often produced by the Herpesviridae family (i.e., herpes simplex, varicella zoster virus, and cytomega­lovirus). The clinical presentation of these infections is typically an acute, vesiculobullous lesion with a lack of inflammatory response in leukopenic patients. If not treated aggressively with antiviral agents,

possible systemic morbidity.
Among fungal infections, Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen, but others
such as Aspergillus and Cryptococcus are commonly encountered. The more aggressive fungi show an invasive behavior that often involves deeper tissues. Patients should be monitored carefully for signs of local tissue trauma that may predispose them to viral or fungal colonization.
15. What are the characteristics of bacterial oral infections in immunocompromised patients?
Oral infections in immunocompromised patients typically occur with significant local symptoms and
may spread to involve adjacent or distant anatomic sites. These infections tend to progress more rapidly and may produce systemic symptoms or local osteomyelitis. Infections may be caused by gram-negative enteric flora secondary to colonization of these organisms in the oral cavity. These bac­teria are often resistant to penicillin and cephalosporins. Broad-spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis should be used empirically before definitive identification of the causative microorganism in immunocompro­mised patients with evidence of infection.
16. What are the general principles of the preoperative evaluation of immunocompro­mised patients?
Immunosuppression is not in itself a contraindication to well-planned surgery. The general approach
to the care of these patients when they are to undergo surgery is to increase host resistance to infection and to maximize wound healing. The patient’s immune status should be evaluated by means of a history, physical exam, and lab studies. The history should include questions about the patient’s underlying disease, previous infections, use of medications and other therapy, previous anesthesia, and trauma. The physical exam should also determine the patient’s nutritional status and include a search for signs of existing infection and lymphadenopathy.
High-risk patients should have elective procedures scheduled at the beginning of the day. The possibility of reducing the dosages of immunosuppressive drugs must be weighed against the effect this might have on the reason why the patient is being treated with these agents. Other consid­erations include the removal of any infected foreign bodies; assessment of the need of invasive devices; restoration of cardiac and renal function, including tissue perfusion; correction of nutritional deficiencies, if present; assessment of the patient’s need for vaccinations; and administration of prophylactic antibiotics. Also, regardless of the etiology, hemostasis should be achieved with
pressure,packing,orsuturing,andiftheplateletcountisbelow50,000/mm3, platelet transfu-
sion should be considered. In the case of dental extractions, alveolectomy and primary closure are
recommended.Ifplateletcountsare<40,000/mm3,plateletsshouldbetransfused30minutesbefore surgerytoachieveplateletlevelsofmorethan40,000/mm3. One unit (pack) of platelets typically raisestheplateletcountby10,000/mm3. Although correcting the patient’s immunodeficiency is
usually difficult or impossible, defects in B-cell function may be partially treated by administering immunoglobulin.
17. What preoperative lab studies should be included in evaluation of immunocom­promised patients?

18. What are the effects of chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressant drugs on the immune system?
Theeffectsofthesedrugsvaryfromagenttoagent.Forexample,chemotherapeuticagentsdepress
the number and activity of the neutrophilic leukocytes (leukopenia). The nadir of white cell counts varies with the agents used but generally occurs 10-20 days after administration. The patient is
susceptibletoinfectionwhentheANCfallsbelow1500/mm3. The susceptibility increases significantly whenthecountfallsbelow500/mm3. Corticosteroids, on the other hand, decrease the leukocyte
response to inflamed tissue and depress T-cell function. Wound healing is slowed, and the ability to localize infection is reduced. Cyclosporine has almost no effect on the local inflammatory reaction but causes the initiation of interleukin-2 production and the suppression of T-helper and cytotoxic cells. Antilymphocyte antibodies appear to work by lysing target cells. With all these agents, increased dos­age is associated with increased predisposition to infection. These patients should receive prophylac­tic antibiotics before most surgical procedures.
19. When should prophylactic antibiotics be used in a chemotherapy patient?
Prophylacticantibioticsshouldbeconsideredifthegranulocytecountis<2000/mm3. Surgery gener-
allyshouldbeperformedatleast3daysbeforechemotherapyisinitiatedincancerpatientsbecause granulocytelevelsmayfallbelow500/mm3 one week after the initiation of many types of chemo-
therapeutic agents. When surgery needs to be performed during severe neutropenia (granulocyte
counts<500/mm3), it is recommended that the procedure be performed in a hospital setting with
broad-spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis administered during the perioperative period.
20. What type of virus is HIV, and what is its cell target?
Humanimmunodeciencyviruses(HIVs)areagroupofretrovirusesthatcanbeacquiredbythe

theCD4+lymphocytecountsconsiderably.Themosteffectiveantiretroviraltreatmentstrategies
are multiple drug therapies that combine nucleoside analogue drugs with protease inhibitors and, when patients are able to tolerate these regimens, triple drug therapy with two nucleoside analogue drugs plus a protease inhibitor.
25. What are the considerations in the surgical treatment of an HIV-infected person?
PatientswithearlyHIVinfectionandwithnoimmunologicimpairmentgenerallytolerateelectiveoral
surgical procedures well, and recent studies have demonstrated no increased incidence in infection, bleeding, or dry socket in extractions. In fact, routine prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated for these patients and may even further predispose them to candidiasis or drug reactions. In contrast,

undergo elective surgery. When urgent and emergency surgery is necessary, these patients should receive broad-spectrum prophylactic antibiotics before undergoing any surgical procedure, and proper attention to the prevention of wound infection must be given to prevent transmission of the virus to personnel caring for the patient.
26. What are the potential drug interactions in HIV-infected patients?
