Clinical efficacy of teicoplanin combined with L-carnitine for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis
To observe the clinical efficacy of teicoplanin combined with levocarnitine in treatment of methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
(MRSA) infective endocarditis (IE).
Methods
2
A total of 84 patients diagnosed with IE caused by MRSA admitted to our hospital from March 2018 to February 2019 were perspectively recruited
and then randomly divided into control group (teicoplanin and placebo) and combined treatment group (teicoplanin and levocarnitine)
42 cases in each group. Cardiac function indexes
including stroke output (SV)
cardiac output (CO) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were observed before and after treatment. The clinical efficacy and bacterial clearance were evaluated and compared between the 2 groups. The levels of hypersensitivity C-reaction protein (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT)
white blood cell count (WBC)
and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in the serum of the 2 groups before and after treatment were compared. Adverse reactions during treatment were counted and compared.
Results
2
There were no significant differences in cardiac function indexes between the 2 groups before treatment (
P
>
0.05). While
SV
CO and LVEF were increased after treatment in both groups
and the above values in the combined group were significantly higher than those of the control group (
P
<
0.05). Statistical difference was seen in the distribution of efficacy grade between the 2 groups (
P
<
0.05)
and the combination group had notably higher total effective rate (95.24%
vs
80.95%)
clearance rate (92.86%
vs
76.19%) and total clearance rate (97.62%
vs
83.33%) when compared with the control group (all
P
<
0.05). There were no significant differences in serum hs-CRP and PCT levels and WBC and ESR before treatment (
P
>
0.05). The indexes were decreased after treatment
with those in the combined group more significant (all
P
<
0.05). No significant difference was found in the incidence of total adverse reactions between the 2 groups (
P
>
0.05).
Conclusion
2
Teicoplanin combined with L-carnitine is safe and reliable
and can effectively improve the cardiac function
promote bacterial clearance rate
and effectively control infection in IE patients induced by MRSA.
