Q

MTRNR1 increased risk hearing loss CIPC recommendation

A

Very high risk

Avoid aminoglycoside antibiotics unless the high risk of permanent hearing loss is outweighed by the severity of the infection and lack of saf or effective alternative

Q

MTRNR1 normal risk hearing loss CIPC recommendation

A

Normal risk

Use aminoglycoside antibiotics at standard doses for the shortes feasible course with therapeutic dose monitoring

Evaluate regularly for hearing loss

20
Q

MTRNR1 uncertain risk hearing loss CIPC recommendation

A

Weak or no evidence for MT RNR1

Use aminoglycoside antibiotics at standard doses for the shortes feasible course with therapeutic dose monitoring

Evaluate regularly for hearing loss

21
Q

What should you do if there is no effective alternative to an aminoglycoside antibiotic available

A

Evaluate for hearing loss frequency during therapy

22
Q

What antifungal medication has a CPIC recommendation?

A

Voriconazole

23
Q

Indication of voriconazole and MOA

A

Invasive aspergillosis

It impairs fungal growth and proliferation by weakening the fungal cell membrane

Inhibits CYP450 14 a-demethylase , disrupting estrogterol synthesis in fungi

24
Q

What is the gene of interest for voriconazole for the CIPIC guidelines

A

CYP2C19

25
Q

Voriconazole adverse effects

A

Hepatotoxicity
Neurotoxicity
Visual hallucinations
Encephalopathy
Neuropathy
Photopsia
Rash
Photosensitivity
Periostitis

26
Q

What therapeutic concentration rand of voriconazole should be measured after steady state is achieved?

A

Cmin/ trough

Invasive aspergillosis:1-5 ug/ml

27
Q

Individual that metabolizes voriconazole efficiently are at risk for

A

Treatment failure bc of low trough levels (<0.5) —> sub therapeutic

Extentsiom of hospital stay

28
Q

Individual that are NOT able to metabolizes voriconazole efficiently are at risk for

A

Adverse drug reactions , trough concentration >5-5.5 mg/L —> Supratherapeutic

Hepatotoxicity
Neurotoxicity
Visual hallucinations

29
Q

CYP2C19 ultra rapid metabolized

A

An individual carrying two increased function alleles

30
Q

CYP2C19 rapid metabilzer

A

An individual carrying one normal function allele and one increases function allele

31
Q

CYP2C19 normal metabilizer

A

Individual carrying two normal function alleles

32
Q

CYP2C19 intermediate metabilizer

A

An individual carrying one normal function allele and one no function allele or

one no function allele and one increased function allele

33
Q

CYP2C19 poor metabilizer

A

Carrying two no function allele

34
Q

Voriconazole dosing recommendations for Ultra rapid and rapid metabolizers

A

Consider an alternative antifungal agent not affected by CYP2C19 variations

Isavuconazole
Posaconazole
Liposomal amphotericin B

Potential SUBtheraputic levels

35
Q

Voriconazole dosing recommendations for poor metabolizers

A

Consider an alternative antifungal agent not affected by CYP2C19 variations
