           ; Dx. by Hx. & P/Ex. with or without laboratory tests

    2) fever without localizing signs

           ; Hx.나 P/Ex.에 의해서는 진단하지 않고, laboratory test에 의해 Dx.

    3) FUO

# Thermoregulation

    1) hypothalamic thermoregulatory center controls BT

        ; peripheral cold & warm neuronal receptor의 balancing signal에 의해 control 됨.

    2) another regulatory factor

           ; temperature of blood circulating in the hypothalamus

    3) normal core temperature

           ; 37℃ (±1~1.5℃)로 set point 되어 있음.

        ; axillary temperature - core temperature 보다 1℃ 정도 낮다. (by cutaneous vasoconstriction)

        ; *circardian rhythm - low at early morning, highest at 4:00~6:00 P.M.

# Heat generation & heat conservation

    ; balanced against heat loss

    1) heat generation

           ; cell metabolism↑, cell activity↑, involuntary shivering↑

    2) heat conservation

           ; vasoconstriction, heat preference behavior

    3) heat loss

           ; obligate heat loss. (evaporation-radiation-convection-conducton)

           ; vasodilation, sweating, cold preferance behavior

# Cause of fever

Antibody-Based Techniques

# ★clinical use of FA (fluorescent antibody)

    ; B. pertussis

    ; Legionella pneumophilia

    ; N. gonorrhea

    --> conjugated Ab

# M. Tuberculosis

    ; *no antibody used

       - inoculation 18~24hr 후에 zone of inhibition of bacterial growth 측정

# MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration)

    ; organism에 대한 특정한 antibiotics의 bacteriostatic concentration

# MBC (minimal bactericidal concentration)

  ; bacteria의 99.9%를 죽일 수 있는 antibiotics의 lowest concentration 즉 bactericidal end point

# it is important to measured conc. of drug needed to kill bacteria

♣DNA probes

    ; Mycoplasma pneumonia, M. tuberculosis, M. aviumintracellulare, enteric organism

Laboratory Dx. Of Viruses

Rapid Viral Detection

1) smears of mucosal cell stained by immunologic reagents

        - identity the Ag of resp. virus ( RS virus, influenza )

2) ELISA

    ; specific antiserum 이용

    ; *rota virus infection (infantile gastroenteritis), Hepatitis B surface Ag detect

Isolation

1) urine culture   

    ; ※89객 most useful for isolation of CMV

    ; *good source of isolation of mumps. adenovirus

2) specimen should be transported at 4℃

3) best throat specimen

       taken by vigorous throat swabbing, removing some superficial cells

4) ※객 vesicular fluid의 culture가 필요한 경우

2) electron microscopy ( EM )

        : direct visualization of virions within infected cells

Serologic Test

# Speciemen

    ; *적어도 2개의 blood specimen 필요

           - early acute phase (acute serum) & later 14-21 days (convalescent serum)

    ; *2nd specimen이 earlier than 14 days이면 3rd blood specimen 4~6wks later

# Etiologic Dx titer

    ; acute phase serum에서 보다 convalescent serum에서 4배 이상 ↑해야 한다.

# ㉿Single specimen이 Dx.을 support하는 경우

    1) E-B Ab

    2) Young infant에서의 Ab가 mother에 없는 경우

    3) infant가 커감에 따라서 infant와 mother에서 Ab level이 동일시

  4) Mumps 의심時 presence of Ab to the soluble (s) fraction of the mumps virus in the acute serum, when Ab to viral [V] Ag may be absent or very low

    ; Acute infection시 IgM viral specific Ab

    ; general population과 비교하여 high Ab level

# methods for Ig M Ab detection

    ; diffcult to standardize

  → F (+) result가 common

  Ig G Ab assay : viral pathogen → induce humoral immunity (primary inf.후 수년 지속)

                                → useful for established immune status

Method for Detecting Ab

# *CF Ab : useful in recent inf. but less useful in past inf.

# Neutralizing Ab

    ; remain for life, early Ds.에 serum 얻게 되면 Ab rise difficult

    - Neutralization test : c/s에서보다 disadvantage

# HI Ab

    ; correlate fairly well with neutralizing ab.

    ; erythrocyte agglutination (+) viurs

           - *myxovirus, rubella, some enterovirus

    ; ★useful test for Parainfluenzae virus Ab

# fluorescent Ab detected by indirect fluorescent technique

# ★ELISA & latex agglutination test

  ; *now most used

  ; viral Ag 이 plastic well or to latex beads에 attach되어 검사됨.

Chapter 169. Infections Of The Central Nervous System

# CNS의 acute infection은 children에서 CNS ds 의 Sx, Sg을 동반한 fever의 mc cause이다.

# 일반적으로 CNS infection은 viral이 bacterial보다 more common

# etiology에 관계없이 acute CNS infection을 가진 환자는 similar syndrome을 가진다. ;

  ( infortunately, most of these Sx are quite non-specific )

# common sx : headache, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, restlessness, irritability

  common sg : fever, photophobia, neck pain, rigidity, obtundation, stupor, coma, seizure, focal neurologic deficity

# sign의 severity와 constellation은 specific pathogen, host,  infection의 anatomic distribution에 의해 정해짐

# diffuse CNS infection

  +- Menigitis : meninges

  +- encephalitis : brain parenchymal involvement

  ; 많은 환자에서 anatomic barrier가 not distinct하기 때문에 meningeal, parenchymal involvement소견을 보이면 meningoencephalitis를 꼭 생각해 주어야 한다.

# Brain absess :  best examples of  a focal infection of the CNS

               : neurological expression는 absess의 site와 extent에 의해 결정

# diffuse CNS infection Dx : careful examination of CSF obtained by lumbar punture

Pathology

# vascular and parenchymal cerebral change가 PMN의 small arteriole, vein의 subintimal region으로의 infiltration에 의해 나타나고 vasospasm, vasculitis, thrombosis of small cortical necrosis, occlusion of major venous sinuses, necrotizing arteritis producing subarachnoid hemorrhage, rarely cerebral cortical necrosis가 autopy에서  identifiable thrombosis없이 나타난다.

# cerebral infarction이 vascular occlusion의 sequelae로 나타난다.

# spinal n. root infiltration → meningitis sign

# cranial n. infiltraion → optic, oculomotor, facial, auditory n.에 cranial neuropathy  

# cranial N.의 장애 by IICP

① oculomotor N. palsy ; tentorial herniation 동안 temporal lobe compression에 기인

② abducence N. palsy ; nonlocalized sign of IICP

③ Ⅲ-Ⅵ N. palsy ; by septic carvernous sinus thrombosis

# IICP mechanism

    ; cell death (cytotoxic cbr. edema)

    ; cytokine-induced increased capillary vascular permeability (vasogenic cbr. edema)

    ; increased hydrostatic pressure (interstitial cbr. edema)

    ; following obstructed reabsorption of CSF in the arachnoid villus or obstruction of the flow of fluid within or exiting from the ventricle.

    ; SIADH (excessive water retention → IICP↑)

    ; brain extracellular space의 hypotonicity

           --> cell swelling and lysis

           --> cytotoxic edema

# ICP가 종종 300cmH₂0까지 오르는 경우도 있고, reduced cerebral blood flow --> cbr. perfusion pr. (mean arterial-intracranial pr.)가＜50cmH₂0이면 cbr. perfusion이 futher compromised.

# herniation도 meningitis 환아의 약 5%

    ; suggest

           a. marked IICP

           b. cerebral absess

           c. subdural empyema

# neonatal period 지난 후에는 hydrocephalus는 meningitis의 uncommon acute complication이다.

# tentorial, falx, cerebellar herniation : rare

# 때때로 brain base에서 cistern주위의 arachnoid villi의 adhersive thickening에 의해 communicating hydrocephalus가 일어날 수 있다. ---> CSF normal resorption을 interfere.

# less often, foramina magendie, Luschka, aqueduct of Sylvias의 fibrosis and gliosis에 의해 obstructive hydrocephalus가 developed된다.

# raised CSF protein의 원인

    ① BBB의 vascular permeability 증가

    ② capillary or vein에서 subdural space로 albumin rich fluid의 loss.

           ; subdural effusion이 궁극적으로 올 수 있다.( late phase에 온다 )

# ♣Hypoglycorrhachia의 원인 (Reduced CSF Glucose Level)

    ; decreased glucose transport by cerebral tissue

  ; latter may produce a local lactic acidosis

# ♥Mechanism of Cbr cortex damage

    ; focal or diffuse effect of vascular occlusion(infarction, necrosis)

    ; hypoxia

    ; bacterial invasion (cerebritis)

    ; toxic encephalopathy (lactic acidosis)

    ; IICP

    ; ventriculitis

    ; transudation (subdural effusion)

--> impaired consciousness, seizure, hydrocephalus, cranial n. deficits, motor and sensory deficits, and later psychomotor retardation

Pathogenesis

; hematogeneous dissemination from distant site of infection

    - *▲common

    - usually precedes or concomitant bacteremia

    - nasopharynx의 bacterial colonization이 usual sourse.

; H. influenza type b와 meningocci

    - epihterial cell에 attach → circulaton

; N. meningitis

    - phagocytic vacule → epitherial cell 에 ingestion

; entry to CSF

    - lateral ventricle의 choroid plexus를 통해

           --> extracerebral CSF와subarachnoid space

           --> rapidly multiply ( ∵ complement와 Ab의 CSF concentration이 bacterial proliferation을 억제하기에는 inadequate )

; gram(-) bact. cell wall lipopolysaccharide (endotoxin) & pneumococcal cell wall component (teicholic acid, peptidoglycan)이 marked inflamm. response를 stimulation by production of

           ① TNF

           ② interleukin I

           ③ PGE2

           ④ cytokine inflammatory mediators

; subsequent inflammatory response

    → neutrophilic infiltration, increased vascular permeability, alteration of the BBB, vascular thrombosis

; excessive cytokine-induced inflammation은 CSF가 sterilized된 후에도 계속되고 이들은 pyogenic meningitis의 chronic inflammatory sequelae에 부분적으로 반영.

; infection의 contiguous focus로부터 bacterial invasion에 의한 menigitis는 rare

  - paranasal sinusitis, OM, mastoiditis, orbital cellulitis ...

; occur during endocarditis, pneuminia, thrombophlebitis

; associated with severe burns, indwelling cathers or contaminated equipment

; arbovirus, herpes virus ( common )

; Mumps ( vaccine이 사용되지않는 지역에서 common )

Epidemiology

; 대부분이 enterovirus에 의해 야기되므로 basic epidermiologic pattern은 prevalence를 반영한다

; person to person spread

; IP : 4 ∼ 6 days

; most case in temperate climates occur in the summer and fall.

Common Pathogen

1) arbovirus

    ; infected accidentally by an arthropod vector mosquito or tic (varemia)

    ; insect vector

2) enterovirus

    ; small RNA containing virus

    ; aseptic meningitis - severe encephaltis, death

  ; epidermics - newborns in nurseries

3) herpesvirus

    a. hespes simplex type 1 & 2

           ; HSV-1

                   - severe, sporadic encephalites in children, adult

               - brain involvement : focal

               - antiviral Tx(-) ; 70 % 에서 coma, death

           ; HSV-2

                   - neonate ; diffuse brain involvement를 가진 severe encephalitis

                - delivery시 mother로 부터 virus

    e. respiratory virus, Rubella, Rubeolar에 의해서도 meningoencephalitis야기

    f. Mumps meningoencephalitis : mild하지만 드물게 8번 CN에 damage를 주어 deafness 야기

Pathogenesis And Pathology

1) ingestion of enterovirus → lymphatics(multiplication) → mosquito or insect bite

         → to blood stream(seeding) : hematogenous spread

         → several organ infection(further viral multiplication)

         → secondary propagation of large amounts of virus

         → CNS invasion

         → neurologic disease evidence (+)

2) neurologic damage is caused

    a. direct invasion and destruction of neural tissue

                 by actively multiplying virus. : direct neural destruction

    b. viral Ag에 대한 host reaction

                : demyelinization, vascular and perivascular destruction

              ← host's vigorous tissue response가 induced

               : 대부분의 neural destruction은 아마 direct viral invasion에 의해 야기 

 3) brain tissue secretion

     <-- meningeal congestion and mononuclear infilteration, perivascular cuffs of lymphocytes and plasma cell myelobreakdown 을 가진  perivascular tissue necrosis

       various stage에서 neuronal disruption ---> neuronophagia, endothelial proliperation, necrosis.

4) marked demyelinization ＋ preservation of nurons & their axon

    "postinfections" or "allergic" encephalitis

5) cbr cortex

    a. Temporal lobe : severely affected by Herpes virus (intranuclear inclusion bodies)

    b. entire brain : Arbovirus

    c. basal structure : Rabies (Negri bodies)

  d. spiral cord, nerve roots, peripheala nerve : vaiable

Clinical Manifestation

    ① color : clear

    ② leukocyte : 0 - several thousand

    ③ cell type : PMNL (initial) → Monocyte ( 8 ∼ 12 hr 후 )

    ④ protein : N to slight↑ → brain destruction이 extensive하면 high : HSV encephalitis의 late stage 에.

⑤ glucose : N

         ( Mumps 등 일부에서는 substantial depression of CSF glucose concentration )

2) serum specimen는 illness의 early에 얻어져야 하고 viral culture가

  not diagnotic하다면 2-3wks후에 다시 serologic study를 해야한다

       a. monotherapy

         . ceftazidine, cefoperazone, or imipenem/cilastatin

         . 그후 S. epidermidis 나타날 경우

            : vancomycin 첨가

         . monotherapy는 mild neutropenia(500-1,000 neutrophil)경우이면서 S. epidermidis가 pathogen이라

          생각 되지 않을때 사용

       b. double beta-lactam therapy

         1. extended G(-) spectrum carboxy- or ureido-penicillin

             (ticarcillin with or without clavulanic acid, mezlocillin, piperacillin)

            and a cephalosporin

             (ceftazidine, cefoperazone, cefotaxime, ceftriaxone)

             - disadvantage

                . selection of resistant bacteria

                . possible antibiotic antagonism

                . poor antistaphylococcal coverage

         2. anti-pseudomonas beta-lactam penicillin or cephalosporin

              + aminoglycoside(gentamicin, tobramycin, amikacin)

            - most beneficial in a risk of serious staphylococcal, enterococcal

               or bacterial multiple-resistant inf.

 

     (2) Duration and modification of antimicrobial therapy

        1) antibiotic Tx 72시간 후 afebrile 해지고, bacterial source 가 identify되는 경우

           - Tx. should be modified based on the antibiotic sensitivity

           - 그러나 spectrum이 너무 좁아지면 bacteremia가 나타날 risk가 높기 때문에 broad spectrum

               antibiotic 를 계속 사용해야 한다.

        2) antibiotic Tx는 response가 좋은 (afebrile, negative repeat culture,

           free of signs and symptoms of inf.) pt.에서 적어도 7일간 사용

        3) antibiotics가 stop된후 neutrophil count는 500을 넘어야 한다.

 

        4) high risk pt.

            - profound neutropenia, mucositis

            - signs of persistent inf.

            - central line tract inf.

            - bleeding

            - impending invasive procedure or chemotherapy

          경우 neutrophil count가 500이상 될 때 까지 antibiotics를 계속 사용하는 것이 benefit하다.

        5) 어떤 clinicians은 defervescence or clinical well-being에 상관없이 fever와

            neutropenia가 있는 모든 환자는 neutrophil count가 500이상 될때까지

            antibiotics를 계속 사용하여야 한다고 권고한다.

        6) febrile despite broad-spectrum antibiotic Tx and no pathogen is identified

            - reassess the patient's condition

          # etiology of persistent fever

              a. nonbacterial pathogen

                 : candida, aspergillus, toxoplasma, herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, 

                   Epstein-Barr virus, enterovirus

              b. emergence of a second resistant species of bacteria

              c. inadequate serum or tissue antibiotics levels

              d. drug fever

              e. deep tissue (abscess) or catheter inf.

              f. fever resulting from the underlying malig.

 

        7) if no identified cause of fever is evident, the fever and neutropenia remains after 5-7days

              of antibiotics therapy,

            there is no progression or deterioration in the patient's condition and the patient appears

              clinically well.

            - the original antibiotics may be continued

        8) ill하여 보이거나 inf.의 manifestation이 progress할 경우

            - vancomycin or 3rd generation cephalosporin을 첨가

           (initial empiric regimen에 들어있지 않은 경우)

        9) antibiotics를 modification하였는데도 불구하고 neutropenic하면서 7일 간 febrile한경우

            1. intravenous amphotericin B를 start함

               (33%에서 invasive fungal ds. 가짐)

            2. amphotericin B를 initiation 하기 전 invasive candidiasis, aspergillosis, or mucormycosis의 

               source를 결정하기 위해 행하여야 할 evaluation

                - biopsy of lesion

                - several bl. and urine culture

                - chest and sinus roentgenograms repeated

                - abd. CT : to identify hepatic or splenic microabscess

                - opthalmologic examination

                     : to identify candidal ophthalmitis

           3. daily for 2wks (fungal inf.이 identify 안된 경우)

                - 그 후 stop하여 환자 condition 을 re-evaluate

           4. documented fungal inf. 경우

                - prolonged amphotericin B and aspiration or incision and drainage of cutaneous lesion

                   or deep abscess

           5. side effect : nephrotoxicity
