“What empiric antifungal antibiotic would you use for meningitis?” UNC Wednesday Conference Case #1 Kees van Dam HPI 25 yo Caucasian female with history of severe Cystic Fibrosis underwent a double lung transplant on 1/10/07. On 1/11/07 she underwent evacuation of a left sided hemothorax as well as takedown and revision of the left pulmonary artery anastomosis. HPI Post-operative course further complicated by episode of asystole after central line placement (sp) resuscitation. Renal failure thought to be due to tacrolimus. Patient had been on CVVHD since 12307. HPI She was difficult to “wean” from ventilator but on 2/5/07 was successfully extubated. She She had been on TPN during this time. has required epogen for anemia and has had several blood transfusions, most recently on 2/8/07 HPI the night of the 9th, an RN was drawing blood from the patient who appeared confused and asked RN what she was doing. Patient then began staring into space and gasping for breath. She was given narcan for possible dilaudid OD. She had twitching all over for a few hours. She was intubated. Neurology called, MRI of brain performed. During MRI: 2/9/2007 1. Leptomeningeal enhancement, most prominently seen over the posterior parietal and occipital lobes. HPI Critical Care Fellow on Transplant Service was preparing for LP and called ID Fellow on call with question “What empiric antifungals should we place this patient on after LP?” Past Medical History Cystic fibrosis: Severe pulmonary disease on 4L via NC continuously Portal gastropathy Hepatic disease Pancreatic insufficiency H/O Multi-drug resistant pseudomonas. Massive hemoptysis in 2005. Hypertrophic pulmonary osteoarthropathy Social History She was living nearby in a temporary house with her father prior to transplant surgery.

Largest virus that infects humans Linear double stranded DNA encodes 230 nonoverlapping ORFs. CMV Transmitted by: blood, tissue exposure, perinatally, sexual contact, household occupational exposure. Primary and Secondary Infection: Like all other herpes viruses CMV can establish latent infection. PMN’s, T lymphocytes, endothelial vascular tissue, renal epithelial cells, salivary glands, can harbor latent virus. Immunosuppression: HIV infection, immunosuppressive therapy (ex antilymphocyte antibody (OKT3) infusion. Illness, can lead to activation from latent state. CMV: Mononucleosis CMV in healthy young adult can cause infectious mononucleosis syndrome (est 21%); fever, lymphadenopathy, lymphocytosis. Typically “typhoidal” with predominance of fever, lack of sore-throat, enlarged exudative tonsils found in EBV mono. No heterophile antibodies in blood. Low level LFT abnormalities. Jaundice rare Rare complications: Insterstitial PNA, hepatitis, GB syndrome, Meningoencephalitis, myocarditis, TTPenia, hemolytic anemia, rashes 60-70% CMV seroprevalence in US cities, 100% in some parts of Africa. CMV: HIV, AIDS pts. HIV, AIDS: CMV most commone viral opportunistic infection (21-44% of pts with AIDS in pre HAART): CMV retinitis CNS:Polyradiculopathy, Mononeuritis multiplex, painful neuropathy, Meningoencephalitis (see further) GI: Esophagitis, Colitis, cholecystitis, acalculous cholecystitis. CMV and transplant recipients CMV infection can result in pneumonia, hepatitis, pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal side effects, among others, in the transplant recipient. See timeline for onset Fig. 26–14 in: Sabiston. Textbook of Surgery: the Biological Basis of Modern Surgical Practice. 17th ed. Book available online via the UNC-CH Libraries CMV: After Organ Transplant CMV infections typically occur within first 120 days post transplant when immunosuppression is greatest. Antithymocyte infusions, cyclophoshamide, aztothioprine, steroids, cyclosporine Degree of immunosuppression correlates with risk for infection with BMT > renal transplantation. Symptomatic infection SOT: in 8% kidney, 29% liver, 25% heart, 50% kidney/pancreas, 22% small bowel, 39% heart-lung CMV: After Organ Transplant CMV: pneumonitis, hepatitis, esophagitis, colitis, GB, pancreatitis, epididymitis, retinitis, meningoencephaltis. Frequently occurs in transplanted organ. Risk dependent on Serological status of Donor(D) and Recipient D+/R- (85%)> D+/R+ (69%> D-R+(58)> D-/R- Primary infection from blood, transplanted organ, or more commonly reactivation. CMV: Prophylaxis and Preemptive Rx Prophylaxis: Universal, Selective (D+/R-, D-/R+) prophylaxis with acyclovir, valacyclovir, gancyclovir, valgancyclovir. Preemptive Rx: Monitor peripheral blood viral load, evidence of end-organ disease and then treat. CMV CNS Disease: CMV: hematogenous spread in monocytes, macrophages from blood to CNS. Possibly Can through direct infection of CNS infect: astrocytes, neurons, oligodendroglia, capillary endothelia CMV CNS Disease: Most Data from HIV, AIDS Reported cases of cytomegalovirus of the brain, 1965 to 1995 See table in: Arribas et al, Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis, Annals of Internal Medicine, 1996, Vol 125, Issue 7 CMV CNS Disease: Polyradiculopathy Symptoms: Initial lower extremity weakness Sacral pain, paresthesias Urinary retention Ascending flaccid paralysis Labs: CSF: Polymorphonuclear pleocytosis, Low Glucose (<40) +CMV by PCR in CSF Peripheral Blood: CMV viremia MRI: may see transverse hyperintense lesions on T2WI, gad enhancement of myelin, meninges, roots of spinal cord. Treatment: Critical early diagnosis, IV gancyclovir, (if exp to gancylovir) add foscarnet, (50% respond, CI1995) CMV encephalitis lesions Pathologic lesions associated with cytomegalovirus encephalitis See images in: Arribas et al, Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis, Annals of Internal Medicine, 1996, Vol 125, Issue 7 CMV: Encephalitis The microglial form: first described in renal transplant patient. Several glial nodules predominantly in grey matter. CMV: Ventriculoencephalitis Clinical: Can have abrupt presentation of confusion, apathy, impaired memory, withdrawal, nystagmus, motor weakness, cranial nerve deficits, ataxia, seizures, coma. Can rapidly progress. Labs: CSF: Monocytic Pleocytosis, Low Glucose CMV PCR Positive in CSF: (Sensitivity, Specifity 80, 90%, PPV, NPV, 86-92, 9598%) Serum CMV viremia MRI: Subependymal enhancement, diffuse hyperintense T2WI, ventriculomegaly. MRI of CMV patient Magnetic resonance images of a patient with cytomegalovirus ventriculitis Ependymal enhancement after injection of gadoliniumDPTA seen on coronal T1-weighted image. Highly abnormal ependmal signal on proton densityweighted image of the brain in axial section. See images in: Arribas et al, Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis, Annals of Internal Medicine, 1996, Vol 125, Issue 7 CMV Encephalitis in Transplant Patients Miller et al, 2005, reviewed 4 prior documented cases (+one probable case) with new case of CNS infection in Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant Patients. 3 of 4 documented cases clinically had evidence of ventriculoencephalitis. Rapid progression of cognitive dysfunction, confusion. CMV Encephalitis in Transplant Patients 2 of patients including their case report had high CSF viral loads (ex > one million) with relatively low viremia, 2K range 4 of 5 had CSF DNA genotypes performed. One had UL97 (gancyclovir R) and one had UL54 (R to gancylovir and cidofovir) Despite failing antiviral therapy, 2 of patients had no resistance mutations in DNA derived from CSF.

CMV Encephalitis: Treatment Appropriate treatment is not defined Anduze-Faries,et al (2000) published nonblinded pilot, multicenter study with HIV infected patients with myelitis (14), encephalitis (17) of patients who received gancyclovir 5mg/kg iv bid, foscarnet 90mg/kg bid for median of 41 days followed by maintenance therapy with once daily gancyclovir and foscarnet. CMV Encephalitis: Treatment 23 (74%) showed clinical improvement or stabilization, 8 did not respond. Median survival for all of the patients was 3 months. Many experts recommend dual gancyclovir, foscarnet bid, followed by lifelong once daily dose of combination therapy CMV Encephalitis: Treatment Other drugs: Cidofovir (cytosine analog with probenecid Leflunomide: assembly interferes with late stage viral References: Arribas et al, Cytomegalovirus Encephalitis, Annals of Internal Medicine, 1996, Vol 125, Issue 7 Boivin, Guy.
