Combination of vancomycin and rifampicin for the treatment of persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia in preterm neonates.

Abstract:

UNLABELLED:Coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most common cause of late-onset sepsis in premature neonates. The optimal approach in persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia, despite adequate treatment with glycopeptides, is not well established. A retrospective study was conducted on preterm neonates with persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia treated with the combination of vancomycin-rifampicin. Ten cases were included, with a median gestational age of 26 weeks (range 24 weeks + 3 days-31 weeks + 4 days, interquartile range 25 weeks + 3 days-29 weeks + 3 days) and a median birth weight of 715 g (range 555-2,030). The median age at the onset of infection was 9 days (range 5-37). The most frequent clinical presentation was apnea or increased ventilatory support. Bacteremia persisted for a median of 9 (range 6-19) days until rifampicin initiation. Bacteremia was resolved in all cases on vancomycin-rifampicin with no serious side effects. CONCLUSION:Our study provides data supporting the safety and efficacy of vancomycin-rifampicin combination for the treatment of persistent coagulase-negative staphylococcal bacteremia in preterm neonates.
