Often due to genetic problem: fetal anomalies is the most common cause
RhoGAM
What is it for
Doses? When do we give it
It’s a IgG antibody against Rh factor
It kills the Rh factor across placenta from baby
So it prevent mom develop antibody ( because during this process it will cause baby hemolysis &anemia)
We give 2 doses to all mom who is Rh negative. Regardless if they successful deliver the baby or not.
1st dose: 28 week: 300mcg IM
2nd dose: within 72 hours after delivery.

Treatment for early syphilis: primary, secondary, early latent): x1 dose.
1st line: if have it less than 1 yr duration: Benzathine penicillin G IM x 1 dose: all people can have it
If late latent, or tertiary: same drug weekly x 3 doses
If CNS is involved: neurosyphilis: penicillin G IV
2nd line: doxycycline x 2 weeks;
If they can’t have penicillin: desensitization penicillin

Deao:
Doxycycline (x 7 days: preferred for non-pregnant)
Azithromycin (x1 dose): 1g x 1 dose: preferred for pregnant
Erythromycin
Oxofloxacin (all quinolone is fined 7 days).
Make sure to
1. Test 1 month after completing abx to see if it’s cured
2. Then retest after 3 months after finishing treatment for re-infection

How to prevent it from happening
Toxoplasma gondii infections (protozoa)
Can lead to brain infection, problem
1st line: septra
2nd line: dapsone+ pyrimthamine+ leucovirin
Prevention: avoid clean cat litter & eat uncooked meat
For HIV infection patient, what are the treatment
ART: to promote CD4+ count (means better immunity) & reduce HIV viral load
After starting treatment: follow up with viral load (aka HIV RNA)
1st viral load: 2-8 weeks after starting treatment
2nd viral load: q 1-2 months until viral load becomes undetectable
3rd vital: then watch CD4+ & CBC q 3-4 months for the first 2 years of ART
For prevention HIV:
– get all the not active vaccine: HPV (after 21yr), pneumococcal, Tdap, hep A & B
–pap smear every year: if 3 negatives, then do it q 3 years
–avoid cat litter & eat uncooked meat: toxoplasma
–no amphibian 两席动物: turtle, snake…: salmonella
–no bird stool: histoplasmosis
–take ART as instructed
pre exposure prophylaxis treatment for HIV
Who is it for

For the people with high risk of HIV infection
Must check HIV infection before starting med: and recheck HIVB q 3 month after
Take the drug everyday
Basic HIV test (school)
Treatment for HIV
Baseline HIV tests:
CD4 count
Lymphocyte
Viral load
Hepatitis ABC
Rule out other infection
Treatment: antiretroviral therapy (ART): reduce viral load & delay disease progression: (ADR: dizziness, headache)
HIV screening test
- EIA test (enzyme immune assay)–> not- reactive–> no HIV
- If reactive–> repeat EIA x2 times–> >=2/3 tests are reactive—> confirmatory test—–>
- If confirmatory test is non-reactive–> no HIV
- If confirmatory test is reactive—> positive HIV

Must give it within 72 hours after exposure, otherwise, it’s useless
Duration could be 4 weeks
Pregnant women with HIV infection
What specific treatment recommended for pregnant women? Can we give it to infant?
Name of the drug
What do we watch for the treatment
Start ART anytime during pregnnacy, but best start right after known pregnant status: signicaint reduce viral load given to the baby
Preferred treatment for both mom and baby: (best give it within 8 hours after birth): Zidocudine (Retrovir)
Before start the drug: check CBC with differential (get baseline because this drug suppress bone marrow)
Then watch CBC with differentials
What is Gardasil 9
Get pregnant women get Gardasil?
A HPV vaccine
Recommended age: 11- 26 years; give it before sex
Less benefit after 26 years, but they can get it if at risk
Vaccine usually good tolerated
2 doses if 1st dose get it before 15yr: 0.6-12. Months
3 doses if 1st dose get it. After 15 yr: 0, 1-2, 6 months
Pregnancy women can’t get it until 6 week postpartum
Treatment of genital wart
Some methods that patient can self-administered at home. These are:
1. Podophyllotoxin: pregnancy contrandicated
2. Imiquimod: pregnnacy contrandicated: leave it on for 6 hours then wash it off: stimulate local interferon and cytokines production: can cause hypopigmentation, irritation, ulcer.
3. Sinecatechins: pregnnacy can use it; also make sure to wash it off before sex. Only external use: not for vagina or anus; can weaken condom & diaphragms
Provider- method: TCA & cryotherapy are common for small wart (< 1cm); if bigger, surgical

What’s pelvic inflammatory disease?
Common cause
Diagnosis
Sx
Complication:
Tests to order:
PID means when infection spread up to the upper genital tract;
Common cause by gonohhea, or chlamydia
Diagnosis is clinical: even NAAT comes back negative for both, we still treat it. This disease, it’s better over treat it than leave it.
Sx:
–adnexal tenderness: most sensitive for PID
- acute onset of lower abdominal or pelvic pain (could be one side or both)
- new vaginal discharge+- bleeding
- painful sex
- cervical motion tenderness
- fallopian, ovaries might be painful on palpation
Complication: perihepatitis: RUQ tenderness
Tests: (5).
–pregnancy test
–NAAT
–syphilis
–HIV
–inflammatory markers
Treatment for PID
When should you expect improvement
Outpatient (FCD): ceftriaxone 500mg IM x 1 dose+ doxycycline x 14 days + flagyl x 14 days
Within 72 hours
Who is more likely to get PID;
Young patients
What is most characteristics of syphilis
Primary: painless chancre: heal in 9 weeks if not treated
Secondary: have systemic Sx (because syphilis can actually affect heart, nerve, and gum)
Latent: no Sx. But positive tire
Tertiary: affect cardiovascular. Gum, and nerve: this happen at least 1 year after primary infection
Other characteristics Sx in secondary syphilis: rash
– condyloma lata: white papules that look like wart grow on moisturd areas: mouth, perineum
–Maculopapular rash: this rash happen the whole trunk., extremeties and hands. NOT itchy
Syphilis diagnosis
NAAT culture of chancre, oral and lesions
Syphilis serology testing: RPR
Patient with hx of syphilis: positive nontreponemal test means new infection, evolving respond to treatment, or treatmetn failure
Patient with no hx of syphilis: both nontreponemal and treponemal tests are reactive to diagnose.
Make sure to use RPR to monitor treatment responds.
What are the screening test for syphilis
RPR: rapid plasma reagin
And
VDRL: venereal disease research lab
This means either one could be the initial test if you suspect someone have syphilis, if positive: you order the confirmatory test: treponemal test (FTA-ABS).
If the pregnancy women have high risk of syphilis, when do we screen them
1st visit, then 28-32 week, then at delivery
Do we follow up after starting syphilis treatmetn? Do we treat partner if their RPR is negative
Yes. We treat partner regardless the result
We follow 6 month and 12 months after treatment; we should expect at least fourfold decrease in pretreatement and post treatment. Most patients their titre will go down after treatmetn, but some people will have high titre for the rest of their life.
For chancre: follow up in 3-7 days after penicillin. : should expect start healing.
What do you do patient starting to be diaphoretic, hypotensive, headache,e Malawi, fever, chill after starting syphilis treatment?
This is called Harisch-Herxheimer reaction; it’s normal after syphilis treatmetn. Self limited. Management is supportive
We can’t prevent this from happening.
After the patient receive gonorrhea and chlamydia treatmetn, NAAT remains positive, what do you do
It’s normal to remain positive 2-3 weeks after treatmetn due to dead organism.
