He is also a consultant and receives speaking/teaching honaria f Purdue, and is a consultant f Boehringer Ingelheim and Succampo. Off-Label/Investigational Discussion In accdance with pmicme policy, faculty have been asked to disclose discussion of unlabeled unapproved use(s) of drugs devices during the course of their presentations. Topics Learning Objectives Sinusitis Genital herpes Testing f latent tuberculosis infection HIV and hypercholesterolemia MRSA decontamination Apply current clinical guidelines to the diagnosis and treatment of acute bacterial sinusitis Differentiate the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection from that of active tuberculosis Apply current evidence and guidelines to the clinical management of genital herpes Background Bacterial Sinusitis The excessive use of antibiotics in ambulaty practice has contributed to the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Proper selection of who and when to treat is imptant. Issues to balance: Patient discomft Patient expectations 1

2 Case 1 45-year-old man comes to the office with four days of nasal discharge and cough, requesting antibiotics f sinusitis. What criteria help you distinguish viral from bacterial sinus infections? Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis (ABRS): Diagnosis Based on Clinical Criteria Presence of one of the following : Persistent symptoms signs compatible with acute rhinosinusitis lasting f >10 days without any evidence of clinical improvement Onset with severe symptoms signs of high fever (>102 F) and purulent nasal discharge facial pain lasting f at least 3 4 consecutive days at the beginning of illness Onset with wsening symptoms signs characterized by new onset of fever, headache, increase in nasal discharge following a typical viral URI that lasted 5 6 days and were initially improving (ie, double-sickening ) URI = upper respiraty infection Chow AW, et al. IDSA Clinical Practice Guideline f Acute Bacterial Rhinosinusitis in Children and Adults. Clin Inf Dis. 2012;54(8):e ABRS Diagnosis - Conclusions Clinical diagnosis is best Little benefit of any imaging study in the diagnosis of acute sinusitis Reserve imaging studies f unusual severity recurrent chronic illness When imaging, CT Scan is the study of choice Is Imaging Helpful in Diagnosis of Sinusitis?

4 Case 2 Epidemiology of HSV in the U.S. 39-year-old woman comes to the office after learning that her now previous sexual partner has herpes. She has had no symptoms. She wants to know if she can be tested. Should she be tested f herpes, and if so what test should be done? What is the benefit of testing? If she tests positive f herpes, since she is asymptomatic, do you recommend treatment? Two HSV serotypes HSV-1 and HSV-2 HSV-2 causes majity of cases of recurrent genital herpes in the U.S. Approximately 750,000 1,000,000 new cases each year CDC Sexually Transmitted Diseases Surveillance, Figure Accessed May HSV Transmission Majity of genital herpes infections are transmitted by persons who are unaware they are infected with HSV-2, asymptomatic when transmission occurs Likelihood of transmission declines with increased duration of infection Incubation period after acquisition is 2-12 days (average is 4 days) Efficiency of sexual transmission is greater from men to women than from women to men HSV Pathology The virus remains latent indefinitely Reactivation is precipitated by multiple known and unknown facts and induces viral replication The re-activated virus may cause cutaneous outbreak of herpetic lesions subclinical viral shedding CDC.
