Q

20 year old woman s/p 18 days from HSCT in january, engrafted 3 days ago. Develops fever, hypoxemia, b/l lung infiltrates, and requires intubation. Nasal swab is negative by rapid test for influenza. Which of the following is the next best action?

  1. Do not initiate anti-influenza therapy due to rapid test. The timing suggests idiopathic pulmonary syndrome (engraftment)
  2. Initiate anti-influenza therapy empirically and send tracheal aspirate/BAL for influenza PCR?
  3. Send IgG and IgM for influenza
  4. Send RSV EIA and initiate empiric IV ribavirin
A

initiate anti-influenza therapy empirically and send tracheal aspirate or BAL for influenza PCR

Q

32 y/o nurse, 34 weeks pregnant, during influenza season. Gets symptoms, seen at urgent care where rapid test positive, and given Azithromycin. 72 hours later, gets fever, tachypnea, decreased UO with CXR showing bl hazy infiltrates. She’s hospitalized.

what is the correct statement?

  1. she should get supportive care only since >48 hours
  2. Oseltamivir is relatively CI in pregnancy
  3. Zanamaivr is clearly preferred b/c of low systemic absorption
  4. Oseltamivir should be started ASAP
A

Oseltamavir should be started ASAP

Q

what are the recommended medications for influenza treatment? prophylaxis?

A
  1. oseltamivir, zanamivir, baloxavir
  2. Empiric treatment for pregnant women and up to 2 weeks postpartum
  3. duration 5 days
  4. initiating tx within 2 days of symptoms results in M&M reduction
  5. Pregnancy should not be CI to oral oseltamivir or zanamivir use

Q

Basics of baloxavir?

A
  • cap -dependent polymerase inhibitor
  • non-inferior to oseltamivir in 2 phase 3 studies
  • superior for influenza b in patients with risk factors
  • shorter duration of shedding
  • resistance mutations emerge on tx in 10-20% of patients.
18
Q

basics of antiviral prophylaxis?

A
19
Q

Influenza Anti-viral pearls?

A

Zanamivir

20
Q

ACIP recommends routine influenza vaccinations for? what type?

A
  • all persons aged 6 months or older
  • QIIV (quadrivalent Inactivated influenza vaccine) - H1N1, H3N2, B yamagata, B Victoria
21
Q

vaccine pearls to tell patients?

A
  • efficacy varies by year and group
  • generally 50-70%, lower in special pop
  • In HIV patients, response related to CD4 count
  • Major mismatch occurs at least every 10 years.
  • Can be given in patients with egg allergies
  • Recombinant influenza vaccine (RIV, FluBloc) is available and contains no egg protein
  • Consultation with allergist to egg no longer recommended
  • Anaphylaxis to flu vaccine is still a CI.

Q

In patients hospitalized with CAP, what is the top 3 viral pathogens in >65 years old.

A
  1. Human rhinovirus
  2. influenza A or B
  3. Strep pneumo
24

What are the respiratory viruses in HSC transplant patients to watch out for? Tx?

A
26
Q

18 year old presents in march in portland OR in congregate facilitywith several days of fever, cough, chest pain, tachypnea hypoxia, and conjunctivitis with WBC 3.0, platelets 160, CRP 2.5, AST 75. 2 days later, in the ICU. You suspect?

  1. Pneumococcal PNA
  2. borrelia hermsii with ARDS
  3. Adenovirus
  4. Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome
  5. MRSA pneumonia
  6. Group A strep with TSS
A
  • Adenovirus.
  • Pneumococcal - can’t explain conjunctivitis
  • Hantavirus - no exposure
  • no MRSA -absence of effusion
  • no TSS

Q

71 y/o M w/COPD MI admitted in January for progressive dyspnea, cough, tachypnea, low grade fever, rhinitis. Spending more time with young child who has bronchiolitis. CXR shows bilateral perihilar infiltrates c/w pna. The recommended strategy pending lab results regarding isolation should be:

  1. put him in a regular 2 bedded room with standard precautions
  2. Put him in a single room with standard precautions
  3. put him in a single room with contact/droplet precautions
  4. put him in an airborne isolation room with airborne isolation
A

Put him in a single room with contact/droplet precautions

30
Q

Multiplex PCR of nasal swab shows RSV, patient has CXR showing bilateral infiltrates. Which of the following is correct?

  1. RSV is an incidental finding which may cause URI symptoms
  2. RSV likely accounts for an infiltrate. He should be immediately started on palivizumab (synagis) and ribavirin.
  3. RSV likely accounts for infiltrate. Support care is appropriate
  4. He has a high risk of CAP and should be started on vanc/zosyn.
A

RSV likely accounts for infiltrate. Supportive care is appropriate.

31
Q

basics of RMSV, hMPV in older adults?

A
32
Q

basics of RSV?

A
  • Incubation period 2-8 days
  • Diagnosed by PCR
  • No indication for palivizumab
  • inhaled ribavarin controversial
  • Oral ribavarin appears equally effective.
