Q

Chronic Osteomyelitis

-time frame

A
  • Delay in treating acute infection
  • Delay Abx until culture is obtain if no SIRS
  • Empiral is flucloxacillin
17
Q

Necrotising Fasciitis

  • Type 1
  • Type 2
A

Type 1: anaerobes and multiple bacteria

Type 2: flesh eating group A strep

18
Q

Treatment for Necrotising Fasciitis

A
  • Debridement

- Penicillin and Clindamycin

19
Q

Gas gangrene

  • Cause
  • Treatment
A
  • Spores into tissue from Clostridium Perfringes
  • Spores germinate and accumulation of gas bubble in tissue leads to gas “crepitus”
  • Urgent debridement and high dose penicillin and metronidazole
20
Q

Tetanus

  • Intubation period
  • Clinical features
  • Treatment
A
  • 4 days-several weeks
  • Locked jaw, muscle spasm, neurotoxin release
  • Surgical debridement, Abx and booster vaccination
