Previous literature has shown acyclovir to be cost-effective as prophylaxis for women with genital symptomatic herpes simplex virus infection recurrence during pregnancy.
Prosthetic patches can be used to repair large congenital diaphragmatic hernia defects but may be associated with infection, recurrence, and thoracic deformity.
In contrast, infections of pacemaker leads or other implantable cardiac devices require complete hardware removal, as infection recurrence always occurs, even after a seemingly effective initial treatment.
Other comorbidities, revision history, prior spacer, or presence of virulent organisms did not predict infection recurrence.
The unsuccessful treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) with two-stage revision leads to infection recurrence.
In all cases of infection recurrence, the old spacer was replaced with a new one.
We found no difference in infection recurrence or aseptic loosening rate in the two groups.
This study attempts to elucidate factors leading to infection recurrence after the first step of two-stage revision.
Hepatitis C virus infection recurrence in the graft is common under immunosuppression, leading to an accelerated rate of graft failure.
The presence of Gram-negative pathogens was associated with infection recurrence (OR 4.4; 95 % CI 1.18 16.37).
The proportion of these patients with infection recurrence after the first step of the two-stage procedure was higher than those with prior revision arthroplasty.
