Mix3 Flashcards
Preferred therapies for HBV
Entecavir and tenofovir
Due to low resistance and the ability to be used in decompensated cirrhosis
Trichinosis
Intestinal stage(within 1wk): asymptomatic or abdominal pain, N/V, diarrhea
Muscle stage (within 3wk): fever, subungual hemorrhage, muscle pain/tenderness/swelling/weakness, periorbital edema, chemosis , conjunctival/retinal hemorrhage
Lab: eosinophilia >20%, increased CPK, increased WBC
Triad: periorbital edema, myositis, eosinophilia
INH induced peripheral neuropathy
Due to excretion of B6 with INH from kidneys
Higher risk if: DM, pregnant, malnourished, uremia, alcoholism, HIV, epilepsy
Numbness and tingling in a stocking-glove distribution
PEx: deficit in vibration and proprioception
Over time: affects touch, pain, temprature sensation
The most common behavioral RF for TB
Substance abuse
INH hepatitis management
Immediate discontinuation
More frequent if: alcoholic, liver disease, >50 yo
If subclinical hepatic injury by INH
No signs/symptoms of hepatitis
Liver enzymes < 100
In10-20% of pts
continue INH with close F/U
Next step after positive PPD?
CXR
Symptom review
Positive PPD in immigrant < 5y
10 mm
Positive PPD in IDU
10 mm
Positive PPD in DM
10 mm
Positive PPD in prolonged CS therapy
10 mm
Positive PPD in ESRD
10 mm
Positive PPD in leukemia
10 mm
Positive TB in children <4y
10 mm
Positive PPD in malabsorption syndromes
10 mm
5mm PPD is positive if:
HIV Organ transplant ImSup Changes consistent with previous TB on CXR Recent contact of known TB
Canadian vs US cutoff value for positive PPD
10 vs 15 (US)
Latent TB treatment
INH+ Rif weekly x 3mo under direct observation (not for HIV)
INH 6-9mo
Rifampin 4mo
INH + rif 4mo
Urine culture and gram smear in gonorrhea vs chlamydia
Negative smear and culture in chlamydia
Gram stain shows 95% of gonorrhea infection
UTI with urease producing bacterium
Urinary alkalization (pH>8)
Proteus mirabilis, klebsiella pneumoniae.
High pH reduces solubility of phosphate, raising the risk of struvite stones (Mg ammonia P)
Recommendation to pt with vaginal trichononiasis
Oral Metro or tinidazole Refrain from alcohol Treatment of partner (testing of partner is unnecessary) Abstain from sexual activity until both partners treated
Tx of choice for bacterial vaginosis
Oral metro.
Alternative: clinda
Autonomic control of erectile function
Sympathetic: T11-T12
Parasympathetic: S2-S4
Acute AUB in adolescents. Reasons
The most common: immature HPO axis resulting unovulatory cycles
Also: hemostasis disorders, pregnancy
