143
True about role of toxin in infectious diarrhea (Choices non-verbatim but same thought)
A. Staph aureus and Bacillus cereus produce toxins involving CNS that cause n&v
Neurotoxins are usually produced by bacteria outside the host and therefore cause symptoms soon
after ingestion. Included are the staphylococcal and Bacillus cereus toxins, which act on the central nervous system to produce vomiting.
B. Cholera toxin increase Cl and Na absorption that cause diarrhea
The prototypical enterotoxin is cholera
toxin...which increases Cl– secretion and decreases Na+ absorption, leading to a loss of fluid and the production of diarrhea.
C. Heat labile ETEC is similar to cholera toxin in producing diarrhea
```
Enterotoxigenic strains of E. coli may produce a protein called
heatlabile enterotoxin (LT) that is similar to cholera toxin and causes secretory diarrhea by the same mechanism.
```
D. Shiga toxin of E. coli is assoc with hemorrhagic colitis
Enteric pathogens that produce such cytotoxins include Shigella dysenteriae type 1, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Clostridium difficile. S. dysenteriae type 1 and Shiga toxin– producing strains of E. coli produce potentcytotoxins and have been associated with outbreaks of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

Best antibiotic prescribed in immunocompromised patient exposed in high risk area now experiencing inflammatory diarrhea
d. azithromycin
Most individuals who present with dysentery (bloody diarrhea and fever) should be treated empirically with an antimicrobial agent (e.g., a fluoroquinolone or a macrolide) pending microbiologic analysis of stool....Because of widespread resistance of Campylobacter to fluoroquinolones, especially in parts of Asia, a macrolide antibiotic such as erythromycin or azithromycin may be preferred for this infection. (19th ed., p857)

41. Which is true regarding rose spots?
Typically resolves after 2-5 days
Early physical findings of enteric fever include rash (“rose spots”; 30%), hepatosplenomegaly (3–6%), epistaxis,
and relative bradycardia at the peak of high fever (<50%). Rose spots (Fig. 190-2; see also Fig. 25e-9) make up a faint, salmon- colored, blanching, maculopapular rash located primarily on the trunk and chest. The rash is evident in ~30% of patients at the end of the first week and resolves without a trace after 2–5 days. Patients can have two or three crops of lesions, and Salmonella can be cultured from punch biopsies of these lesions. The faintness of the rash makes it difficult to detect in highly pigmented patients. (19th ed., p1051)

. Gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal perforation may occur during
3rd week
Most commonly occur in the third and fourth weeks of illness and result from hyperplasia, ulceration, and necrosis of the ileocecal Peyer's patches at the initial site of Salmonella infiltration.

180
Most common cause of nosocomial diarrhea:
Clostridium difficile
The most commonly diagnosed diarrheal illness acquired in the hospital, Clostridium Difficile Infection results from the ingestion of spores of C. difficile that vegetate, multiply, and secrete toxins, causing diarrhea and pseudomembranous colitis (PMC) in the most severe cases.
181
True about vaccine in Typhoid:

184
True in IRISH(?) among patient w/ HIV
Immune reactivation
In HIV infection, an exaggerated inflammatory reaction to a disease-causing microorganism that sometimes occurs when the immune system begins to recover following treatment with antiretroviral (ARV) drugs. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) occurs in two forms: "unmasking" IRIS refers to the flare-up of an underlying, previously undiagnosed infection soon after antiretroviral therapy (ART) is started; "paradoxical" IRIS refers to the worsening of a previously treated infection after ART is started. IRIS can be mild or life- threatening. Commonly seen in patient with low initial CD4 (Dr. Yapendon’s notes)

True or false
Antibiotic is not helpful in acute rhinosinovitus......causative agent is bacterial (sorry nakalimutant ko yung exact sentence.)
f?
Therapy in the form of firstgeneration antihistamines and nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory drugs may be beneficial in patients with particularly pronounced symptoms, and an oral decongestant may be added if nasal obstruction is particularly troublesome. Reduction of activity is prudent in instances of significant discomfort or fatigability. Antibacterial agents should be used only if bacterial complications such as otitis media or sinusitis develop. (19th ed., p1203)

Antibiotic stewardship definition. ( sorry di ko maalala exactly )
Refers to coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure the appropriate use of antimicrobials by promoting the selection of the optimal antimicrobial drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration. Seeks to achieve optimal clinical outcomes related to antimicrobial use, minimize toxicity, and other adverse effects, reduce costs of healthcare for infections, and limit antimicrobial resistant strains.

If patiend is uncertain of immunization, give tetanus toxoid and ig
Individuals sustaining tetanus-prone wounds should be immunized if their vaccination status is incomplete or unknown or if their last booster was given >10 years earlier. Patients sustaining wounds not classified as clean or minor should also undergo passive immunization with TIG. It is recommended that tetanus toxoid be given in conjunction with diphtheria toxoid (19th ed., p986)

Treatment/management for case in #48 (Male in er, lbm, ( mucoid bloodstreak) 3days eating in crustaceans, f vegetables and fried rice)
Most cases of V. parahaemolyticus– associated gastrointestinal illness, regardless of the presentation, are self-limited. Fluid replacement should be stressed. The role of antimicrobials is uncertain, but they may be of benefit in moderate or severe disease. Doxycycline, fluoroquinolones, or macrolides are usually used. (19th ed., p1065)
