 Epidemiology  Clinical Manifestations  Diagnosis  Prevention  Treatment  Considerations in Pregnancy Bacterial Respiratory Infections June 2013www.aidsetc.org 3

 Bacterial pneumonia is a common cause of HIV- related morbidity  In HIV-infected persons:  Higher rates of bacterial pneumonia  Higher mortality  Increased incidence of bacteremia (esp. with S pneumoniae)  Can occur at any CD4 count or stage of disease  Recurrent pneumonia (≥2 episodes in 1 year) is an AIDS-defining condition Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Epidemiology June 2013www.aidsetc.org 4

 Incidence lower with use of ART  Risk factors include  Low CD4 count (<200 cells/µL)  No or intermittent use of ART  Cigarette smoking  Injection drug use  Chronic viral hepatitis Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Epidemiology (2) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 5

 Organisms:  S pneumoniae  Drug-resistant strains are increasingly common  H influenzae  P aeruginosa  S aureus, including MRSA  Atypicals (infrequent) Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Epidemiology (3) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 6

 Presentation similar to that of HIV uninfected, with acute symptoms (fevers, chills, rigors, chest pain, productive cough, dyspnea)  Subacute illness suggests alternative diagnosis (PCP, TB, chronic fungal disease, etc)  Physical exam: evidence of focal consolidation or pleural effusion  WBC usually elevated, may see left shift Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Clinical Manifestations June 2013www.aidsetc.org 7

 Assess disease severity (including signs of sepsis) and arterial oxygenation in all patients  Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) appears valid for HIV-infected patients Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Clinical Manifestations (2) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 8

June 2013www.aidsetc.org 9 Chest X ray: pneumococcal pneumonia showing right middle lobe consolidation Credit: C. Daley, MD; HIV InSite  Chest X ray: Commonly shows unilateral, focal, segmental, or lobar consolidation, but may show atypical presentations (multilobar, nodular, reticulonodular) Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Diagnosis

 CAP diagnosis and management guidelines apply to HIV- infected as well as HIV-uninfected patients  Chest X ray: PA and lateral, if possible  Consider the possibility of specific pathogens, eg:  TB: if compatible clinical and X-ray presentation, manage as potential TB, pending test results  PCP: evaluate if clinically indicated (PCP may coexist with bacterial pneumonia)  P aeruginosa: if CD4 ≤50 cells/µL, preexisting lung disease, neutropenia, on corticosteroids, recent hospitalization, or residence in a health care facility  S aureus: if recent influenza or other viral infection, history of injection drug use, or severe bilateral necrotizing pneumonia Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Diagnosis (2) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 10

 Microbiologic diagnosis allows targeted treatment of specific pathogen(s)  Test to identify specific pathogens that would significantly alter standard (empirical) management decisions, if their presence is suspected  For patients well enough to be treated as outpatient: routine testing for etiology is optional  For hospitalized patients with suspected CAP: Gram stain and culture of expectorated sputum specimen, 2 blood cultures  Gram stain and culture of expectorated sputum only if good quality specimen as well as good lab performance measures  Endotracheal aspirate sample for intubated patients  Consider bronchoscopy with BAL lavage if differential includes pathogens such as P jiroveci Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Diagnosis (3) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 11

 Microbiologic diagnosis  Consider blood cultures for all:  Higher rate of bacteremia in HIV-infected patients with CAP  Higher risk of drug-resistant pneumococcal infection  Blood culture has high specificity but low sensitivity  Consider urinary antigen tests for L pneumophila and S pneumoniae  Consider diagnostic thoracentesis if pleural effusion Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Diagnosis (4) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 12

 No effective means of reducing exposure to S pneumoniae and H influenzae Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Preventing Exposure June 2013www.aidsetc.org 13

 Pneumococcal vaccine:  Recommended for all with HIV infection, regardless of CD4 count  23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23)  Multiple observational studies reported benefits including reduced risk of pneumococcal bacteremia  13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13)  Recommended for use in adults with HIV or other immunocompromising conditions  7-valent PCV  High efficacy against vaccine-type invasive pneumococcal disease in one study Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Preventing Disease June 2013www.aidsetc.org 14

 Pneumococcal vaccination recommendations  No previous pneumococcal vaccination  Preferred:  1 dose PCV13 followed by:  If CD4 ≥200 cells/µL: PPV23 should be given ≥8 weeks after PCV13  If CD4 200 cells/µL  Alternative:  1 dose PPV23  Previous PPV23 vaccination  1 dose of PCV13, to be given ≥1 year after last receipt of PPV23 Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Preventing Disease (2) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 15

 Pneumococcal vaccination recommendations (2)  Revaccination  Individuals who previously received PPV23  Duration of protective effect of PPV23 is not known  1 dose PPV23 recommended for age years if ≥5 years since 1st dose of PPV  Another dose of PPV23 for age ≥65 if ≥5 years since previous PPV23  Single dose of PCV13 should be given if ≥1 year since previous PPV23  Subsequent doses of PPV23 as above  No more than 3 lifetime doses of PPV23 Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Preventing Disease (3) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 16

 Influenza vaccine:  Recommended annually during influenza season (bacterial pneumonia may occur as complication of influenza)  Live attenuated vaccine is contraindicated and is not recommended for HIV-infected persons Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Preventing Disease (4) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 17

 H influenzae type B vaccine:  Not usually recommended for adults, unless anatomic or functional asplenia (low incidence of infection) Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Preventing Disease (5) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 18

 Antiretroviral therapy: reduces risk of bacterial pneumonia  TMP-SMX and macrolides: reduce frequency of bacterial respiratory infections when given as prophylaxis for PCP or MAC, respectively  These should not be prescribed solely to prevent bacterial respiratory infections  Behavioral interventions:  Cessation of smoking, injection drug use, alcohol use Bacterial Respiratory Disease: Preventing Disease (6) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 19

 Outpatient versus inpatient treatment:  Severity of disease and CD4 count may both be important  Mortality higher with higher PSI class, with CD4 <200 cells/µL  Some offer hospitalization to all CAP patients with CD4 200 cells/µL  Basic principles of treatment are same as those for HIV uninfected Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment June 2013www.aidsetc.org 20

 Target most common pathogens, particularly S pneumoniae and H influenzae  Empiric treatment should be started promptly  Specimens for diagnosis should be collected before antibiotics are given  Modify treatment, if indicated, based on microbiologic and drug susceptibility results  Fluoroquinolones should be used cautiously if TB suspected but not being treated (risk of TB monotherapy)  Empiric macrolide monotherapy cannot be routinely recommended (risk of macrolide-resistant S pneumoniae) Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (2) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 21

 Outpatient treatment (empiric)  Preferred:  Oral beta-lactam + macrolide (azithromycin, clarithromycin)  Preferred beta-lactams: high-dose amoxicillin or amoxicillin-clavulanate  Alternative beta-lactams: cefpodoxime, cefuroxime  Fluoroquinolone, especially if penicillin allergy  Levofloxacin 750 mg PO QD  Moxifloxacin 400 mg PO QD  Alternative: beta-lactam + doxycycline  Duration of therapy: 7-10 days for most; minimum 5 days  Should be afebrile for hours, clinically stable Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (3) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 22

 Hospitalized, non-ICU treatment (empiric)  Preferred:  IV beta-lactam + macrolide (azithromycin, clarithromycin)  Preferred beta-lactams: ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ampicillin- sulbactam  IV fluoroquinolone, especially if penicillin allergy  Levofloxacin 750 mg IV QD  Moxifloxacin 400 mg IV QD  Alternative:  IV beta-lactam + doxycycline  IV penicillin for confirmed pneumococcal pneumonia Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (4) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 23

 Inpatient, ICU (empiric)  Preferred:  IV beta-lactam + IV azithromycin  IV beta-lactam + (levofloxacin 750 mg IV QD or moxifloxacin 400 mg IV QD)  Preferred beta-lactams: ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ampicillin- sulbactam  Alternative:  Penicillin allergy: aztreonam IV + IV levofloxacin or moxifloxacin as above Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (5) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 24

 Most CAP pathogens can be treated with the recommended regimens  Exceptions: P aeruginosa and S aureus (including community-acquired MRSA)  Empiric coverage may be warranted, if either is suspected  Diagnostic tests (sputum Gram stain and culture) likely to be of high yield Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (6) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 25

 Empiric Pseudomonas treatment  Preferred: antipneumococcal antipseudomonal beta- lactam + (ciprofloxacin 400 mg IV Q8-12H or levofloxacin 750 mg IV QD)  Preferred beta-lactams: piperacillin-tazobactam, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem  Alternative:  Beta-lactam as above + IV aminoglycoside + IV azithromycin  Beta-lactam as above + IV aminoglycoside + (moxifloxacin 400 mg IV QD or levofloxacin 750 mg IV QD)  Penicillin allergy: replace beta-lactam with aztreonam Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (7) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 26

 Empiric S aureus (including community-acquired MRSA) treatment:  Add vancomycin (IV) or linezolid (IV or PO) alone to the antibiotic regimen  For severe necrotizing pneumonia, consider addition of clindamycin to vancomycin (not to linezolid), to minimize bacterial toxin production Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (8) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 27

 When etiology of the pneumonia is identified, modify antimicrobial therapy to target that pathogen  Consider switch from IV to PO therapy: when improved clinically, able to tolerate PO medications, have intact GI function  Clinical stability: temperature 90% or PaO2 >60 mm Hg Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment (9) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 28

 Initiate ART early in course of bacterial pneumonia  In one randomized study, early ART in setting of OIs (including bacterial infections) decreased AIDS progression and death Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Starting ART June 2013www.aidsetc.org 29

 Clinical response typically seen within hours after start of appropriate antimicrobial therapy  Advanced HIV, CD4 7 days)  Patients on ART had shorter time to clinical stability  IRIS has not been described Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Monitoring and Adverse Events June 2013www.aidsetc.org 30

 If worsening symptoms/signs or no improvement, evaluate further for other infectious and noninfectious causes  Consider possibility of TB Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Treatment Failure June 2013www.aidsetc.org 31

 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine, as above  Influenza vaccine during influenza season  Antibiotic prophylaxis generally not recommended to prevent bacterial respiratory infections (potential for drug resistance and toxicity) Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Preventing Recurrence June 2013www.aidsetc.org 32

 Diagnosis as in nonpregnant adults (abdominal shielding during radiographic procedures)  Management as in nonpregnant adults, except:  Clarithromycin not recommended as first-line agent (birth defects in animals); azithromycin recommended when macrolide is indicated  Quinolones may be used for serious infections when indicated (no arthropathy or birth defects reported in exposed human fetuses)  Doxycycline not recommended (hepatoxicity, staining of fetal teeth and bones) Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Considerations in Pregnancy June 2013www.aidsetc.org 33

 Management:  Beta-lactams: no known teratogenicity or increased toxicity  Aminoglycosides: theoretical risk of fetal renal or eighth nerve damage, but not documented in humans except with streptomycin, kanamycin  Linezolid: limited data; not teratogenic in animal studies Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Considerations in Pregnancy (2) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 34

 Increased risk of preterm labor and delivery  If pneumonia after 20 weeks of gestation, monitor for contractions  Pneumococcal and influenza vaccines can be administered  Influenza vaccine recommended for all pregnant women during influenza season  During pregnancy, vaccines should be administered after ART has been initiated, to minimize transient HIV RNA increases that may be caused by vaccine Bacterial Respiratory Infections: Considerations in Pregnancy (3) June 2013www.aidsetc.org 35
