Q

how to treat salmonellosis?

A
  • most just supportive care - rehydration therapy
  • AB not recommended for most with uncomplicated salmonellosis (does not shorten the duration of illness and can prolong bacterial shedding)

Q

who should get AB treatment for salmonellosis?

A

Consider antibiotic therapy for patients with suspected invasive disease (e.g., patients with severe diarrhea, high fever, manifestations of extraintestinal infection) and for patients at increased risk for invasive disease (e.g., infants, older adults, people who are immunocompromised, patients with known atherosclerosis). For these populations, treat infections empirically until susceptibility results are available.

  • who plan to stay in TB-endemic countries
32
Q

which 3 methods are used for TB testing?

A
  1. culture methods - takes 2 weeks, can identify M. tuberculosis complex species
  2. microscopy - sputum smear or other body tissues or fluids - can see AFB (acid-fast bacilli) but cannot distinguish M. tuberculosis from nontuberculous mycobacteria
  3. Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests - less sensitive than culture but more sensitive than AFB smear; specific for M. tuberculosis complex - rapidly confirm diagnosis and help guide initial treatment until culture results return.
33

Q

how to treat TB?

A
  • isoniazid, rifampin, ethambutol and pyrazinamide for 2 months, then isoniazid and rifampin for additional 4 months
36

A
  • older tx: 4-6 drugs for 18-24 months
  • new tx: bedaquiline, pretomanid, linezolid (all oral) for 6 months
37
Q

how to prevent TB?

A

Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine - at birth in countries with higher TB burdens
- but low and variable efficacy in preventing TB in adults

38
Q

if you had BCG vaccine, which TB test is preferred?

A

IGRA - BCG might give false-positive TST results

39
Q

how to prevent infections from Mycobacterium bovis and other foodborne pathogens?

A

avoid unpasteurized diary products

40
Q

when do you do 2nd TST for travelers?

A
  • if TST testing for the first time
  • not needed if already been tested and found to have a negative result within the previous 2 years
  • 2nd method - TST baseline negative –> retest 1-3 weeks after; if 2nd is negative then pt is not infected; if 2nd is positive, pt have skin test boosting, possibly because of previous M. tuberculosis infection
41
Q

what is the infectious agent of typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever (=enteric fever)?

A

Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhi, Paratyphi A, Paratyphi B, and Paratyphi C

42
Q

how do you differentiate Paratyphi B strains (2 distinct pathotypes)?

A

based on their ability to ferment tartrate
1. Paratyphi B - unable to ferment tartrate and is associated with paratyphoid fever
2. Paratyphi B var. L(+) tartrate(+) - ferments tartrate and is associated with gastroenteritis typical of nontyphoidal salmonellosis.

43
Q

other than water and food, what would be the rare route of transmission of enteric fever?

sexual contact, MSM

43

typhoid - 11-21 million cases
para - 5 million cases

135,000-230,000 deaths per year

45
Q

which returning countries are most reported for enteric fever?

A

South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan), Africa, Latin America, SE Asia

lower risk regions - East Asia and the Caribbean

46
Q

what is the incubation period for enteric fever?

A

6-30 days

47
Q

what are the symptoms of enteric fever?

gradual onset - increase fatigue and a fever that increases daily from low-grade to 38-40 degress in 3-4 days.
fever lowest in AM, peaking late afternoon or evening.

all experience anorexia, headache, malaise.

abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea are common. (more in children)

dry cough, fatigue, myalgias, sore throat

hepatospenomegaly often can be detected.

a transient, maculopapular rash of rose-colored spots can occasionally be seen on the trunk.

clinical presentation is often confused with malaria.

untreated, case-fatality ratios are 10-30%; treated <1%

serious complications of typhoid fever occur in 10-15% of hospitalized patients - GI hemorrhage, intestinal performation, encephalopathy

48
Q

how to diagnose enteric fever?

A

blood culture (bacteremia) - a single culture is positive in only 50% of cases - multiple blood cultures might be required; cultures might need to be held and observed for up to 7 days before reporting a negative result

bone marrow culture - more invasive but increases the sensitivity to 80%, and is relatively unaffected by previous or concurrent AB use.

stool culture - usually not positive during the first week of illness and has less diagnostic sensitivity than blood culture.

rapid diagnostic tests are not very reliable.
