Gentamicin and tobramycin penetration into synovial fluid.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The penetration of gentamicin and tobramycin into the synovial fluid of 12 patients with nontraumatic joint effusions was studied. Simultaneous serum and synovial fluid specimens taken after the intramuscular or intravenous administration of an antimicrobial agent were assayed. Synovial fluid levels of antibiotic were >50% of serum levels in all subjects studied. In five patients, synovial fluid levels were equal to or exceeded simultaneous serum values. These results suggest that intra-articular injection of aminoglycoside antibiotics is not necessary in the treatment of infectious arthritis.

Levels of carbenicillin, ticarcillin, cephalothin, cefazolin, cefamandole, gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin in human serum and interstitial fluid.
The ability of eight antibiotics (carbenicillin, ticarcillin, cefamandole, cephalothin, cefazolin, gentamicin, tobramycin, and amikacin) to enter human interstitial fluid was evaluated by the skin window technique. All of the antibiotics tested, except cefazolin, which has the highest percentage of protein binding, diffused into the interstitial fluid quite well. This study confirms our previou...

OBJECTIVE To determine synovial concentrations of morphine after intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) with morphine or morphine in combination with gentamicin in clinically healthy, standing sedated horses. STUDY DESIGN Experimental. ANIMALS Adult horses (n = 6). METHODS IVRLP was performed using 0.1 mg/kg morphine (M) in standing sedated horses. After a 3-week washout period, IVRL...
متن کاملPenetration of antimicrobial agents into the prostate.
In the present review article, the penetration of antimicrobial agents into prostatic fluid and tissue was examined. Three major factors determining the diffusion and concentration of antimicrobial agents in prostatic fluid and tissue are the lipid solubility, dissociation constant (pKa) and protein binding. The normal pH of human prostatic fluid is 6.5-6.7, and it increases in chronic prostati...
متن کاملComparative penetration of amikacin, gentamicin, and penicillin g into exudate fluid in experimental sterile peritonitis.
Using a rabbit sterile peritonitis model, we compared the penetration of intravenously administered amikacin, gentamicin, and penicillin G into peritoneal exudate. Peritonitis was induced with sterile normal saline, and the peritoneal exudate contained 23,751 +/- 3,039 granulocytes 8 h later. Antibiotics were administered intravenously 3 h after initiating peritonitis, and serum and peritoneal ...

Penetration of linezolid into osteo-articular tissue and fluid was studied in 10 patients undergoing primary total knee replacement. Linezolid 600 mg 12 hourly was given orally over the 48 h before operation and intravenously 1 h before induction of anaesthesia. Mean concentrations of linezolid at 90 min after the final dose, in serum, synovial fluid, synovium, muscle and cancellous bone, assay...
