with a hemorrhagic central blister, an irregular ecchymotic center, a pale perimeter, and an extensive inflammatory and indurate oedema affecting the whole thigh. There was also a low-grade fever, chills, intense pain and a generalized scarlatiniform exanthema. The lesion was finally diagnosed as cutaneous loxoscelism, then confirmed by collection and identification of a Loxosceles rufescens spider killed by the patient the morning of the occurrence of the lesion. Following an initial symptomatic treatment, the development of a necrotic ulcer justified a delayed surgical reconstruction, after stabilization of the lesion., Conclusions: Loxosceles bites are usually painless and rarely noticed by patients, often leading to a presumptive diagnosis. Therefore, in the case of a dermonecrotic lesion developing unfavourably with antibiotics, cutaneous loxoscelism should be one of the diagnoses to be considered.
