Pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis.

The clinical features of an infected finger flexor tendon sheath have changed dramatically since the pre-antibiotic time of Kanavel. The hand surgeon is encountering increasing numbers of gram-negative and mixed organism infections, especially in immunocompromised patients or those with comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus. The prognosis is directly related to the early recognition of the disease process and prompt surgical drainage and sheath irrigation, in combination with an appropriate antibiotic regimen. Despite appropriate management, some patients still develop significant complications. This possibility must be particularly recognized in diabetic and immunocompromised patient populations.

Multivalent inactivated virus oil emulsion vaccines in broiler breeder chickens. II. Trivalent vaccines in breeders not previously vaccinated with live Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease, and tenosynovitis vaccines.

Inactivated Newcastle disease (NDV), infectious bursal disease (IBDV), and viral arthritis/tenosynovitis (VA) viruses were incorporated into water-in-oil emulsion vaccines either alone, in bivalent combinations, or in a trivalent vaccine. Twenty-week-old broiler breeder chickens with no previous exposure to NDV, IBDV, or VA live virus vaccines were injected intramuscularly with the monovalent, bivalent, or trivalent vaccines. The antibody responses to NDV in all three vaccines were poor, and NDV-hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) never rose above 20 during the 40-week trial. The antibody response to IBDV showed a strong primary response 4 weeks after vaccination, but IBD-VN geometric mean titers declined steadily to less than 100 by 4 months after vaccination. The antibody GMTs to IBDV continued to decline for the remainder of the trial. The antibody response to VA virus was biphasic, with peak VA-virus neutralization (VN) geometric mean titers occurring at 3 months and 6 months postvaccination. The amplitude of the response to the monovalent, bivalent, and trivalent vaccines was inversely proportional to the number of antigens incorporated into each vaccine. Maternal antibody titers in the progeny against each of the three antigens reflected those of the parents. In no case were maternal antibody titers detectable beyond 14 days of age.

Capsular polysaccharide serotypes of coagulase-positive staphylococci associated with tenosynovitis, osteomyelitis, and other invasive infections in chickens and turkeys: evidence for new capsular types.

To study the role of capsular polysaccharides in staphylococcal infections in chickens and turkeys, we surveyed 101 coagulase-positive isolates obtained from investigators in geographically diverse locales in the United States and Canada. Fifty-six isolates were obtained from chickens; 51 (91%) were type 5, and 5 (9%) were type 8. Forty isolates were obtained from turkeys; 13 (33%) were type 5, 15 (38%) were type 8, and 12 (29%) were untypable. Five type 5 isolates were obtained from poultry of uncertain species. Two untypable turkey isolates were studied further. Rabbit serum obtained after immunization with formalin-killed staphylococci was type-specific as assessed by a tube agglutination test and promoted opsonophagocytosis of the isolate that had been used for immunization. Chromatography of carboxy-reduced capsular polysaccharide from one of the isolates suggested that mannoseaminouronic acid was present in the unreduced polysaccharide. The spectrum obtained by 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance suggested the presence of N-acetyl sugars such as mannoseaminouronic acid and 6-deoxy sugars such as N-acetyl fucosamine. The structure of the polysaccharide differed from that of the type 5 and type 8 capsular polysaccharides. Thus, poultry isolates can be classified into at least four serotypes on the basis of their capsular polysaccharides. This observation provides a new focus for investigation into the epidemiology and virulence determinants of this important pathogen in chickens and turkeys.

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome: ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool.

Remitting seronegative symmetrical synovitis with pitting edema (RS3PE) syndrome is characterized by symmetrical synovitis and swelling of both the upper and lower extremities. The anatomical determinant of RS3PE is predominantly extensor tenosynovitis as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Given the cost constraints, time, and expertise required in carrying out MRI and ease in diagnosing tenosynovitis by ultrasound, we utilized high-frequency ultrasonography (USG) for evidence of tenosynovitis of the distal tendons in patients with RS3PE. Diagnosis of tenosynovitis was made on the basis of anechoic or hypoechoic signals around the tendon sheaths in both transverse and longitudinal planes. Flexor and extensor tendons at the wrist and metacarpal heads and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) tendons at the ankle were evaluated with a 7.5-10-MHz linear probe. There were ten patients (seven males) with a mean age of 59.5 years (range: 52-78 years) and mean disease duration of 6.1 months (range: 1.5-12 months). Disease onset was acute in all of the cases. Pitting edema of the hands was present in all except two patients whereas four patients, in addition, had edema of the feet. Edema was symmetrical in seven patients. Inability to make a complete fist was noted in all. Tenosynovitis of extensor and flexor tendons at the wrist and the metacarpal heads was documented in all patients with edema of the hands. In seven cases extensor tendon tenosynovitis was more prominent compared to the flexor tendons. Tenosynovitis of EDL tendons was detected in six cases. Dramatic relief with low-dose prednisolone was noted in all patients within 6 weeks of therapy. At a mean follow-up of 10.1 months all patients had marked relief in edema of extremities and improvement in the grip strength. Our study confirms that tenosynovitis of both flexor and extensor tendons at the wrist and extensor tendons of the feet is the hallmark of RS3PE syndrome. USG is a reliable and cost-effective modality for evaluation of patients with suspected RS3PE.
