EENT Infections Dr. Patamasucon September 2011
Conjunctivitis Neonatal • Chemical (silver nitrate) 1-2 days • Gonococcal 2-3 days • Chlamydia >5 days • HSV Varies
Neonatal Conjunctivitis Gonococcal Chlamydia trachomatis
Conjunctivitis • Neonatal prevention: • G.C. Silver nitrate or Penicillin • Chlamydia No effective drug • (Tetracycline, Erythromycin*, and Silver nitrate not effective) * One report of effectiveness in US but later disproved by the same author and other studies in Nairobi and Taiwan
Conjunctivitis Children • Bacterial • NT H.influ Most common • S.pneumo Common • G.C. Adolescents • Viral • Adenovirus Most common • Enterovirus 70 Epidemic hemorrhagic conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis • Treatment • Gonoccocal: • Single dose of ceftriaxone or cefotaxime • Copious amount of normal saline or sterile water • Chlamydia: • Erythromycin (PO): 40-50 mg/kg/day x 2 weeks • No topical Rx is needed • Adenovirus/Enterovirus: • Supportive care • HSV: • IV Acyclovir + topical Vidarabine
Periorbital and Orbital Cellulitis • Divided by the orbital septum • Predisposing factors: • Periorbital (preseptal): • Trauma, conjunctivitis, eyelid infection, dacryocystitis, acute sinusitis (esp. ethmoiditis), hematogenous seeding • Orbital (postseptal): • Acute ethmoiditis sinusitis orbital abscess • Hematogenous seeding, trauma

Sinusitis • Chronic Sinusitis Clinical Presentation: (> 4 months) • Congestion/ postnasal drip • Cough • Mouth breathing • Bad breath • Sore throat • Impaired sleep • Diagnosis: history, PE, with CT or MRI • Treatment: • Sinus aspiration for culture and sensitivity • Amoxicillin/Clavulanate • IV Oxacillin or Clindamycin + Ceftriaxone • Ampicillin/sulbactam (Unasyn)
Sinusitis • Sinusitis in a seriously ill patient with complications • Aspirate and Culture • Add coverage against S.aureus • Ceftriaxone and Vancomycin • Surgical drainage of sinuses may be necessary
Sinusitis • Treatment: • Acute bacterial sinusitis: • 40% is self limiting • Persistant/uncomplicated sinusitis: • High dose Amoxicillin 80-90mg/kg/day ÷ BID for 7 asymptomatic days • Severe sinusitis (not responsive to meds > 3 days): • High dose Amoxicillin/Clavulanate (PO) for 7 asymptomatic days • Alternative drugs: Cefdinir, cefuroxime, cefpodoxime • Ceftriaxone 50mg/kg/day

Otitis Media Definition of AOM A diagnosis of AOM requires 1) a history of acute onset of signs and symptoms 2) the presence of MEE*, and 3) signs and symptoms of middle-ear inflammation. MEE*: Buldging of tympanic membrane Limited or absent TM mobility Air fluid level behind TM Otorrhea
