T 36.9 BP 118/70 P 82 Case 1 What is the appropriate management of this pa1ent? A. Incision and drainage alone B. Incision and drainage plus oral an1- MRSA an1microbial agent C. Oral an1- MRSA an1microbial agent 1

2 Abscesses Incision and drainage is the primary treatment (AII). For simple abscesses or boils, I&D alone likely adequate Do an1bio1cs provide addi1onal benefit? Mul1ple, observa1onal studies: high cure rates with or without abx 3 RCTs of uncomplicated skin abscesses; 2 large NIH trials pending Is clinical cure the only important endpoint? Development of recurrent lesions Clinical cure p=.25 p=.12 p=.52 cephalexin TMP-SMX TMP-SMX p=.04 p=.58 p=.02 1 Rajendran AAC 2007; 2 Duong Ann Emerg Med 2009; 3 Schmitz G Ann Emerg Med 2010 Duong Ann Emerg Med 2009 ;Schmitz G Ann Emerg Med 2010; Talan Ann Em Med 2010; Spellburg Ann Em Med 2011 An1bio1c therapy is recommended for abscesses associated with: Severe, extensive disease, rapidly progressive with associated celluli1s or sep1c phlebi1s Signs & sx of systemic illness Associated comorbidi1es, immunosuppressed Extremes of age Difficult to drain area (e.g. face, hand, genitalia) Failure of prior I&D (AIII) Liu CID 2011; 52: Microbiology of Purulent SSTIs: ER Pa1ents viridans strep; 2% coag neg staph; 6% B- hemoly3c strep; 2% MSSA 16% other/ unknown, 15% MRSA 59% Moran NEJM 2006; Talan CID

3 Purulent Celluli1s Celluli1s associated with purulent drainage or exudate without a drainable abscess Empiric Rx for CA- MRSA is recommended (AII). Empiric Rx for β- hemoly1c strep unlikely needed (AII). Dura1on of therapy: 5-10 days, individualize based on clinical response Outpa1ent purulent celluli1s: Empiric Rx for CA- MRSA Drug Adult Dose Comments TMP/SMX 1-2 DS BID - Very low rates of resistance - MRSA & MSSA - Unreliable for group A strep Doxycycline, Minocycline Clindamycin 100 BID - Low resistance - MRSA & MSSA - - Unreliable for group A strep TID - MRSA, MSSA, & group A strep - Excellent 1ssue & abscess penetra1on - C. difficile risk Linezolid 600 BID - MRSA, MSSA, & group A strep - Most expensive op1on Liu CID 2011; 52: year old woman with erythema of her le) foot x 48 hours. No purulent drainage, exudate or abscess. Case 2 T 37.0 BP 132/70 P 78 Eells SJ et al Epidemiology and Infec1on 2010 What is the appropriate management of this pa1ent? A. Clindamycin 300 mg PO 1d B. Cephalexin 500 mg QID, monitor clinically with addi1on of TMP/SMX if no response C. Cephalexin 500 mg QID and TMP/ SMX 2 DS tab PO bid 3

4 Nonpurulent Celluli1s: β- hemoly1c strep vs. staph? Empiric Rx for β- hemoly1c strep recommended (AII) Prospec1ve study 1, 248 hospitalized pts 73% due to β- hemoly1c strep (diagnosis by serologies for ASO and an1- DNAse- B, blood cultures); 27% with no iden1fied cause. Overall 96% response rate to β- lactam an1bio1c (cefazolin, oxacillin, cephalexin, dicloxacillin). Retrospec1ve study 2 treatment failures with TMP- SMX vs. β- lactam or clindamycin The role of CA- MRSA is unknown. Empiric Rx for MRSA if fails to respond to β- lactam Outpa1ent nonpurulent celluli1s: Empiric Rx for β- hemoly1c streptococci, +/- MRSA Drug Cephalexin Dicloxacillin Clindamycin* Linezolid* *Also have ac1vity against MSSA and MRSA Adult Dose 500 QID 500 QID TID 600 BID 1 Jeng et al Medicine 2010; 2 EllioV et al Pediatrics 2009; Liu CID 2011; 52: Microbiology of SSTI: Hospitalized Pa1ents An1microbial Usage 322 hospitalized pa1ents with celluli1s, abscess, complicated SSTI 97% of cases had S. aureus or Streptococcus spp. 74% S. aureus or Streptococcus ONLY Enterococci 3% Jenkins CID 2010; 51: Jenkins CID 2010; 51:

MRSA) and streptococci are the dominant pathogens in hospitalized pts with SSTI Broad- spectrum gram nega1ve and anaerobic agent use very common but unnecessary in most cases Shorter dura1ons of therapy (7 days) likely adequate Jenkins Arch Intern Med 2011; 171: Jenkins CID 2010; 51:
