Antibióticos em doentes neutropénicos** Tema apresentado na Mesa-redonda âAntibióticos e Infecção Respiratóriaâ XV Congresso de Pneumologia, Ofir, 09/11/99

Abstract

RESUMO: A avaliação clínica e diagnóstica de doentes neutropénicos com febre é, frequenternente, complexa. As infecções nestes doentes podem ser particularmente graves, exigindo o início rápido de terapêutica antibiótica de largo espectro por via endovenosa. O regime terapêutico mais usado é o constituído pela associação de aminoglicosídeos com cefalosporinas ou penicilinas com actividade anti-pseudomonas, embora em casos menos graves possa usarse apenas um antibiótico (em geral ceftazidima ou imipenem/cilastatina). A associação de vancomicina ao esquema inicial, não aconselhada por rotina, pode ter indicação sobretudo quando se presume infecção grave por gram positivos. A duração da terapêutica deve ser determinada em função da evolução clínica e da contagem de neutrófilos. ABSTRACT: Clinical and diagnostic evaluation of neutropenic patients with fever is frequently difficult. Infection in these patients may be serious and rapidly fatal demanding urgent use of broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotics by intravenous route. The most commonly used scheme is the association of an aminoglycoside with a third-generation cephalosporin or an antipseudomonal penicillin, although in low-risk patients monotherapy can be used (ceflazidime or imipenem/cilastatin). The routine use of vancomycin as part of the initial therapy is not recommended, unless serious gram positive infection is presumed. The most important determinants of the duration of therapy are the patientâs clinical condition and neutrophil count.
