- N. gonorrhoeae æè¥: ceftriaxone ä» first-line, but XDR strains emerging â surveillance important
- Prosthetic joint infection (PJI): rifampin add-on for staph crucial; DAIR (debride, antibiotic, implant retention) viable in early acute
- Lyme arthritis post-treatment (PTLDS): controversy on long-term symptoms; antibiotics not recommended beyond standard course
2ïžâ£ Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) Specialist
Classification
- Early (< 3 mo post-op): direct contamination at OR
- Delayed (3-12 mo): less virulent, indolent
- Late (> 12 mo): hematogenous (e.g., from dental, skin, UTI)
Treatment Strategies
- DAIR: 衚淺 acute, < 4 weeks symptom; antibiotic 6-12 wk
- One-stage revision: known organism + sensitivity + good soft tissue
- Two-stage revision (gold standard): explant â spacer + 6 weeks IV antibiotic â reimplant
- Permanent fusion / amputation: refractory
Antibiotic Highlights
- Rifampin add-on for Staphylococcus (penetrates biofilm)
- Combination: vancomycin + rifampin à 6 wk â PO suppression
- Long-term suppression for inoperable patients
