invasive candidisis.pptx
Invasive fungal infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals. Candida species are among the most common causes of invasive fungal infections. Risk factors include prolonged hospitalization, broad-spectrum antibiotic use, presence of intravascular catheters, immunosuppressive therapy, and surgery. Early diagnosis of invasive candidiasis is challenging but important, as delays in antifungal treatment are associated with increased mortality. Treatment involves use of antifungal agents such as echinocandins, with anidulafungin recommended as first-line therapy due to its efficacy and limited drug interactions. Management also requires consideration of infection site, duration of therapy, and susceptibility testing when possible.
Guidelines of diagnosis, prevension and treatment of Infective endocarditis
The guidelines provide recommendations for the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infective endocarditis (IE). They propose limiting antibiotic prophylaxis to high-risk patients undergoing high-risk dental procedures. Non-specific prevention measures like oral hygiene should be applied to all patients. For diagnosis, echocardiography and blood cultures are indicated. A multidisciplinary endocarditis team approach is recommended for managing complicated IE cases. Treatment involves prolonged antibiotic therapy and early consideration of surgery for high-risk patients.

crbsi 1.pptx
This document provides guidelines for managing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), including diagnostic criteria and treatment recommendations. CRBSI is diagnosed based on paired blood cultures showing the same organism growing faster from the catheter. Empiric treatment depends on risk level, but usually involves teicoplanin plus an additional antibiotic. Catheter removal is typically needed if infection persists after 72 hours of antibiotics or the organism is difficult to treat. Antibiotic lock therapy may be used along with systemic antibiotics to salvage infected catheters, using high concentration vancomycin, teicoplanin or gentamicin locks left in place for 24-48 hours. A 2 week course of locks is usually sufficient if given with systemic
HAP
This patient is a 77-year-old woman admitted to the ICU with a stroke who has now developed hospital-acquired pneumonia. She has risk factors including COPD, recent intubation, and NG tube feeding. Laboratory results show increased white blood cell count and creatinine. Initial empiric antimicrobial therapy should cover typical and atypical pathogens, including Pseudomonas if risk factors are present. Therapy should be de-escalated once culture results are available. Generally, 7-8 days of antimicrobial therapy is sufficient for hospital-acquired pneumonia.

Overall, treatment planning requires weighing multiple factors related to the patient's medical and dental situation to determine the best approach.
Antibiotic Dosing in critical care Catherine mc kenzie
- Antibiotics should be administered within the first hour of recognizing severe sepsis or septic shock. Broad-spectrum antibiotics with good penetration of the suspected infection site should be used.
- The antibiotic regimen should be reassessed daily to optimize efficacy, prevent resistance, avoid toxicity, and minimize costs. Extended or continuous infusions of beta-lactam antibiotics may improve outcomes for critically ill patients, especially those with infection from less susceptible organisms.
- Proper dosing of antibiotics in critical care requires considering each patient's individual situation and balancing optimal treatment with minimizing harm from adverse events like toxicity.
Case presentation Urosepsis
This case describes a 48-year-old woman presenting with suspected urosepsis. She reported several days of back pain and 2 days of UTI symptoms including rigors. Initial investigations showed elevated inflammatory markers. She was treated with IV gentamicin and oral trimethoprim but discharged with ongoing rigors. She was later readmitted with persistent rigors and vomiting, and urine and blood cultures grew E. coli. The presence of true rigors indicates a more serious infection requiring inpatient treatment and investigation until the patient has stabilized, rather than early discharge. Initial management could be improved by performing a renal ultrasound and ensuring clear documentation and follow-up plans.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

infective endocarditis rhemautic heart fever
- 1. Management of infective endocarditis Guided by: Presented by: Dr Priya Bhalki Megharaj M P Dept of General Medicine
- 2. It includes: • Medical treatment • Surgical treatment
- 3. Medical treatment: • Blood should be collected for cultures before starting the empirical antibiotic therapy. However, this should not delay therapy in unstable patients. • If source of infection is identified, it should be removed as soon as possible (e.g. tooth with an apical abscess should be extracted).
- 4. • Empirical treatment regimen: Penicillins are fundamental to the therapy of bacterial endocarditis. Empirical treatment regimen depends on the suspected organism, and whether the patient has a prosthetic valve or penicillin allergy. • Prognosis: It is fatal in about 20% patients and higher in those with prosthetic valve endocarditis and those infected with antibiotic resistant organisms.
- 5. Antimicrobial treatment of common causative organisms in infective endocarditis.
- 7. • _ For HACEK Organisms: • Ceftriaxone(2g/day IV single dose for 4weeks) • Ampicillin/salbactum (3g IV q6h for 4 weeks)
- 8. Surgical treatment. • Decisions to carry out surgical intervention in patients with infective endocarditis should take into account the, • 1. patient specific features such as age, non-cardiac morbidities, presence of prosthetic material or cardiac failure. • 2. Infective endocarditis features such as causative organism, size of vegetation, presence of perivalvular infection, systemic embolization.
- 9. Indications for surgical treatment in infective endocarditis. • Endocarditis of prosthetic valve • Large vegetations : • – Left-sided large vegetation (10 mm) with an episode of embolization • – Very large (15 mm) and mobile vegetation (high-risk of embolism) • Progressive cardiac failure due to valvular damage
- 10. • Active infection persisting, i.e. fever and evidence of bacteremia for more than 7–10 days in spite of adequate antibiotic treatment • Abscess formation,Staph. aureus and fungal endocarditis. • Cardiac surgery consists of debridement of infected material and valve replacement. Antimicrobial therapy should be started before surgery.
