Eikenella corrodens in hand infections.

E J Goldstein, M F Barones, T A Miller

    The Journal of Hand Surgery
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Empiric antibiotic therapy for Eikenella corrodens hand infections is crucial. Proper treatment, including penicillinase-resistant penicillin or cephalosporin with penicillin G, prevents complications and ensures good recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Infectious Diseases
    • Hand Surgery
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Eikenella corrodens is a pathogen that can cause hand infections.
    • Hand infections require prompt and appropriate antibiotic therapy.

    Observation:

    • A study reviewed 21 patients with hand infections caused by Eikenella corrodens.
    • Patients receiving ineffective empiric therapy had a higher rate of complications.

    Findings:

    • Effective empiric antibiotic therapy, including penicillinase-resistant penicillin or cephalosporin combined with penicillin G, was associated with favorable outcomes.
    • Aerobic and anaerobic cultures are recommended for all hand wounds.

    Implications:

    • Appropriate empiric antibiotic selection is critical for managing Eikenella corrodens hand infections.
    • This approach can reduce complications and improve patient recovery.
    • Guidelines for antibiotic therapy in hand infections should consider Eikenella corrodens.
