nije slučano uspostavlje princip savetovanje i testiranje, kod kompetentnog lekara, te neće biti nedoumica oko interpretacije rezultata, nadležni lekar će sve bjasniti pacijentu

neznam, ja vam nisam ni prethodni savetovao, te ne mogu komentarisati ni naredne, niti potrebu da se testirate ponovo, to je posao lekara koji vam je testiranje, uopšte, savetovao.No, često pacijenti odlaze u nekakve nekompetntne ustanove, koje nisu referentne za savetovanje i dijagnostiku polno prenosivih infekcija, te onda pacijenti tumaraju po internetu.Testirane na polno prenosive infkcij se radi samo u za to referentnim ustanovama i nikada "na svoju ruku"-onaj lekar koi savetuje tstirane bi trebalo da objasni pacijentu rezultate i kako se polne bolesti preveniraju...

Treatment of Clostridioides difficile–Induced Diarrhea

  • Oral vancomycin or oral fidaxomicin

Oral vancomycin or oral fidaxomicin is recommended by the American College of Gastroenterology (1) for the treatment of a primary episode of nonsevere C. difficile–induced diarrhea.

Fidaxomicin 200 mg orally every 12 hours for 10 days is recommended by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) as first-line therapy for C. difficile infection (2). Fidaxomicin decreases the risk of recurrence more than vancomycin. Vancomycin 125 mg orally 4 times a day for 10 days is an alternative (2).

Metronidazole is no longer recommended as first-line therapy for C. difficile–induced diarrhea. However, oral metronidazole can be used if vancomycin or fidaxomicin is not available.

Vancomycin 500 mg orally or by nasogastric tube 4 times a day and metronidazole 500 mg IV every 8 hours are recommended by the ISDA/SHEA for fulminant disease without ileus.

If ileus is present, a retention enema can be given as a dosage of vancomycin 500 mg in 10 mL saline per rectum 4 times a day (1).

If possibly causative antibiotics are being used, they should be stopped as soon as possible, or patients should be switched to an antibiotic regimen less likely to cause C. difficile–induced diarrhea.

Cholestyramine resin, Saccharomyces boulardii yeast, and probiotics have not been proved to be beneficial but are frequently added.

Nitazoxanide appears to be comparable to oral vancomycin but is not commonly used in the United States.

A few patients require total colectomy for cure.

Treatment of recurrences

C. difficile–induced diarrhea recurs in 15 to 20% of patients, typically within a few weeks of stopping treatment. Recurrence often results from reinfection (with the same or different strain), but some cases may involve persistent spores from the initial infection. For patients with recurrent infections, the ISDA guidelines suggest fidaxomicin (standard or extended-pulsed regimen) rather than a standard course of vancomycin. Vancomycin in a tapered and pulsed regimen or as a standard course are alternatives for a first recurrence. For patients with multiple recurrences, vancomycin in a tapered and pulsed regimen, vancomycin followed by rifaximin, and fecal microbiota transplantation are options in addition to fidaxomicin (2).

Infusion of donor feces (fecal transplant, usually done via colonoscopy) increases the likelihood of resolution in patients who have frequent recurrences; presumably, the mechanism is restoration of normal fecal microbiota. About 200 to 300 mL of donor feces are used; donors are tested for enteric and systemic pathogens. Feces can be infused using a nasal-duodenal tube, colonoscope, or enema; the optimal method has not been determined.

Oral fecal microbiota transplant capsules and a fecal microbiota suspension for rectal administration are commercially available. They can be given a few days after antibiotic treatment of recurrent C. difficile infection to prevent recurrence.

A human monoclonal antibody, bezlotoxumab 10 mg/kg IV given once, binds to and neutralizes C. difficile toxin B; it can be used for prevention of recurrent C. difficile–induced diarrhea along with standard-of-care treatment in patients who have had a recurrence within the last 6 months.

Prevention of spread

Infection control measures are vital to reduce the spread of C. difficile among patients and health care workers.

Key Points

  • Antibiotic therapy can cause intestinal overgrowth of toxin-secreting C. difficile, resulting in a pseudomembranous colitis that can be severe and difficult to cure.

  • Cephalosporins (particularly 3rd-generation), penicillins, clindamycin, and fluoroquinolones pose the highest risk.

  • Diagnose using a stool assay for C. difficile antigen and toxin and sometimes PCR testing for the toxin gene.

  • Treat with oral fidaxomicin or vancomycin.

  • Recurrence is common; re-treat with antibiotics, and consider fecal transplantation or bezlotoxumab for refractory recurrences.

kombinacija dveju krema kortikosteroida(Sinoderm) i mikonazola(Dactanol), jedna ujutru , druga uveće i ketokonazol šampon za kosu mogu da postignu uspeh, no kako je to hronična bolest, nije uvek verovatno kompletno izlečenje

erupcije labijalnog i/ili genitalnog herpesa su česta pojava u opštoj populaciji i ima povezanost s prolazno oslablenim imunološkim nadzorom nad tim latentnim herpes virusinim nfekciama, a svakako ne ukazuju na HV infekciju, kada erupcija herpesa ima sasvim drugačije kliičke karakteristike
