Tigecycline is one of the most effective agents used to treat XDR-AB infections, but data from treating bloodstream infection (BSI) in standard dose do not look promising, because of its low plasma concentration. Secondary BSI with primary infection source may indicate tigecycline treatment with a higher dose. Currently, little is known about the application of high-dose tigecycline among patients with secondary BSI caused by XDR-AB. We aimed to investigate the outcomes for high-dose (HD) tigecycline treatment versus standard-dose (SD) treatment of these patients.Methods: An observational cohort study was conducted at four university affiliated hospitals in mainland China. Adult inpatients who were confirmed as having secondary BSI caused by XDR-AB and received definitive tigecycline treatment were consecutively included. Patients who were treated with 50 mg every 12 h were defined as the SD group, and a twice dose was defined as the HD group.Results: Of the enrolled patients, 63 received SD and 88 received HD tigecycline treatment. Patients in the two groups had similar with regard to baseline clinical conditions. The 30-day survival was affected by the source of the primary infection. Survival was significantly better in patients with non-pulmonary-infection-related BSI than in patients with pulmonary-infection-related BSI. Multivariate Cox regression confirmed that HD had a protective effect only observed in patients with non-pneumonia-related BSI.Conclusion: A tigecycline dose that is twice its standard dose is better for the treatment of XDR-AB infection only in BSI associated with non-pulmonary infection.Keywords: Acinetobacter baumannii, bloodstream infection, extensively drug-resistant, tigecycline, high-dose
