infections of bone and joint Flashcards
two examples
osteomyelitis and septic arthritis
osteomyelitis
bone infection, inflamation>necrosis.
acute vs chronic osteom.
acute- healthy viable bone chronic- necrosis
pathophys osteom.
hematogenous (bacteremia, slow flow), or contagious (vascular insufficiency, soft tissue origin)
diagnosis of osteomyelitis
HX, inflam, decreased ROM, drainage, sinus tract, chronic wound. Image (MRI best), biopsy
pathogens common for OM,
usually s aures, strep in neonate, mixed in DM
special pathogens
salmonella (sickle cell), m tuberculosis (primary infection, hemat. spread), pasturella (cat), fungi (IV infection, immunosuppressed
injection drug users and OM
skin/water/saliva contaminants. s aures/epi, sued, strep/anaerobes, yeast
treat OM
bactericidal ABx, 6 weeks IV, decrease DM/nicotine/pressure, surgery: decried, revasc, amputate.
septic arthritis path
hemat, direct, contagious
septic arthritis pathogens
s aures, strep, gohnorea
septic arthritis diag
only 50% have positive future!
treat Septic A
s aures- oxucollin, NG- ceftriaxone
