strongiloydes life cycle?
larvae penetrate the intestinal mucosa then travel to through bloodstrem to lungs and into alveoli and ascend to glottis which is then swallowed and creates autoinfection
risk of other issues with strongiloydes?
disrupts intestinal mucosa therefore at risk for bacteremia with typical GI organisms
sx of strongiloydes?
immunocompromised person with travel with pulmonary infiltrates and abominal pain, shock, meningitis with hypereosinophilia

severely immunocompromised. Regular people can just have catheters replaced
what to monitor when treating with daptomycin?
CK levels weekly
treatment for carbapenem resistant E coli?
colistin
tx for acenitobacter baumanni?
carbapenem but also add colistin for lung penetration and decrease side effects
abx for whipples?
penicilin, or doxy
anemia in malaria?

need to cover staph and anaerobe, but in IC think MRSA
anterior neck infection considerations?
think less staph but need anaerobic coverage
