ABSTRACT We present the case of a patient who was unable to tolerate rapid drug desensitization protocol to receive a continuous penicillin (PCN) G infusion for the treatment of neurosyphilis. A 38-year-old male with past medical history for human immunodeficiency virus, migraines, PCN allergy, doxycycline allergy, shellfish allergy, and untreated latent syphilis presented to the emergency room for a posterior migraine with associated nausea, vomiting, photophobia, right-sided paresthesias, and “shaky” vision. He was diagnosed with neurosyphilis and underwent rapid drug desensitization with the goal to receive a continuous infusion of PCN G. The patient’s hospital course was complicated by intermittent drug reactions consisting of tachycardia, rash, and dyspnea, followed by periods of being able to tolerate the infusion. After being able to tolerate the recommended dose of PCN infusion, the patient was discharged home to complete the course. However, he returned almost immediately after a recurrence of symptoms at home requiring the use of intramuscular epinephrine. Ultimately, the patient was transitioned to ceftriaxone and completed the infusion course as an inpatient because of continued intermittent recurrence of drug reaction symptoms.

AbstractThe frequency of hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) I/II was determined in the emergency room of a teaching hospital. Of 909 patients, 19% had at least one infection; 7.8% had HCV, 6.9% HBV, 3.3% HIV, and 2.8% HTLV I/II. The probability that a healthcare worker would have an accident with an infected patient and seroconvert was 4.99 to 24.9 per 100,000 venipunctures for HBV, 5.6 to 8.4 for HCV, and 0.12-0.16 for HIV in our emergency room.
