Q

What does positive e-antigen mean in hepatitis B?

A

Q

Goal of Chronic Hepatitis therapy?

A

Q

Acute Hepatitis B – Tx?

Q

Role of Liver Biopsy in chronic Hepatitis management?

A

Fibrosis on biopsy = start Tx for Hep B or C right away

  • if there’s active viral replication, fibrosis will progress to cirrhosis, which is irreversible
30
Q

Are ALT levels a good indication of activity of chronic hepatitis?

A

No, you can have significant infection w/ normal transaminase levels

31
Q

Ribavirin – AEs?

A
  • Hemolytic Anemia

- Severe Teratogen

32
Q

Goal of Hep C therapy?

A

Achieve an undetectable viral load

33
Q

Urethritis vs. Cystitis presentation?

A

Both: Dysuria w/ urinary frequency & burning

Urethritis = Urethral discharge
cystitis does not give this

34
Q

Urethritis – Tx?

A

Cefexime or Ceftriaxone (gonorrhea)
+

35
Q

Urethritis – best initial test?

A

Urethral swab for Gram stain

36
Q

Causes of Urethritis other than Gonorrhea/Chlamydia?

A

Mycoplasma genitalium & Ureaplasma

37
Q

Cervicitis – presentation?

A

Cervical discharge & inflamed “strawberry” cervix on PE

38
Q

Cervicitis – Tx?

A 
- Testing & Tx are identical to Urethritis
Tx =
Cefexime or Ceftriaxone  (gonorrhea)
\+
Azithromycin or Doxycycline  (chlamydia)
39
Q

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – presentation?

A
  • Lower abdominal tenderness
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Fever
  • Cervical motion tenderness
  • Leukocytosis
40
Q

PID – best 1st step?

A

Exclude pregnancy!

41
Q

Dx?

Painless genital ulcer

A

Syphilis

42
Q

Dx?

Painful genital ulcer

A

Chancroid (Haemophilus ducreyi)

43
Q

Dx?

Lymph nodes tender & suppurating + genital ulcer

A

Lymphogranuloma venereum

44
Q

Dx?

Painful vesicles, leading to ulcer

A

Herpes simplex

45
Q

Syphilis – Dx tests?

A

Dark-field microscopy

46
Q

Chancroid (H. ducreyi) – Dx tests?

A

Stain & culture on specialized media

47
Q

Lympogranuloma venereum – Dx tests?

A
  • Complement fixation titers in blood

- Nucleic acid amplification testing on swab (PCR)

48
Q

Herpes simplex – Dx tests?

A
  • Tzanck prep = best initial test

- Viral culture = most accurate test

49
Q

Syphilis – Tx?

A

Single dose of intramuscular benzathine penicillin
- Doxycycline in penicillin allergy

(ulcers resolve on their own, Tx is to prevent further stages)

50
Q

Chancroid (H. ducreyi) – Tx?

A

51
Q

Genital warts (papillomavirus)

57
Q

Condyloma Acuminata – Dx test(s)?

A

Visual appearance alone

58
Q

Condyloma Acuminata – Tx?

A

Remove w/ Cryotherapy w/ liquid nitrogen, surgery, laser, or “melting” w/ podophyllin or tricloroacetic acid

  • Imiquimod is a locally applied immunostimulant that leads to the sloughing off of the lesion

Crabs

  • found on hair bearing areas (axial, pubis)

  • Causes itching
60

Pediculosis – Tx?

A

Permethrin

Pediculosis = Crabs

61
Q

A

Must scrape them out of the skin & magnify to Dx

b/c they burrow beneath the skin but leave a visible trail

62
Q

Scabies – Tx?

A

Permethrin

63
Q

Scabies – where is it found?

A

Web spaces between fingers & toes or @ elbows or genitalia

64
Q

A
  • Ceftriaxone (1st), Ertapenem
  • Ampicillin & Gentamicin (if cultures are known)
  • Ciprofloxacin (oral for outpatient)

** any drug for gram-negative rods would be effective **

65
Q

A
  • Ceftriaxone (1st), Ertapenem
