75
Q

Uncomplicated Malaria Falicparium

A

(ACTs) as first-line therapy
examples include artemether plus lumefantrine, artesunate plus amodiaquine, artesunate plus mefloquine, artesunate plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, dihydroartemisinin plus piperaquine

Q

Severe malaria falciparum

Parasite counts of more than 2% will usually need parenteral treatment irrespective of clinical state

A

Intravenous artesunate is now recommended by WHO in preference to intravenous quinine
if parasite count > 10% then exchange transfusion should be considered
shock may indicate coexistent bacterial septicaemia - malaria rarely causes haemodynamic collapse

77
Q

Fungal nail infection

A

do not need to be treated if it is asymptomatic and the patient is not bothered by the appearance
diagnosis should be confirmed by microbiology before starting treatment
dermatophyte infection:
oral terbinafine is currently recommended first-line with oral itraconazole as an alternative
6 weeks - 3 months therapy is needed for fingernail infections whilst toenails should be treated for 3 - 6 months
treatment is successful in around 50-80% of people
Candida infection:
mild disease should be treated with topical antifungals (e.g. Amorolfine) whilst more severe infections should be treated with oral itraconazole for a period of 12 weeks
if topical topical treatment is given treatment should be continued for 6 months for fingernails and 9-12 months for toenails
