Outline • Clostridium difficile • Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus • Hepatitis C • HIV • I will be discussing off-label use of some medications.
Question 1 • A 66 yo WM was recently admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. While admitted he was also diagnosed with C difficile diarrhea and has now completed a course of metronidazole. He is calling your office complaining of continued diarrhea. What do you do? • Tell him take a probiotic and Immodium. • Have him come to the office and submit stool for testing. • Retreat with an extended course of metronidazole. • Ask him if he has money saved, if he says yes, prescribe oral vancomycin. • Call your GI colleague and arrange for fecal transplantation.

Question 2 • In mid January, a 54 yo woman presents to hospital with increasing shortness of breath, productive cough and fever. She was diagnosed with influenza 1 month prior and treated with oseltamivir. Her chest Xray is consistent with lobar pneumonia. Sputum is positive for gram positive cocci in pairs. She takes paroxetine daily. What is the best course of action at this time? • Give her a another course of oseltamivir • Prescribe linezolid and send her home. • Do a chest CT to assess for empyema. • Admit her, start vancomycin, pip/tazo and cipro. • Admit her, start ceftaroline.
Question 3 • A 62 yo WF presents to your clinic complaining of fatigue. She asks you test her for everything. You order • TSH, B12, cbc, sed rate • Vit D • HIV, Hep C • Nothing. She needs reassurance alone. • Referral to therapist.
Question 3b • You test the patient from the previous question for Hepatitis C. Her Hep C IgG is positive, viral load is 600,000 and her genotype is 1a. Her US shows mild cirrhosis and her LFTs are 1.5 ULN. What is the next step in her management? • Test for HIV, Hepatitis A and B and syphilis. • Have her come back in 6 months and repeat testing. • Schedule her for a liver biopsy. • Refer her to ANYONE treating Hepatitis C. • Start her on telaprevir with peg-interferon and ribivirin.
Question 4 • A 28 yo man presents to your office. He states he has heard about a medicine that will keep him from getting HIV. He would like for you to prescribe that to him. You • Refer him to Infectious Diseases. • Ask him why he thinks he is going to be infected with HIV. • Ask him if he is infected with HIV. • Give him a package of condoms. • Prescribe FTC/TDF.
Summary • C difficileremains a serious health issue. Vancomycin and metronidazole remain the mainstays of therapy. Fidaxomicin (Dificid) is another treatment option. • MRSA skin and lung infections remain a serious health issues. Ceftaroline (Teflaro) has been approved for SSTI and may be used in pneumonia. • Ceftaroline = cefazolin + MRSA coverage • Screen everyone for Hepatitis C. • If ab positive, get viral load and genotype then send to specialist. • Screen everyone for HIV. Encourage safe sex practices to all of your patients. • If pre-exposure prophylaxis questions come up, send the patient to us.
