1 Women s Antimicrobial Guidelines Summary 1. Introduction and Who Guideline applies to This guideline has been developed to deliver safe and appropriate empirical use of antibiotics for patients at University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust. The guideline applies to adult inpatient and discharge prescriptions and should be used in conjunction with the Antimicrobial Prescribing Policy; it can also serve as a guide to prescribing in the outpatient setting. The recommendations within this guideline provide targeted empirical regimens covering likely pathogenic organisms for defined infections and aim to promote the evidence based use of antibiotics, minimise the effect of antibiotics on the patient's normal bacterial flora and adverse effects. General rules: - Take appropriate specimens for microscopy, culture and sensitivity testing prior to starting antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic should be reviewed with the culture and antimicrobial sensitivity results - Intravenous (IV) therapy should be reserved for those patients who are seriously ill with moderate to severe infections or are unable to take medications enterally. - Review IV treatment within 2 days with a view to switching to oral therapy as soon as clinically appropriate. The antibiotic doses recommended in this guidance are intended for adult patients with normal renal and liver function. Refer a Pharmacist for further advice in these patients, advice for dose recommendations in renal impairment can be found on the Antimicrobial Website.

Post-op infection Gonococcal Infection Wound infection Suspected intraabdominal source (no peritoneal soiling) Suspected intra - abdominal source with peritoneal soiling UTI Sepsis All patients with suspected sepsis or EWS of 3 or more should be assessed using the Adult Sepsis Screening and Immediate Action Tool Sepsis unknown origin where Red Flag Sepsis NOT identified - see Antimicrobial Website Labial/bartholin abscesses Patient name, hospital number/nhs number, DOB and telephone number will be needed in order for GUM to contact the patient. Do not treat. Treatment will be provided at the GUM clinic. Refer to GUM clinic via (dailyresults.stpeters@nhs.net) with the patient details above for treatment, follow up, contact tracing and blood borne virus testing Flucloxacillin PO 500mg QDS If penicillin allergy: Doxycycline 200mg OD Co-amoxiclav PO 625mg TDS If NBM: Co-amoxiclav TDS until enteral route available Add in IV 7mg/kg* OD (contact pharmacist prior to prescribing, max 640mg) for severe infections If penicillin allergy: PO 400mg TDS + Ciprofloxacin PO 500mg BD If NBM: TDS + IV Ciprofloxacin 400mg BD converting to enteral route when available Co-amoxiclav TDS +/- IV 7mg/kg* OD (contact pharmacist prior to prescribing, max 640mg) for severe infections Switch to Co-amoxiclav PO 625mg TDS when enteral route available If penicillin allergy: TDS + IV Ciprofloxacin 400mg BD converting to enteral route when available ( PO 400mg TDS + Ciprofloxacin PO 500mg BD) Refer to full Trust UTI guideline on Antimicrobial Website If Red Flag Sepsis identified: give a STAT dose of Meropenem IV 1g from Sepsis Box. Do not continue meropenem beyond doses available in Sepsis Box without microbiology advice and verification code. If Red Flag Sepsis NOT identified and patient is well or improving: prescribe antibiotics as per guideline for identified source of infection. Co-amoxiclav TDS If penicillin allergy: PO 400mg TDS and Ciprofloxacin PO 500mg BD. If NBM: TDS + IV Ciprofloxacin 400mg BD converting to enteral route when available. Incision and drainage should be considered. Uncomplicated abscesses that have been drained may not require antibiotics.

Hepatitis B risk factors are assessed and HIV screening is offered. A risk assessment for other STIs should be done and the patient screened if deemed appropriate. Any positive STI screens should be referred to GUM for follow up and partner notification. Prophylaxis is only needed for surgical abortions (given 2 hours before procedure): 1) If result of STI screen is unavailable/c. trachomatis positive: PO Azithromycin 1g + PR metronidazole 1g* 2) If negative for C. trachomatis: PR metronidazole 1g* only *Oral metronidazole 800mg can be used instead of the PR route.
