Drugs for respiratory infections Flashcards
CURB-65
confusion
uremia (BUN>19)
respiratory rate (>=30)
BP low (systolic =65
CURB-65 scale
0-1 treat outpatient
2-admit
3-ICU
minor criteria of admission
WBC100,000
temp <36
absolute indications for ICU admission
mechanical ventilation
septic shock
CAP CXR
infiltates required for Dx
if neg but CAP strongly suspected start antibiotics and repeat CXR in 24-48hrs
CAP culutre
need to know what microbe to Tx to decrease mortality
CAP UA
legionella
pneumococcal
atypical bacteria
mycoplasma penumoniae
chlamydophilia pneumoniae
legionella
common infecting organisms for outpatient
S. penumoniae M. pneumoniae H. influenza Chlamydophilia pneumoniae respiratory viruses
in-patient non ICU organisms
S. penumoniae M. pneumoniae Chlamydophilia pneumoniae H. influenza legionella aspiration respiratory viruses
ICU organisms
S. penumoniae S. aureus legionella gram - bacilli H. influenza
underlying bronchopulmonary disease
H. influenza
M. catarrhalis
S. aureus
chronic oral steriods, severe underlying bronchopulmonary disease, alcoholism, frequent antibiotic use
enterobacteriaceae
pseudomonas aeruginosa
anaerboes
classic aspirations in alcohol/drug overdose
seizures w/gingical disease
esophageal motility disorders
common CAP viruses
influenza
RSV
adenovirus
parainfluenza
other CAP viruses
human metapnumonvirus
HSV
varicella-zoster
SARS associated coronavirus
2-3% incidence
M. tuberculossis chlamydophilia psittaci coxiella burnetti F. tularensis B. pertusis endemic fungi
drug resistant S. penumoniae (DRSP)
65 B-lactam use w/in previous 3 yrs alcoholics immunosupressed exposure to child at day care
outpatient in previous healthy
macrolide- azithromycin
doxycycline
both PO
outpatient at risk for DRSP
respiratory fluoroquinolone- levofloxacin
B-lactam- amoxicllin +macrolide
all PO
inpatient non ICU
respiratory fluoroquinolone- levofloxacin (PO or IV)
B-lactam- ceftriaxone + macrolide IV
ICU
respiratory fluoroquinolone- levofloxacin
B-lactam- ceftriaxone + macrolide IV
pseudomonas risks
structural lung disease
repeated COPD exacerbations with frequent corticosteroid and/or antibiotic use
prior antibiotic therapy
Tx for psudomonas
anti-psuudomonal B-lactam IV (piperacillin-taxobactam, cefepime) + either cipro or levofloxacin
or
beta lactam + gentamicin and azithromycin
or beta lactam + gentamycin +anti-psudomondal fluoroquinolone
CA-MRSA risk
end stage renal disease
injection drug abuse
prior influenza
prior antibiotic use
CA-MRSA Tx
add vancomycin or linezolid IV
panton-valentine leucocidin necrotizing pneumonia
add clindamycin or use linezolid
IV -> PO
hemodynamically stable normal temp and HR RR 90 SAO2 >90% normal mental status tolerating oral meds normal fnx of GI
duration of therapy
min 5 days, usually 7-10
must be afrebile for 48-72hours
no more then 1 CAP associated sign of clinical insatbility
duration of psudomonas therapy
15 days to prevent relapse
HAP
occurs 48hrs or more after admission
2nd most nosocomial infection in US
increases hospitalization 7-9days
VAP
arises in 48-72 hours after endotracheal intubation
occurs in 9-27%
HCAP
associated w/Hx of hospitalization or exposure to healthcare setting
HAP, VAP, HCAP onset
early onset <4days
late onset 5+ days
HAP, VAP, HCAP aerobic gram neg
P. aeruginosa
E. coli
K. pneumoniae
Acinetobacter
HAP, VAP, HCAP gram pos cocci
MRSA
more common in DM, head trauma, and ICU
HAP, VAP, HCAP oralpharyngeal pathogens
viridans group strep
coagulatse neg staph
neisseria
corynebacterium
Multi-drug resistant pathogens (MDR)
psudomonas aeruginosa klebsiella enterobacter serratia MRSA DRSP
psudomonas aeruginosa
resistance caused by multiple efflux pumps decreased expression of outer membrane porin Ch increasing resistance to piperacllin ceftazidime cefepime imipenem meropenem aminoglycosides fluroquinolones
klebsiella
intrinsically resistant to ampicillin and can acquire resistance to cephalosporins and aztreonma -> ESBL production
enterobacter
high frequency of developing resistance to cephalosporins during Tx
klebsiella, enterobacter, serratis
carry plasmid mediated AmpC-type enzymes (ESBL) which are carbapenem susceptible, but concerned about reisitance
MRSA
> 50% of ICU infection
PBPs w/reduced affinity for B-lactams
concern for linezolid resistance, but still rare
DRSP
altered PBP
all MDR strains in US currently susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid
