Scenario 1 PH is a 76 year old female who came in through the ED for left lower extremity cellulitis and abscess. The abscess was successfully drained and a line was inserted under IR guidance. The patient completed 3 days of vancomycin, before IV access was lost. The team asks you what the patient can be treated with, if they cannot insert another line. What do you recommend? A. Vancomycin B. Dalbavancin C. Tedizolid D. Oritavancin Scenario 2 GR is a 34 year old male with a history of IV drug abuse. He last used 4 days ago and now presents with a right arm cellulitis. GR has frequent episodes of cellulitis and he admits that he never finishes the course of antibiotics prescribed for him. He is also threatening to leave AMA this afternoon. The team asks for treatment recommendations in this patient. What do you recommend? A. Vancomycin B. Dalbavancin C. Tedizolid D. Oritavancin 7

8 Scenario 3 JB is a 47 year old female with diabetes who presents with a wound infection on her left foot. It does not probe to bone. She is slightly hypotensive, so the team admits her to the floor to monitor. They would like to start one of the new antibiotics on her and ask for your recommendation. In speaking to the patient, you uncover that she has an allergy to vancomycin hives. What do you recommend? A. Vancomycin B. Dalbavancin C. Tedizolid D. Oritavancin Scenario 4 OS is a 66 year old male seen in an outpatient clinic for a purulent cellulitis. He receives a dose of oritavancin 1200 mg and is discharged home. Three days later he presents to the ED, complaining of fevers, chills, and feeling lethargic. His cellulitis site looks improved. Laboratory values show a WBC of 14.6 cells/mm 3 and blood cultures are growing GPC in pairs and clusters. The ED pages you asking for drug recommendations. How do you respond? A. The patient already has oritavancin on board, it should cover his current bacteremia. B. Administer another dose of oritavancin to cover the bacteremia. C. Start the patient on vancomycin. D. Start the patient on linezolid, a non-glycopeptide antibiotic. References Choose Your Own Antibiotic/Adventure Gram-Positive Style Monica V.
