Infectious 1 Flashcards
What to do next if the patient tests positive for HIV?
Start ART irrespective of CD4 count Determine CD4 count Determine viral load Determine drug resistance Prophylaxis based on CD4 Vaccination
Prophylaxis based on CD4 and other indications?
Primary prophylaxis
Cd4<200, Oropharengisl candidiasis, history of PCP-Dailey Cotri for PCP
<100(and positive serology for Toxo)–Daily Cotri for Toxo
<150 and live in an endemic area:Itraconazole for HC
Vancyclovir/acyclovir–For recurrent herpes
VarIG or IVIG administer within 4 days of exposure: For patients with close contact with shingle/Cp and no previous infection history and negative serology
Azithromycin for MAC and fluconazole for fungal infection not recommended more
Vaccine?
Varicella zoster-for patients with negative serology and have no shingles/chickenpox
Pneumococcal
Influenza
HAV and HBV
Alternative for COTRI?
For PCP:Dapsone,atovaquone and Pentamidine
For Toxo:Dapsone + Pyramitamine +lukoverine or Atovaqone +- pyramitamine + lukoverine
Lyme disease?
Transmitted by Ixodus thick bite
&-14 dy incubation
Caused by borrelia bergdoferi
Symptoms based on the stage
Common in the northeastern United States.
Stage 1—early localized: erythema migrans
(typical “bulls-eye” configuration B is
pathognomonic but not always present),
flu-like symptoms.
Stage 2—early disseminated: secondary lesions,
carditis, AV block, facial nerve (Bell) palsy,
migratory myalgias/transient arthritis.
Stage 3—late disseminated: encephalopathy,
chronic arthritis, peripheral neuropathy.
CSF:Lymphocytic predominancy
Managment?
Localized(EM)–Doxycyclin, amoxicillin for pregnants and azithromycin if patient allergic for both
Disseminated(Stage 2 &3)–IV ceftriaxone
Rhino cerebral mucormycosis CM?
caused by rhizopus specious(Irregular, broad, non septate hyphae branching at wide angles)
acute/progressive
Purulent nasal discharge, Fever, sinus pain,headache, and nasal congestion
Necrotic innovation of palate, orbit, and brain
Rhinocerebral, frontal lobe abscess; cavernous sinus thrombosis and cranial nerve involvement
Diagnosis and treatment?
Sinus endoscopy with biopsy and culture
Liposomal amphoteracine B
Surgical debridement
Treat underlying cause(hyperglycemia)
Risk for RCM?
DM(ketoacidosis)
Hematologic malignancy
Solid-organ or stem cell transplant
Prevention for meningiococcus?
Droplet precaution
Chemophrophlaxix(rifampin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriaxone, minocycline, and spiramycin)
Risk for PCP?
AIDS(<200 CD4) and Chronic Immunosuppressive therapy
This patient should receive COTRI prophylaxis
Clinical manifestation?
Indolent(AIDS) and respiratory failure(IST)
Fever, Dry cough, Hypoxia, and dyspnea
Increase LDH
Diffiuse bilateral reticulonodular infilitrate on CXR
Diagnosis?
Induced sputum or bronchoalveolar lavage
Managment?
Cotri(Po for mild and moderate and IV for sever) +/- Corticosteroid
AIDS: ART initiation within 2 weeks (after hypoxia improve)
Steroid and PCP?
Cotri lyse bacteria and worsen inflammation--worsen pulmonary function Indication saturation < 92% Spo2 < 70 mmg PA-Pa gradient more than 35
What test to do inpatient with IE with S.Bovis?
Colonoscopy(especialy type I S.B)
Diagnosis of early Disseminated and late disseminated LD?
Serology
Bacillary angiomatosis RF?
Bartonella hanselae/quintana Cat scratch, Body/hair lice bitee, or homelessness Sever IC(<100 CD4)
CM?
Vascular cutanous lesion (papular ,pruritic, prple, pedanculated) Systemic symptoms(fever, fatigue, and night sweet) Organ involvement(liver, bone and CNS)
Diagnosis and managment?
Biopsy:Microscopy/histopathology
Doxycycline/azithromycin
ART for HIV
Clinical manifestation of influenza?
abrupt onset of symptom
Peak Jan-Feb
mild UR symptoms
High fever (possibly predominate), headache, and myalgia
Variable but often unremarkable PE finding(mild pharyngeal erythema w/o exudate)
Managment?
For the healthy patient: treat symptomatically and not require diagnostic modality
For patients present within 48 hours of symptoms and have the risk for influenza complication: Give antiviral (e.g oseltamivir)
Who are at risk of developing complication?
Chronic lung disease (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD] and cystic fibrosis) Endocrine disorders (such as diabetes mellitus) Heart disease (such as congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure, and coronary artery disease) Kidney diseases.
Streptococcal pharyngitis?
Variable onset of symptom
Predominant pharyngeal symptom
variable possible fever/myalgia
Pharyngeal erythema, tonsilar hypertrophy, and exudate, tender cervical LN
Viral URTI?
slow, stepwise, migratory or evolving
Rhinorrhea, coryza, sneezing, and mild pharengitis
Nasal edema, mild pharyngeal erythema or normal
Mild systemic system
Managment of neutropenic fever?
Blood and urine culture
empiric broad-spectrum antibiotic with antipseudomonal coverage(e.g cefepime, meropenem, and piperacillin -Tezobactem)
Empiric antifungal with patient > 4 days of fever after antibiotic initiation
Neutropenia?
ANC<1500
Sever:ANC <500
ANC<1000:high risk for infection
Kaposi sarcoma?
Vivacious papular lesions predominantly affect the face, oral mucosa, perineum, and lower extremity
Lymphedema can present(due to cytokine and Vessel obstruction)
Can involve GI and other organs
Caused by HHV8
The presence of other OI increase the risk of devt and exacerbation
Is due to vascular proliferation
Diagnosis?
If atypical lesion or presence of systemic symptoms biopsy: To rule out BA
