Abstract

Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic which is approved for the treatment of Anaerobic, Streptococcal and Staphylococcal infections. There has been an increased interest in the use of CLINDAMYCIN since it achieves high intracellular levels in phagocytic cells, high levels in bone and appears to have an antitoxin effect against the toxin elaborating strains of streptococci and staphylococci. CLINDAMYCIN is considered as a bacteriostatic antibiotic, while it is bactericidal against some strains of Staphylococci, Streptococci and Anaerobes such as B. fragilis. Its major disadvantage is its propensity to cause antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In spite of expanded use of CLINDAMYCIN in bone infections, the adverse reactions of this antibiotic are minor. Polyarthritis is a rare adverse effect of this antibiotic.In this case report, we studied a 75-year-old male patient with past history of drop attack and subdural hematoma who developed SKULL OSTEOMYELITIS after the surgery. After two weeks of intravenous antibiotic therapy, wound discharge was stopped and the patient was discharged from the hospital with the maintenance oral antibiotic therapy including CLINDAMYCIN 300 mg q8 h, ciprofloxacin 500 mg q12 h and rifampin 600 mg fasting.Six days after the beginning of oral antibiotics, right wrist MONOARTHRITIS was developed. It was unresponsive to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and improved after decreased doses of CLINDAMYCIN. As best as we know, MONOARTHRITIS was not reported with CLINDAMYCIN previously.
