  6. Case History: Question • A 17-year-old girl presented to the emergency room with lower extremity weakness. She had prolonged recent outdoor exposure. Her weakness was symmetrical and had begun about 8 hours prior to coming to the ER; sensation is intact. A tick is found embedded in her scalp. The most appropriate course of action is:1. Give IV ceftriaxone x 14 days2. Remove tick and observe closely3. Give IM streptomycin x 10 days4. Arrange for emergent plasmapharesis

He is started on amoxicillin, but 4 days later returns with headache, fever, and myalgias. Labs show leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and increased hepatic transaminases. The most appropriate course of action is: 1. Give high dose corticosteroids 2. Give PO Doxycycline 3. Give IV Ceftriaxone 4. Give IV Gentamicin

  26. Ehrlichiosis: Treatment • First Line- Doxycycline: 100 mg PO bid x 7-10 days • Second Line- Chloramphenicol- Rifampin

  27. Rabies

  28. In the United States, how do most people get rabies?

  29. Case History: Question Silver-Haired Bat • A 29-year-old male is bitten on the shoulder by a bat and the bat escaped. What percent of Rabies Immune Globulin should be given at the wound site?1. 25%2. 50%3. 75%4. 100%

  30. Rabies Postexposure ProphylaxisRabies Immune Globulin • “Administer 20 IU/kg body weight.  If anatomically feasible, the full dose should be infiltrated around the wound(s) and any remaining volume should be administered IM at an anatomical site distant from vaccine administration. CDC and Prevention. MMWR. 1999;48 (RR-1): 275-9.

  31. Rabies: Post-Exposure Prophylaxis Not Previously Vaccinated • Wound cleansing • *Rabies Immune Globulin • +Rabies Vaccine: day 0,3,7,14 *Administer vaccine as IM in deltoid+Administer full dose of RIG around wound if possible; remaining volume give at site distant from vaccine site *Note: Number of recommended doses of rabies vaccine changed from 5 to 4 (ACIP June 24, 2009) From: CDC. MMWR 2008;57:1-26.
