Description

There are few opportunities for persons in primary care to get up-to-date first-rate education about Infectious Diseases (ID) issues, yet ID represents an enormous proportion of clinical care visits. This activity focuses on practical problems seen in the Primary Care Practitioner (PCP) setting. This year our major topics will be: managing skin and soft tissue infections including MRSA, update on tick-borne infections and Lyme disease, Hepatitis C and HIV in the PCP setting, update in sexually transmitted diseases, vaccinations for adults, the warning signs for infection in patients on immunosuppression and TNF-alpha inhibitors, and managing antibiotics in patients with reported penicillin allergy.

Objectives

After attending this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:

  • Describe the new drugs and strategies for the treatment of hepatitis C infection and when to refer to a specialist for management
  • Implement in practice the adult vaccine strategies proposed by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices
  • Manage diabetic foot ulcers, and differentiate between superficial and deep (bone) infections, and develop management strategies
  • Describe the epidemiology of staphylococcal soft tissue and systemic infections, including MRSA
  • Implement diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to management of various infections
  • Recognize infectious diseases risk in patients seen in community practice who are non-HIV immunosuppressed because of cancer treatment or pharmacological therapy.
