A 55-year-old man is brought to the local hospital emergency department by ambulance. His wife reports that he had been in his normal state of health until 3 days ago when he developed a fever and a productive cough. During the last 24 hours he has complained of a headache and is increasingly confused. His wife reports that his medical history is significant only for hypertension, for which he takes hydrochlorothiazide and lisinopril, and that he is allergic to amoxicillin. She says that he developed a rash many years ago when prescribed amoxicillin for bronchitis. In the emergency department, the man is febrile (38.7°C [101.7°F]), hypotensive (90/54 mm Hg), tachypneic (36/min), and tachycardic (110/min). He has no signs of meningismus but is oriented only to person. A stat chest x-ray shows a left lower lung consolidation consistent with pneumonia. The plan is to start empiric antibiotics and perform a lumbar puncture to rule out bacterial meningitis. What antibiotic regimen should be started to treat both pneumonia and meningitis? Does the history of amoxicillin rash affect the antibiotic choice? Why or why not?

A 19-year-old woman with no significant past medical history presents to her college medical clinic complaining of a 2-week history of foul-smelling vaginal discharge. She denies any fever or abdominal pain but does report vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse. When questioned about her sexual activity, she reports having vaginal intercourse, at times unprotected, with two men in the last 6 months. A pelvic examination is performed and is positive for mucopurulent discharge from the endocervical canal. No cervical motion tenderness is present. A first-catch urine specimen is obtained to be tested for chlamydia and gonococcus. A pregnancy test is also ordered as the patient reports she "missed her last period." Pending these results, the decision is made to treat her empirically for gonococcal and chlamydial cervicitis. What are two potential treatment options for her possible chlamydial infection? How does her potential pregnancy affect the treatment decision?

A 45-year-old man with no medical history was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) 10 days ago after suffering third-degree burns over 40% of his body. He had been relatively stable until the last 24 hours. Now he is febrile (39.5°C [103.1°F]), and his white blood cell count has risen from 8,500 to 20,000/mm3. He has also had an episode of hypotension (86/50 mm Hg) that responded to a fluid bolus. Blood cultures were obtained at the time of his fever and results are pending. The ICU attending physician is concerned about sepsis and decides to treat with empiric combination therapy directed against Pseudomonas. The combination therapy includes tobramycin. The patient weighs 70 kg (154 lb) and has an estimated creatinine clearance of 90 mL/min. How should tobramycin be dosed using once-daily and conventional dosing strategies? How should each regimen be monitored for efficacy and toxicity?

Key facts about TB

Second only to HIV/AIDS as the greatest killer worldwide

In 2010, 8.8 million people fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died from TB.

Over 95% of TB deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and it is among the top three causes of death for women aged 15 to 44.

In 2009, there were about 10 million orphan children as a result of TB deaths among parents. 8 infants exposed to TB at Sacramento hospital (just yesterday)

leading killer of people living with HIV causing one quarter of all deaths.Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB) is present in virtually all countries surveyed.

Millennium Development Goal to reverse the spread of TB by 2015.

Drug Interactions of Rifampin

induces Cytochrome P450

Increases elimination of several drugs i.e cyclosporine, anticonvulsantsProtease inhibitors

Rifabutin(can be used)

Atypical Mycobacteria

• Accounts for 10% of non-tuberculous or atypical mycobacterium infections

• generally non communicable

• less susceptible than M tuberculosis to antituberculous drugs

• erythromycin, sulfonamides, or tetracycline, which are not active against M tuberculosis, may be effective

•chronic ID skin, peripheral nerves and mucous membranes (eyes, respiratory tract).

•also known as Hansen's disease as bacillus causing it was discovered by G.A. Hansen in 1873.

•common in warm, wet areas in the tropics & subtropics.

A 45-year-old homeless man presents to the emergency department complaining of a 2-month history of fatigue, weight loss (10 kg), fevers, night sweats, and a productive cough. He is currently living on the street but has spent time in homeless shelters and prison in the last several years. He reports drinking 2–3 pints of hard alcohol per day for the last 15 years, and also reports a history of intravenous drug use. In the emergency department, a chest x-ray shows a right apical infiltrate. Given the high suspicion for pulmonary tuberculosis, the patient is placed in respiratory isolation. His first sputum smear shows many acid-fast bacilli, and a rapid HIV antibody test returns with a positive result. What drugs should be started for treatment of presumptive pulmonary tuberculosis? Does the patient have a heightened risk of developing medication toxicity? If so, which medication(s) would be likely to cause toxicity?
