Presentation Transcript

  1. Infections In The Immunocompromized Host Components of Host Defenses: Mechanical barriers Skin, mucous membranes, epiglottis, cilia. Granulocytes Cell mediated Immunity Macrophages, T-lymphocytes, NKC, cytokines Humoral Immunity B-lymphocytes, immunoglobulins, complements Spleen

  2. Infections In The Immunocompromized Host The importance of infections in IC host: Increasing numbers of immunocompromized patients. Seriousness of infections in those patients. Infections with unusual, nonpathogenic microorganisms. Atypical presentation of infections by common pathogens

  3. Infections In The Immunocompromized Host Causes of immune deficiency: Primary (congenital); Rare, more common in children e.g chronic granulomatus disease, combined immunedifiency syndrome, specific Ig deficiency, others. Secondary (acquired); The commonest, there are many causes like; HIV, Extremes of age, pregnancy, infections, malignancy, chemotherapy, steroids, burns, trauma, procedures, connective tissue diseases, chronic diseases like DM,CRF etc.

  4. Infections In The Immunocompromized HostHostDefects and Associated Prevalent Pathogens

  5. Fever In Neutropenic Patient Definition: Fever: Oral temperature of 38c for more than two hours or single temperature of 38.3c or more. Neutropenia: A Neutrophil count of <500 cells/mm³ or a count of <1000 cells/mm³ with a predicted decline to 500/mm Approach to patient: Careful history and examination, investigations (like blood cultures, urine culture, CXR, others), then start antibiotic therapy to cover the most likely organisms.

Infections inOrgan Transplant Recipients Common infection in Specific Organ transplant: Bone marrow transplant Bloodstream infections, pneumonia, viral infections Kidney transplant Urinary tract infections. Liver transplant Intraabdominal infections. Heart and Heart-Lung Chest, Mediastinitis transplant

  17. Infections in Solid-Organ Transplant Recipients • Factors affecting the incidence of infections: The type of organ transplanted. The degree of immunosupression. The need for additional antirejection therapy. The occurrence of surgical complications. Presence of latent infection in the donor or recipient. CID;2001 (supp 1):S5-S8
