Brief summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Polymyxin B for treatment Gram negative bacterial infection. The hypothesis of study is Polymyxin B would be the new antibacterial agents for Thai Gram negative infected patients in case of desirable outcomes and minimal side effects.

Detailed description

* Investigator is notified by doctors who take care of gram negative infected patients. * Investigator inform patient or their relatives about all topics in project, eligible criteria, method, material and monitoring treatment. * After patient or their relatives are appreciated to join this project, investigator collect data in case record form;electronics form, then implement the drug. * Duration of treatment is determined by site and severity of infection, approximately 7-14 days. * Sample size calculation, by prevalence formula, we estimate the mortality rate about 50 %, deviation 10 %,and 2-sided 95% Confidence interval, therefore,97 persons * We estimate gather data about 100 persons. * Statistical descriptive analysis for descriptive data. * During the study is performing, all unexpected adverse event definitely report to Siriraj institutional Review Board immediately, in addition to subjects or their relatives.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
mortality rateparticipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weeksmortality rate of gram negative bacteria infected patients receiving Polymyxin B at day 28 after enrollment

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
adverse drug reactionsparticipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weekswe assess adverse drug reactions in 2 aspects; nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity
microbiological clearanceparticipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weekswe perform culture and staining to assess bacterial clearance after apply the study drug every 3 days until culture is negative
Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of polymyxin Bparticipants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 4 weekswe do the blood test for drug level at before the third date dose then 1,2,4 hours after administration of the polymixin B and before the fourth dose.
