MALDI-TOF • Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time Of Flight
MALDI TOF Analysis Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization • Laser light pulses (Nitrogen Laser) • Matrix molecules readily absorb laser light (photon energy), creating an excited energy state • The matrix is acidic, and donates positive charge to the analytes
MALDI-TOF Analysis Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization • Localized heating causes micro-explosion of analyte • Collisions with neutral sample facilitate charge • transfer to/from excited matrix molecules • Ions “desorb” from the target surface Matrix Proteins
Intensity m/z MALDI TOF Analysis: Time of Flight (TOF) Detector • Following acceleration, the charged ions are allowed to drift through a free field toward the detector • The speed of travel (time of flight) is proportional to the ion’s mass (smaller ions reach the detector first) Drift region

Appropriate Management of Patients WithViral Meningitis • Patients with suspected viral meningitis should be treated as if they are infected with bacterial meningitis until a bacterial etiology has been excluded, at which point antibiotic therapy should be discontinued1 • Antiviral therapy is not available for the majority of viral agents causing meningitis, including enterovirus2,3 • Most patients recover completely within 7–10 days of disease onset; however complications such as seizures and coma occur in ~10% of cases2,4 • Supportive therapy should be provided to appropriately manage patients3 PCR=polymerase chain reaction.

Benefits of Early Detection of Viral Meningitis With Enteroviral PCR • Early detection of enteroviral meningitis with PCR can improve patient care and afford significant cost savings by reducing the duration of unnecessary hospitalizations and parenteral antibiotics • In a retrospective cohort study of children with meningitis, PCR decreased the time to enteroviral diagnosis from 53 hours to 12 hours For every hour saved, length of stay and duration of parenteral antibiotics decreased by 0.3 hours Median hospital stay decreased from 44 to 28 hours Median duration of parenteral antibiotics decreased from 48 to 36 hours 1:00 PCR=polymerase chain reaction.

Procalcitonin Facts • Simple blood test specific for bacterial infection • In healthy people, PCT concentration are found <0.05ng/ml • Concentrations >0.5ng/ml can be interpreted as abnormal • During severe bacterial infections and sepsis, blood levels rise rapidly (up to x100K) – no elevation from viral infections • Standard of Care for much of Europe in the management of infection and sepsis
Highly specific induction – Produced all tissue Healthy Sepsis In relevant bacterial infection, PCT is produced and released into circulation from the entire body Müller B. et al., JCEM 2001
Induction and release of PCT due to bacterial infection Alternative synthesis of PCT Bacterial toxins (gram+/-) and cytokines stimulateproduction of PCT in all parenchymal tissues PCT is immediatelyreleased into bloodstream This process can be blocked during viral infections Adapted from Christ-Crain et al. 2005
Induction and elimination of PCT • Three elements are required to the induction process • Stimulus – bacterial toxin or trauma • Differentiated parenchymal cells • Adhering monocytes • PCT plasma concentrations • Significant after 6 hours • Peak values – 12 to 24 hours • Half-life - about 24 hours • Not impaired by neutropenia or other immunocomprised states
PCT values correlate directly with severity of bacterial load • In critically ill patients, PCT levels elevate in correlation to the severity of bacterial infection. Also excellent prognostic marker. • Integrating PCT in sepsis management has shown improved patient outcomes (ICU LOS and total length of ABX therapy) and lower mortality.
Clinical Situations where PCT may be useful • Diagnosis of bacteremia/sepsis in adults and neonates (>72 hours old) • Differentiating bacterial vs nonbacterial pneumonia • Differentiating bacterial vs aseptic meningitis • Diagnosis of bacterial infection in febrile neutropenia • Diagnosis of septic arthritis
PCT release in the absence of infection • Newborn <48hr-increased PCT values (physiological peak) • Primary inflammation syndrome following extensive trauma: extensive burns, major surgery (cardiac, transplant, abdominal) • Medullary C-cell cancers of the thyroid, pulmonary small-cell carcinoma • Prolonged circulatory failure (cardiogenic shock, hemorrhagic shock, thermal shock) • Malaria & some fungal infections
Key Considerations when Interpreting PCT Levels • Consider the clinical context-(pts in septic shock should not have ABX withheld if PCT is normal) • Serial measurements are preferred and may be very helpful • Consider the dynamics of the disease-(PCT levels fall after trauma if no infection present. If PCT levels are rising after ABX, consider changing ABX or looking for drainable source of infection) • Keep in mind conditions that will cause PCT levels to rise
PCT evidence-based use for various ID conditions Riedel S. Diagn Microbiol Infect Dis. 73 (2012); 221-7.
Diagnostic accuracy of PCT compared to other biomarkers used in sepsis
Algorithm-based or rule-guided decisions • May be general or disease specific • Simple or more involved • Assist in: • Should antibiotic therapy be initiated • Initial antibiotic intensity • Repeat PCT • Course adjustment • De-escalation of therapy • Discontinuation of therapy
