Ch 41 Flashcards
multidrug resistant TB
resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin
extensively drug resistant TB
multidrug plus resistance to fluoroquinolones or at least one injectable second line drug
mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI)
- immunocompromised
- present with pulmonary disease, lymphadenitis, sepsis
leprosy
- not highly contagious, transmission from prolonged close contact
- years of therapy with antimycobacterial
isoniazid
- slow acetylator types more susceptible to ADE
- effective inside caseous lesions
- absorbed well orally
isoniazid MOA
inhibits reductase enzyme responsible to synthesis of mycolic acid for mycobacterial cell wall
-bactericidal
isoniazid ADE
- increase LFT, hepatitis
- peripheral neuritis, mitigated by B6 supplement
- agranulocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia
ethambutol
- bacteriostatic
- dose dependent optic neuritis and impaired red-green discrimination
ethambutol MOA
inhibits arabinosyl transferase resulted in impaired mycobacterial cell well synthesis
ethambutol ADE
- hyperuricemia and gout
- hepatitis
- thrombocytopenia
pyrazinamide
- bactericidal
- enables shorter regimen
- possibly inhibits fatty acid synthesis
pyrazinamide ADE
- arthralgia
- hyperuricemia and gout
- hematologic toxicity
- hepatitis
- elevated serum iron
rifampin MOA
inhibits DNA transcription and RNA synthesis
rifampin ADE
- red/brown discolor of saliva and tears
- liver function impairment
- thrombocytopenia with high intermittent therapy
