Periprostetic Joint Infection Caused by Salmonella: Case Reports of Two Azathioprine and Prednisolone Induced-immunocompromised Patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) due to Salmonella is rare. It frequently occurs patients receiving immunosuppressive medicine. We describe two periprosthetic Salmonella infection of two immunocompromised patients. Both of patients were receiving azathioprine and prednisolone therapy. First patient presented six years after total hip arthroplasty with a huge abscess on her right thigh that was reached to femoral component through the lytic area of lateral femur. Second patient presented with drainage from his hip and he had undergone two-step revision surgery for PJI 3 months ago. There is no consensus in the treatment of periprosthetic salmonella infections. We prefer two-step revision surgery for these infections as previously described in the literature.

متن کاملDapsone as a second glucocorticoid-sparing agent in addition to azathioprine in treatment of pemphigus vulgaris
Background and aim: Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune vesiculobullous disorder. Prior to the advent of glucocorticoid therapy, it was often fatal. Now its mortality and morbidity is due to highdose glucocorticoid complications rather than the disease itself. This study was aimed to determine the effect of dapsone as a second adjuvant in the treatment of pemphigus vulgaris.Materials and method...

متن کاملPig model mimicking chronic hepatitis E virus infection in immunocompromised patients to assess immune correlates during chronicity.
Chronic hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a significant clinical problem in immunocompromised individuals such as organ transplant recipients, although the mechanism remains unknown because of the lack of an animal model. We successfully developed a pig model of chronic HEV infection and examined immune correlates leading to chronicity. The conditions of immunocompromised patients were mimic...
