Q

How does Tb present in HIV with CD4 < 200? (4)

A
  • Subacute/acute presentation with rapid progression
  • CXR different: rarely cavities, pulmonary infiltrates not predominantly inapical areas. Pleural effusions + hilar lymphadenopathy common. Can be normal.
  • sputum smears negative in > 50% patients due to absence of pulmonary cavities
  • many have disseminated tb, sometimes military pattern on CXR - usually pleura or LNS.
22
Q

What is progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (pml)

A

HIV related neurological disorder

Presents with stroke-like episodes with cognitive impairment.
Usually visual impairment caused by involvement of occipital cortex
Caused by JC virus
No rx.

23
Q

Most common space-occupying lesions in hiV?

A

Cerebral toxoplasmosis

24
Q

Name 3 AIDS defining cancers

A
  • Kaposi sarcoma
  • cervical cancer
  • non Hodgkin lymphoma (ebv related)
25
Alternative prophylaxis PCP when cotrimoxazole poorly tolerated?
Dapsone ( sulfone - usually used for leprosy) 100 mg = efficacy for PCP, but doesn't prevent the other opportunistic infections like bacterium does
26
MAC prevention in HIV?
Azithromycin or clarithromycin if CD4 <50 until >100 Same to treat
27
Which vaccines should be given to HIV patients (3)
Nb to wait until CD4 > 200! - conjugate pneumococcal vaccine - annual influenza - hep B if not immune BCG and other live vaccines contraindicated!
28
Name 5 nrti
- Lamivudine! - tenofovir! - abacaVir - emtricitabine - zidovudine
29
Name nnrti
Efavirenz Rilpivirine
30
Name protease inhibitors
- Lopinavir - ritonavir - atazanavir
31
Name integrate inhibitors
- Dolutegravir - raltegravir - elvitegravir
32
How and when should ART be deferred (3)
- Major opportunistic infections: start within 2 weeks - cryptococcal meningitis: defer for 5 weeks - tb meningitis: defer for 8 weeks unless CD4 < 50.
33
Which 3 drugs Treat both HIV and Hepatitis B?
• Tenofovir (nrti) (most effective) • lamivudine (3Tc) (nnrti) or FTC emtricibine (nrti) LET
34
Name 4 contraindications to tenofovir TDF
•age <10 or weight <35 kg • renal failure eGFR <50 • Osteoporosis • use of additional nephrotoxic drug es aminoglycoside
35
Name 3 contraindications to 3Tc lamivudine
• Pancreatitis • bone marrow suppression (complications) • renal failure
36
Name 2 contraindications to DTG dolutegravir
• intolerance • high dose metformin
37
Name 5 drug interactions with dolutegravir
• Rifampicin decrease dolutegravir • anticonvulsants (carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, valproate) decrease dolutegravir • dolutegravir increase metformin dose (too high = lactic acidosis) • calcium and or iron supplements decrease dolutegravir levels if taken without food • antacids (magnesium or aliminium) decrease dolutegravir levels
38
How should dolutegravir be taken with rifampicin?
Double dolutegravir dose to 50 mg 12 hourly If on TLD (Tenofovir, lamivudine, dolutegravir) FDC, add dolutegravir 50 mg 12 hours after TLD dose
39
What is pathopneumonic of PCP?
Hypoxia especially after exercise Also tachypnoea
40
Define Iris
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome Excessive inflammatory response to preexisting antigen or pathogen and a paradoxical deterioration in clinical status after art initiation Diagnosis ot exclusion 2 types: unmasking and paradoxical Iris
41
What is paradoxical Iris?
Worsening symptoms of known disease, either at new or original body site
42
What is unmasking Iris?
Occult opportunistic infection not clinically apparent prior to art Type of art associated illness
43
Name 5 side effects dolutegravir
Usually mild and self limiting. • insomnia • headache • CNS effects: depression • gastrointestinal: increase serum creatinine • weight gain • neural tube defects: avoid preconception and first 6 weeks pregnancy

Benefits using DTG instead of EFV? (3)
• High genetic barrier to resistance • no interaction with hormonal contraceptives • side effects mild and uncommon (efavirenz neuropsychiatric,)
45
Benefits using efavirenz instead of dolutegravir? (3)
• safe in pregnancy • no significant interaction with Tb treatment (at interact with rifampin) • better for obese patients (dolutegravir: weight gain)
46
How should polyvalent cations be taken with dolutegravir (4)
• Take calcium and DTG together with food (only decrease DTG on empty stomach) • take iron with DTG with food • calcium and Iron must be taken at least 4 hours apart • magnesium/aliminium containing antacids should be taken minimum 2 hours after or 6 hours before DTG
