HIV: Boards Flashcards
PIs effect on other drugs (1)
Voriconazole: reduces
Fanconi’s syndrome: E, C, T
E: TDF
C: weakness, type II RTA, hypophosphatemia, glucosuria, hypokalemia, non-anion gap metabolic acidosis (may not have all present)
T: stop TDF
HIV-AN: E, C, D, T
E: more in blacks, moreif CD4<200
C: high-grade proteinuria, normal or large kidneys, no edema, rapid progression
D: biopsy, r/o other causes
T: ARVs
Vaccines (11)
- -Influenza: inactivated vaccine annually
- -Td/Tdap: every 10 years and once in adulthood with Tdap
- -Varicella: if CD4 >200 (otherwise contraindicated); give 2 doses
- -Zoster: maybe give if CD4 >200 (otherwise contraindicated) and age > 60
- -HPV: up until age 26; give 3 doses
- -MMR: if CD4 >200; give 1-2 doses
- -PPSV-23: one dose and one booster at 5yrs (if <65)
- -PCV-13: one dose
- -Meningococcal: if risk factors; 1 or more doses
- -Hepatitis A: if risk factors; 2 doses
- -Hepatitis B: 3 doses
Causes of polyneuropathy (5)
- -HIV-associated: subacute or chronic presentation
- -Guillain-Barré syndrome: develops over 1-2wks
- -ARVs: ddI, d4T, ddc
- -Abx: dapsone, ethionamide, INH, metronidazole, linezolid
- -Others: phenytoin, thalidomide
Primary OI PPx: Start, Stop, Use
PCP
- -start: CD4 <250 AND new positive IgG or IgM (screen yearly)
- -stop: ???
- -use: fluconazole 400mg daily
PCP: D, T
D: B-D-glucan sensitive (92%) but not specific (65%); induced sputum uncertain if sensitive (55-95%) but specific (99%)
T: 1) TMP-SMX, 2) clindamycin + primaquine, 3) dapsone + trimethoprim, 4) atovaquone, 5) parenteral pentamidine
Toxo: T
1) sulfadiazine + pyrimethamine + leucovorin
2) clindamycin + pyrimethamine + leucovorin (need PCP ppx)
3) TMP-SMX
4) atovaquone +/- (pyrimethamine + leucovorin)
Cryptococcus: T (2)
Meningitis: ampho B + flucytosine x2wks (consider LP then and consider extending if cx positive) → fluconazole 400mg x8wks → fluconazole 200mg x >52wks; also daily LP if CSF OP >20-25 (goal is 50% reduction or bring to 100 x3mo and VL undetectable
CMV: D, T
D: CMV PCR in blood and BAL has poor positive and negative predictive value (but pretty reliable with CSF and vitreous fluid); inclusion bodies on organ bx also non-specific
T: valganciclovir +/- intravitreal ganciclovir
HIV and diarrhea: D, T
D: modified acid fast stain (Cryptosporidum, Isospora, Cyclospora); trichrome or Giemsa or PAS (Microsporidia), Giardia stool antigen, C. diff toxin PCR, O&P (Entamoeba, Cyclospora, Cryptosporidium, Giardia), c-scope (CMV, MAC), Rotavirus ELISA, stool cx, AFB (MAC)
T: Salmonella → if recurs suppress for 6mo; Isospora → TMP-SMX, ciprofloxacin, or pyrimethamine; Cyclospora → TMP-SMX, ciprofloxacin; Cryptosporidium → ART (maybe paromomycin or nitazoxanide but not good data); Microsporidium → ART, albendazole
HIV and encephalopathies: C
–HIV encephalopathy: CD4 <50; acute; no sensory deficit; symmetrical; imaging → periventricular enhancement and micronodularity characteristic
Secondary OI PPx: Use, Stop
PCP --use: TMP-SMX daily --stop: CD4 >200 x3mo Toxo --use: usual treatment regimen at lower dose --stop: CD4 >200 x6mo MAC --use: treatment regimen --stop: CD4 >100 x6mo CMV --use: valganciclovir --stop: CD4 >100 x3-6mo Crypto --use: fluconazole (then itra) --stop: CD4 >100 AND HIV VL undetectable for > 3mo AND minimum of 12mo therapy Histo --use: itraconazole 200mg daily --stop: Negative blood cx AND serum Ag = 150 AND ART x > 6mo Cocci --use: fluconazole 400mg daily --stop: indefinitely if disease was severe
Side effects: dapsone, pentamidine, primaquine, pyrimethamine, sulfadiazine, TMP-SMX
- -dapsone: hemolytic anemia from G6PD deficiency (screen high risk – African and Mediterranean descent), methemoglobinemia, hepatitis, rash; 50% with TMP-SMX rash are cross reactive to dapsone
- -pentamidine: ARF, hypotension, electrolyte abnormalities, pancreatitis, prolonged QTc
- -primaquine: methemoglobinemia
- -pyrimethamine: similar to TMP-SMX
- -sulfadiazine: GI upset, rash, bone marrow suppression, renal stones, hepatitis
- -TMP-SMX: leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, rash, fever, increased Cr, K, amylase, LFTs
When to start ARVs in HIV+ patient with TB
CD4 < 50: within 2wks
CD4 > 50 and severe clinical disease (weight loss, low Karnofsky score, low BMI, etc): 2-4wks
CD4>50 and no severe clinical disease: 8-12wks
