World J Pediatr 2023; 19:129-138. [PMID: 36562929 PMCID: PMC9928924 DOI: 10.1007/s12519-022-00650-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the tolerability and efficacy of linezolid in children for treating suspected and diagnosed Gram-positive bacterial infections. METHODS A systematic literature search was conducted up to April 23, 2021, using linezolid and its synonyms as search terms. Two reviewers independently identified and extracted relevant randomized controlled trials and prospective cohort studies. The extracted studies were included in a single-rate meta-analysis of adverse events and clinical outcomes using random-effects models. RESULTS A total of 1082 articles were identified, and nine studies involving 758 children were included in the meta-analysis. The overall proportion of adverse events was 8.91% [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.64%-36.52%], with diarrhea (2.24%), vomiting (2.05%), and rash (1.72%) being the most common. The incidences of thrombocytopenia and anemia were 0.68% and 0.16%, respectively. Some specific adverse events, including rash and gastrointestinal events, were more frequent in the oral administration subgroup. In terms of efficacy, the overall proportion of clinical improvement was 88.80% (95% CI = 81.31%-93.52%). Children with a history of specific bacteriological diagnosis or concomitant antibiotic therapy had a 1.13-fold higher clinical improvement than children without such histories. The proportion of microbial eradication was 92.68% (95% CI = 84.66%-96.68%). The proportion of all-cause mortality was 0.16% (95% CI = 0.00%-7.75%). CONCLUSIONS Linezolid was well-tolerated in pediatric patients and was associated with a low frequency of adverse events, such as anemia, thrombocytopenia, and neutropenia. Moreover, linezolid was effective in children with diagnosed and suspected Gram-positive infections.

Abstract
Electronic health records (EHRs) have revolutionized the field of drug hypersensitivity reaction (DHR) research. In this systematic review, we assessed 140 articles from 2000-2021, classifying them under six themes: observational studies (n=61), clinical documentation (n=27), case management (n=22), clinical decision support (CDS) (n=18), case identification (n=9), and genetic studies (n=3). EHRs provide convenient access to millions of medical records, facilitating epidemiological studies of DHRs. Though the goal of CDS is to promote safe drug prescribing, allergy alerts must be designed and used in a way that supports this effort. Ultimately, accurate allergy documentation is essential for DHR prevention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Few data are available regarding intraoperative plasma concentrations of vancomycin administered as prophylaxis in pediatric cardiac surgery. The aims of this study were to investigate during pediatric cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) the attainment of the area-under-the-curve of the vancomycin serum concentrations versus time over surgery to minimum inhibitory concentration ratio(AUCintra/MIC) of 400 (mg × h)/l and/or a target concentration of 15-20 mg/l. METHODS In a prospective study, 40 patients divided into four subgroups (neonates, infants, children <10 years-old, ⩾10 years-old) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were enrolled. A slow vancomycin bolus of 20 mg/kg, up to a maximum dose of 1000 mg was administered before skin incision and a further dose of 10 mg/kg (up to 500 mg) at CPB start. Vancomycin samples were collected intraoperatively at four time points. RESULTS The median (interquartile range) age was 241.5 days (47-3898) and the median weight was 7.1 kg (3.1-37). The median AUCintra/MIC was 254.73 (165.89-508.06). In 11 patients the AUCintra/MIC target was not reached. Neonates displayed the lowest AUCintra/MIC values, and these were significantly lower than those of children ⩾10 years old (p = 0.02). Vancomycin concentrations were above the maximal target of 20 mg/l in 82.5% and 80% of patients at surgery and CPB start, respectively. At CPB and surgery end, 42.5% of patients showed vancomycin concentrations above 20 mg/l and 42.5% below 15 mg/l. Patients⩾10 years old showed the highest peak values whereas neonates were those with the lowest troughs. AUCintra/MIC correlated with age(r:0.36, p = 0.02), weight(r:0.35, p = 0.03), intraoperative protein value(r:0.40, p = 0.01), CPB priming volume/kg(r:-0.33, p = 0.04), CPB duration(r:0.36, p = 0.02) and vancomycin troughs(r:0.35, p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS An AUCintra/MIC ⩾400 target was not reached in one-quarter of children undergoing heart surgery. Vancomycin peaked before the start of surgery and neonates were those with the lowest troughs. Vancomycin concentrations are affected by CPB hemodilution and by patients' age and weight.

BMC Anesthesiol 2021; 21:4. [PMID: 33407142 PMCID: PMC7786494 DOI: 10.1186/s12871-020-01220-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vancomycin (VCM) is effective in fighting Gram-positive bacteria related severe infections, and topical application of VCM powder is widely used in orthopedic surgery to prevent wound infection. However, VCM could lead to infusion rate-dependent antibody-and complement-independent anaphylaxis reaction by inducing direct release of histamine. CASE PRESENTATION We retrospectively analyzed seven cases of severe hypotension and shock during wound closure or immediately after orthopedic surgery with unidentifiable reasons. We found that these cases were all associated with local application of VCM powder during wound closure process. Two patients experienced sudden cardiac arrest. Most of the cases (6/7) with circulatory collapse were discharged without severe sequelae. While one case with application of 3 g VCM developed cardiac arrest and remained in a coma due to hypoxic-hypoxic encephalopathy. The clinical presentations and the time of the shock onset were considered to be related with a VCM induced anaphylaxis reaction. However, as this was a retrospective study, and there was no laboratory examination performed, the conclusion was made upon differential diagnosis based on clinical manifestations and the timing of the shock. CONCLUSIONS Local application of VCM may not be as safe as was once believed and may lead to a related anaphylaxis. As VCM induced infusion-rate dependent, non-IgE mediated anaphylaxis is characterized by delayed occurrence, severe hypotension and even circulatory collapse, surgeons and anesthesiologists should be extra vigilant during and after VCM application.

Abstract
Due to the high bacterial resistance to antibiotics (AB), it has become necessary to adjust the dose aimed at personalized medicine by means of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). TDM is a fundamental tool for measuring the concentration of drugs that have a limited or highly toxic dose in different body fluids, such as blood, plasma, serum, and urine, among others. Using different techniques that allow for the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) analysis of the drug, TDM can reduce the risks inherent in treatment. Among these techniques, nanotechnology focused on biosensors, which are relevant due to their versatility, sensitivity, specificity, and low cost. They provide results in real time, using an element for biological recognition coupled to a signal transducer. This review describes recent advances in the quantification of AB using biosensors with a focus on TDM as a fundamental aspect of personalized medicine.

Abstract
A male infant born at 32 weeks' gestation with a birthweight of 1030 g was started on intravenous vancomycin for a femoral osteomyelitis. On day 7 of treatment, he developed an erythematous flushed rash, rapidly spreading from the head to trunk and extremities, and became markedly irritable; vancomycin infusion was promptly stopped, with subsequent skin clearance. Given the wide use of vancomycin for the treatment of neonatal infections, a good awareness of red man syndrome signs and symptoms in the neonatal population is fundamental to recognize this adverse drug reaction and manage its rare but possible life-threatening complications.
