Q

MAC
Mycobacterium Avium Complex

TREATMENT

AZITHROMYCIN 500-600 qd
+
ETHAMBUTOL 15mg/kg/qd

+add if clinical sxs dictate+

  • *Rifabutin** 300mg qd >> Quinolone (levo or moxi)
  • due to Rifabutins DI’s*

ONE YEAR TREATMENT

17
Q

MAC
Mycobacterium Avium Complex

When to START/STOP prophylaxis

A

D/C SECONDARY prophylaxis if:

1) completed >12 months of treatment
2) CD4 >100 for >6mo + ART
3) n_o S/Sx of MAC_

MAC is often found in environmental sources
food/water/soil - hard to avoid
Inhaled / Ingested

NO NEED FOR PRIMARY PROPHYLAXIS** of on **ART

18
Q

Which OI drugs requires G-6PD testing?

A

PRIMAQUINE
Helolytic Anemia / methemoglobinemia
Caution if G-6PD Deficient

DAPSONE
same + rash, NEEDS the G-6PD Test
if deficient –> DO NOT USE

19
Q

Which is the OI that recommends to start
ART 2-10 weeks AFTER treatment?

due to:
IRIS

A

CRYTOCOCCAL INFECTION
Liposomal Amph + Flucytosine 2 weeks
Fluconazole 400mg qd for 8 weeks
Maintanence:
Fluconazole 200mg qd for 1 year

20
Q

Fungal Associated OIs
do not need Primary Prophylaxis

Cryptococcal

PRESENTATION + DIAGNOSIS

A

Risk is GREATEST when CD4 <50, but still occurs <200

Meningitis-Like
HA / Fever / AMS / neck stiffness / photophobia

Diagnosis:
Cryptococcal Antigen in CSF or serum
Lumbar puncture: india ink smear for cryptococcus

21
Q

Fungal Associated OIs
do not need Primary Prophylaxis

Histoplasmosis

PRESENTATION + DIAGNOSIS

occurs usually when CD4 <150

Fever / Fatigue / Wt loss >1-2 mo / respiratory issues / lymph

HISTO ANTIGEN
in urine or blood = 95% sensitive

22
Q

Fungal Associated OIs
do not need Primary Prophylaxis

Thrush = Candida Albicans

PRESENTATION + TREATMENT

A

If Disseminated / Systemic = AIDS diagnosis
Topical / Oral = not common, INDICATOR FOR IMS –> CHECK HIV
can be seen when CD4>200

Oral Thrush:
White painless patches on cheeks + Tongue

Treatment:

  • *FLUCONAZOLE**
  • *100mg qd 7-10days**

26
Q

Histoplasmosis

When can we DC maintenance TX?

Maintanence
(after >12 months of treatment)
for SEVERE DISSEMINATED or CNS infection
Itraconazole 200mg qd

A

1 year Histo tx
+
CD4 > 150 for 6 months
(MAC is also 6mo)
