The long-term outcome of compliance with standard treatment recommendations for Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia was assessed. Cases of S. aureus bacteremia at our institution over a 2-y period were reviewed and follow-up performed by review of subsequent admissions or contact with primary care physicians. We encountered 226 cases (age 64.7+/-15.8 y) and most (171/226, 75.7%) had no removable source. In-hospital mortality rate was 32.7% (74/226). Follow-up of 104/152 (68.4%) survivors (for 386.7+/-449.8 d) revealed 23.1% (24/104) relapses: recurrent bacteremia (n = 19), distant site (n = 3) and local recurrence ( n =2). Most relapses (21/24; 87.5%) occurred within 90 d of therapy. Relapse rate was higher with vancomycin treatment (20/48 vs. 4/56; p < 0.001), bacteremia for greater than or equal to 3 d (9/20 vs. 15/84; p = 0.001), and failure to remove the source (6/7 vs. 6/22; p = 0.006). Vancomycin effect was independent of oxacillin susceptibility. Treatment for less than the standard 2-week duration among 19 patients with short duration of bacteremia (
