Often cause wound infections that can be mild, but may develop rapid-onset, severe necrotizing fasciitis with hemorrhagic bulls lesions and septic shock. Patients with liver disease are at high risk.

23
Q

treatment of choice for pregnant and lactating patients with early localized lyme disease

26
Q

definition of complicated UTI

27
Q

treatment of complicated pyelo

A

IV fluoroquinolone, aminoglycoside, extended spectrum beta-lactam/cephalosporin

28
Q

preferred initial treatment for uncomplicated BPH

A

alpha-1 blockers (5-alpha-reductase inhibitors have a much slower onset)

painless hard mass in testicle + US suggesting cancer

30
Q

management of testicular mass

A

radical orchiectomy (kill first, investigate later) + also remove cord
