The Infectious Disease Smorgasbord: Hot ID Topics for Health Units
The Infectious Diseases Smorgasbord
Hot ID topics for Health Units: - Influenza
- Chikungunya
- Ebolavirus Disease
- Malaria update
- HIV PEP and PrEP
- Meningococcal vaccines and new recs
- PCR in the Health Unit: Biofire/FilmArray
Influenza 2015 Well publicized poor match between the Northern
Hemisphere vaccine and the circulating H3N2 has been associated with a robust, early flu season
First time in 3 years that the Northern and Southern Hemisphere vaccines are different:
Northern Hemisphere 2014-15 Influenza season vaccine components • A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus • A/Texas/50/2012 (H3N2)-like virus • B/Massachusetts/2/2012-like virus • B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus (only in quadrivalent vaccines)
Southern Hemisphere 2015 Influenza season vaccine components • A/California/7/2009 (H1N1)pdm09-like virus; • A/Switzerland/9715293/2013 (H3N2)-like virus (A/South Australia/55/2014, A/Norway/466/2014, A/Stockholm/6/2014)
• B/Phuket/3073/2013-like virus. • B/Brisbane/60/2008-like virus. (only in quadrivalent vaccines)

So what do we do about flu immunizations? These are my personal opinions NOT CDC recs
If staff received the 2014-15 Northern Hemisphere flu vaccine they are protected against some of the circulating strains and if infected with the new strain are less likely to have severe disease.
If you are in the Southern Hemisphere consider offering an approved Southern Hemisphere influenza vaccine: Strongly recommended for those who did not receive a Northern
Hemisphere flu vaccine earlier Should be encouraged for those with chronic respiratory disease or
other immunocompromising conditions, including age >65 y May be offered to those who received the Northern Hemisphere flu
vaccine and want added protection but should not be required
Neuraminidase Inhibitors Underutilized in HUs?
CDC has tested 139 influenza A and B isolates for resistance this season and 100% were sensitive to both oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).
In Oct 2014 FDA approved peramavir (Rapivab) for IV Single dose of 600 mg IV
These antivirals are really only effective if initiated within 48 hours of symptom onset.
• Makonde for “that which bends up” • An alphavirus NOT related to dengue but gives a dengue like illness
with prominent joint pain, may last weeks – Neonates exposed intrapartum may develop severe or fatal dz
• African origin but now widespread in Asia and newly popping up in the Caribbean
• Incubation for 3-7 days post mosquito bite
• No treatment
• Avoid mosquito bites with topical repellants and permethrin
• Diminish breeding of mosquitoes
• Essentially identical efforts as should be used for dengue prevention
Chikungunya
Chikungunya Rarely fatal but you may feel like dying!
Tally of chikungunya cases in the Americas now exceeds a million cases. The continental US tally of locally acquired chikungunya cases is 11 - additional 2000+ travel-related cases.
Puerto Rico has 25,000 suspected autochthonous cases and the US Virgin Islands >1300.
172 attributed deaths in the Americas
The French have seen significant numbers with prolonged joint complaints - 80% at 3 m - 57% at 15 m - 5% chronic
Experimental Vaccine for Chikungunya passes first test
Chikungunya vaccine development Like Ebola, will move much faster as the US is affected
Ebolavirus Disease (EVD) DoS MED’s 2014 “Virus of the Year” is Still Performing
Cases Deaths Total: 21759 8668 Sierra Leone:10362 3153 Liberia: 8524 3136 Guinea: 2873 1879 Nigeria: 20 8 Mali: 8 6 US: 4 1 Spain: 1 1 Senegal: 1 0 UK: 1 0
Data from CDC 22 Jan 2014 http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/case-counts.html
Malaria Update Recs from the Malaria ALDAC 2013
Increase use of Personal Protective Measures: Topical Repellant Formulations approved by CDC available
from post Permethrin available for tents, clothing, etc Impregnated bednets provided by post Screened enclosures
Optimize adherence with chemoprophylaxis Preferable to have all meds available at HU without charge
or inconvenience to the patient Clarifying malaria risk at posts prior to bidding Require Acknowledgement of Malaria Risk to be signed Establishing reporting to leadership of malaria cases
Malaria Update Where we are in DoS since the Malaria ALDAC 2013

HIV PEP and PrEP Well tolerated regimens and more people on ARVs
• Tenofovir/emtricitabine (Truvada) 300/200 mg po qd ($1300/month) plus
• Raltegravir (Isentress) 400 mg po bid ($1200/month) or
• Dolutegravir (Tivicay) 50 mg po qd ($1200/month)
All three of these drugs are exceptionally well tolerated; if dolutegravir is used require once daily dosing with a total of only 2 pills.
Occupational exposures require urgent medical evaluation. Initiate occupational PEP as soon as possible, ideally within 2 hours of exposure. A first dose of PEP should be offered while evaluation is underway. Do not delay for info about the source patient or the exposed worker's
baseline HIV.

HIV Pre Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Marked reduction in HIV transmission but when should it be used?
• Use of emtricitibine/tenofovir (Truvada) one tablet daily has been approved by the FDA for prevention of HIV infection in those at high risk and is covered by most insurance plans.
• Although this is effective there are concerns regarding: – Not using condoms and increasing other STIs – Side effects uncommon but need to check renal function initially – High cost (~$1000-1200 per month), although cheaper in some countries
• Discuss with patient requesting and have them ensure that their insurance will cover this.
– This should NOT be purchased and dispensed by the HU but can be Rx thru the mail order pharmacy – Do not use emergency PEP drugs for PrEP! – If patients request this they generally perceive they have risk and PrEP should probably be Rx.

Meningococcal Quadrivalent vaccines Could it get any more confusing? YES!
MenACWY-CRM = Menveo, 2m to 55y. Oligosaccharide conjugate A,C, Y, W-135
2 m at series start: 4 doses at 2m, 4m, 6m, and 12 m 7-23 m at series start: 2 doses >3m apart; give 2nd dose at >2 y 2-10 y: 2 doses, may give 2nd dose >2m after 1st dose in pts 2-5 y if continued risk >11 y: first dose 11-12 y, then 2nd at 16 y >18-55 y: one dose repeat dose every 5 years for continued risk Preferred for immunosuppressed, asplenic, etc
MenACWY-D = Menactra >9m. Polysaccharide conjugate A,C, Y, W-135
9-23 m at series start: 2 doses 3 m apart 2-18 y: 1st dose at 11-12 y, then 2nd at 16 y; if 1st dose given at 13-15 y, give 2nd at
16-18 y >18 y: one dose, repeat dose every 5 years if needed Preferred for immunosuppressed, asplenic, etc
MPSV4 = Menomune, >2 y. Polysaccharide A,C, Y, W-135
Over age 2 and repeated every 5 years for those at continued risk Preferred for >55y who have not received MenACWY. Many travelers.
Ever more meningococcal vaccines! Six serotypes Neisseria meningitidis circulating:
A, B, C, Y, W-135 and X US polysaccharide and conjugate vaccines cover A,
C, Y and W-135 New vaccine covers B US FDA approved Oct 2014
• There are not clear US recs for use of the new mening B vaccine use except in outbreak settings – US vaccine FDA approved for use in 10-25 yo – Doses at 0, 2 and 6 months
• Some countries require mening B for school aged children

Yes, no pathogens Yes, no pathogens, +WBC
59 No 5 months No No Clostridium difficile Yes Metronidazole 10days
No Yes, Blastocystis hominis
- Patient 1 with Shigella could be dx and tx very quickly with single dose therapy and has a pretty definitive diagnosis
- Patient 2 with EnteroAggregative E.coli and Giardia is confusing. 3 weeks of sx is most c/w Giardia and treating it is indicated. What about the EAEC? This is a common cause of peds diarrhea but it is also commonly seen without diarrhea in developing world kids. In this case I would probably NOT treat for EAEC.
- Patient 3 has chronic loose stools, 1-3x/ day and abdominal cramping. His film array comes up with C. diff but clinically his illness is not c/w C. diff and is more likely IBS or another noninfectious etiology. NOT treating him may have been a more appropriate answer and sending him for colonoscopy to make sure this isn’t neoplasia, inflammatory bowel disease, etc may be indicated.

32 yes yes no yes 1 day Influenza A yes oseltamivir x5d No Yes, positive 58 yes yes yes no 2 days Rhinovirus No - Yes,
Pneumococcus No
Patient 1: sick for 18d and PCR with rhinovirus only, was not given antibiotics.
Patient 2: patient 1’s brother, sick 4d, + pertussis on PCR as well as rhinovirus, gets tx for pertussis. This explains the prolonged sx in Pt 1 who has pertussis but no longer is PCR +, rhinovirus rarely causes sx this long. Pt 1 sx were attributed to a viral infection while a pertussis outbreak was ongoing.
Patient 3: diagnosed correctly with RSV early on, saved her from being empirically treated with antibx that would not have helped her and may give side-effects
Patient 4: diagnosed with Influenza A but a rapid Flu test <¼ the cost also made the dx. Flu RDTs are not incredibly sensitive but are quite specific. ? need for PCR
Patient 5: smoker with a febrile respiratory dz. PCR+ Rhinovirus so no antibx, 2 days later septic with RML pneumonia and Pneumococcus in blood cx. FilmArray does not test for Pneumococcus. Without the PCR results he may have been appropriately started on empiric antibx.
Yikes! 6 pathogens in one stool!
