Abstract: AIM: To investigate the relationship of clinical efficacy, blood trough concentration and adverse reavtion, which in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection with Vancomycin. METHODS: The clinical data of 82 hospital patients who were infected by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and treated with Vancomycin from January 2008 to October 2009 were retrospectively analyzed the clinic efficacy, bacteriological treatment, adverse reaction were observed, and the blook trough concentration was detected. RESULTS: The treatment effective rate of Vancomycin-blood trough concentration which was less than 5 μg/mL, in the range of 5-10 μg/mL, and greater than 10 μg/mL were 68.75%, 72.73% and 81.82%. The bacterial clearance rates were 62.50%, 68.18% and 72.73%. One case of blood trough concentration of 14.6 μg/mL in patients with renal toxicity. CONCLUSION: Increasing the blood trough concentration of Vancomycin can improve the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in the efficacy and bacterial eradication rates, but the probability of renal toxicity adverse reactions will also increase accordingly.
