Pertussis
PIHE 2012

Pertussis: Preventable but Persistent


There is a relative lack of awareness among health-care providers that pertussis immunity from natural infection or childhood vaccination wanes 5-8 years after the last booster dose. This leaves adolescents and adults vulnerable to pertussis infection, and those infected can transmit risk of life-threatening disease to young infants.1
Reference: 1. Healy CM, et al. Vaccine. 2009;27(41):5599-5602. 136

Pertussis: Highly Communicable, Frequently Overlooked


Acute respiratory tract infection caused by Bordetella pertussis (gram-negative aerobic bacillus)1 Highly communicable (90%-100% secondary attack rate among susceptibles)2,3 Morbidity in all ages, especially infants1,2 The cause of 13%-17% of cases of prolonged cough in adolescents and adults4 Adolescents, adults with unrecognized or untreated pertussis contribute to the reservoir of B pertussis in the community and pose a risk of transmission to others1

Reported Cases of Pertussis Are Highest in Adolescents and Adults


~10,000-25,000 cases of pertussis are reported in the US every year1 ~60% of reported cases occur among adolescents and adults2 Reported cases are the tip of the iceberg Estimated actual cases among adolescents and adults: 800,000-3.3 million per year3

ACIP Recommendations
ACIP voted to recommend that pregnant women who have never received the Tdap vaccine should be immunized during their second trimester (after 20 weeks gestation) or during their third trimester rather than in the immediate postpartum period If not done at that time, mothers who have not already
received Tdap, it is recommended as soon as feasible in the immediate postpartum period1 Vaccination should occur before discharge from the hospital or birthing center

4 basic mechanisms causing diarrhea
Retention of water within the intestine
Malabsorptive syndrome; lactose intolerance Maalox can produce diarrhea through this mechanism

Acute Diarrhea
Cause: most likely to be an infectious agent
Most will resolve on own If diarrhea persists for 72 hours or more, is associated with gross blood in stool, evaluation is essential

Excessive secretion of water and electrolytes into the intestinal lumen


Cholera; E. Coli, Crohns disease, laxatives

Release of protein and fluid into the intestinal mucosa


Ulcerative colitis, Crohns disease, Infections

Altered intestinal motility resulting in rapid transport through the colon


IBS, Scleroderma

CA- MRSA

CA - MRSA

First identified in the 1940s; first US case 1968


CA-MRSA is distinctly different than the MRSA identified in hospitals Most CA-MRSA are known as USA300 or USA400 whereas hospital infections are USA100, USA500

Wright, 2012

Since 1990, the burden on society has increased substantially Most infections are located in the soft tissue and present as carbuncles, furuncles or Wright, 2012 abscesses

CA-MRSA
First domestic cluster of cases identified in 1982 in Detroit, Michigan

CA-MRSA
Males are affected more often than females Affects the very young and old disproportionately Blacks are also affected at greater rates than whites Recurrent antimicrobial usage may be a risk factor Exposure to farm animals and even household petsWright, 2012

CA-MRSA
Current estimates:
25 30% of people carry colonies of staphylococci in their noses < 2% are colonized with MRSA

Wright, 2012

CA-MRSA
Most CA-MRSA infections are not usually severe or associated with deaths although the CA strains are believed to be more virulent than the hospital strains However, current yearly estimates are:
95K invasive infections 19K deaths

CA - MRSA
mecA gene
This is where the resistance originates with MRSA PCN cant bind at its target

A lot of cross resistance to beta lactam antibiotics: PCN and cephalosporins particularly in the USA300 strain which is the CA-MRSA strain

Statistics/Treatment in My Community
37% of staph infection at DHMC MRSA Nationally, approximately 31% are MRSA CA-MRSA antibiotic susceptibility
50% will be resistant to clindamycin

Treatment of CA-MRSA
Obtain culture Should consider local antibiograms in selection of antimicrobials Skin infections:
Consider beta-lactam (PCN or Cephalo) in an individual with mild infection and low rates of CAMRSA in your community (generally thought of as < 10 15%)
Guilbeau, J.R. and Fordham, P.N. Evidence-Based management and Treatment of Outpatient Community-Associated MRSA. The Journal for Nurse Practitioners. 2010; Vol 6(2):140-145

Bactrim has best coverage/sensitivity: 9698%


Important for clinicians to obtain own antibiogram for communities in which you service
Wright, 2012

Wright, 2012

Treatment of CA-MRSA
Skin infections:
TMP/SMX Clindamycin (Monitor closely for resistance; D-Zone test) Tetracyclines (avoid under 8 years of age) Rifampin add on to other agents Linezolid Avoid fluoroquinolones (increasing resistance)
Guilbeau, J.R. and Fordham, P.N. Evidence-Based management and Treatment of Outpatient Community-Associated MRSA. The Journal for Nurse Practitioners. 2010; Vol 6(2):140-145

Treatment and Eradication Strategies: Recurrent infections


GOOD handwashing Treatment with Bactrim,clinda, TCN, Linezolid
Consider addition of rifampin

Bathe with disinfectants


Hibiclens, phisodex, clorox bleach

Utilize topical disinfectants


Purell Mupirocin seeing resistance
Wright, 2012

Wright, 2012

Carriage of CA-MRSA
Treatment recommended for individuals with recurrent infection
Consider ID consult before treatment Mupirocin 2% each nostril two times daily x 5 days along with daily cholorhexidine 4% bath. Alternative
Doxycycline 100 mg bid or TMP/SMX DS + rifampin 300 mg every 12 hours x 5 days
Guilbeau, J.R. and Fordham, P.N. Evidence-Based management and Treatment of Outpatient Community-Associated MRSA. The Journal for Nurse Practitioners. 2010; Vol 6(2):140-145

Another Option
Mupirocin nasal ointment plus bleach baths (one tablespoon of bleach in 1 quart of water)
Able to decolonize the skin

Some strains of MRSA (USA300 MRSA clones) are resistant to mupirocin
