1 Disclosure 49th Annual Meeting An update on the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections I do not have a vested interest in or affiliation with any corporate organization offering financial support or grant monies for this continuing education activity, or any affiliation with an organization whose philosophy could potentially bias my presentation Kathryn DeSear, PharmD, BCPS, AAHIVP OWNING CHANGE: Taking Charge of Your Profession Objectives Patient Case Describe common infections of the skin and soft tissues and recognize the clinical manifestations Provide differential diagnoses of infections involving the skin and soft tissues Compare and contrast the microbial etiologies in patients with various risk factors and presentations Discuss general principles of antimicrobial therapy in the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections Patient Case Patient Case 70F with pain in right lower leg since last night Worse with standing, walking, touch Swelling also noted Some discomfort in her LLE, but much less painful Had taken systemic steroids (unknown dose) for pain/inflammation PMH: CAD, MI, HTN, RA, Bilateral Osteoporosis Admitting Note Piperacillin/tazobactam + Vancomycin x 4 days in Hospital Discharged on Day 4 with Augmentin 1
