Antithrombin Iii Deficiency

SummaryAntithrombin III (ATIII) deficiency is one of the few known abnormalities of the coagulation system known to predispose to venous thromboembolism but its relation to arterial disease is not established. We describe two related patients with this disorder, both of whom suffered arterial thrombotic events, at an early age. Both patients had other potential risk factors, though these would normally be considered unlikely to lead to such catastrophic events at such an age. Thrombosis due to ATIII deficiency is potentially preventable, and this diagnosis should be sought more frequently in patients with arterial thromboembolism, particularly if occurring at a young age. In addition, in patients with known ATIII deficiency, other risk factors for arterial disease should be eliminated, if possible. In particular, these patients should be counselled against smoking.

Periprosthetic Knee Infection

AbstractPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is suspected when local findings such as pain, swelling, hyperthermia, and sinus tract are present. However, the frequency of these findings and the difference between hip and knee are unclear. This study compared the positive rates of local findings in periprosthetic hip infection (PHI) with periprosthetic knee infection (PKI), and aimed to identify potential risk factors associated with the frequency. One hundred one PJI (46 hips and 55 knees) fulfilled the 2018 Musculoskeletal infection society criteria were analysed retrospectively to assess the positive rates of each local finding. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the presence or absence of each local finding, and the influence of two potential risk factors [body mass index (BMI) and C-reactive protein (CRP)] was investigated. Causative bacterial species were divided into high and low-virulent groups, and then culture negative cases were included in low-virulent group. PHI had significantly lower rates of pain, swelling and hyperthermia compared to PKI. Overall, up to one-third of PHI had pain as only symptom. High BMI and low-virulent bacteria were associated with lower frequency of swelling and hyperthermia in PHI. CRP had no impact on positive rates of local findings. PHI was oligosymptomatic in a significant percentage of cases. This is particularly important in obese patients and infection by low-virulent bacteria.
