Abstract

Author(s): Manoj Saxena [sup.1] [sup.2], Paul Young [sup.3] [sup.4], David Pilcher [sup.5] [sup.6] [sup.7], Michael Bailey [sup.5], David Harrison [sup.8], Rinaldo Bellomo [sup.5], Simon Finfer [sup.1] [sup.9], Richard Beasley [sup.4], [...], Background Fever suppression may be beneficial for patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke, but for patients with meningitis or encephalitis [central nervous system (CNS) infection], the febrile response may be advantageous. Objective To evaluate the relationship between peak temperature in the first 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission and all-cause hospital mortality for acute neurological diseases. Design, setting and participants Retrospective cohort design from 2005 to 2013, including 934,159 admissions to 148 ICUs in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) and 908,775 admissions to 236 ICUs in the UK. Results There were 53,942 (5.8 %) patients in ANZ and 56,696 (6.2 %) patients in the UK with a diagnosis of TBI, stroke or CNS infection. For both the ANZ (P = 0.02) and UK (P < 0.0001) cohorts there was a significant interaction between early peak temperature and CNS infection, indicating that the nature of the relationship between in-hospital mortality and peak temperature differed between TBI/stroke and CNS infection. For patients with CNS infection, elevated peak temperature was not associated with an increased risk of death, relative to the risk at 37-37.4 °C (normothermia). For patients with stroke and TBI, peak temperature below 37 °C and above 39 °C was associated with an increased risk of death, compared to normothermia. Conclusions The relationship between peak temperature in the first 24 h after ICU admission and in-hospital mortality differs for TBI/stroke compared to CNS infection. For CNS infection, increased temperature is not associated with increased risk of death.

Abstract

Byline: R. Straussberg (1), L. Harel (1), J. Amir (1) Keywords: Key WordsCitrobacter koseri; Meningitis; Brain abscess; Imipenem; Meropenem Abstract: Neonatal Citrobacter koseri (diversus) meningitis is often complicated by the formation of brain abscesses and has a poor neurological outcome with seizures, mental retardation and paresis as sequelae in 50% of the cases. As there is emerging resistance to ampicillin, gentamicin and third-generation cephalosporins, we attempted to treat this infection with carbapenems. Carbapenems in combination with cefotaxime and surgical drainage may play an important role in treating C. koseri meningitis.

36. Cerebrospinal fluid endotoxin levels in children with H. influenzae meningitis before and after administration of intravenous ceftriaxone

Abstract

Bacterial meningitis due to Hemophilus influenzae remains a serious, frequently fatal disease. There has not been a significant reduction in case fatality rates, despite the availability of new and more potent antibiotics or chemotherapeutics. This adverse reaction may be due to the interaction between host cells and substances released when antibiotics destroy the bacteria. These products appear to stimulate pathophysiologic changes in the central nervous system (CNS), which can lead to irreversible injury to tissues in the system and produce long-term complications. Gram-negative organisms have high endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, or LPS) concentrations in the outer membrane of the cell. Some antibiotic activity produces significant alterations in LPS levels in CNS fluids. A rise in LPS has been correlated with increased CNS injury. Ceftriaxone therapy resulted in a marked increase in free LPS in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients being treated for Hemophilus influenzae meningitis. This elevated LPS level correlated with increased CNS injury resulting in seizures, brain edema (swelling), and increased inflammation of the subarachnoid space (under the membrane surrounding the brain). The data reported here emphasize the need to evaluate therapy in which the antibacterial action causes the release of cellular products and components, which frequently are as toxic as the action of the intact bacterial cells.
