Abstract:
Cystic fibrosis lung disease is characterized by chronic infection, inflammation and a progressive loss of lung function. Patients are also affected by recurrent episodes of increased respiratory symptoms, called exacerbations which have a detrimental effect on quality of life, the rate of lung function decline, and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital. Diagnosis relies on a combination of symptoms, examination findings, the results of laboratory tests, and lung function. Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment but airway clearance, nutrition, and glucose homeostasis must also be optimized. Mild exacerbations are usually treated with oral antibiotics and more severe exacerbations with intravenous antibiotics. The choice of antibiotic is guided by the patient’s chronic pulmonary infections, the in-vitro antibiotic sensitivities, known antibiotic allergies, and the previous response to treatment. In patients with chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, antibiotic monotherapy is thought to increase the risk of resistance and treatment with 2 antibiotics is therefore suggested (usually a β‎-lactam and an aminoglycoside). Although there is a lack of evidence on the duration of treatment, most patients receive around 14 days. This can be altered according to the time taken for symptoms and lung function to return to pre-exacerbation levels. If patients are carefully selected and receive appropriate monitoring, home intravenous antibiotics can be as effective as in-patient treatment. They are also associated with decreased disruption to patients / family life, decreased risk of cross infection and decreased costs.

Abstract:
Management of CNS infections requires specific antimicrobial agents, as well as specific supportive treatment targeted at reducing raised intracranial pressure and other life-threatening complications. It is important that the need for management in an intensive care setting is considered early in the illness. Antibiotic resistance amongst the most common organisms causing bacterial meningitis is becoming more common and antibiotic therapy should be adjusted accordingly. Anti-inflammatory treatment such as steroids should be started as soon as possible in patients with proven acute bacterial meningitis. Optimally, this should be before or with the first dose of antibiotics. Vaccine research is progressing so that effective vaccines should be available in the future against all the common causes of bacterial meningitis and encephalitis, including Neisseria meningitidis serogroup b.

Abstract:
Sepsis is triggered by an infection, and treatment of sepsis requires timely identification of the patient, and rapid treatment with antibiotics, source control, and fluids. The site of infection, patient’s phenotype, and location of the patient will help drive decisions about initial antibiotic therapy. Patients with sepsis should be treated to ensure adequate cardiac output and organ perfusion, which usually requires infusion of intravenous fluids. In addition to haemodynamic and fluid support, some patients require infection source control. Many sepsis patients require additional supportive therapy with vasoactive agents, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and nutritional therapy.. When using these supportive therapies, the clinician should attempt to minimize the complications of the therapies, including withdrawal of therapies that are no longer necessary.. Patients who do not respond to initial therapy should be evaluated for resistant organisms, persistent sources, or alternate diagnoses.

Abstract:
Sepsis is triggered by an infection and treatment of sepsis requires timely identification of the patient, and rapid treatment with antibiotics, source control, and fluids. In the absence of a true biomarker for sepsis, the clinician needs to recognize which patients are at risk, as well as the common signs and symptoms of infection. The site of infection, the patient’s phenotype, and the location of the patient will help drive decisions about initial antibiotic therapy. Patients with sepsis should be treated to ensure adequate cardiac output and organ perfusion, which usually requires infusion of intravenous fluids. Crystalloid fluids are most frequently infused, and patients will often require large doses in the first 6–24 hours of treatment. In addition to haemodynamic and fluid support, some patients require infection source control. Many sepsis patients require additional supportive therapy with vasoactive agents, mechanical ventilation, renal replacement therapy, and nutritional therapy. The use of these supportive therapies allows for a patients host defence system to work in conjunction with antibiotics to fight off the infection. When using these supportive therapies, the clinician should attempt to minimize the complications of the therapies and the causative infection. Once a patient starts to clinically improve, it is essential that therapies that are no longer necessary are withdrawn. Patients who do not respond to initial therapy should be evaluated for either resistant organisms, persistent sources, or alternate diagnoses.

Abstract:
Neutropenia is defined by an absolute neutrophil count <500 per mm3. Chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression represents the main mechanism accounting for neutropenia, although various bone marrow disorders might also result in impaired granulopoiesis. Neutropenia, especially when profound and prolonged, is a major risk factor for severe bacterial and fungal infections. Early initiation of empirical broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy represents the cornerstone of the treatment of febrile neutropenia. A number of infected neutropenic patients may exhibit organ failures, such as acute respiratory failures and/or severe sepsis requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. This chapter discusses the particularities in the management of neutropenic patients in the ICU, including outcome and criteria for ICU admission, management of antimicrobials with respect to the current epidemiological trends, and other measures specific to this subgroup of patients.

Full text
Abstract:
Periocular Infections occur when there is inflammation of the conjunctiva. Uncomplicated viral infections can usually be managed with careful hand hygiene and lubrication of the eye with artificial tears. More severe infections are notable for purulent discharge, membrane formation, and scarring, and can lead to corneal change. For suspected bacterial conjunctivitis, empiric therapy begins with broad spectrum antibiotic eye drops or ointment, which are supplemented with oral antibiotics in cases associated with pharyngitis and in children with H. influenzae infection. For gonococcal conjunctivitis, systemic ceftriaxone is recommended for both adults and children (including neonates) due to the increasing prevalence of penicillin-resistant N. gonorrhoeae. If the cornea is not involved and the patient is extremely reliable, next day referral to an ophthalmologist in addition to management with IM ceftriaxone is sufficient. Otherwise, admission for IV therapy is advised. Copious, repeated irrigation is also advised to remove inflammatory mediators and debris that can contribute to corneal melting.

Full text
Abstract:
The realization of the harms resulting from indiscriminate use of antibiotics for minor infection has added impetus to the need to understand better the interaction between urogenital tract epithelium and invading bacteria during the initial stages of urinary tract infection (UTI). It is thought that uropathogenic Escherichia coli clones develop in the gut and migrate across the perineum to the urethra and up into the bladder. The response of the epithelium to bacterial adherence and the evolution of the invading bacteria will then govern the clinical consequences. These can vary between rapid invasion and further migration to produce systemic sepsis to tolerance of the bacteria in a planktonic state in asymptomatic bacteriuria. The key to these differences is the activation of epithelial pathogen-associated molecular pattern receptors by expressed proteins on the bacterial cell wall. Increased understanding of these interactions will lead to non-antibiotic-based strategies for clinical management of urinary infection.

Full text
Abstract:
Diabetic foot infections (DFI) are diagnosed by two or more classic findings of inflammation (redness, swelling, warmth, and tenderness) or purulent drainage within an existing diabetic foot wound. Wounds without clinical evidence of soft tissue or bone infection often do not require antibiotic therapy. When infection is present, empiric antibiotic regimens must be based on the available clinical and local epidemiologic data, but definitive therapy should be based on cultures of infected tissues or clinical response. Consideration of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) coverage should be given when local prevalence is high, in patients with a prior history of MRSA infection, or when the systemic manifestations are severe. Surgical intervention and vascular assessment play key roles in the management of many DFI; deep DFI require incision, drainage, and debridement. Redistribution of pressure off of the wound is a tenet in the management of DFI.

Full text
Abstract:
Quantitative culture techniques, performed before the introduction of new antibiotics, enable physicians to identify most patients who need immediate treatment for nosocomial pneumonia, and help select optimal therapy in a safe, well-tolerated manner. These techniques avoid resorting to broad-spectrum coverage of all patients with a clinical suspicion of infection, and may minimize the emergence of resistant micro-organisms in the intensive care unit. However, the full impact of this decision tree on patient outcome remains controversial. Antimicrobial therapy of patients with nosocomial pneumonia is a two-stage process. The first stage involves administering broad-spectrum antibiotics at doses maximizing bacterial killing as soon as possible to avoid inadequate treatment in patients with true bacterial pneumonia. The second stage focuses on trying to achieve this objective without overusing or abusing antibiotics. This will need the combination of a number of different steps, including commitment to focused and narrow treatment once the aetiological agents are known, switching to monotherapy after day 3, and shortening duration of therapy to 7–8 days in most patients, as dictated by the patient’s clinical response and microbiological information.

It describes the history of the disease, gives a summary of the study including study design and results, and relates the study to a modern-day principle of evidence-based medicine: observational studies in study design. Reginald H. Fitz’s insights over a century ago in a seminal case series regarding the nature of appendicitis, its potential sequelae, and the value of urgent surgical intervention changed the disease from a deadly one into one that can be easily cured by surgery. However, with the advent of modern broad spectrum antibiotic therapy, Fitz’s assertion that immediate surgical therapy is always mandated has recently come under question.

Abstract:
Initially always lethal, the prognosis of infective endocarditis (IE) has been revolutionized by antibacterial therapy and valve surgery. Nevertheless, it remains one of the deadliest infectious diseases, with ≥30% of patients dying within a year of diagnosis. Its incidence has also remained stable at 25–50 cases per million per year, and results predominantly from a combination of bacteraemia and a predisposing cardiac condition, including endocardial lesions and/or intracardiac foreign material. While antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended by various learned societies to cover healthcare procedures with the potential of causing bacteraemia in at-risk patients, there is no evidence to support this strategy. Even though the benefits are hypothetical, national guidelines should still be followed to avoid medico-legal issues. General preventive measures, such as education of clinicians and at-risk patients appear to be more crucial. Invasive procedures, especially intravenous catheterization, should be kept to the minimum possible. The severity of IE mandates a multidisciplinary and standardized approach to treatment, with involvement of dedicated surgeons within specialist centres. Standardized antibiotic protocols have produced dramatic reductions in hospital and 1-year mortality in reference centres. Most deaths now result from complications that constitute definite surgical indications, so optimization of surgical management and avoidance of delay will clearly improve prognosis. This disease has now entered an ‘early surgery’ era, with a more aggressive surgical approach showing promising results. Conditions such as septic shock, sudden death, and vancomycin-resistant staphylococcal endocarditis still constitute therapeutic and research challenges, and justify an important role for specialist centres.

Abstract:
Lower urinary tract infection is common, distressing, and when recurrent can have a significant impact on quality of life. The normally sterile urinary tract is the site of an ongoing but complex interplay between an evolving pathogen and a highly developed host immune defence system. The development of an active infection generally requires either greater virulence in the pathogen or deficient host immune defence. Nonetheless, even where infection has occurred, the interplay between pathogen and host continues, influencing the extent and level of invasion as well as the duration of infection and extent of tissue damage caused.Asymptomatic bacteriuria is discussed, with implications for treatment (usually not). The risk factors, diagnosis and management of simple cystitis are discussed, with a discussion of approaches to managing recurrent infections. Urethritis requires consideration of sexually transmitted infections and co-infections. Prostatitis requires more prolonged antibiotic treatment.

Abstract:
A wide range of tropical infectious diseases can cause critical illness. Knowledge of the local epidemiology where the disease is acquired is essential. In addition, local resistance patterns of common bacterial pathogens can be very different in tropical countries, so that antibiotic regimens might need adaptation. The ‘surviving sepsis’ guidelines are not always appropriate for the treatment of tropical sepsis. Both diseases require a more restricted fluid management. Leptospirosis is another important tropical disease that can cause sepsis with liver and renal failure or ARDS with pulmonary haemorrhages. Neglected tropical diseases causing neurological syndromes include trypanosomiasis (Sub-Saharan Africa) and rabies. Several viruses in the tropics can cause encephalitis. Recent epidemics of respiratory viruses causing life-threatening pneumonia have had their origins in tropical countries, including severe acute respiratory syndrome, influenza A subtype H5N1 (‘avian influenza’), and recently Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus.

Abstract:
A brain abscess is a life-threatening infection within the brain that originates as cerebritis and evolves into an encapsulated collection of purulent material. Epidemiologically, brain abscesses are seen more frequently in immunocompromised patients. The signs and symptoms of a brain abscess are influenced by the location and size of the infection, the causative pathogen, and the patient’s immune status and medical comorbidities. This diagnosis requires neurosurgical consultation for management and inpatient admission. The majority of patients undergo either needle aspiration or surgical excision. This is critical for obtaining a specimen for culture in order to direct accurate and specific antimicrobial therapy. Needle aspiration is more commonly utilized and has a lower mortality rate than surgical excision. Repeat imaging is required for any change in mental status. Empiric antibiotic selections are guided by the most likely source of infection and are adjusted for renal function.

Abstract:
Echocardiography plays a key role in the assessment of infective endocarditis (IE). It is useful both for the diagnosis of endocarditis, the assessment of the severity of the disease, the prediction of short-term and long-term prognosis, the prediction of embolic risk, the management of the complications of endocarditis, and the follow-up of patients under specific antibiotic therapy. The Task Force on the Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Infective Endocarditis of the European Society of Cardiology and the ‘Recommendations for the practice of echocardiography in infective endocarditis’ of the European Association for Echocardiography have underlined the value and limitations of echocardiography in IE, and gave clear recommendations for the optimal use of both transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography in IE. New data in the field of echocardiography in IE includes more extensive use of three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography, inclusion of other imaging techniques, and new important publications in the field of the prediction of embolic risk by echocardiography.
