1 Osteomyelitis 2017 David Mushatt, M.D., M.P.H.&T.M. Associate Professor of Medicine Chief, Tulane Adult Infectious Diseases Section Categories of Osteomyelitis Acute vs. Chronic Vertebral Diabetic foot Osteomyelitis under pressure sores Septic joint Prosthetic joint 1

2 Acute vs. Chronic When does acute osteo become chronic? When necrotic bone develops Acute osteo is measured in days Chronic osteo is measured in days, weeks or years Lew and Waldvogel: Chronic = clinical signs of acute osteo for > 10 days Acute vs. Chronic Chronic Osteomyelitis Results from: Trauma Less frequently complication of acute hematogenous Sequestrum Necrotic bone fragment devoid of vascular supply Involucrum Rim of reactive new bone Formed by the periosteum around the sequestrum 2

3 Arrows = sequestrum Arrowheads = involucrum Acute vs. Chronic Chronic Osteomyelitis Complications: Secondary amyloidosis (< 1%) Squamous cell CA in scar tissue Probably < 1% In one series occurred after an average of 27 years of infection with drainage 3

8 Treatment Determinants of Outcome Acute vs. chronic Presence or absence of hardware Vascularization of site Intrinsic Muscle flap Vascular reconstruction Immune status of host Surgical debridement 8

9 Surgical Therapy for Chronic Osteomyelitis Surgical is primary Debride dead bone and soft tissue Restore vascular supply Muscle flap Peripheral re-vascularization Fill dead space Flap Bone graft: autologous or cadaveric Antibiotic impregnated beads or cement ABX must be heat stable Surgical Therapy for Chronic Osteomyelitis Extent of resection is key Oxford group allocated 50 pts to: Wide excision: > 5 mm clearance Marginal excision: < 5 mm clearance Intralesional bx: I + D only IV ABX for 6 wks then po x 6 wks Simpson et al.

13 Cochrane 2013 Selection Criteria RCTs or quasi-rcts Post-surgical debridement Search small trials Data from 248 participants Results Study quality/reporting often inadequate Almost all trials had moderate to high risk of bias due to failure to conceal allocation and inadequate follow-up 4 trials studied IV vs. PO Remission at EOT: RR 1.04 (no sig ) Remission at > 12 months (no sig ) AEs (no sig ) Treatment Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Antibiotic Therapy for Bone and Joint Infections Reviewed Medline, Embase, Cochrane databases Clinical trials databases, ICAAC abstracts, textbooks, pharmaceutical company data, unpublished data from experts, etc. Inclusion Criteria: Ideally blinded, placebo-controlled trials This would exclude most studies! Random or quasi-random allocation to treatment arms Primary Outcome Measure Quiescence of infection after 1 year of f/u Stengel D et al. Lancet Infectious Diseases

14 Treatment 22 trials with 927 patients were eligible 18 open-label, 4 double-blind Methodological quality was poor in most Limitations: Small sample sizes Missing descriptions of patients and disease Confounding by concomitant ABX was common Deep puncture or surgical tissue samples in only 7! Treatment Primary Outcome Control of infection after 1 year 78.6 % average (of 771 pts.) Bacteriological Eradication 77 % (454 cases) Adverse Events Available for 730 pts % (mainly mild) 10 had severe AEs Overall, no convincing advantages of one antimicrobial over another! 14

16 Duration of Treatment More an Art than Science 4-6 weeks IV is standard minimum IDSA MRSA guidelines say 8 weeks but based on 2 old studies of vertebral osteo! 2 wks IV then po? probably quinolones, metro, clinda po from the start? sure, why not follow ESR and CRP Treat until normalization?» Intercurrent illness, drug reactions and external fixators may delay fall in markers Duration of Treatment If good debridement 6 weeks If minimal or no debridement 2-4 months total, often with an oral phase If hardware 3-6 months or more include rifampin, quinolone 16

17 Treatment Is there once-a-day therapy for S. aureus? 31 pts with MSSA osteo at UCSF from Ceftriaxone 2g IV QD in 22/31 17/21 cured 3 ceftriaxone failures: all had necrotic bone Guglielmo et al.

18 Vertebral Osteomyelitis How Long to Treat? Paul Sax on Duration of ABX 18

19 The answer is that this is highly-specialized knowledge, rarefied information that only 100% Board-Certified, USDAinspected Infectious Diseases Doctors know To figure out how long antibiotics need to be given, use the following rules: 1.Choose a multiple of 5 (fingers of the hand) or 7 (days of the week). 2.Is it an outpatient problem that is relatively mild? If so, choose something less than 10 days. After application of our multiples rule, this should be 5 or 7 days. 3.Is it really mild, so much so that antibiotics probably aren t needed at all but clinician or patient are insistent? Break the 5/7 rule and go with 3 days. Ditto uncomplicated cystitis in young women. 4.Is it a serious problem that occurs in the hospital or could end up leading to hospitalization? With the exception of community-acquired pneumonia (5 or 7 days), 10 days is the minimum. 5.Patient not doing better at the end of some course of therapy? Extend treatment, again using a multiple of 5 or 7 days. 6.Does the infection involve a bone or a heart valve? Four weeks (28 days) at least, often 6 weeks (42 days). Note that 5 weeks (35 days) is not an option here the 5 s and 7 s cancel each other out, and chaos ensues. 7.The following lengths of therapy are inherently weird, and should generally be avoided: 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13 days. Also, days. 6 weeks not inferior to 12 wks Lancet 2015; 385:

33 Obtaining a bone specimen for culture (and histology, when available), is most likely to be justified when there is: 1. Uncertainty regarding the diagnosis of osteomyelitis despite clinical and imaging evaluations 2. An absence (or confusing mix) of culture data from soft tissue specimens 3. Failure of the patient to respond to empiric antibiotic therapy, or 4. A desire to use antibiotic agents that may be especially effective for osteomyelitis but have a high potential for selecting resistant organisms (eg, rifampin, fluoroquinolones). 33

38 Conclusions 1. Anaerobes may be involved in wounds that are deeper or more chronic 2. Anaerobes more frequently identified when using modern molecular techniques, such as 16s PCR and pyrosequencing 3. It remains unclear whether the presence of anaerobes in DFI leads to a) more severe manifestations b) or if these organisms are largely colonizers associated with the presence of greater degrees of tissue ischemia and necrosis 4. Adequate surgical debridement and, when needed, foot revascularization may be at least as important as the choice of antibiotic to achieve a successful treatment outcome What s New? 38
