  2. Outline • Clostridium difficile • Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus • Hepatitis C • HIV • I will be discussing off-label use of some medications.

  3. 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.

  4. C. difficilebackground • Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacillus(“Difficile” because it is difficult to culture) • Accounts for 20-30% cases of antibiotic-Major cause of hospital infection, morbidity and mortality. • Present epidemic strain (BI/NAP1/027)first reported in the US in 2005 • Now reported from 40 US states and all Canadian providences • Comprises 36% of all C difficileinfection (CDI) associated • Rates continue to increase in North America Gerding D Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2010; 31(S1):S32-S34

  5. CDI Clinical manifestations • Range from symptomless carriage to fatal pseudomembranous colitis • 96% have received antibiotics within the previous 14 days • Fever, abdominal cramps, peripheral leukocytosis, and hypoalbuminemia • WBC can exceed 30,000-50,000 cells/mL and be indicative of severity Kelly CP and JT LaMont. NEJM 2008; 359: 1932-1940.

  6. CDI Treatment Adapted from Cohen et al. ICHE 2010; 31: 431-455 and Kelly CP. NEJM 2008; 359: 1932-1940.

  7. Fidaxomicin (Dificid) • FDA approved in 2011: treatment of Clostridium difficileassociated diarrhea • Granted New Technology Add On-Payment by CMS (August 2012) • Mechanism of action • Bacteriocidal against C. dificilein vitro, inhibiting RNA synthesis by RNA polymerases • Macrolide but does not confer cross-resistance • Low rate of spontaneous resistance (although specific mutation Val-II43-Gly has been identified) Dificid Package Insert: http://www.dificid.com/sites/default/files/prescribing.pdf

  8. Fidaxomicin facts • Dose is 200mg po twice daily x 10 days • Retail cost: $4000/course (cash) • Very little systemic absorption, essentially no dose adjustment with various other medications, no adjustment with renal or hepatic impairment • Warnings: hypersensitivity reaction (dyspnea, rash, pruritis, angioedema of mouth, throat, face), may report previous allergy to macrolides • Adverse events/side effects: same rate of blood dyscrasias, GI symptoms (N/V/abd pain/GI bleed) as vancomycin Dificid Package Insert: http://www.dificid.com/sites/default/files/prescribing.pdf

  9. Fidaxomicin data • Two randomized, double-blinded controlled studies • Non-inferiority design • Fidaxomicin 200mg po BID vsvancomycin 125 mg poqid x 10 days in patients with CDAD Dificid Package Insert: http://www.dificid.com/sites/default/files/prescribing.pdf

  10. Other CDAD Treatment Options • Rifaximin- 400 mg BID for 14 days • Nitazoxanide- 500mg BID for 7 – 10 days • Fecal transplant - successful in uncontrolled series • Monoclonal antibodies - against toxins A&B • NontoxigenicC difficile 1.

  11. Question 2 • In mid January, a 54 yo woman presents to the 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. What is the best course of action at this time? • Give her another course of oseltamivir • Prescribe linezolid and send her home. • Do a chest CT with angiography to assess for PE. • Admit her, start vancomycin, pip/tazo and cipro. • You lost me at gram positive cocci…

  45. 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.

  46. 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.

  47. 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.

  48. 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.
