Aztreonam penetration into synovial fluid and bone

C M MacLeod et al. Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1986 Apr.

Abstract

Eighteen patients with uncomplicated degenerative joint disease requiring joint replacement (hip or knee) were given a single 2-g intravenous dose of aztreonam over a 5-min period preoperatively. The mean concentration in synovial fluid of 83.0 +/- 9.2 micrograms/ml averaged 0.99 times the concomitant levels in serum. The mean concentration in cancellous bone of 16.0 +/- 4.3 micrograms/g averaged 0.20 times the concomitant levels in serum.
