Management of Nonresponse to Hepatitis B Vaccine Complete a second series of three doses Should be given on the usual schedule of 0, 1 and 6 months Retest 1-2 months after completing the second series No further dosing if no response but check HbsAg If exposed to HBV treat as nonresponder with prophylaxis Twinrix Combination hepatitis B (adult dose) and hepatitis A vaccine (pediatric dose) 3-dose series at 0, 1, 6-12 months Approved for persons over 18 years of age Can be used interchangeably with monovalent hepatitis B and hepatitis A vaccine Recommendations for the Routine Use of Hepatitis A Vaccine Travelers to endemic areas Men who have sex with men Illegal drug users Persons with certain occupational risks (lab) Persons with chronic liver disease including HCV and clotting factor disorders All children at 1 year Twinrix Accelerated Schedule Doses at 0, 7, 21-30 days and booster dose at 12 months Approved only for persons over 18 years old The first THREE doses of the newly- licensed Twinrix schedule provide equivalent protection to The first dose in the standard, single antigen adult hepatitis A vaccine series The first two doses in the standard adult hepatitis B vaccine series 9

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Nonenveloped double-stranded DNA virus >100 HPV types identified 60 types cause cutaneous lesions 30 40 infect anogenital mucosa 15 20 oncogenic (high risk) types include 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52 HPV 16 (54%) and 18 (13%) cervical CA Nononcogenic (low risk) types include 6, 11, 40, 42, 43, 44, 54 HPV 6 and 11 most often ass d with external anogenital warts. High Risk HPV Infection Is A Necessary Cause of Cervical Cancer Infection with oncogenic HPV type is the most important risk factor in cervical cancer etiology. Analysis of 922 cervical cancer specimens from women in 22 countries showed a prevalence of HPV DNA of 99.7%. Most common HPV types found in cervical cancer were 16, 18, 31, 33 and 45. Two thirds of cervical cancer had types 16 and 18. 1. Walboomers JM, Jacobs MV, Manos MM, et al. J Pathol. 1999;189:12 19. 2. Clifford GM, Smith JS, Plummer M, Muñoz N, Franceschi S.

HPV/Cervical Cancer Vaccine Quadrivalent HPV 6/11/16/18 L1 virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine VLPs are produced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The L1 proteins self-assemble into VLPs. Purified VLPs are adsorbed on aluminum-containing adjuvant. The adjuvant is amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate (225 μg per dose). Each 0.5-mL dose contains HPV Types 6/11/16/18 (20/40/40/20 μg L1 protein, respectively).

Vaccination with HPV vaccine does not protect against diseases from non-vaccine HPV types. Does not substitute for routine cervical cancer screening. Is not intended to be used for treatment of active genital warts; cervical cancer; CIN, VIN, or VaIN.

Pathophysiology of PHN atrophy Recommended Oral Antiviral Therapy for Herpes Zoster in Immunocompetent Adults Acyclovir 800 mg every 4 hrs (5 times/d) for 7-10 days cost $35 Famciclovir (Famvir) 500 mg every 8 hrs (3 times/d) 7 days cost $180 fibrosis Valcyclovir (Valtrex) 1000 mg every 8 hrs (3 times/d) 7 days cost $180 If started within 72 hrs of onset, treatment speeds healing by three days. Reduces some complications but post-herpetic neuralgia not consistently helped. Duration of Zoster-Associated Pain According to Age ZOSTAVAX Indications and Usage [Zoster Vaccine Live (Oka/Merck)] ZOSTAVAX is a lyophilized is the Oka/Merck strain of the live attentuated VZV. Each dose has about 19,400 viruses Varivax (chickenpox vaccine) has about 1300. Based on large study (38,546 subjects) of shingles prevention in VA system ZOSTAVAX is indicated for the prevention of herpes zoster (shingles) in individuals 60 years of age and older. The benefit of ZOSTAVAX in the prevention of postherpetic neuralgia can be primarily attributed to the effect of the vaccine on the prevention of zoster. PHN also worse when more severe rash, sensory abnormalities and pain acutely 14
