Cards

Term
SE of IFN treatment
Definition
Neutropenia
Term
SE of aminoglycosides (3)?

Hint:
- one is increased w/ cephalosporins
- one is increased w/ loop diuretics
- one has to do with pregnancy
Definition
nephrotoxicity
ototoxicity
teratogen (group D)
Term
Does Acyclovir or Gancyclovir have the cytopenias?
Definition
gancyclovir (leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia)

also has renal toxicity
Term
INH 1/2 life affected by?
Definition
fast/slow acetylators. this is to be expected since it causes lupus
Term
SE of TMP. How are they prevented?
Definition
cytopenias. May be prevented by folinic acid supplementation (leucovorin rescue)
Term
3 viruses that you can use acyclovir with?
Definition
HSV, VZV, EBV
Term
AIDS pt has CMV retinitis & Gancyclovir fails to clear it up. What do you use?
Definition
Foscarnet (viral DNA polymerase inhibitor that doesn't need to be activated by kinases)
Term
Tx for African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness)
Definition
Suramin (inhibits energy metabolism)
Term
where does foscarnet bind?
Definition
pyrophosphate binding group on DNA pol (pyroFOSphate)
Term
nevirapine, delavirdine
Definition
NNRTI's
Term
2 Protein synthesis inhibitors that get inactivated by the addition of something to them?
Definition
1) Aminoglycosides: group transferase puts an acetyl, adenyl, or phophoryl group on the drug and inactivates it

2) chloramphenicol: acetyltransferases
Term
tetracyclin resistance
Definition
decreased uptake or increased efflux (plasmid-encoded pumps)
Term
inhibits bacterial peptidyl transfer
Definition
chloramphenicol (50S)

other 50S binders inhibit formation of the ribosome (linezolid) or translocation of the tRNA (macrolides, clindamycin, lincomycin)
Term
Protease inhibitor w/ crystalluria & thrombocytopenia
Definition
indinavir (remember that all of them cause hyperglycemia & fat redistribution)
Term
3 SE of NRTIs?

Hint:
- One has to do with its action in the virus.
- One has to do with sensation
- One has to do with metabolic abnormalities
Definition
cytopenias (neutropenia, anemia); may cause megaloblastic anemia

Perpheral neuropathy

Lactic acidosis
Term
eosinophilia, cholestatic hepatitis, prolonged QT, P450 inhibition
Definition
macrolides
Term
Fanconi's syndrome w/ expired meds. Photosensitivity. Tooth discoloration. Bone/tendon problems & tooth discoloration in kids
Definition
Tetracyclines
Term
Both Vanco & aminoglycosides have "N.O.T." side effects. The N & O are the same, but the T is different. Give them
Definition
N = nephrotoxicity
O = ototoxicity
T = teratogen/thrombophlebitis for aminoglycosides/vanco respectively

NOTE: nephro/oto tox are increased by cephalosporins/loop diuretics with aminoglycosides
Term
2 major structral differences between penicillins & cephalosporins
Definition
cephalosporins have a 6 member ring attached to beta-lactam (instead of a 5-member ring) & they have an extra functional group
Term
seizure risk w/ this penicillin-like drug
Definition
imipenem/cilastatin (imipenem causes the seizures)
Term
Why are aminoglycosides useless against anaerobes?
Definition
they require O2 for uptake
Term
Use of each:
1) -bendazoles
2) Diethycarbamazine
3) Praziquantel
4) Ivermectin
Definition
1) Nematode intestinal infections (pinworm, hookworm, strongyloides, ascaris)

2) Tissue nematodes (loaloa, W.bancrofti, larva migrans) except O.volvulus

3) Cestodes (tapeworms) & flukes (schistosoma, clonarchis, P.westermani)

4) Oncocerca volvulus (rIVER blindmess, blackfly)
Term
Griseofulvin is an inducer or inhibitor of p450?
Definition
inducer (e.g. increases warfarin metabolism)
Term
What type of anemia w/ ribavirin?
Definition
hemolytic (also severe teratogen)
Term
penicillin w/ interstitial nephritis?

hint, it is beta-lactamase resistant
Definition
methicillin
Term
PSI used esp for anaerobic infections (e.g. bacteroides, clostridium) in aspirational pneumonia or lung abscess
Definition
clindamycin

remember the SE of this drug is C.diff colitis (prol b.c. it is so good at knocking off the anaerobes!)
Term
BMT therapy
Definition
bismuth
metronidazole
tetracycline (or amoxicillin)
Term
Tx for chagas (american trypanosomiasis
Definition
nifurtimox
Term
INH toxicity (HINT: INH: Injures...)

also something to do with its acetylation
Definition
INH: injures neurons & hepatocytes (neuro & nephrotoxicity); B6 can prevent neurotoxicity

also SLE
Term
ribavirin MOA
Definition
blocks IMP dehydrogenase --> inhibits synthesis of guanine nucleotides
Term
Aztreonam is only effective for what type of bacteria?
Definition
G(-) rods

no effect on G(+) or anaerobes

remember this is the PBP3 drug
Term
2 instances rifampin is used alone?
Definition
1) meningococcal carrier state

2) prophylaxis in contacts of kids w/ H.flu
