antiparasiticantifungalanesthetics Flashcards
anti parasitic that has risk of optic neuritis with long term use
iodoquinol- due to dose related iodine toxicity
all of the luminal agents also come with mild GI upset
cryptosporidosis 1/2
- paromomycin (amino glycoside antibiotic)
eliminates trophosizes in liver abcess
chloroquine
back up drug for intestinal or hepatic amebas when no metronidazole
emetine/ dehydroemetine
DOC for invasive ameboas
metronidazole
followed by luminal
tinidazole is the new preference and better tolerated
Nitro group of acts as an electron acceptor à forming reduced cytotoxic compounds that bind to proteins and DNA, resulting in death of trophozoites.
Mixed Agents
Nitroimidazoles
- Metronidazole - Tinidazole
Not active against trophozoites
Converted in the gut to form amebicide
Luminal Agent
Diloxanide Furoate
Halogenated hydroxyquinoline – amebicidal; effective against the trophozoite and cyst forms
Luminal Agent
Iodoquinol
Aminoglycoside antibiotic; directly amebicidal, not significantly absorbed
Luminal Agent
Paromomycin
Prevents polymerization of heme->hemozoin Intracellular accumulation of heme is toxic to the parasite
Systemic Agent
Chloroquine
Blocks ribosomal movement along mRNA-> Inhibits protein synthesis
Systemic Agents
Emetine / Dehydroemetine
GI distress, rash, headache; auditory dysfunction and retinal dysfunction (high dose)
chloroquine
antifungalSevere toxicity, including gastrointestinal distress, muscle weakness, and cardiovascular dysfunction (arrhythmias and congestive heart failure)
Emetine / Dehydroemetine
alternative to antiparasitics for ameboicintestinal infection
intestinal infection: tetracycline
otherwise just stick with the formula mixed then luminal or the respective classes

Pyrimethamine + Sulfadiazine OR
Pyrimethamine + Clindamycin
AND Leucovorin
chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus/seizures, intracranial calcifications, ring enhancing leasions
Primary Amebic meningoencephalitis
(Naegleria fowleri)
Amphotericin B
presents like meningoencephalitis with history of swimming
Babesiosis parasite
Atovaquone + Azithromycin
Inhibits microtubule synthesis & glucose uptake
Benzimidazoles
Albendazole Mebendazole Thiabendazole
