  10. Urinalysis • Specific Gravity: 1.015 • pH: 7.0 • Protein: * 30 mg/dL • Glucose: NEGATIVE • Ketones: Negative • Bilirubin: Negative • Blood: Small • Urobilinogen: 1.0 • Leukocytes: Negative • Nitrite: Negative

  11. Liver FUNction Tests • Alkaline Phosphatase • Total Protein • Albumin • Bilirubin, total • AST • ALT

  12. Coagulation Profile • PT 14.7 • INR 1.14 • PTT 36.4

  13. Urine Drug Screen • UDS • Amphetamines negative • Barbiturates negative • Cocaine positive • Opiates positive • PCP negative • Benzodiazepines negative

  14. Lumbar Puncture Cell Count: Color: colorless Clarity: clear RBC: 7 WBC: 8 PMNs: 11 Lymphocytes: 73 Monocytes: 76 Culture: no grown to date

  15. Cultures: Sputum Fungal Culture: - KOH prep: no fungi seen • Culture: No fungus isolated after 3 weeks Sputum Culture: • 2+ polys, 1+ monos, 3+ epis • 1+ G+ Cocci in clusters, 3+ G+ cocci in chains, 3+ G+ Rods, 1+ G- diplococci • Cancelled: excessive oral contamination Blood Cultures: No Growth to Date x 2 Fungal Blood Cultures: No Growth to Date x 2

  16. HIV 1&2 negative

  17. CT Head w/o contrast: No evidence of mass, shift or bleed. Stable size of ventricles compared to 1/21/2011 exam.

  18. Hospital Course: In ED, LP was performed but no fluid was able to be aspirated into syringe. Omayaresivoir was tapped by NSG w/ only 2cc of clear fluid collected. Pt was given cefepime 2gm IV q8º, Vancomycin 1gm IV q12º, fluconazole 400mg IV q24º. ID was consulted. Nausea and Vomitting resolved, Headache improved by second day. However, pt continued to complain of productive cough and to spike occasional fevers.

  19. Infectious Disease Recommendations: Patient reports having run out of daily fluconazole. No e/o superimposed meningitis on top of chronic coccidiodes infection based on history, exam and LP results. Pt likely with R lower lobe PNA with small effusion likely also cocci associated infection vs less likely community acquired PNA. Recommend increasing fluconazole to 400mg po BID and discontinuing all other antibiotics. Recommend R lateral decubitisfilm.

  20. AFBs and PPD PPD: 8/13 negative AFBs: 8/18: 2+ AF Bacilli 8/23: 3+ AF Bacilli Culture:There is high probability that this isolate is M. Tuberculosis

  21. Hospital Course Continued The patient was started on treatment for Tb. Although he remained asymptomatic, his liver enzymes underwent a fivefold increase for which his fluconazole was changed to amphotericin and his pyrazinamide was switched for levaquin. After approximately 1 week of treatment, the patient eloped during a smoke break.
