INFECTIOUS DISEASEBOARD REVIEW
Patricia D. Jones, MD
Question 11
A 28 yo man is evaluated at a community health center for a 10-day history of sore throat, HA, fever, anorexia, and muscle aches. Two days ago, a rash developed on his trunk and abdomen. He had been previously healthy and has not had any contact with ill persons. He has had multiple male and female sexual partners and infrequently uses condoms. He has been tested for HIV infection several times, most recently 8 months ago; all results were negative.
On physical examination, temperature is 38.6 C There are several small ulcers on the tongue and buccal mucosa and cervical and supraclavicular lymphadenopathy. A faint maculopapular rash is present on the trunk and abdomen. A rapid plasma reagin test is ordered.
Which of the following diagnostic studies should also be done at this time?A. CD4 cell count measurementB. Epstein- Barr virus IgM measurementC. HIV RNA viral load measurementD. Skin biopsy

Pathophysiology of HIV Infection
http://www.nwabr.org/education/pdfs/hiv_lifecycle.jpg
Acute Retroviral Syndrome
2-6 weeks post infection Check HIV RNA Viral Load and HIV antibody
Fever (96%) Lymphadenopathy (74%) Exudative Pharyngitis (70%) Rash (70%) Myalgia or arthralgia (54%) Diarrhea (32%) Headache (32%) N/V (27%) Hepatosplenomegaly (14%)) Weight Loss (13%) Thrush (12%) Neurologic Symptoms (12%)
Screening and Diagnosis
Screening: Routine HIV testing in all patients aged 13-64, those beginning treatment for TB, those being treated for STDs, those who engage in high-risk behaviors.
Diagnosis: Antibodies appear in the circulation 2-12 weeks following initial infection. ELISA—99%specific, 98.5 % sensitive Western Blot—100% sensitive, 100% specific
Detects antibodies to core (p17, p24, p55), polymerase (p31, p51, p66) and envelope (gp41, gp120, gp160) proteins
Positive: Reactive to gp120 and either gp41 or p24 Negative: Nonreactive Indeterminate: Other band pattern that is not clearly
positive. Exposed persons with negative initial ELISA should have
repeat testing at 6 weeks and 3 months.
Laboratory Testing
HIV RNA Viral Load: predicts prognosis and the rate of decline of CD4 lymphocytes.
Opportunistic infections, blood transfusions, herpes outbreaks and immunizations may transiently increase viral load.
Check 4 weeks after initiation or changes in therapy.
Goal <50 copies/ml—should be achieved within 6 months of beginning effective therapy.
Monitor every 3-4 months
Preventative Care
Routine Immunizations Routine Breast, Colon Cancer and
Hyperlipidemia Screening Cervical Cancer/Anal Cancer Screening Opportunistic Disease Prophylaxis Pneumovax every 5 years Influenza annually Hep B, A unless documented immunity PPD annually
Prophylaxis for Opportunistic Infections:
Pneumocystic jirovecii (PCP): Indications: CD4<200, CD4<14%, Recurrent Candidiasis,

Complications of HIV Infection/Therapy
Cardiovascular: Increased exposure to protease inhibitors increases
dyslipidemia and increased risk of MI.
Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome: Suppression of viral replication allows the immune
system to regenerate-pathologic inflammatory state that tends to occur in patient with advanced HIV just starting HAART. Occurs 3 days-5years after initiation:
Unmasking: Occult subclinical infection-HAART improves immune function and the ability to mount an effective response against pathogens.
Paradoxical: Recurrence of a previously successfully treated infection. Primarily due to the presence of persistent antigens.
Management-Conservative and Steroids in severe reactions.
Opportunistic Infections Cryptococcal Infection:
Induction: Amphotericin B+/- Flucytosine for 14 days Consolidation: Fluconazole for 8 weeks
CMV Infection: Retina, GI tract, Nervous system Induction/Maintenance: Ganciclovir Alternatives: Foscarnet/Cidofovir
Mycobacterium avium complex Infection: Fever, weight loss, HSM, Malaise, Abdominal pain Treatment: Macrolide and Ethambutol +/-Rifampin
Pneumocystis jirovecii Pneumonia Fever, dry cough, dyspnea, bilateral interstitial infiltrates Diagnose by silver stain of induced sputum or bronchoscopic sample showing cysts 3 week TMP/SMX Steroids for PaO2 <70 mm Hg, A-a gradient >35 mm Hg
Toxoplasmosis: Fever, Neurologic deficits, Ring-enhancing lesions on MRI Sulfadiazine + Pyrimethamine + Folinic Acid F/U MRI after 14 days. If no improvement, biopsy to rule out CNS lymphoma.
Question 8
A 75 yo man with type 2 DM is evaluated in the ED for a draining chronic ulcer on the left foot, erythema, and fever. Drainage initially began 3 weeks ago. Current medications include metformin and glyburide.
On physical examination, he is not ill appearing. Temperature is 37.9 C; other vital signs are normal. The left foot is slightly warm and erythematous. A plantar ulcer that is draining purulent material is present over the 4th metatarsal joint. A metal probe makes contact with the bone. The remainder of the examination is normal.
The leukocyte count is normal , and ESR is 70 mm/h. A plain radiograph of the foot is normal.
Gram stain of the purulent drainage at the ulcer base shows numerous leukocytes, gram-positive cocci in clusters, and gram-negative rods.
Which of the following is the most appropriate management now? A. Begin ImipenemB. Begin Vancomycin and CeftazidimeC. Begin Vancomycin and MetronidazoleD. Perform bone biopsy.
Osteomyelitis Intense suppurative reaction in
bone associated with edema and thrombosis which can compromise vascular supply leading to areas of dead bone—sequestra
New bone reforms around the sequestra—involucrum
20% Hematogenous Most common site intervertebral
disk space and two adjacent vertebrae
Patients on HD, sickle cell, bacteremia and endocarditis
40-60% cases S. aureus 80% Contiguous
Most infections are polymicrobial
http://www.eorthopod.com/images/ContentImages/child/child_back_pain/child_back_pain_osteomyelitis.jpg
Diagnosis of Osteomyelitis
Bone Biopsy: Gold Standard Open vs. CT-guided aspirate
Radiograph: Takes 2 weeks to show acute changes. Sensitivity 60%, Specificity 60%
MRI Acute changes noted within days Sensitivity 90%, Specificity 80% False-positives: Fractures, Tumors, Healed
Osteomyelitis Nuclear Studies
Diabetes Mellitus-Associated Osteomyelitis
Superficial foot infections lead to cellulitis and disseminate to cause abscess, necrotizing fasciitis and osteomyelitis.
Physical Exam: Visible bone in ulcer base or contact with bone upon insertion of
metal probe at the ulcer base (PPV 90%, NPV 60%) Ulcers > 2x2 cm and present for >2 weeks and ESR >70
associated with underlying osteomyelitis. Cultures obtained from a sinus tract or ulcer base usually do
not correlate with deep pathogens causing bone infection. Treatment
Zosyn, Unasyn, Timentin 3rd/4th generation Cephalosporin + Flagyl PCN-allergic: Clindamycin + Fluoroquinolone IV Antibiotics for 4-6 weeks Debridement
Vertebral Osteomyelitis
S. aureus-most common organism, CONS, GNR and Candida
Gradually worsening back/neck pain, fever (50% pts), point tenderness.
Blood cultures positive in up to 75% pts If blood cultures negative, CT-guided biospy to
guide therapy Treatment:
Vanc + Antipseudomonal cephalosporin or extended-spectrum beta-lactam antibiotic.
6-8 weeks duration
Question 43
A 70 yo man is evaluated in the ED for the acute onset of fever, cough productive of yellow sputum, right-sided pleuritic chest pain, and dizziness. He has a history of DM, HTN treated with HCTZ, lisinopril, glyburide, and metformin.
On physical examination, temperature is 35C, BP 110/70, P 120, RR 36. He appears to be in acute respiratory distress. Pulmonary examination reveals dullness to percussion, increased fremitus, and crackles at the right lung base. He is oriented only to person.
Laboratory Studies: ABG: (Ambient Air)
Hct 42% pO2 50 mm Hg
WBC 23,000 pCO2 30 mm Hg
Platelet 150,000 pH 7.48
BUN 46
Creatinine 1.4
CXR shows a right lower lobe infiltrate.
Which of the following is the most appropriate management of this patient?A. Admit to general medical floorB. Admit to the ICUC. Observe in the ED for 12 hoursD. Treat as an outpatient.
Community-Acquired Pneumonia Definition: Infectious PNA in patient living
independently in the community of hospitalized for less than 48 hours.
Typical: Rapid onset of high fever, productive cough,
pleuritic chest pain Usual microorganisms: S. pneumo, H. influenzae, M.
catarrhalis Atypical:
Low grade fever, nonproductive cough, no chest pain
M. pneumonia, Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila
Diagnosis
CXR Cavitary lesions w/ air-
fluid levels—abscess due to staphylococci, anaerobes or GNR
Cavitary lesions w/o air-fluid levels suggest TB or fungal infection
Blood cultures and sputum gram stain/culture are particularly useful in severely ill patients
Urine Legionella antigen-only positive in cases caused by serogroup I.
