Zusammenfassung
Die Wirksamkeit von strikter reverser Isolation und antimikrobieller Dekontamination bei der Induktionstherapie der akuten LeukÄmie wurde retrospektiv bei 47 Patienten untersucht. Alle Patienten erhielten eine standardisierte aggressive Chemotherapie mit Daunorubicin und Cytosin-Arabinosid. Zweiundzwanzig Patienten wurden in strikter reverser Isolation mit antimikrobieller Dekontamination behandelt, 25 Patienten auf normalen Krankenstationen ohne Ma\nahmen zur Infektionsprophylaxe. Die HÄufigkeit neuer Infektionen pro Patient war 0,77 bei den isolierten Patienten und 1,42 in der Kontrollgruppe. Die Rate kompletter Remissionen betrug bei den isolierten Patienten 77% im Vergleich zu 56% bei den Patienten auf den normalen Krankenstationen.
Summary
The efficiency of strict reverse isolation and antimicrobial decontamination in remission induction therapy of acute leukemia was studied retrospectively in 47 patients who were treated with a standardized aggressive chemotherapy of daunorubicin and cytosine arabinoside. Twenty-two patients were treated in strict reverse isolation with antimicrobial decontamination and 25 patients in the open ward without any measures against infections. In the patients in isolation the incidence of new infections per patient was 0.77 compared to 1.42 in the control group. The rate of complete remissions was 77% in the patients in isolation vs. 56 % in the control patients.
