3 1488 adults with 24 hours of IV or oral antibiotic exposure at Johns Hopkins Hospital 298 (20%) 1 antibiotic-associated adverse event 42% gastrointestinal 24% renal 15% hematologic 287 (19%) antibiotic regimens not clinically indicated 20% associated with adverse event Tamma P. JAMA Intern Med 2017; 177:1308 Question 1 65yo man presents with severe right thigh pain since striking his thigh on a countertop yesterday. He has a history of pulmonary embolus for which he takes warfarin. One week ago he was hospitalized for a left arm abscess. After drainage and IV antibiotics, he was discharged with a 10-day course of an unknown antibiotic. There is a large area of induration and ecchymosis over the thigh. Ultrasound shows a large hematoma. His INR is 8.6. He denies any change in his warfarin dose or dietary changes. Which antibiotic had he most likely been prescribed? A. Clindamycin B. Doxycycline C. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole D. Cephalexin

6 Question 2 56yo obese woman admitted with 2 days of progressive bilateral lower extremity redness, swelling, and pain. She has been fatigued but denies fever, chills, feeling ill, SOB, or CP. She had a LLE DVT 3 months prior for which she is on rivaroxaban. On exam she has bilateral erythema from the ankles to the mid-calf (more intense on the left) with edema and tenderness to palpation. There is scaling skin over the shins and patchy hyperpigmentation. What is the most appropriate next step? A. Order a LLE ultrasound B. Obtain Dermatology consultation C. Start vancomycin D. Start cefazolin Frequent misdiagnosis of cellulitis Adapted from Weng QY. JAMA Dermatol 2017; 153:141
7 Raff AB. JAMA 2016; 316:325 Beware of pseudocellulitis Know common causes: Stasis dermatitis Contact dermatitis Insect bite reaction Gout Hematoma Deep venous thrombosis Antibiotics and skin abscesses Question 3 A 22yo healthy man you are seeing in the ED has a 3x4cm left upper extremity skin abscess. He notes several members of his wrestling team have had similar infections recently. The abscess is incised and 2cc of pus is drained. What is the most appropriate antibiotic therapy? A. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole B. Doxycycline C. Cephalexin D. No antibiotic is necessary
8 Infectious Diseases Society of America guideline for management of skin infections Give antibiotics after abscess drainage if: Fever Other evidence of systemic involvement Markedly impaired host defenses Inadequate response to drainage alone Stevens D. Clin Infect Dis 2014;59:e10-e participants (281 children) with abscess 5cm Randomized to 10 days of: Clindamycin 300mg TID TMP-SMX 1DS BID Placebo Daum RS. NEJM 2017; 376: 2545 Clinical cure 7 10 days after end of treatment in the intention to treat population Clindamycin % TMP-SMX % Placebo % All participants* Children Adults S. aureus isolated No S. aureus isolated Primary outcome *p<.001 for difference between clindamycin and placebo and between TMP-SMX and placebo NNT = 7 to prevent one clinical failure
9 Adverse events Clindamycin % TMP-SMX % Placebo % Any adverse event Diarrhea Nausea patient in TMP-SMX group had serious antibiotic-related adverse event (hypersensitivity reaction) Retrospective analysis of 269 patients hospitalized for cellulitis or abscess Compared outcomes between: Vancomycin alone Vancomycin plus clindamycin Wargo K. Clin Infect Dis 2015 ;61:1148 Primary outcome Hospital length of stay in days Vancomycin monotherapy Vancomycin and clindamycin All cases (mean ± SD) 4.0 ± ± Abscesses only 4.4 ± ± P Clindamycin group: 18% reduction in LOS after adjustment for treatment, I&D status, diabetes, outpatient antibiotics, and corticosteroid therapy
10 Summary Antibiotics and skin abscesses q Antibiotics after abscess drainage in outpatients improves outcomes q Benefit seen in S. aureus abscesses q Clindamycin less well tolerated than TMP-SMX q Whether adjunctive clindamycin for inpatients improves outcomes requires further study Antibiotic choice for cellulitis Question 4 45yo woman presents complaining of RLE erythema, swelling, and pain that began suddenly 12 hours ago. She is unable to bear weight due to the pain. She has a long history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (A1C 10.2). Her temperature is 38.7C and she has findings consistent with RLE cellulitis. There is no wound, purulence, or evidence of abscess. She has tinea pedis and onychomycosis.
11 What is the most appropriate initial therapy? A. Cefazolin B. Vancomycin C. Vancomycin + piperacillin-tazobactam D. Vancomycin + clindamycin Antibiotic selection for cellulitis q q q Uncertainty regarding optimal treatment since emergence of CA-MRSA In vitro and observational data suggest MRSA-active agents (TMP-SMX, doxycycline) not adequate for β- hemolytic streptococci Combination of β-lactam plus MRSA-active agent has become common practice (~15% of cases) 1,2 1) Hurley H.

NEJM 2015; 372:1093
14 Summary Antibiotic selection for cellulitis q National guidelines recommend β-lactam monotherapy q Addition of MRSA-active agent to a β-lactam does not improve outcomes q Increased risk of adverse outcomes with addition of clindamycin q TMP-SMX is a reasonable treatment option for non-purulent cellulitis Duration of therapy Question 4 continued Your patient s cellulitis has markedly improved after 2 days of cefazolin. She states she is leaving the day after tomorrow for a 10-day family vacation to Cancun, Mexico. When writing your discharge prescription, what total duration of therapy should be completed? A. 5 days B. 7 days C. 10 days D. 14 days

16 Summary of IDSA guideline treatment recommendations Short course of a single antibiotic targeted toward gram-positive pathogens Stevens D. Clin Infect Dis 2014; 59:e10-52 Single-dose treatment of skin infections Oritavancin and dalbavancin q Lipoglycopeptides with prolonged half-life à once-weekly dosing q Single dose as effective as 7-14 day courses of vancomycin and/or linezolid q Very expensive q Role to shorten or avoid hospitalization? Corey GR. NEJM 2014; 370:2180 Boucher HW. NEJM 2014; 370:2169 Dunne MW. Clin Infect Dis 2016; 62:545 Summary Duration of therapy q Existing evidence suggests prolonged antibiotic therapy does not improve outcomes q National guidelines support short courses of therapy q Role of long half-life agents unclear
17 Question 5 59yo man is hospitalized with his third episode of RLE cellulitis in the last 6 months. The prior two episodes completely resolved with appropriate short courses of beta-lactam therapy. On exam he has cellulitis without purulent drainage or abscess. There are no wounds, excoriations, skin changes suggestive of venous stasis, or tinea pedis.
