Abstract
ABSTRACTA retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of levofloxacin in the treatment ofStenotrophomonas maltophiliabacteremia. The 30-day mortality rates were similar between the trimerthoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and levofloxacin treatment groups. Adverse events related to antibiotics occurred more frequently in patients receiving TMP-SMX, and recurrent bacteremia due to levofloxacin-resistantS. maltophiliastrains developed in patients treated with levofloxacin. Our data suggest that levofloxacin can be a useful alternative option for treatingS. maltophiliainfections.
