Bacteremia is associated with high lethality in HIV-infected patients. The widespread use of cotrimoxazole prophylaxis and misuse of antibiotics promote antibacterial resistance. Only few studies have considered this issue in HIV-infected patients. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the etiology and antibacterial susceptibility patterns of bloodstream isolates in patient living with HIV.This is a retrospective cross-sectional and descriptive study conducted at the clinic of Infectious and Tropical Diseases of Fann university hospital from March 2013 to December 2016. Data were collected from patients' files according to a pre-establish survey form made of demographic, clinical, bacteriological and biological parameters.Seventy-four cases of bacteremia were registered, 51.4% of which in women. Participants' median age was 45 years old [18-73 years old] and average CD4 count 83.3 cells/μl. The most commonly isolated bacteria were coagulase negative staphylococci (14%) followed byThe result of this study advocates the need for ongoing surveillance of antibacterial resistance in HIV-infected patients and empirical antibiotic therapy based on surveillance data. |
