RESUMEN

PURPOSE: While tuberculosis remains a significant global health concern, prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex are exceptionally rare. Our objective is to perform a retrospective search of new cases of this disease and analyze all cases available in the literature of tuberculous PJIs, aiming to detect factors that may influence patient outcomes. METHODS: The ESGIAI and ESGMYC study groups were used to collect information on non-published cases of tuberculous prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Additionally, a literature review of all published cases of tuberculous PJIs was conducted. All identified cases in the retrospective study and in the literature review were merged and included in the statistical analysis, involving both univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Fifteen previously unreported cases of tuberculous prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) from four countries were detailed. Among them, ten patients were female, with a median age of 76 years. The hip was affected in 13 cases. Seven patients experienced co-infection with another microorganism. Treatment approaches varied, with 13 patients undergoing implant removal, one treated with DAIR (debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention), and one case was treated with an unknown treatment method. All patients received antibiotic therapy and achieved a cure. The literature review that was conducted detected 155 published cases. Univariate analysis revealed a statistical significance for previous tuberculosis, joint, and no importance of surgery for cure. CONCLUSIONS: Tuberculous prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a rare condition, typically presenting as a localized chronic infection. Antibiotic treatment is essential for the management of these patients, but neither surgical treatment nor duration of treatment seems to have importance in the outcome.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) bone and joint infections (BJIs) are uncommon. We evaluated the characteristics of BJIs and identified differences according to immune status. METHODS: We performed a multicenter retrospective study in France involving patients with documented NTM BJI over a 9-year period. We collected the clinical and microbiological characteristics, management, and clinical outcomes of the patients. RESULTS: Overall, 95 patients were included, of whom 50.5% (48/95) were immunosuppressed. Tenosynovitis was more frequent in the immunocompetent group, and native arthritis more common in the immunosuppressed group. Mycobacerium marinum and M. abscessus complex were significantly more frequent in the immunocompetent group, and M. avium and M. xenopi were significantly more frequent in the immunosuppressed group. The combination of antibiotherapy with surgery tended to be more frequent in the immunocompetent than the immunosuppressed group (63.8% (30/47) vs 47.8% (22/46), respectively); of the latter, 45.7% (21/46) received antimicrobial therapy alone, a higher frequency than in the immunocompetent group (23.4%, 11/47). The median duration of antimicrobial treatment was similar in the two groups (11 months). Mortality was significantly higher in the immunosuppressed group. CONCLUSIONS: Although the clinical presentations and the NTM species involved in BJI differed according to immune status, most recovered completely after treatment.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) are an effective treatment used in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. Despite a well-tolerated safety profile, infectious events appear to be frequent in clinical trials. Real-world data on epidemiology, characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes of infections in patients treated with BsAb are still needed. METHODS: A retrospective, multicentre study in BsAb-treated patients with multiple myeloma was performed in 14 French centres from December 2020 to February 2023. The primary objective was to describe the incidence of infections that required hospitalization, specific treatment, or adaptation in BsAb administration. RESULTS: Among 229 patients with multiple myeloma treated with BsAb, 153 (67%) received teclistamab, 47 (20%) received elranatamab, and 29 (13%) talquetamab. We reported a total of 234 infections, including 123 (53%) of grade of ≥3. Predominant infections affected the respiratory tract (n = 116, 50%) followed by bacteraemias (n = 36, 15%). The hospitalization rate was 56% (n = 131), and 20 (9%) infections resulted in death. Global cumulative incidence of the first infection was 70% in all patients, 73% in patients treated with B-cell maturation antigen-targeting, and 51% with GPRC5D-targeting BsAb. In univariate analyses, corticosteroids for cytokine release syndrome (CRS)/immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were associated with a higher risk of first infection (HR = 2.13; 95% CI, 1.38-3.28), whereas GPRC5D-targeting BsAb and anti-bacterial prophylaxis were associated with a lower risk (HR = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.3-0.94 and HR = 0.65; 95% CI, 0.46-0.9). Fine and Gray multivariate model found that only corticosteroids for CRS/ICANS were correlated with a higher risk of first infection (HR = 2.01; 95% CI, 1.27-3.19). DISCUSSIONS: The implementation of preventive measures that aim to mitigate the risk of infection under BsAb is pivotal, notably in patients who received corticosteroids for CRS/ICANS.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to describe diagnostic, management, and outcome of bone flap-related osteomyelitis after cranioplasty. METHODS: Patients followed up in our tertiary care hospital for bone flap-related osteomyelitis after cranioplasty were included in a retrospective cohort (2008-2021). Determinants of treatment failure were assessed using logistic regression and Kaplan-Meier curves analysis. RESULTS: The 144 included patients (81 [56.3%] males; median age 53.4 [interquartile range [IQR], 42.6-62.5] years) mostly presented wound abnormalities (n = 115, 79.9%). All infections were documented, the main pathogens being Staphylococcus aureus (n = 64, 44.4%), Cutibacterium acnes (n = 57, 39.6%), gram-negative bacilli (n = 40, 27.8%) and/or non-aureus staphylococci (n = 34, 23.6%). Surgery was performed in 140 (97.2%) cases, for bone flap removal (n = 102, 72.9%) or debridement with flap retention (n = 31, 22.1%), along with 12.7 (IQR, 8.0-14.0) weeks of antimicrobial therapy. After a follow-up of 117.1 (IQR, 62.5-235.5) weeks, 37 (26.1%) failures were observed: 16 (43.2%) infection persistence, three (8.1%) relapses, 22 (59.5%) superinfections and/or two (1.7%) infection-related deaths. Excluding superinfections, determinants of the 19 (13.4%) specific failures were an index craniectomy for brain tumor (odds ratio = 4.038, P = 0.033) and curettage of bone edges (odds ratio = 0.342, P = 0.048). CONCLUSION: Post-craniectomy bone flap osteomyelitis are difficult-to-treat infection, necessitating prolonged antimicrobial therapy with appropriate surgical debridement, and advocating for multidisciplinary management in dedicated reference centers.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: Nocardiosis is a rare opportunistic infection that is frequently associated with dissemination (i.e. involvement of several body sites). Identifying the factors associated with Nocardia spp. dissemination may help improving the management of patients with nocardiosis. METHODS: This 10-year (2010-2020) retrospective multicenter cohort study included adult patients with Nocardia-confirmed infections. The first objective was to determine the factors associated with disseminated nocardiosis. The secondary endpoints were to determine and compare the management and the 12-month overall mortality in patients with localized and disseminated nocardiosis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used. RESULTS: Nocardia spp. infection was confirmed in 110 patients, of whom 38 (34.5%) had disseminated nocardiosis. In univariate analysis, the factors associated with dissemination were immunosuppressive conditions: having an auto-immune disease and receiving high-dose corticosteroid (31.5% vs 8.3%, P = 0.003 and 52.6% vs 26.3%, P = 0.007, respectively). Absolute lymphocyte count <1 G/L at diagnosis was the only biomarker associated with dissemination (57.2% vs 26.3%, P = 0.007). Nocardia farcinica was not only the most frequent species identified in patient specimens (n = 22, 20%) but was also associated with a higher rate of dissemination (36.8% vs 11.1%, P = 0.002). Multivariate analysis confirmed the association between auto-immune diseases, lymphopenia, N. farcinica species and the higher rate of dissemination. Even though patients with disseminated nocardiosis were treated longer and more often with an antibiotic combination therapy, their 12-month overall mortality was significantly higher than that of patients with localized nocardiosis (36.8% vs 18%). CONCLUSIONS: Dissemination of Nocardia spp. is favoured by auto-immune diseases, lymphopenia, and infection with N. farcinica.
