  16. CFR trend in invasive GAS infections R= 0.9 (p=<.001) R= 0.1 (p=0.8) Valiquette et al. IDSA 2006.

  17. CFR trend in STSS R= 0.9 (p=0.001) R= -0.7 (p=0.03) Valiquette et al. IDSA 2006.

  18. Summary • Increase in the incidence of invasive GAS from 1992-2001. • Case-fatality rate is stable. • Increase in the incidence of GAS TSS from 1992-2001 • Case-fatality rate seems to decline. • Better management?

  19. Necrotizing fasciitis, 1992-2004

  20. Results • 392 cases from 1992-2004 (52% histology+) • ♂=56% ♀=44% (Men were younger 46 vs. 53) • From 1992-2001, mean pop. Incidence = 0.3/100,000 pop. • Age groups • 0.1/100,000  <25 years • 0.3/100,000  25-64 • 0.6/100,000  ≥65 years Valiquette et al. IDSA 2006.

  25. IVIG and severe GAS infections

  26. Mechanisms of action of IVIG

  27. Clinical evidence of IVIG efficacy in GAS TSS • Randomized controlled study • Darenberg et al. • Observational study (1) • Kaul et al. • Case series (2) and case reports

  28. Clinical equipoise • Important variability in use of IVIG between physicians • EIN/IDSA (1999) • 46% patients with GAS TSS treated with IVIG • 72% respondents thought that a RCT would assist their treatment decision • Laupland et al. (2002) • 76% would use IVIG in GAS TSS • 50% would use IVIG in NF without TSS • 67% thought that a RCT would be ethical EIN Query Results Report, http://www.idsociety.org. 1999.Laupland et al. J Crit Care. 2004.

  29. ID specialists recommended managementfor severe GAS infections Valiquette et al. Scand J Inf Dis. 2006.

  30. Can-ID survey : Evidence of IVIG therapy • Strength of current evidence : median response = 6 (IQR 5-7) • Importance the results of a high quality RCT in GAS TSS : median response = 8 (IQR 7-9) • Importance the results of a high quality RCT in NF without STSS : median response = 8 (IQR 7-9) Valiquette et al. Scand J Inf Dis. 2006.

  31. Can-ID survey : Is a RCT ethical? • RCT ethically justified • GAS TSS = 70% (131/187) • NF without TSS = 88% (162/186) • Willing to enroll • GAS TSS = 67% (125/188) • NF without TSS = 81% (152/188) Valiquette et al. Scand J Inf Dis. 2006.

  32. Adverse effects • Many side-effects have been reported with IVIG use. • Mild side-effects: 3-10% • Severe side effects: Anaphylaxis, aseptic meningitis, thrombo-embolic events, acute renal failure etc. • Transmission of infectious pathogens due to infusion of a blood product • Complications related to infusion of a colloid solution Valiquette et al. Scand J Inf Dis. 2006.

  33. Cost For a 2g/kg treatment to a 70kg patient: 11,000$

  34. Clinical evidence of IVIG efficacy in GAS TSS • Randomized controlled study • Darenberg et al. • Observational study • Kaul et al. • Case series and case reports Darenberg et al. CID. 2003. Kaul et al. CID 1999.

  35. Canadian observational study– IVIG vs. no IVIG

  36. Canadian observational study - mortality

  37. European RCT - Outcomes

  38. European RCT – change in SOFA score Darenberg et al. CID. 2003.

  39. IVIG in GAS TSS: a reassessment of efficacy Valiquette et al. IDSA 2008.

  40. Risk factors for mortality

  41. Risk factors for mortality

  42. Cumulative dose of IVIG (g/kg)

  43. IVIG in GAS NF Valiquette et al. IDSA 2006.

  44. IVIG + conservative surgical approach in GAS NF Norrby-Teglund A et al.Scand J Infec Dis. 2005.

  45. Predictors of mortality

  46. Predictors of mortality

  47. Summary • No statistically significant effect of IVIG in GAS NF and GAS TSS • For GAS TSS, effect is smaller than initially expected (absolute reduction of 12% vs. 34% in first comparative study) • Sample size/power issues • If true, still a clinically significant effect

  48. Summary • No dose-related effect in GAS TSS • In GAS NF, the benefits of IVIG are considerably less spectacular • Importance of surgical procedures

  49. List for Santa Claus • Severity score to identify patients who would benefit most of IVIG • Re-evaluation of IVIG dosage • Randomized controlled trial?
