1 Handbook of Antimicrobial Use at JIPMER Edited by Dr Subhash C.Parija Dr Sujatha Sistla Dr Jharna Mandal Department of Microbiology JIPMER - Pondicherry 2013
2 Contents Page GI and intra Abdominal Infections CVS Infections... 8 Skin and soft tissue Infections...9 Bone and joint Infections...10 Respiratory Infections Genitourinary Infections...13 CNS Infections...14 Ocular Infections...15 Dental Infections...16 Empiric antibiotic therapy for ICU Treatment of Patients with Fever and Neutropenia Changes made in the handbook- an entire section which deals with empiric antibiotic therapy in febrile neutropenia and one section dedicated to empiric therapy in the ICU. Certain new class of antibiotics have been included so that the pressure on certain groups of antibiotics are minimized like the carbapenems.
3 OBJECTIVES OF THE HANDBOOK The appropriate use of antimicrobials is an essential part of patient safety and deserves careful oversight and guidance. Antimicrobial resistance is an evolutionary phenomenon and the selection of resistant pathogens is significantly associated with antimicrobial use. Antimicrobial resistance results in increased morbidity, mortality, and costs of health care. Prevention of the emergence of resistance and the dissemination of resistant microorganisms will reduce these adverse effects and their attendant costs. We therefore urge everyone to restrict our use of antimicrobial agents. In this revised edition, we have added a few sections on the empiric treatment of febrile neutropenia and in the intensive care units. We hope that this second edition of the Handbook of Antimicrobial Use at JIPMER would address some of the pending issues of the last edition. We are very grateful to all our colleagues who gave their valuable suggestions in making of this edition of the handbook. There are bound to be errors and we would welcome all feedback so that future editions can be corrected. We hope that this handbook would act as a basic reference to the clinicians in prescribing antibiotics and help streamline the management of common infections encountered in the hospital.

21 Treatment of Patients with Fever And Neutropenia Principles Empirical antibiotic therapy should be administered promptly to all neutropenic patients at the onset of fever or any other new signs and symptoms of infection Antibiotics chosen should: Provide adequate coverage of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Be based on local antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of frequently identified bacterial Pathogens Low risk Solid organ malignancy with no organ dysfunction Age<60 years No comorbid illness High risk All haematological malignancies, solid organ malignancies with organ dysfunction Age>60 years Presence of comorbid illness Initial empirical antibiotic therapy : Low-risk patients should receive initial oral antibiotics: Levofloxacin plus amoxicillin-clavulanate in combination is recommended. High-risk patients require hospitalization for IV empirical antibiotic therapy; monotherapy with an antipseudomonal β-lactam agent, such as cefepime, a carbapenem (meropenem or imipenem-cilastatin), or piperacillin-tazobactam, is recommended. Other antimicrobials (aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, and/or vancomycin) may be added to the initial regimen for management of complications (eg, hypotension and pneumonia) or if antimicrobial resistance is suspected or proven. First line: Ceftazidime +amikacin cefepime+ amikacin Second line : Piperacillin-Tazobactum tazobactam + amikacin Cefepime-tazobactum tazobactam + amikacin Meropenem. Vancomycin (or other agents active against aerobic grampositive cocci) is not recommended as a standard part of the initial antibiotic regimen for fever and neutropenia. These agents should be considered for specific clinical indications, including suspected catheter-related infection, skin or soft-tissue infection, pneumonia, or hemodynamic instability. Vancomycin plus 1 or 2 antibiotics, if criteria for use of Vancomycin is met: As above + Vancomycin. 22
22 Modifications of initial antibiotic therapy: Modifications to initial empirical therapy may be considered for patients at risk for infection with the following antibiotic-resistant organisms, particularly - if the patient s condition is unstable or if the patient has positive blood culture [methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE), extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL) producing gram-negative bacteria, and carbapenemase-producing organisms, including Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)]. Modifications to the initial antibiotic regimen should be guided by clinical and microbiologic data and should be treated with antibiotics appropriate for the site and for the susceptibilities of any isolated organisms. Escalation: Patients who remain hemodynamically unstable after initial doses with standard agents for neutropenic fever should have their antimicrobial regimen. De-escalaton: Low-risk patients who have initiated oral antibiotics in the hospital may have their treatment approach simplified if they are clinically stable. Empirical antifungal coverage should be considered in high-risk patients who have persistent fever after 4 7 days of a broad-spectrum antibacterial regimen and no identified fever source. First line: amphotericin B for Candida spp, voriconazole for Aspergillus spp Second line: Caspofungin for Candida spp Please send appropriate sample for culture and sensitivity and de-escalate wherever possible as per the sensitivity. 23
23 Therapy Duration A. Patient becomes afebrile in 3 days 1. Patient afebrile by day 3. Etiologic agent identified - adjust therapy to most appropriate drugs. No etiologic agent identified : Patient at low risk initially, and on oral antibiotics with no subsequent complications - continue use of the same drugs Patient at low risk initially and therapy with i.v.drugs begun with no subsequent complications change to oral ciprofloxacin + amoxicillin clavulanate after 48 hours. Patient at high risk initially with no subsequent complication continue use of same i.v.drugs B. Persistent fever throughout the first 3 days ANC 500cells /mm 3 for 2 consecutive days, no definite site of infection, and no positive cultures - stop antibiotic therapy when the patient is afebrile for 48 h. ANC < 500 cells /mm 3 Patient initially at low risk, and no subsequent complications -stop therapy when patient is afebrile for 5-7 days Patient initially at risk and no subsequent complications - continue same antibiotics 2. Persistent fever on day 3. Reassess therapy on day 3 If no clinical worsening, continue use ot the same antibiotics. Stop Vancomycin ( if part of initial regimen) if cultures negative If there progressive disease, change antibiotics ( Imipenem 0.5gm i.v.q6h / Meropenem 1gmi.v.Q8H). If patient febrile after hours, consider adding Amphotericin B, with and without a change in antibiotic regimen. Additional indications for Amphotericin B /Voriconazole: Pleural rub, pulmonary infiltrates suggestive of invasive aspergillosis, paranasal sinusitis. ANC 500cells /mm 3 - stop antibiotics 4-5 days after ANC 2 500cells /mm 3.- ANC < 500 cells /mm 3 - reassess and continue antibiotics for 2 more weeks; reassess and consider stopping therapy if no disease site found Others Hand hygiene, maximal sterile barrier precautions, and cutaneous antisepsis with chlorhexidine during CVC insertion are recommended for all CVC insertions. Please send appropriate sample for culture and sensitivity and de-escalate wherever possible as per the sensitivity. 24
