RESUMEN
Objetivo: Describir la experiencia clínica con dalbavancina en el tratamiento de la infección de pie diabético en una unidad multidisciplinar de un hospital de segundo nivel. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de pacientes con infección de pie diabético tratados con dalbavancina en la Unidad de Pie Diabético del Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón de septiembre de 2016 a diciembre de 2019. Se recogieron parámetros demográficos y comorbilidades, características de la infección y del tratamiento con dalbavancina. Se estimó la tasa de curación a los 90 días tras finalizar el tratamiento. Resultados: Un total de 23 pacientes con infección de pie diabético (osteomielitis) fueron tratados con dalbavancina; 19 eran hombres con una edad media de 65 años. Los microorganismos más frecuentemente aislados fueron Staphylococcus aureus (11) y Corynebacterium striatum (7). En 22 casos se usó dalbavancina como terapia de segunda elección, en 11 debido a toxicidad de otros antibióticos. La mediana de duración del tratamiento fue de 5 (4-7) semanas; la dosis más frecuente de dalbavancina (8 pacientes) fue de 1.000mg seguido de 500mg semanales durante 5 semanas. Tres pacientes presentaron efectos secundarios leves (náuseas y molestias gastrointestinales). A los 90 días de finalizar el tratamiento, el 87% (20) de los pacientes se curaron (IC95%: 65,2-94,52%). Conclusión: Los pacientes con osteomielitis por microorganismos grampositivos que recibieron como parte del tratamiento multidisciplinar antibioterapia con dalbavancina tuvieron una elevada tasa de curación, con una adecuada tolerancia y escasos efectos secundarios. Dalbavancina ofrece una alternativa segura en el tratamiento de la infección profunda de pie diabético.(AU)
Objective: To describe the clinical experience with dalbavancin in the treatment of diabetic foot infection in a multidisciplinary unit of a second level hospital. Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study was made with all patients with diabetic foot infection treated with dalbavancin in the Diabetic Foot Unit of Hospital Universitario Fundación Alcorcón, covering the period from September 2016 to December 2019. Demographic parameters and comorbidities, characteristics of the infection and treatment with dalbavancin were recorded. The cure rate was estimated at 90 days after finishing the treatment. Results: A total of 23 patients with diabetic foot infection (osteomyelitis) started treatment with dalbavancin, 19 were men and the mean age was 65 years. The microorganisms most frequently isolated for the indication of treatment with dalbavancin were Staphylococcus aureus (11) and Corynebacterium striatum (7). Dalbavancin was used as a second choice therapy in 22 cases, in 11 due to toxicity from other antibiotics. The median duration of treatment was 5 (4-7) weeks; the most frequent dose of dalbavancin (8 patients) was 1000mg followed by 500mg weekly for 5 weeks. 3 patients presented mild side effects (nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort). At 90 days after completion of dalbavancin therapy, 87% (20) of the patients were cured (95% CI: 65.2%-94.52%). Conclusion: Patients with osteomyelitis due to gram-positive microorganisms who received as part of the multidisciplinary antibiotic treatment with dalbavancin, had a high rate of cure with adequate tolerance and few side effects. Dalbavancin offers a safe alternative in treating deep diabetic foot infection.(AU)

The aspiration of barium contrast is a rare complication that may occur during studies of the digestive tract. Barium is an inert material that can cause anywhere from an asymptomatic mechanical obstruction to serious symptoms of respiratory distress that can result in patient death. We present the case of a 79-year-old male patient in whom we observed the presence of contrast medium residue in the lung parenchyma as an incidental finding during hospitalization. When the patient's medical file was reviewed, images were found of a barium swallow study that the patient had undergone months earlier, and we were able to observe the exact moment of the aspiration of the contrast material. The patient had been asymptomatic since the test.
