Add vanco.

17
Q

2 equivalent regimens for VAP/HAP?

A

Vanco/Ceftazadime

Vanco/Piperacillin/Tazobactam

(need to cover SPACEK and anaerobes)

18

Q

What is the equivalent of Ceftazadime for pts who are allergic to PCN?

A

Q

Your first patient of third year has febrile neutropenia without a clear source. Your resident says she remembers resistant Gram negative rods are potential pathogens in this crowd, so she wants to start empiric antibiotic therapy to cover them.

Which of these do not cover resistant GNRs?

Ceftriaxone

Meropenem

Aminoglycosides

Ciprofloxacin

Piperacillin / tazobactam

A

Bactirm is cheaper

25

A

Cover strep pneumo

26
Q

Why might we give Vanco in a meningitis situation but not in pneumonia, if we suspect that each may be caused by MRSA?

A

Meningitis far more dangerous - cannot take the chance on MRSA.

Pneumonia - if they don’t get well on first-line they can come back in for Vanco.

27
Q

1: FYI: you should get a chest x-ray.

31 year old medical student vomits while taking his final exam. Three days later, he develops a fever, cough and dyspnea. You’re worried about pneumonia.

What is the first-line, assuming he is well enough to remain home (not in hosp)?

A

Azithromycin

28
Q

Why are ceftriaxone plus azithromycin the standard treatment for patients hospitalized with pneumonia?

(why not only azithromycin?)

A

If patient is in hospital, add Ceftraixone covers resistant pneumo.

If very concerned/sick, add Vanco.

Pneumonia: Azithro –> Ceftriaxone –> Vanco
