Q

When giving longer courses of PO fluconazole, in whom should caution be taken?

A

Moderate CYP450 inhibitor
Caution in:
- co-administration with other medications metabolized by the liver
- hepatic impairment
- co-administration with medications that can cause prolonged QT - TCAs, antipsychotics, SSRIs, SSNRIs, erythromycin)
- renal impairment (eGFR < 50) - use inital loading dose then half subsequent doses

21
Q

How long dose fluconazole inhibit CYP450 for?

A

4-5 days after administration

30
What is the most common route of transmission of Hep B in the UK?
Sexual
31
What are the symptoms of prodrome in hep B?
Most are asymptomatic First 1 - 3 weeks anorexia, nausea and severe malaise
32
When is a patient with acute hep B infectious?
2 weeks prior to onset of jaundice and 1 week after (until patient becomes surface antigen negative)
33
Up to how long after exposure to hep B will a vaccination confer some protection (theoretically)?
Up to 6 weeks
34
How would you manage someone presenting with chronic hep B?
``` Test for hep A, C and D Full SHS Vaccinate against hep A Avoid alcohol Use condoms Test partners - vaccinate new partners Refer to hepatology ```
35
What is the risk of transmission of hep B to the fetus in a pregnant woman who is infected and goes untreated?
If HBsAg positive only - 10% If HBeAG also positive - 90% Most infections occur at delivery
36
What are the risks of Hep B in pregnancy?
Miscarriage, low brith weight, pre term delivery
37
What is the vaccination schedule for a neonate born to hep B pos mother?
Vaccination within 24h If mother HBsAg+ and HBeAg- - vaccination only If mother HBeAG + - vaccination and HBIG
38
What advice should be given to a Hep B positive mother regarding breastfeeding?
Safe once baby is immunised

1:333
45
Risk of HIV transmission from sharing injecting equipment?
1:149
46
How do you calculate risk of transmission of HIV?
Risk of transmission = risk that the source is HIV positive with a detectable viral load x risk per type of exposure
47
In a patient who has been fully vaccinated for Hep B without any natural immunity, which serology tests would be positive? A. HBsAg B. antiHBc C. anti-HBs
C - anti-HBs (hep B surface antibodies)
48
``` In an acute Hep B infection, which serology tests would be positive? A. HBsAg (surface antigen) B. antiHBc (core antibodies) C. IgG anti-HBc (IgM core antibodies) D. IgM anti-HBc (IgG core antibodies) E. anti-HBs (surface antibodies) ```
A HBsAg B antiHBc D IgM anti-HBc
