8 What is the role of clindamycin? Consider for invasive group A strep infections Clindamycin: Decreases toxin synthesis Acts on organisms in stationary phase of growth (when concentrations of PBPs) Clinical data: retrospective, unblinded study: Use of protein synthesis inhibitor as part of their regimen had a significantly better outcome for deep soft tissue infections Wong CH. J of Bone and Joint Surg Zimberlam J. Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 1999; 18(2): IVIG May bind toxin Limited clinical data in streptococcal TSS One retrospective study: maybe some benefit? Small RCT organ failure scores at 2, 3 days, no mortality benefit at 28 days How to extrapolate to necrotizing fasciitis? Hyperbaric O 2 Inhibit infection (esp anaerobic, e.g. clostridia), augment leukocyte killing Conflicting data, no clear morbidity or mortality benefit Most benefit likely in clostridial infection Early surgical consult/ intervention Empiric antimicrobial therapy Piperacillin/tazobactam or carbapenem (group A strep, other gram pos, gram negs and anaerobes) plus Clindamycin (group A strep toxin inhibition) plus Vancomycin (MRSA) Kaul R.

Animal Evaluation and disposure of animal Post-exposure prophylaxis Clean Wound Dog, cats, ferrets If healthy retain for 10 days of observation Do not begin prophylaxis unless animal rabid or suspected rabid Clean thoroughly with soap & water, irrigate with povidone-iodine Rabies Immune Globulin Rabid or suspected rabid Immediately vaccinate Administer 20 IU/kg body weight Skunk, raccoons, foxes, bats Livestock, small rodents rabbits and hares, large rodents (woodchucks, beavers) Unknown (e.g. escaped) Regarded as rabid unless proven negative by lab test Consider individually Consult with public health Consider immediate vaccination Consult public health. Bites from guinea pigs, gerbils, chipmunks, rats, mice, rabbits almost never require prophylaxis If anatomically feasible, the full dose should be infiltrated into and around the wound(s) and any remaining volume should be administered IM at an anatomical site distant from vaccine administration.

13 Coccidioides immitis Superficial thrombophlebitis and deep venous thrombosis Contact dermatitis Insect stings/tick bites Drug reactions Gouty arthritis Sweet syndrome Foreign body reaction (e.g. surgical mesh, orthopedic implants) Lymphedema Malignancy (e.g. T-cell lymphoma) Drainage/ debridement is the mainstay of therapy of all purulent skin and soft tissue infections. For purulent SSTI requiring antibiotic therapy, cover for CA-MRSA. For non-purulent cellulitis, cover for β-hemolytic strep ± CA-MRSA. Amoxicillin/ clavulanate is drug of choice for prophylaxis following dog, cat, and human bites. For patients not responding to standard antibiotic therapy for SSTI, consider alternative diagnoses (e.g. unusual infections, noninfectious etiologies), BIOPSY for culture and pathology.
