The target audience for Infections in Immunocompromised Patients is board-certified infectious diseases pharmacists who provide care for individuals with or at risk for infectious diseases. Infections in Immunocompromised Patients contains five learning modules with a total available 21.0 continuing pharmacy education (CPE) credits. Book content was developed under the leadership of Faculty Panel Chair Daniel B. Chastain, Pharm.D., BCIDP, AAHIVP.
The first module offers updates on HIV pharmacotherapy, highlighting the significance of integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI)-based regimens. It also explores the unique challenges of managing HIV in select populations, providing practical considerations for clinicians. The second module explores the intricate interplay between innate and acquired immunodeficiencies and their impact on susceptibility to infections. It explores the risk of infections in patients receiving biologic response modifiers for autoimmune inflammatory diseases, offering insights into preventive strategies and management considerations. The third module focuses on vaccination considerations for patients at high risk of infection and the complexities of antimicrobial management in cystic fibrosis. Finally, the fourth and fifth modules consist of case series covering diverse topics, including the prevention of HIV, secondary bacterial and fungal infections associated with viral pneumonitis, infections in individuals on glucocorticoids, and infections in pregnant individuals. Overall, this resource offers valuable insights into the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infections across diverse patient populations with immune deficiencies.
Each IDSAP release has continuing education activities that cover the most recent published data (past 3-5 years) on a specific therapeutic area or patient-care problem.
