Daily INH, rifampin, PZA & ethambutol* X 8 wks (56 doses* may D/C ethambutol if sensitivities favorable)

Pyradoxine (vit B6) 25 mg PO daily

48
Q

What is intermittent Preventive Treatment in Pregnancy (IPTp) for malaria?

A

give > 2 times during pregnancy

Protects against maternal anemia & low birth weight but less effective if HIV+

also recommended in infants

49
Q

Tx for Plasmodium falciparum

A

Medical emergency*

IV quinidine or IV artesunate

ICU
IV fluids, ± blood transfusion
Anti-convulsants if seizure
Glucose if hypoglycemic

50
Q

Tx for P vivax, P ovale and P malariae

A

Chloroquine

Primaquine x 14 days

Must treat liver hypnozoites to prevent
relapse (chloroquine doesn’t kill in liver) → screen for G6PD deficiency first

51
Q

Babesiosis tx

A

Mostly self-limited

Treat severe and sx dz

Atovaquone + azithromycin (fewer side effects)

or Clindamycin + quinine

52
Q

Tx for Giardia Intestinalis

A

Metronidazole

Tinidazole – single dose

Nitazoxanide

May need to treat multiple times before its gone due to relapse

53
Q

Amoebiasis tx

A

If colitis or liver abscess→ Metronidazole (kills trophozoites) then luminal agent (to act on cysts)

If asymptomatic → luminal agent only

54
Q

Cryptosporidiosis tx

A

If immunocompetent will recover in 1-2 wks

HIV (CD4 <200) → chronic diarrhea

↓ e immunosuppression (e.g., ARVs in HIV+)

Nitazoxanide (efficacy isn’t great)

55
Q

Chagas Disease tx

A

Antiparasitic drugs not very effective

Long duration of treatment (months)

Cure in only ~50%

Pacemaker

Cardiac transplantation

56
Q

Kala-azar

Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) tx

A

Majority of infections self-resolving

Pentavalent Antimony (SbV) = 1st line

Liposomal amphotericin B= tx of choice in US

57
Q

Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (ML) tx

A

Tx of cutaneous lesion may not prevent future mucosal lesion

Mild: topical paromycin, heat therapy, intralesional antimony

Moderate: pentavalent antimony, fluconazole/ketoconazole x4-6 wks, oral miltefosine

58
Q

When is surgery indicated for infective endocarditis

A
CHF
Recurrent systemic embolization
Uncontrolled sepsis
Conduction disturbances, myocardial abscess
Fungal endocarditis
Large vegetation size
59
Q

A

Amoxicillin 2 gm po
or
Cephalexin 2 gm po (if PCN allergic)

60
Q

Pt w/ fever and neutropenia

A

Rapid initiation of empiric antimicrobial therapy is mandatory (treat even if fever is only sx in immunocomp pts)

61
Q

Therapy goals for Infections in Neutropenic Host

A

Initial antimicrobial therapy is empiric

Gram negative coverage is mandatory

Recovery of the neutrophil count * major prognostic factor

62
Q

What should you do if f patients remains febrile despite adequate antibacterial coverage?

A

consider beginning antifungal therapy

63
Q

Isolation

Consider prophylactic antimicrobials

Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G‐
CSF)

64
Q

A

Begin at CD4 <200

Trimethoprim‐sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim) which also protects against toxoplasma infections

Alt: dapsone, atovaquone

65

PPhx for TB w/ isoniazid for all pts w/ + PPD or quantiferon (or close contacts of TB pt)

66
Q

Sepsis tx

A

Medical emergency

Abx + supportive care

Delay in effective antibiotics → ↑ mortality

ARDS→ ventilate w/ low tidal vol (6mL/kg), control inflam and prevent vol overload that will ↑ lung congestion

67
Q

Septic Shock tx

A

Stabilize resp and establish IV access

Empiric broad-spectrum abx (Vancomycin + carbapenem +/- fluoroquinolone or aminoglycoside)

IV bolus crystaloid (LR, 0.9% NS)→ want to maintain MAP ≥ 65 mmHg

Once euvolemic → add pressors (NE 1st line)

Stress steroids for shock refractory to vasopressor therapy

Admit to ICU

Drain spaces, surg control

If pt unable to clear lactate to <2 → poor prognosis*

Supportive meas: mech vent, renal replacement therapy, nutrition, blood glucose control, prevent DVT and stress ulcers

68
Q

DIC management

A

Serial labs to monitor

If pt is bleeding → bleeding by giving coag support (FFP, cryo)

If pt clotting → give antigoagulation (heparin drip)

PRBC to replace lose blood vol

Support: vasopressors, O2, ventilator
