No results posted yet for this study

Summary

For patients having a bone or joint infections, with or without device, optimal surgical therapy could be sometimes non-feasible, especially in the elderly population. Therefore, a medical therapy with oral prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy (PSAT) seems to be an option to prevent recurrence and prosthesis loosening.

Subcutaneous (SC) administration of injectable intravenous antibiotics as prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy could be a convenient way when oral treatment is not available to facilitate ambulatory care, this practice being considered as routine care.

The aim of this study is to evaluate tolerance and efficacy of subcutaneous administration of antibiotics for prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy in patients having this treatment as part of their routine care.
