EHA Expert Interview | Dr. Sizhou Feng: Insights from Resistant Bacterial Colonization in Hematology Patients for Empirical Therapy

EHA Expert Interview | Dr. Sizhou Feng: Insights from Resistant Bacterial Colonization in Hematology Patients for Empirical Therapy

2024.07.27
Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and high-dose chemotherapy for hematological diseases have impaired immune function, making them highly susceptible to febrile neutropenia and colonization or infection with resistant bacteria. Prompt and accurate initiation of empirical therapy is crucial to improve patient outcomes. At the 2024 European Hematology Association (EHA) Annual Meeting, Dr. Sizhou Feng's team from the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, reported a study showing a high proportion of bloodstream infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. (CRA) in hematology patients, with homology between bloodstream isolates and colonizing bacteria. This indicates the need to strengthen hospital infection control to reduce resistant bacterial colonization and to promptly initiate appropriate empirical antimicrobial therapy for suspected infections in patients colonized with resistant bacteria. "Oncology Frontier - Hematology Frontier" invited Dr. Sizhou Feng to introduce and interpret this research at the EHA meeting.
