Abstract

Teicoplanin was used in three hospitals over 6 years in 112 cases of bone or joint infection and the results were reviewed retrospectively. Teicoplanin was used at a dose of 400 mg/day, after a 3-day loading regimen, in combination with other agents, usually netilmicin at the beginning of the treatment. Most infections were chronic (mean duration = 20.9 months) and had failed previous antibiotic or surgical treatment. Gram-positive organisms were isolated in 120/137 identified strains (64 methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or coagulase négative Staphylococci) and all were susceptible to teicoplanin except one (intermediate for NCCLS norms). Median of follow-up was 17.3 months. The final outcome was clinical cure in 89/98 evaluable cases (91%). There were one improvement, four failures and four recurrences. Adverse events occurred in 11 patients (10%) but did not require any change in treatment. Despite the limitations of a retrospective study, teicoplanin appeared to be effective, well tolerated and easy to use with only one daily injection.RéSUMé: Une étude rétrospective, non comparative, de l'utilisation de la teicoplanine sur 112 cas d'infection ostéo-articulaire pendant 6 ans dans trois hopitaux Français est rapportée. La teicoplanine a été utilisée à la dose de 400 mg/j, après une dose de charge de 3 jours, en association avec d'autres antibiotiques (le plus souvent la netilmycine en début de traitement). Ces infections étaient chroniques (durée d'évolution moyenne de 20,9 mois) et avaient déjà fait l'objet de traitements antérieurs médicaux ou chirurgicaux. Cent vingt cocci gram positif étaient retrouvés sur les 137 souches isolées (64Staphylococus Aureus ou Epidermidis résistant à la methicillin) et tous sauf une (intermédiaire selon les normes NCCLS) étaient sensibles à la teicoplanine. Après une durée de suivi moyenne à 17,3 mois, 89 des 98 cas evaluables (91 %) étaient considérés comme guéris. On retrouvait également 1 amélioration, 4 échecs et 4 récurrences. Un effet secondaire a été noté chez 11 patients (10 %) mais n'a jamais necessité un changement de traitement témoignant ainsi de la bonne tolérance observée avec cette molécule facile à utiliser gràce à une seule injection par jour.
