BACKGROUND: Infection is still a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality in
acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients receiving chemotherapy. Recently the
main cause of infection has changed from gram-negative to gram-positive bacteria
and the resistance to antibiotics has increased. This study aimed to access the
effectiveness of antimicrobial prophylaxis (AP) with orally absorbable
antibiotics. METHODS: Ninety-five AML patients receiving chemotherapy at Catholic
Hemopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Center from March 1999 to July 1999 were
randomly divided into the AP group (250 mg ciprofloxacin twice a day, 150 mg
roxithromycin twice a day, 50 mg fluconazole once a day) and the control group
for a prospective analysis. RESULTS: The incidence of fever was 82.6% in the AP
group and 91.6% in the control group (p = 0.15). Though classification and sites
of infections showed no difference between the two groups, the catheter
associated infection occurred more frequently in the AP group in significance.
The time interval between initiation of chemotherapy and onset of fever, white
blood cell (WBC) count at the onset of fever, duration of leukopenia (WBC <
1,000/mm3), duration of systemic antibiotic therapy, mortality due to infection
and hospitalization period from the data starting chemotherapy showed no
differences between the two groups. Infections due to gram negative bacteria
decreased to 33.3% in the AP group (vs. 92% in the control group), but infections
due to gram positive bacteria increased to 66.7% (vs. 8% in the control group).
Gram negative bacteria showed 100% resistance to ciprofloxacin in the AP group
and gram-positive bacteria showed 90-100% resistance to erythromycin, regardless
of the presence of AP. CONCLUSION: The AP could not reduce the occurrence of
infection or infection associated death in AML patients receiving chemotherapy.
On considering increased gram-positive infection and resistance to
fluoroquinolone and macrolide, routine prescription of AP should be reconsidered.
Further studies that assess the effectiveness of AP in other malignancies,
aplastic anemia and bone marrow transplantation are required.
