    Study design: What to payattention to

    Pharmacodynamic/pharmacokinetic properties

    Bacterial elimination studies (requires a culture

    during or at end of therapy). Clinical studies can be (and commonly are)

    manipulated to suggest bacteriologic efficacy whenit may not be there.

    There is no rational reason to use low/regular

    doses of amoxicillin (or amox-clavulanate):Pediatrics 80-100 mg/kg, Adults 3-4 g/daily,divided BID

    Higher doses (of either) will markedly reduce H.influenzaefailures) (15-25%) and some S.pneumoniaefailures (~5%). Hemophilusfailuresare related to the less than optimal intrinsic activity

    of amoxicillin against beta-lactamase negative H.influenzae.

    Hemophilus influenzaeis the most common failure

    cause for amoxicillin-clavulanate.

    There is no defensible role for cefprozil, loracarbef, and

    cefaclor in ear and sinus infection.

    NO oral cephalosporin has clinical activity against penicillinresistant S. pneumoniae.

    Cefpodoxime (Vantin) is the most active of the oralcephalosporins, especially for amoxicillin or amox-clavulanate failures.

    Cefdinir (Omnicef) is the best choice for 1st line therapy ofchildren, but is likely less effective than high-doseamoxicillin.

    Ceftriaxone (Rocephin), given at usual IV/doses for 3-7days, is highly effective for the usual pathogens, includingmost ceftriaxone and penicillin resistantS. pneumoniae.

    Telithromycin (Ketek)

    Technically, a ketolide, derived from clarithromycin

    Has an additional binding ribosomal binding site onthe molecule, so it appears to be active against

    most of the macrolide-resistant pneumococci.

    Similar to the macrolides, the MICs to Hemophilusare high enough that the efficacy is poor to fair.

    Some concerns about drug-drug interactions.

    If all of the above are true, it is somewhat lesseffective than amoxicillin.

  • 7/27/2019 Antibioterapie Model Poole

    27/60

    Macrolides and Ketolides have activity against H.influenzaethat is equal to or near that of placebo(ear and sinus disease) Macrolide resistant S.pneumoniaeare common.

    They are significantly less effective than high doseamoxicillin for previously untreated patients;markedly less effective than quinolones and amox-

    clavulanate for second line therapy. Telithromycin (Ketek) has somewhat better activity

    than macrolides against S. pneumoniae.

    Levofloxacin (Levaquin), gatifloxacin (Tequin), and

    moxifloxacin (Avelox) are very active agents forrespiratory tract infections.

    They are roughly equal (within 1-2%) in clinical

    efficacy. There are some differences in adverse effects and

    safety profiles.

    Safety and resistance issues make them, ingeneral, appropriate for second line therapy.

    We will see more short course trials of sinusitiswith good microbiologic outcome.

    AOM is currently the best bacterial respiratory

    infection to study.

    Conjugated pneumococcal vaccines have changedAOM somewhat.

    Only a few drugs are very efficacious for AOM:high dose Amox-clav, ceftriaxone

    H. influenzaeis now our most important AOM

    pathogenespecially for ENT patients.Most antibiotic failures are not failures.

    We have been mis-informed about antibiotic

    effectiveness in AOM.

    Pediatric Chronic Sinusitis

    2.5 year old boy with an 18 month history ofchronic sinusitis. Major symptoms includecongestion, rhinorrhea, poor sleeping, relapsingcough. No history of systemic or lower respiratoryinfections. 4-5 bouts of AOM, resolving onantibiotics.

    On antibiotics almost monthly. Has had culturesthat grew DRSP and H. influenzae at various times.

    Tested neg. for CF. Attends a small (7-10 kids)daycare.

    Family sought allergy referral: Had skin testing:negative. Had PneumoVax and antibody responsetest that showed varying levels to differentserotypes.

    Has had two prior CTs, one last month. Oneshowed pan-sinusitis (taken while sick), othershowed scattered ethmoid and maxillary mucosal

    thickening. Exam: Normal general exam. TMs retracted

    without fluid. Nose: moderate mocupurulentsecretions. No polyps. Oropharynx normal.

    2004For Problematic Pediatric Sinusitis or AOM

    Augmentin ES600 (90 mg/kg/d, BID)

    For Augmentin failures. Cefpodoxime (Vantin).Then culture.

    Clindamycin + ceftibuten (Cedax) or TMP-SMX orcefixime (Suprax)

    High dose Amoxicillin + ceftibuten (Cedax) or TMP-SMX

    Ceftriaxone + .(observation, high dose amoxicillin,more ceftriaxone)

    For allergic/intolerant : macrolides (mild cases).Consider rifampin (20 mg/kg/d) plus clindamycin orTMP-SMX for severe AOM.

    The Psycho-neuroses ofChronic Pediatric Sinusitis

    The child is usually no different than many otherchildren who have same clinical/radiographicfindings without the level of anxiety.

    The family has generally been misinformed andmisled about a number of issues.

    Re-education is time consuming.

    Areas of Dis informaton

    He/she has the same infection back again.

    Wrong. Symptoms and presentation may be the same

    The sinuses are blocked up.

    A simplistic pro-surgical explanation that is generally

    wrong.Nothing works for him/her.

    Wrong

    The CT abnormalities prove how serious it is.Wrong

    It is all due to his/her allergies.

    Managing the child (and family) withchronic sinusitis

    Manage each episode individually (Do not use thesame shotgun poly-pharmacy for every episode.)

    Prospectively, the number of infections in going tobe exaggerated over historical counts.

    Have someone in the office with the time andpatience to talk the family down when the childbecomes ill not over-reacting.

    Dont lower your antibiotic prescribing thresholdbecause of the past history.

    Obtain cultures when therapy may not be working...

    Patience

    Rising Incidence of CA-MRSA(Community Acquired Methicillin Resistant

    Staph aureus)

    Rapid increase in community acquired strains MOREVirulent. More transmissable.

    Can be resistant to macrolides, clindamycin, quinolones,

    sulfasalmost everything but vanco and rifampinWarningIf the strain tests resistant to erythromycin

    (even if tested Suscept to clinda), resistance to clindamay be inducibleemerges during therapy

    Most can be treated with drainage,TMP-SMX + rifampin,

    Many are susceptible to clindamycin.

    All are susceptible to Vancomycin

    Although the risk is small, aminoglycosides should

    not be used with non-intact TMs or used withappropriate consent.

    From a microbiologic standpoint, there is no

    significant clinical difference between ciprofloxacinand ofloxacin.

    The presence of a potent steroid (dexamethasone)appears to have significant positive impact of

    treatment of infections. Effect in surgery patientsis unknown.

    A neutral pH drop (ofloxacin otic) may predispose

    to yeast overgrowth.

    Sudden Cardiac Death and Erythromycin

    Sudden Cardiac Death and Erythromycin Looked at a cohort of Tennessee Medicaid patients:

    1.2 million patient years, and 1476 cases of sudden

    cardiac death

    Patients on erythromycin had a 2 x rate of death.

    Patients on erthromycin PLUS an strong inhibitor of

    cytochrome P-450 had a 5.35 increase in rate. Nitro-imidazole antifungal agents, diltiazem, verapamil,

    and troleandomycin

    Presumptive mechanism of increased risk inprolongation of Q-T interval and subsequentarrythmias.

    No increase with amoxicillin or prior erythromycin

    Probable Implications

    Large drug usage database analysis, whencombined with outcome data is a very potent new

    tool.

    This is probably the tip of the iceberg concerningcombinations of drugs that alter Q-T interval or arecompetitively metabolized.

    With regard to antimicrobials, will likely increaseconcerns about erythromycin, clarithromycin, ?telithromycin, and the flouroquinolones (esp.moxifloxacin)
