We conducted an observational study to assess the etiology, clinical features and outcomes of bloodstream infection (BSI) in 172 hematopoietic SCT (HCST) recipients. One hundred episodes of BSI in the pre-engraftment period (early onset) were compared with 89 episodes in the post-engraftment phase (late onset). More patients with late-onset BSI received an allogeneic HSCT, had GVHD and had received corticosteroids, whereas patients with early-onset BSI were more likely to have neutropenia, severe mucositis and a central venous catheter (CVC) in place. CVC was the most frequent site of infection, followed by an endogenous source. Pneumonia and gastrointestinal infection were particularly frequent in late-onset BSI, whereas mucositis was more frequent in the early-onset group. Gram-positive organisms predominated over Gram negatives. Streptococcus pneumoniae was more frequent in patients with late-onset BSI. Patients with late-onset BSI presented worse outcomes regarding septic shock, intensive care unit admission and early and overall case-fatality rates. Early-onset BSI was mainly related to the presence of neutropenia, mucositis and CVC, whereas late-onset BSI mainly affected severely immunosuppressed allogeneic HSCT recipients with GVHD and corticosteroids. Late-onset BSI caused high case-fatality rates. BSI due to S. pneumoniae was especially frequent late after transplantation. The development of better vaccination strategies is needed.
