Intra articular Injection of Rifampin in Iranian Children with Haemophilic Arthropathy
Authors: not saved
Abstract:
Background:Chronic synovitis is one of the most important complications in haemophilic patients. Rifampin is anantibiotic which its intra-articular injecion leads to destruction of the synovial membrane of haemophilic patientsmedically.Materials and Methods: Between September 2003 and November 2005, we administered intra-articular rifampinin ١۶ haemophilic joints of ٨ haemophilic patients.Results:Median age of our patients was 14.5 year-old. There were 11 knee joints and 5 elbow joints. Atier treatmentwe observed significant improvement in treated joints.Conclusion:This study reveals that intra-articular injection of rifampin may improve arthropathy in haemophilicpatients.

full textHaemophilic arthropathy.
Haemophilia is a heredity disorder in which bleeding is due to deficiency of coagulation factor VIII. Haemophilia A is the second most common inherited coagulation disorder. Estimation of its incidence ranges from 1 in 20,000 to as high as 1 in 10,000 people. It is a classic example of x-linked recessive trait (1). The frequency and severity generally are related to the blood level of factor VI...
full textModern management of haemophilic arthropathy.
Currently available factor concentrates for treatment of patients with haemophilia are virally inactivated or are made by recombinant technology and their broad use in developed nations has resulted in the dramatic elimination of the treatment-related viral illnesses that decimated the haemophilia community in the late 20th century. The major morbidity experienced by patients with haemophilia t...
full textTotal Knee Replacement in Haemophilic Arthropathy
Eleven total knee replacements were performed in eight patients with severe haemophilia A and the patients were followed up for two to eight years. All the patients had disabling haemophilic arthropathy of one or both knees, which had not responded to conservative treatment. Postoperative complications occurred in 10 knees, including nose bleeding, haemarthrosis, anaphylactic reactions, urinary...
full textTotal knee replacement in haemophilic arthropathy.
The results of primary total knee replacement performed on a group of haemophiliac patients in a single institution by the same surgeon using the same surgical technique and prosthesis are reported. A total of 35 primary replacements in 30 patients were carried out between 1996 and 2005 and were reviewed retrospectively. The mean age of the patients was 31 years (24 to 42) and the mean follow-u...
full textThe pathogenesis of chronic haemophilic arthropathy.
Specimens of tissue from haemophilic synovium and articular cartilage were collected from 39 patients during reconstructive surgery. They were studied by histochemistry, electron microscopy and microprobe analysis. The detailed findings are presented and discussed. It is suggested that haemophilic arthropathy is the result of a number of mechanisms affecting the synovial lining which becomes pr...
