Gliederung

Text

Background: Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) is a severe disease carrying a high risk of complications such as metastatic disease with deep-seated foci of infection, endocarditis, severe sepsis or recurrences – in particular in community-onset cases. In a recent European survey (n=1,838) the case-fatality rate at day 14 was 16% (Grundmann et al. PloS Med 2010; 7:e1000215), whereas in a recent Australian-New Zealand survey (n=1,865) the case-fatality rate at day 30 was 21% (Turnidge et al. Med J Aust 2009; 191:368). We reassessed all-cause case-fatality rates among community-acquired, community onset/healthcare-associated and nosocomial adult SAB cases seen during an 8-years period at a German university hospital.

Methods: Cases with SAB onset 2002-2005 were retrospectively analysed, and cases seen 2006–2009 were prospectively followed (within the INSTINCT cohort). Community-onset healthcare-associated SAB was defined as SAB within 48 h of admission in an outpatient with i) close health care contact (iv therapy, wound care, hemodialysis) within 30 days prior to SAB onset or ii) hospitalisation for 2 or more days within 90 days or iii) continuous residency in a nursing home.

Results: Of 730 cases, 211 were community-acquired, 161 were community onset/healthcare-associated, and 358 (49%) were nosocomial. Community-acquired cases when compared with community onset/healthcare-associated cases showed fewer cases with MRSA (<1 vs 12%, OR 0.05 [0.006–0.35]), more endocarditis (29 vs 11%, OR 3.3 [1.9–5.7]), more metastatic disease (57 vs 35%, OR 2.5 [1.6–3.8]), and a higher proportion of iv drug abusers (14 vs 2%, OR 6.9 [2.5–18.5]). The case-fatality rates at day 14 and day 30 were similar in the two groups (table). The rates were higher than among nosocomial SAB cases.

(Table 1 [Tab. 1])

Conclusions: The case-fatality rate among community-onset SAB is higher than that among nosocomial cases and remains high at this center with a >10% rate at day 14. The data allow a better estimation of the burden of disease and – together with multicenter surveys such as preSABATO – provide useful estimates for the planning of further epidemiological and interventional studies.
