Abstract:

Objective

To explore the usage of the treatment and evaluate the safety and efficacy of tigecycline in the treatment of infections secondary to burn injury.

Methods

This was a non-controlled, multicenter, open-label clinical tria1. Intravenous tigecycline was administered with a loading dose of 100 mg for the first time followed by 50 mg/12 hours during the remaining treatment, which lasted for 30-60 minutes every time. The drug was evaluated by 4 aspects: initial treatment effect, clinical efficacy, bacteriological efficacy, and safety.

Results

A total of 77 patients were recruited, the initial effective rate was 81.82%, and the clinical effective rate was 84.42% (cured 9.09%, markedly effective 50.65%, improved 24.68%). There was one adverse event related to the drug, the incidence of adverse reaction was 1.31%. The bacterial clearance rate was 46.75%.

Conclusions

Tigecycline is mostly mild in the treatment of infections secondary to burn injury and the clinical incidence of adverse reactions is low. Tigecycline can be an effective and safe treatment for infections secondary to burn injury.

Key words: Burns, Infection, Treatment outcome, Tigecycline, Safety
