Filter by:Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the pathophysiology of chronic staphylococcal BJI, including biofilm formation and the ability of staphylococci to be internalized and to survive within cells. The intracellular localization of staphylococci is well documented by in vitro studies, however, few studies have shown the presence of intracellular staphylococci in clinical specimens from patients with BJI. The aim of the CRISBO study is to document the clinical relevance of intracellular staphylococci in the context of BJI. Immunostaining targeting staphylococci and components will be carried out on tissue samples taken from patients with BJI during their treatment (samples similar to those used for routine diagnosis in pathology). Our objectives are to identify whether intracellular staphylococci are observable in these samples and if so, in which cell type (s) are they housed.
Diagnostic Validation Study of a Test Based on the Analysis of the Proteome by Mass Spectrometry for the Diagnosis of Septic Arthritis in Children Under 16 Years of Age
Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative staphylococcus belonging to the human commensal cutaneous flora, and has been little studied in the field of prosthetic joint infections. However, it shares many virulence traits with Staphylococcus aureus, including many adhesins and its ability to form biofilm, and the few series of cases reports a significant failure rate.
To study the diagnostic performance of infrared spectroscopy on fresh synovial fluids in early septic arthritis diagnosis in patients with acute joint effusion
Development and validation of a simple diagnostic tool predictive of the aseptic character of joint effusion in the primary care setting.
The empirical use of vancomycin in combination with a broad-spectrum beta-lactam is currently recommended after the initial surgery of prosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, the tolerability of such high-dose intravenous regimens is poorly known. T
Cephamycin related to 2nd generation cephalosporins, the use of cefoxitin has long been limited to antibiotic prophylaxis. Because of its spectrum (sensitive staphylococci, enterobacteria including ESBL, streptococci, anaerobes), its stability and its low cost, it could be useful in curative bone and joint infections, especially in case of infection polymicrobial disease in patients for whom antibiotic alternative per os is limited.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a blood test: Karius® plasma-based next-generation sequencing test (Karius Test), to see if we can detect and measure the infection causing agent in children with musculoskeletal infections (MSKI).
Multi-centre clinical follow-up study on patients with a history of acute haematogenous osteomyelitis and/or septic arthritis. The aim is to describe the frequency of sequelae in these former patients with osteoarticular infections. Patients will be invited to participate in a single follow-up visit including a standardised interview and a clinical examination. The collected data will be analyzed together with data from the patient's hospital stay.
