Skin and soft Tissue infections Flashcards
Give me a break down of our soft tissue what is the main type of organism?
Mainly gram positive bacteria
Tell me the pathophysiology of SSTIs
What are the classifications of SSTIs
Tell me about bacterial etiology for SSTIs
IT IS STARRED KNOW THIS
Tell me about purulent infections (folliculitis)
Tell me about furuncles/carbuncles presentation/pathogenesis
Starred very important
Vanco is always first line unless nephrotoxicity
If its oral (linezolid/Tidezolid) are good options
How do I define the severity of infection
Usually moderate (IV/PO)
BUT know what makes it severe (hospital setting, ED setting its probably severe)
Severe is usually just IV
Tell me about antimicrobial treatment
This is STARRED
I & D = incision and drain
C & S = culture and susceptibility
Tell me the antibiotic treatment options for MRSA and MSSA
STARRED (Dosing does matter)
For doxycycline and bactrim make sure it is not resistant
If it is severe it is VANCO unless specified
Tell me about Purulent SSTI duration and prevention
STARRED
Tell me about non purulent infections (cellulitis) what does it look like?
Dont ask for a culture cause u cant really culture it
What are some other possible skin conditions vs cellulitis
Tell me when to consider hospital admission when it comes to cellulitis
Define the severity of infection defined for non purulent SSTIs
Tell me about Cellulitis etiology
Tell me about necrotizing infections
Go over cellulitis treatment and therapy considerations
Tell me about the various populations for SSTI etiology
Tell me about Necrotizing fascitis and the foundational knowledge
Describe the images of a defined portal of entry
What is the etiology and treatment for necrotizing fasciitis
Tell me about animal bite wounds and its causative organisms/treatment
Tell me about human bite wounds
Tell me about antibiotic dosing per guidelines for augmentin for bites
C
What are the causative organisms for diabetic foot infections
Tell me about diabetic foot infections and its pathophys and presentation
What are the organism risk factors for diabetic foot infections and the risk stratified
What findings suggest a more serious diabetes related foot infection
What factors should lead to consider hospitalization for diabetic foot infections?
What are diabetic foot infection treatment considerations
Even if treatment fails, if the erythema is less than 2 cm past margin of ulcer it is still mild
Tell me about mild infection severity for diabetic foot infections
Tell me about moderate or severe infection severity for diabetic foot infection
Tell me about the treatment for mild diabetic foot infection
Tell me about the treatment for moderate to severe diabetic food infection
What is Osteomyelitis
bone infection
What are the foundational knowledges for diabetic foot infection and what should I educate the patient on
What are the pathophysiology for osteomyelitis
What are the three categories of infection for osteomyelitis?
Tell me the diagnosis for osteomyelitis
STARRED
Tell me about hematogenous osteomyelitis and its clinicial findings
What are the organisms and selection agents for osteomyelitis? (oral options)
Tell me the foundational knowledge (charts) for osteomyelitis
Tell me about contiguous osteomyelitis
Tell me about contiguous osteomyelitis etiology and its treatments
What are some alternative treatments for contiguous osteomyelitis
What are the non pharm management for osteomyelitis
Summarize the OVIVA trial and what do I monitor for osteomyelitis
Tell me about chronic osteomyelitis and its treatment considerations
