CHLAMYDIAL INFECTION
129
Chlamydophila pneumoniae
130
ETIOLOGY obligate intracellular pathogens
established a unique niche in host cells gram-negative envelope without detectable peptidoglycan share a group-specific lipopolysaccharide antigen use host ATP for the synthesis of chlamydial proteins encode an abundant surface exposed protein called the major outer membrane protein (MOMP, or OmpA) The most significant human pathogens are: C. pneumoniae ; C. trachomatis ; C. psittaci C. psittaci is the cause of psittacosis, an important zoonosis The MOMP is the major determinant of the serologic classification of C. trachomatis and C. psittaci isolates.
131
Clinical Manifestations
classic atypical (or nonbacterial) pneumonia characterized by mild to moderate constitutional symptoms, including fever, malaise, headache, cough, pharyngitis Asymptomatic respiratory infection has been documented in 2-5% of adults and children and can persist for ≥1 yr cannot be readily differentiated from those caused by other respiratory pathogens, especially M. pneumoniae.
132
Diagnosis Auscultation: rales,wheezing Chest radiograph:
appears worse than the patient's clinical status mild, diffuse involvement or lobar infiltrates with small pleural effusions. CBC: may be elevated with a left shift but is usually unremarkable Specific diagnosis: isolation of the organism in tissue culture grows best in cycloheximide-treated HEp-2 and HL cells optimum site for culture is the posterior nasopharynx
133
Treatment effective for eradication of C. pneumoniae from the nasopharynx of children with pneumonia in approximately 80% of cases erythromycin (40 mg/kg/day PO divided twice a day for 10 days), clarithromycin (15 mg/kg/day PO divided twice a day for 10 days), and azithromycin (10 mg/kg PO on day 1, and then 5 mg/kg/day PO on days 2-5) Tetracyclines, erythromycin, the macrolides (azithromycin and clarithromycin), and quinolones show in vitro activity. The ketolides also have promising in vitro activity. Like C. psittaci, C. pneumoniae is resistant to sulfonamides
134
Chlamydia Trachomatis
Genital Tract Infections
135
Etiology C. trachomatis is a major cause of epididymitis and is the cause of 23-55% of all cases of nongonococcal urethritis, 50% of men with gonorrhea may be co-infected with C. trachomatis prevalence of chlamydial cervicitis among sexually active women is 2-35% Rates of infection among girls 15-19 yr of age exceed 20% in many urban populations but can be as high as 15% in suburban populations as well Children who have been sexually abused can acquire anogenital C. trachomatis infection, which is usually asymptomatic. Culture is the only method that should be used for diagnosis of C. trachomatis from these sites when a prepubertal child is being tested for suspected sexual abuse. However, because perinatally acquired rectal and vaginal C. trachomatis infections can persist for ≥3 years, the detection of C. trachomatis in the vagina or rectum of a young child is not absolute evidence of sexual abuse.
136
Clinical Manifestations
Up to 75% of women asymptomatic discharge that is usually mucoid rather than purulent can cause urethritis (acute urethral syndrome), epididymitis, cervicitis, salpingitis, proctitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease Asymptomatic urethral infection is common in sexually active men. Autoinoculation from the genital tract to the eyes can lead to conjunctivitis The symptoms of chlamydial genital tract infections are less acute than those of gonorrhea,
137
Diagnosis Definitive diagnosis: isolation of the organism in tissue culture and as confirmation of the characteristic intracytoplasmic inclusions by fluorescent antibody staining C. trachomatis can be cultured in cycloheximide-treated HeLa, McCoy, and HEp-2 cells.
138
Treatment uncomplicated C. trachomatis genital infection in men and nonpregnant women azithromycin (1 g PO as a single dose) doxycycline (100 mg PO twice a day for 7 days) erythromycin base (500 mg PO 4 times a day for 7 days), erythromycin ethylsuccinate (800 mg PO 4 times a day for 7 days), ofloxacin (300 mg PO twice a day for 7 days), levofloxacin (500 mg PO once daily for 7 days). The high erythromycin dosages might not be well tolerated. Doxycycline and quinolones are contraindicated in pregnant women, and quinolones are contraindicated in persons younger than 18 yr.
139
Treatment For pregnant women
erythromycin base (500 mg PO twice a day for 7 days) amoxicillin (500 mg PO 3 times a day for 7 days) erythromycin base (250 mg PO 4 times a day for 14 days), erythromycin ethylsuccinate (800 mg PO 4 times a day for 7 days or 400 mg PO 4 times a day for 14 days), azithromycin (1 g PO in a single dose) Amoxicillin at a dosage of 500 mg PO 3 times a day for 7 days is as effective as any of the erythromycin regimens
140
Treatment Empirical treatment
only for patients at high risk for infection who are unlikely to return for follow-up evaluation, including adolescents with multiple sex partners treated empirically for both C. trachomatis and gonorrhea Sex partners of patients with nongonococcal urethritis should be treated Especially if they have had sexual contact with the patient during the 60 days preceding the onset of symptoms The most recent sexual partner should be treated even if the last sexual contact was more than 60 days from onset of symptoms
141
Complications perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome) and salpingitis up to 40% will have significant sequelae: 17% will suffer from chronic pelvic pain, 17% will become infertile 9% will have an ectopic (tubal) pregnancy Adolescent girls at higher risk for complications: tubal scarring, subsequent obstruction with secondary infertility, increased risk for ectopic pregnancy
142
Complications 50% of neonates born to pregnant women with untreated chlamydial infection will acquire C. trachomatis infection Women with C. trachomatis infection have a 3-5-fold increased risk for acquiring HIV infection
143
Prevention Timely treatment
Sex partners should be evaluated and treated if they had sexual contact during the 60 days preceding onset of symptoms in the patient The most recent sex partner should be treated even if the last sexual contact was >60 days
144
Complications Patients and partners:
abstain from sexual intercourse until 7 days after a single- dose regimen or after completion of a 7-day regimen Annual routine screening for C. trachomatis for sexually active female adolescents, women years of age, older women with risk factors such as new or multiple partners or inconsistent use of barrier contraceptives Sexual risk assessment might indicate more frequent screening of some women.

146
Epidemiology 5-30% of pregnant women
50% risk for vertical transmission at parturition to newborn infants infected at 1 or more sites, (conjunctivae, nasopharynx, rectum, and vagina) Transmission is rare following cesarean section with intact membranes systematic prenatal screening and treatment of pregnant women decreased the incidence However, in countries where prenatal screening is not done, such as the Netherlands, C. trachomatis remains an important cause of neonatal infection, accounting for >60% of neonatal conjunctivitis.
147
Inclusion Conjunctivitis
30-50% of infants born to mothers with active, untreated chlamydial infection develop 5-14 days after delivery, from mild conjunctival injection with scant mucoid discharge to severe conjunctivitis with copious purulent discharge, chemosis, pseudomembrane formation conjunctiva may be very friable and miight bleed when stroked with a swab 50% of infants with chlamydial conjunctivitis also have nasopharyngeal infection Chlamydial conjunctivitis must be differentiated from gonococcal ophthalmia, which is sight threatening.
148
Pneumonia 10-20% of infants born to women with active, untreated chlamydial infection 25% of infants with nasopharyngeal chlamydial infection develop pneumonia Onset:1 and 3 mo of age Presentation: insidious, with persistent cough, tachypnea, and absence of fever Auscultation: rales Laboratory finding: peripheral eosinophilia (>400 cells/mm3) Chest radiograph: hyperinflation accompanied by minimal interstitial or alveolar infiltrates. The absence of fever and wheezing helps to distinguish C. trachomatis pneumonia from respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia.
149
Diagnosis Definitive diagnosis: isolation of C. trachomatis in cultures of specimens obtained from the conjunctiva or nasopharynx. Nonculture methods including direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) sensitivities of ≥90% and specificities of ≥95% for conjunctival specimens compared with culture. Accuracy for nasopharyngeal specimens is not as good.

Treatment: C. trachomatis conjunctivitis or pneumonia in infants
erythromycin (base or ethylsuccinate, 50 mg/kg/day divided 4 times a day PO for 14 days). results of 1 small study: short course of azithromycin (20 mg/kg/day once daily PO for 3 days) is as effective as 14 days of erythromycin. An association between treatment with oral erythromycin and infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis has been reported in infants <6 wk of age who were given the drug for prophylaxis after nursery exposure to pertussis The rationale for using oral therapy for conjunctivitis is that 50% or more of these infants have concomitant nasopharyngeal infection or disease at other sites, and studies have demonstrated that to The failure rate with oral erythromycin remains 10-20%, and some infants require a 2nd course of treatment. pical therapy with sulfonamide drops and erythromycin ointment is not effective.
151
Prevention screening and treatment of pregnant women
Reasons for failure of maternal treatment: poor compliance re-infection from an untreated sexual partner Neonatal gonococcal prophylaxis with topical erythromycin or tetracycline ointment, or silver nitrate, does not appear to prevent chlamydial ophthalmia or nasopharyngeal colonization with C. trachomatis or chlamydial pneumonia.
