28
Q

When trying to comfirm an infection, what is the big thing that we are looking for?

A
  • FEVER: >38 C or 100.4 F [Rectal = +1 degree & Armpit = -1 degree]
29
Q

What are some of the Non-infectious causes of a fever [False Positives]?

A
  • Autoimmue disorders
  • DRUG FEVER: basically giving a drug that causes a fever
  • Blood Transfusions
30
Q

What are some fo the False Negatives that can happen with fevers?

A
  • Antipyretics: masks fever
  • Cortiosteriods
  • Not finishing drug therapy
  • Super Infection
31
Q

What are some of Systemic sign and symptoms of infections?

A
  • FEVER *
  • Increased WBC Count
  • Chills
  • Tachycardia *
  • Tachypnea *
  • Hypotension
  • Malise
  • Mental Status
32
Q

What is important to know about the WBC count within an infection?

A
  • Normal: 4500-10000
  • Mature Neutrophils = “Polys” & Immature Neutrophils = “Bands”
  • BANDS: increased bone marrow response
33
Q

What is importance of Leukocytosis in the signs and symptoms of infection?

A
  • Bacterial infections with increased Neutrophils +/- Bands [left shift]
  • Increased due too non-infectious causes or drugs
34
Q

What is the importance of Lymphocytosis. in the signs and symptoms of infection?

A
  • Associated with Viral, TB, Fungal
  • B-lymph: Humoral Immunity
  • T-lymph: Cell-Mediated [
35
Q

What is the importance of Monocytosis & Ensinophilia in the signs and symptoms of infection?

A
  • Monocytosis: Associated with TB or Lymphoma
  • Eosinophilia: Associated with allergies or Protozoal/Parasitic Infections
36
Q

What are the Localized signs and symptoms of Infections?

A
  • Pain and Inflammation [swelling, redness, tenderness, purulent drainage]
  • Deep-seated: needs imaging [Pneumonia, meningitis, UTI]
  • Specific Organs [Flank Pain = Pyelonephritis (E. COLI)]
37
Q

What are the Additional Acute Phase Reactant Lab Tests?

A
  • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate [ESR] & C-Reactive Protien [CRP]: increased with inflammation BUT doesnt equal infection

38
Q

What are the Radiographic Test that are used in infections?

A
  • X-Rays
  • Computed Tomography [CT or CAT scan]
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI]
  • Nuclear Imaging
  • Echocardiography
39
Q

When identifying a pathogen, what are some things that we need to do?

  • MUST avoid contamination
  • Direct Exams [Gram Stains, Ziehl-Nielsen, India Ink]
40
Q

What is the main differences between Colonization and Infection?

A

41
Q

What is the main differences between Sensitivity and Specificity in Infections?

A
  • Sensitivity: Positive in the presence of disease [EVERYONE has the disease]

42
Q

What are some of the host factors that relate toward infections?

A
  • Allergies, Age, Sex, Weight, Pregnancy, Genetics, Renal/Hepatic [FIND ClCr], Interactions

44
Q

What are some of the things that we should base our empiric therapy on?

A
  • Knowledge [whats the pathogen, where…]
  • Antibiograms: shows a summary of what drugs are susceptibility
45
Q

What is the difference between Bactericidal & Bacteriostatic Therapy?

A
  • Bactericidal: KILLS the organism

Q

What are the 3 primary reasons that someone may need to use combination therapy for an infection?

49
Q

What is important to know about Efficacy in selecting antimicrobial therapy?

A
  • Basically looking at clinical trials to see how “effective” it is
50
Q

What is important to know about In Vitro Microbiological Activity?

A
  • Spectrum of activity = MUST KNOW
51
Q

What is the important to know about Pharmacokinetics in selecting antimicrobial therpay?

A

  • Tissue Distribution: Intra v Extracellular [mircodialysis - “typical” = Intra; “atypical” = Extra]
52
Q

What is the important things to know about pharmacodynamics in selecting antimicrobial therapy?
