Prophylaxis to Prevent Opportunistic Infections
Considerations for Prophylaxis
• Infection should be common and/or predictable
• Infection should be clinically significant
• Treatment (prophylaxis) should be effective, non-toxic and affordable
![Page 11: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Prophylaxis to Prevent Opportunistic Infections in the Developed World
Primary ProphylaxisPCP CD4 < 200 TMP/SMX

Cotrimoxazole is beneficial in all pts with HIV infection regardless of CD4 count
Mermin et al. Lancet 2004 ; 364: 1428
• Study in rural Uganda enrolled 509 HIV+ & 1522 HIV- individuals
• All clients observed for 5 months after which HIV+ were given TMP-SMX (960mg) and followed up for 1.5yrs
![Page 13: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Outcomes on Cotrimoxazole Prophylaxis
• Mortality reduced by 46%, p=0.006• Malaria incidence reduced by 72%
p<0.0001• Diarrhea incidence reduced by 35%
p<0.0001• Clinic visits reduced by 15% p=0.04• Hospital admissions reduced by 21%
p=0.04

Cotrimoxazole
WHO. Guidelines on co-trimoxazole prophylaxis for HIV-related infections among children, adolescents and adults. 2006
![Page 15: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WHO Guidelines 2008: Prophylaxis to Prevent Opportunistic Infections in the
Resource-limited settings
Co-trimoxazole WHO stage 2,3,4 or any stage with CD4 < 350
Tuberculosis In settings where active TB can be excluded it may be appropriate to screen for latent TB with PPD and treat with INH for 6 months
Cryptococcus In regions where cryptococcal disease is common it may be reasonable to prescribe azoles (fluconazole) for patients with stage 4 disease or CD4 < 100. Rule out active disease first
Histoplasmosis & Penicilliosis
In areas endemic for these infections can consider using itraconazole (rather than fluconazole) to prevent cryptococcus, histoplasmosis and penicilliosis
Malaria Co-trimoxazole daily
STDs Regular routine testing and treatment or syndromic management where testing not available
![Page 16: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
WHO Guidelines 2008: Prophylaxis to Prevent Opportunistic Infections in the
Resource-limited settings
Hepatitis B If serologic testing available: For patients who are HbcAB negative – give series of 3 regular or DD vaccine with post vaccination AB testingIf serologic testing not available and prevalence of HBV is high – give series of 3 regular or DD vaccine
Pneumococcal vaccination
Consider in adults with stage 1 disease or CD4 > 500Consider vaccination of children < 5 years who live with HIV infected persons
Influenza When feasible – annual vaccination with inactivated flu vaccine
![Page 17: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
EFFECTS OF HAART ON OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS
• Declining incidence
• Reduced need for prophylaxis (primary and secondary)
• Spontaneous improvements and cure
• Immune reconstitution effects
![Page 18: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Case 1
• A 32 yo HIV+, pregnant Ugandan woman who has been living in South Africa since she was 12 decides to return to Uganda to celebrate her mother’s 50th birthday.
• A week after arriving she develops fever, myalgias, headache, mild dyspnea and diarrhea. She takes Tylenol for her fevers with little effect and then becomes lethargic over the next 12 hours prompting her family to bring her to the local clinic.
• PMHx notable for HIV (untreated with CD4 of 189), thrush and 2 previous spontaneous abortions
![Page 19: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Case 1

Malaria: Epidemiology
• 300 to 500 million cases per year
• 1 million deaths per year – 80% in African children
• Geographic overlap with HIV epidemic
![Page 23: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Malaria: Epidemiology
WHO, 2006
Overlapping geography, although:Malaria mostly ruralHIV mostly urban
![Page 24: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
HIV/Malaria Interaction
• Modeling suggests that HIV leads to additional 3 million cases of malaria and additional 65,000 malarial deaths (Korenromp, Emer Inf Dis, 2005)
• Malaria is associated with increased in HIV RNA: increase of 0.25 log with asymptomatic infection and 0.89 log with symptomatic malaria (Kubin, Lancet, 2005)

Case 1
Why did this patient become so ill?
![Page 27: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Clinical Presentation
Severity Risks
• Residence in a malaria endemic region?– Yes: Adults mostly immune, disease primarily
in children < 5– No: Population not immune – more severe
disease
• Pregnancy– Even if residing in endemic region – reduced
immunity
![Page 28: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Clinical Presentation
Severity Risks
• HIV status– Increased frequency of malaria (clinical and
subclinical)– Increased severity - especially in those with
CD4 < 200– Higher parasite densities and more clinical
symptoms with lower CD4 counts
(Grimwade, AIDS, 2004) (Patnaik, JID, 2005)(Cohen, CID, 2005) (Whitworth, Lancet, 2000)
![Page 29: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Clinical Presentation
• Prospective cohort study in Chris Hani Baragwanath Hosptial in Soweto, SA
• N=336; 33% HIV+, 33% non-immune
• Risks for severe disease: HIV+ status, high parasite load, and high WBC
• HIV patients:– Risk of severe disease higher in those with CD4 < 200
– Risk of severe disease higher only in non-immune patients (OR 4.15)
– More atypical symptoms (GI and respiratory) (Cohen, CID, 2005)
![Page 30: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Clinical Presentation
Clinical Signs and Symptoms
• Non-immune patients– Fever (q48 for all but P. malariae, q72), chills,
myalgia, headache, vomiting, diarrhea, splenomegaly, thrombocytopenia, pulmonary and renal dysfunction,
– Severe disease: acidosis, hypoglycemia, DIC, shock, cerebral malaria (40% mortality in Africa)
![Page 31: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Diagnosis
• Blood smear
• Antigen detection methods
• PCR
• Non-immune patients may have symptoms prior to detectible parasitemia – need to perform serial testing
![Page 32: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Prevention
• How might her infection have been averted?
– If she hadn’t gone home!– Chemo-prophylaxis– Insecticide treated nets
![Page 33: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Prevention
• Prospective cohort study of 1035 patients that were given TMP/SMX (TS) or TS + ARV or TS + ARV + ITN (interventions added to population over time)
• Compared with baseline malaria incidence rate of 50.8/100py– TS = 9/100py
– TS/ARV = 3.5/100py
– TS/ARV/ITN = 2.1/100py
(Mermin, Lancet, 2006)
![Page 34: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Prevention
Malaria Prevention in HIV+ Pregnant WomenClinical situation Recommendaion
All pregnant women at risk for malaria Insectiside treated nets (ITN)
Not on ARVs TMP/SMX - no Start IPT (SP X 3)
TMP/SMX – yes No IPT, start TMP/SMX 4 wks after IPT
Will get SD NVP only Give IPT or TMP/SMX
Will get short course AZT Give IPT or TMP/SMX and follow Hgb
Will get NVP based HAART and is < 32 wks No IPT, start TMP/SMX 4 wks after IPT and ARVs 2 wks later
Will get NVP based HAART and is > 32 wks No IPT, start HAART immediately – then TMP/SMX
Already on TMP/SMX and or HAART No IPT, continue TMP/SMX
(Brentlinger, Behrens, Micek, Lancet ID, 2006)

HIV/Malaria: Treatment
• Dictated by– Malaria species– Clinical status– Regional drug susceptibilities
![Page 36: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Treatment
• P,O study of SP therapy for malaria in patients presenting to clinic at Siaya District Hospital, Kenya (2002-04)
• N=508, 130 HIV-, 256 HIV+ with CD4 > 200 and 122 HIV+ with CD4 < 200. All treated with SP (1500/75)
• MV analysis looking at treatment failure at 28 days. Compared to HIV- patients: HIV+ patients with anemia had a significantly higher failure rate (20.5% Vs 7.7% - HR of 3.4)

HIV/Malaria: Treatment/Drug Interactions
(Khoo, AIDS, 2005)
![Page 42: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
HIV/Malaria: Treatment/Drug Interactions
• Quinine is extensively metabolized by CYP 3A4. Quinine exposure may be increased in patients on PIs (RTV) and decreased in patients on NNRTI (EFV, NVP, ETV)
• Lumefantrine and halofantrine are extensively metabolized by CYP 3A4 and halofantrine can prolong the QT interval. Using either drug in patients on PIs should be avoided. NNRTI use would be expected to decrease exposure to these drugs
(Khoo, AIDS, 2005)

Varicella-zoster virus
• Organism: Varicella-zoster virus, a member of the herpes virus family.
• Epidemiology: – In the pre-vaccine era over 90% of US adults were sero-positive
for VZV.
– Risk of developing zoster in HIV infected individuals is 17 times that of non-infected patients (~30/1000 py in HIV+ men Vs 2/1000 py in HIV- men).
– Recurrent attacks in HIV+ patients: ~20-30%.
(Rogues, JID, 1993)(Veenstra, AIDS, 1995)

VZV Clinical Syndromes
• Cutaneous
• Ophthalmic
• Central Nervous System
• Other (hepatitis, gastritis, pancreatitis, pneumonitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome)
![Page 52: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
VZV Cutaneous Disease
Zoster• Single dermatomal
(throacic 40-50%, trigeminal 20-25%)
• Multi-dermatomal
• Disseminated (3 or more continguous dermatomes or 20 lesions outside a snigle dermatome)
• Chronic: ulcerative, crusted and hyperkeratoic lesions that persist for months
(Wright, Clin Derm, 1997)(Cohen, Clin Exp Derm, 1989)(Castanet, Dermatology, 1996)(WWW.knol.google.com)

VZV Ophthalmic Disease• 10-17% of zoster involves V1 and
50-89% of these cases report ocular complications (usually keratitis)
• ARN: anterior uveitis and peripheral retinal necrosis
– CD4 < 200, dcreased acuity and pain
– 60-90% have antecedent zoster
• RPHRN– More common than ARN, CD4 5-83
– Usually bilateral
– Rapidly progressive multi-focal lesions with early fovea disease and retinal detachments (70%)…minimal inflammation
– 70-82% have antecedent zoster(Bayu, CID, 1997)(Chern, Int Ophthal Clin, 1998)(Ormerod, CID, 1998)(Batisse, AIDS, 1996)

VZV CNS Disease
• Accounts for 2-4% of CNS disease
• PHN (9-14%)
• Encephalitis– Fever, HA, behavior change and focal
deficits, usually 2-3 weeks post rash
– Rapid onset of CNS symptoms with appearance of necrotizing and demyelinating lesions – WGM junction
• Large/medium vessels – ischemia/hemorrhage
• Small vessel with ischemia and demyelination
• Ventricultis
• CSF: elevated protein and lymphocytic pleocytosis
• Meningitis (with or without zoster)
• Myelitis– Typically weeks after zoster
(Gray, Brain, 1994)(Kleinschmidt-DeMasters, Hum Pathol, 1996)(Weaver, Neurology, 1999)(DeLa Blanchardiere, Scan J Inf Dis, 2000)(Lionnet, CID, 1996)(www.medscape.com)

VZV: Diagnosis and Treatment• Diagnosis: Fluorescent antibody assay of cells scraped
from the base of a lesion. Culture is less sensitive that FA and can take weeks to grow. PCR.
• Treatment: – Zoster: acyclovir, Val-acyclovir, famciclovir
– ARN: IV acyclovir (or foscarnet)
– RPHRN: IV foscarnet and ganciclovir and intravitreal ganciclovir and/or foscarnet
– Encephalitis: foscarnet and IV acyclovir
– Acyclovir-resistant VZV: foscarnet
• Prevention– Vaccination (to prevent varicella) for individual with CD4 > 200
– Zoster vaccination – under investigation
– Post exposure: VZIG and vaccination > acyclovir

Toxoplasma gondii
• Organism– Toxoplasma gondii, a protozoa
• Epidemiology and route of infection– By age 50, sero-prevalence rate is 15% in USA
compared with 90 to 100% in France and developing nations
– Ingestion of oocysts or tissue cysts leads to the release of organisms which mature into tachyzoites, disseminate and then persist in the CNS or other tissues
– Immunosuppression allows for the development of trophozoites from the tissue cysts leading to disease.
![Page 64: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Toxoplasma gondii
• Clinical presentation/syndrome– CD4 < 100. Encephalitis; fever, mental status changes, headache,
seizures and focal neurological signs.
• Diagnosis– Serology (ELISA) is positive is over 95% of patients? (reported range 22-
95)
– MRI or CT shows multiple enhancing lesions in the grey-white matter junction, white matter or basal ganglia
– Definitive diagnosis requires brain biopsy; a presumptive diagnosis can be made given a characteristic presentation and response to anti-Toxoplasma therapy.

Toxoplasma gondii
Treatment• Pyrimethamine plus sulfadiazine plus leukovorin or
• Pyrimethamine plus clindamycin plus leukovorin or

PML and HIV
PML• Caused by JC virus (a polyoma virus)• 85% of adults have serologic evidence for
infection• Most are asymptomatically infected as children• Latent in kidney, traffics in lymphocytes and may
be latent in brain
![Page 69: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
PML and HIV
Clinically• Typically presents with focal CNS signs.
Preference for– Occipital lobes (hemianopia)– Frontal and parietal lobes (hemiparesis)– Cerebellum (ataxia and dysmetria)
• Seizure in 20%• Insidious progression over weeks to months
![Page 70: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
PML and HIV
Clinically• PML IRIS
– Onset after HAART– Typical clinical presentation– Atypical MR - edema and mass effect, significant
enhancement– Less JCV by PCR– May have better outcome
![Page 71: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
PML and HIV
Diagnosis• Typical MR findings - patchy white matter lesions
(hyperintense on T2 and flair), 10-15% enhance with gadolinium
• CSF JCV PCR positive in 70 - 90%• Brain biopsy
![Page 72: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
PML and HIV
Treatment• HAART
– > 60% response rate (20-30% improve)– Worse outcomes for those with CD4 < 150
• Serotonergic receptor 5HT2a may be used by JCV: anecdotal reports of 5HT2a binding agents having benefits (olanzapine, mirtazapine, respiradone)
• Steroids for PML IRIS
![Page 73: February 11, 2010 HIV-Associated Opportunistic Infections 2010 Robert D. Harrington, MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5681478e550346895db4bf24/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Summary
• Opportunistic infections are predictable based on a patients immune status and environment
• Disseminated and atypical presentations are the rule with extreme immune suppression
• Prophylaxis against certain OIs is indicated if the OI is common and the prophylaxis is affordable, effective and well tolerated
• HAART alone is treatment enough for certain OIs and can eliminate the need for prophylaxis
• The timing of HAART relative to OI therapy is controversial but should probably be early…..except with cryptococcus and watch out for IRIS!
