Trish Peel from πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ¨πŸ¦˜ : ASAP trial of Abx prophylaxis for prosthetic joint surgery. #ECCMID2023 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31685516/
Inc. rates of MRSA and MR-S. epi , need to add glycopeptide to prophylaxis? Needed an RCT. Double blinded superiority RCT undergoing joint replacement / revision surgery. Imbedded staphylococcal carriage study (nasal/skin swabs); primary outcome SSI up to 90d
Sample size 4320 pts based on 5% vs 3% risk (i.e 2% reduction with intervention); COVID disrupted a bit; slightly high MRSA carriage in placebo; knee surgery infection 3.7% vs 5.7% in placebo vs. vanco (RR 1.52; 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 2.23; p value 0.031)
No difference in pooled analysis of all types of surgery; inc risk of adverse events with vancomycin. Note low prevalence of MRSA overall however (~30% MSSA colonised)

#ECCMID2023 Tom Harrison, keynote masterclass in the management in cryptococcal meningitis: how a wood-rot fungus leads to such serious disease; major burden of disease, >100,000 deaths /year, 19% of AIDS related death, >60% mortality in the past Image
No dec. in cases in Sub-Saharan Africa outside SA, despite ART; IDSA standard of 2w AmpB + 5-FC based on studies from 1990s e.g. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… but AmpB is hard to find in many countries, needs IV, hard to administer and monitor - Flucon monotherapy not as effective Image
Fluconazole just has much less early fungicidal activity vs AmpB - not helped much with higher doses, seem 1200mg or if adding 5-FC does approach efficacy of AmpB and possible improved survival - helps prevents flucon-R emergence via heteroresistance (@DrNeilStone !) ImageImage
