Q

Varicella Zoster (HHV-3):

  • what dz does it cause
  • transmission–how long is someone contagious–start to end
  • prodrome?
  • classic evolution of the rash?
  • PE… hallmark?
  • diagnosis— best one?
  • tx: immunocompetent vs immunocomp
  • prevention
A

Primary: varicella —>chicken pox
Reactivation: herpes zoster–>shingles

CHICKEN POX:

  • transmission=aerosol droplets or direct contact
  • contagious 48 hours prior to the onset of the rash up until ALL the lesions have crusted over**

Prodrome:

  • fever
  • malaise
  • anorexia and/or pharyngitis followed by——>generalized vesicular rash usually w/in 24 hours

RASH: evolution

  • *start as erythematous macules–>papules–>vesicular (crops)–>crust over
  • *starts on face–>trunk–>spreads to extremities
  • ***pruritic ** DEW DROPS ON A ROSE PETAL

PE:
**HALLMARK= maculopapules, vesicles, and scabs in various stages of evolution

Diagnosis:

  • ***clinical
  • *but can do a
    1. Tznack smear= take scraping from the vesicle and will see MULTI NUCLEATED GIANT CELLS
    2. VZV DNA via PCR
    3. Immunofluorescent detection of viral antigen in lesions or culture
    4. serologic tests
  • **BEST TEST IS PCR ***

TX:
1. health children <12 YO= supportive and sympto tx–tylenol and calamine lotion–NO NO NO NSAIDS it can cause superinfection

  1. Adults/adolescents >12, and immunocomp: Acylovir to help prevent complications— win 72 hrs of onset
    * avoid contact with pregnant women

PREVENTION:

  1. Varicella (VAR) vaccine: live attenuated
    * 1st dose=12-15MO
    * 2nd dose=4-6 YO

Q

HHV-3 Shingles

  • when does it occur
  • RF (3)
  • CM
  • diagnosis
  • tx
  • prevention
A

after primary infection with Varicella zoster– virus remains latent in the DRG or cranial nerve ganglia—- where it can reactivate

RF:

  1. normal aging.. >50 YO
  2. poor nutrition
  3. immunocompromised status
    * **can occur in younger PT too

CM

  1. prodrome of fever, malaise, sensory changes (PAIN, burning, paresthesias)
  2. followeed by painful eruption of vesicles on erythematous base
  3. unilateral rash within a single dermatome—does not cross the midline–MC thorax
    * Zoster ophthalmicus: opthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve (CNV) is involved—- can cause blindness in absence of tx **HUTCHINSON’s SIGN**
    * *Ramsay Hunt Syndrome: facial nerve (CN-VII) pain and vesicles appear in external auditory canal–lose sense of taste in anterior two thirds of tongue + ipsilateral facial palsy

Diagnosis:

  1. clinical
  2. if need to confirm: best test is PCR
  3. Tzanck smear does NOT differentiate b/w chicken pox and shingles… not best choice

TX

  1. Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, famicilovir
    * **Valacyclovir used MC bc of the dosing
  2. Analgesics for pain–narcotics for serious cases
  3. can be transmited until all the lesions crust over

PRevention: the following are both good for 5 years

  1. recombinant vaccine (RVZ): adults >50 YO, 2 doses
    * **second dose is given 2-6 MO after first
  2. Zostavax: live attenuated vaccine–no longer in US

**Splenomegaly (wk 2-3)
**exudative pharyngitis
PRODROME before triad: extreme fatigue, fever, HA,

**if PTs get ampicillin + mono= RASH

Q

HIV-1 vs HIV-2

A

HIV-1 is found wordwilde
HIV-2 is found mainly in western africa

both cause AIDS

72
Q

HIV / AIDS

  • transmission
  • CM: each stage– how do you define late stage?
  • two MC opportunistic infections ?
A

trans= MC person-person via sex, mother to child during delivery, contact with blood IVDU, needle sticks

takes a very high dose of HIV to cause infection—why very few HC workers have become sick thru needle sticks

CM: acute, middle/latent, late/immunodeficiency

  1. Acute phase: acute seroconvertion
    * 2-4 weeks after infection
    * flu-like or mononcleosis-like illness:
    * fever
    * lethargy
    * sore throat
    * gen lymphadenopathy
    * Maculopapular rash on trunk, arms, and legs
    * readily transmissible bc high viral load
  2. middle/latent phase (chronic phase)
    * usually measured in years
    * if untx–>latent period lasts for 7-11 yrs
    * pateints usually asympto—-but large amt of HIV is being produced
    * AIDS-related complx (ARC)–>fever, fatige, wt loss and lymphadenopathy
  3. Late/immunodeficient
    AIDS
    *CD4 count below 200 u/uL or a CD4+ T cell percent of total lymphocytes of <14%
    AND/OR at least 1 AIDS-defining condition–>opportunistic infections
    two MC infections are:
  4. Kaposi’s sarcoma
  5. Pneumocystis pneumonia
73
Q

who has higher risk of getting HIV– circumcised or uncircumcised males

A

uncircumcised

74
Q

when do antibodies to HIV typically appear

A

10-14 days after infections (during the acute phase)

75
Q

most patients will have a + test for HIV by when

A

3-4 weeks after infection

this means they have seroconverted

76
Q

list fungal and parasitic infections that affect AIDS PT

A 
Candidiasis ***
Crptyococcal meningitis 
Cryptosporidium 
Coccidiodomycosis 
PCP 
Cerebral toxoplasmosis 
Histoplasmosis
77
Q

Bacterial infections affecting AIDS pt

A

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare
TB
Salmonella septicemia
Nocardia

78
Q

Viral infections affecting AIDS pt

A

Herpes zoster
CMV
HSV encephalitis

79
Q

Maliginancies assoc with AIDS

A

Lymphoma–Burkitt’s immunoblastic

Kaposi sarcoma

80
Q

how to diagnose HIV

  • pre test counseling?
  • indications for testing ?
  • what are the three main tests and what do they test
  • other tests (6)
A

pre-test counseling:

  1. discuss inds for HIV testing
  2. risk assessment
  3. implications of positive test results
  4. discuss confidentiality and F/U

Indications for testing

  1. screening: test all adolescents and adults at incr risk for HIV and ALL PREGNANT WOMEN
  2. any PT with features of chronic HIV infection

TESTS:

  • –>4th generation enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for HIV 1 an 2
  • *detects antibodies (3-12 weeks psot infection) and p24 antigen of HIV
  • *negative result=no further testing
  • *pos result= —>test HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibody differentiation immunoassay

—> indeterminate results: test with FDA approed HIV-1 nucleic acid test

OTHER TESTS

  1. Western blot: 2 bands present= positive
  2. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)–>tells you the viral load
  3. HBV and HCV serologies–can affect choice of therapy
  4. . other sexual transmitted dz
  5. CBC, BMP, LFTs, fasting lipid profile, A1c, UA
  6. Pregnancy test
    * antivirlas can afffect liver funct and dyslipidemia and glucoe tolerance,
  • **basically:
  • combination of antigen/antibody immunoassay (screening) + HIV viral load testing (RT-PCR)
81
Q

HIV Results: negative screening immunoassay + positive virologic tests– what does this mean

A

early HIV

*getting a second postiive virologic test will suggest HIV infection

82
Q

Positive HIV screening immunoassay + positive virologic test=?

A

early or established infection

**confirm this with a second test: repeat HIV RNA or serologic test weeks later

83
Q

4th generation enzyme immnoassay (EIA) tests for what

A
  1. HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies that appear 3-12 weeks after infection
  2. p24 antigen of HIV
84
Q

CD4+ T cell count assess?

A

immune function of HIV PT

85
Q

p24 antigen

A

viral core protein that appears in the blood as the viral RNA level rises following HIV infection

86
Q

viral RNA load asseess?

A

viremia

*pronostic marker in long-term management

87
Q

what tests do we do for monitoring of HIV

A
  1. Viral RNA load–indicator of antiretrovirl therapy response: decr viral load indicates effective tx
  2. CD4+ T cell count: increases with antiretroviral tx
88
Q

TX HIV

  • list the MC classes
  • regimen for newly diganosed?
  • post-exposure prophylaxis
  • pre-exposure prohyplaxis
A

Antiretroviral therapy for ALL patients

  • *highly active retroviral therapy (HAART) is mainstay in US
  • *over 26 drugs
  • *6 major classes

MC ones are:

  1. Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NRTI)
  2. Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)
  3. Integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)
  4. Protease inhibitor

Regimens for newly diagnose PT:
*2 different NRTIs + INSTI

POST-EXP Prophylaxis:
1. within 72 hours of exposure–3 drug regimen x28 days

PRE-EXP Prophylaxis:

  1. reduce the risk in uninfected high-risk individuals
    * 2 drug regimen
