Evaluation of the Use of Cefoxitin in Combination in Continuous Parenteral Administration in the Treatment of Bone and Joint Infections

February 20, 2019 updated by: Eugénie MABRUT, Hospices Civils de Lyon
Cephamycin related to 2nd generation cephalosporins, the use of cefoxitin has long been limited to antibiotic prophylaxis. Because of its spectrum (sensitive staphylococci, enterobacteria including ESBL, streptococci, anaerobes), its stability and its low cost, it could be useful in curative bone and joint infections, especially in case of infection polymicrobial disease in patients for whom antibiotic alternative per os is limited.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
bone and joint infection treated with cefoxitin
patients having had a bone or joint infection treated by cefoxitin in combination. Cefoxitin has been administered by continuous way, at home. A serum dosage of cefoxitin has been systematically achieved at equilibrium.

Time Frame: Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption
Treatment failure is defined by local clinical and/or microbiological relapse; and/or need for additional surgery; death of septic origin
Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption
