[Treatment of osteomyelitis with PVP-iodine solution using lavage-suction drainage].
PVP-iodine was applied in this pilot study as irrigation solution containing 0.2% active ingredient for irrigation-suction drainage. It was well tolerated. The degree of iodine absorption remained within a lower region encountered with commonly available iodine-containing medications. Increased iodine levels returned to normal ranges soon after termination of treatment. Changes in thyroxine values were without clinical symptoms. No hypothyreosis was encountered. In spite of this it is recommended to control thyroid function before, during and after irrigation treatment with PVP-I in patients with a possible disposition for iodine-induction of thyroid function. Pregnancy (after the third month) and the presence of autonomous adenomas of the thyroid are contraindications because of the iodine load encountered. Palpable evidence for a thyroid enlargement is also a contraindication, except when the patient had not responded with thyroidal side reactions after prior exposure to iodine-containing contrast agents. During the irrigation treatment with PVP-I wounds became free of microorganisms. Local irritations due to the application of PVP-I were rare. The patient acceptance was excellent or good.
