Match each clinical exposure scenario with the most appropriate targeted post-exposure management or prophylaxis protocol.
- A 28-year-old healthcare worker sustains a deep needlestick injury from a source patient with untreated HIV infection and a high viral load.Initiate a 28-day course of tenofovir-emtricitabine plus raltegravir.
- A 20-year-old college student shares a small dormitory room with a peer recently hospitalized with confirmed Neisseria meningitidis meningitis.Administer a single oral dose of ciprofloxacin or a short course of oral rifampin.
- A 35-year-old camper awakens to find a bat in their cabin bedroom. No clear bite marks are identified, and they have no history of prior rabies vaccination.Administer human rabies immune globulin and initiate the rabies vaccine series.
- A 25-year-old pregnant woman in her first trimester is exposed to a child who subsequently developed the slapped-cheek rash of erythema infectiosum.Perform maternal serologic testing for IgG and IgM antibodies; no targeted antimicrobial prophylaxis is indicated.
Cevap
The HIV exposure requires a 28-day 3-drug PEP regimen. The meningococcal exposure requires short-course ciprofloxacin or rifampin. The bat exposure requires rabies immune globulin and vaccine. The Parvovirus B19 exposure requires maternal serology and observation.
Each clinical scenario corresponds to distinct, evidence-based post-exposure management guidelines based on pathogen transmission dynamics and available targeted therapies.
