Snapshot A 54-year-old man presents to her primary care physician for a worsening productive cough. His cough began approximately 2 months ago, and over the past week, he has been producing more yellow sputum. Medical history is significant for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He drinks occasionally and smokes 1-pack per day for the past 35 years. The patient is started on broad-spectrum antibiotics and receives 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) due to his current cigarette use and chronic lung disease.

Zoster Two doses given 2-6 months apart at ≥ 50 years of age - Pneumococcal (PPSV23) Given at least 1 year after PCV13 administration in adults ≥ 65 years of age PPSV23 is indicated in patients 19-64 years of age with the following chronic heart disease (excluding hypertension chronic liver disease chronic lung disease diabetes mellitus cigarette smoking patients ≥ 19 with immunodeficiency disorders HIV anatomical or functional asplenia chronic renal failure or nephrotic syndrome cerebral spinal fluid leak cochlear implant PPSV23 is given after PCV13 PPSV23 is not conjugated and does not stimulate a helper T-cell response Special Circumstances Splenectomy patients should receive vaccines to protect against encapsulated organisms S. pneumoniae (pneumococcus) H. influenzae N. meningitidis (meningococcus) vaccine regimen PCV13 followed by PPSV23 ≥8 weeks later H. influenzae type b vaccine meningococcus vaccine antibiotic prophylaxis most children with anatomy or functional asplenia/hyposplenism antibiotic prophylaxis (with penicillin V or amoxicillin) until the age of 5 for at least 1-year post splenectomy HIV inactivated vaccines are generally safe in this patient population live-attenuated vaccines can be given in this patient population when their CD4+ T-cell count is ≥ 200 cells/μL Patients with an egg allergy can receive the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine cannot receive the yellow fever vaccine Pregnancy live vaccines are generally avoided in pregnancy vaccines to be avoided human papillomavirus measles, mumps, and rubella varicella give post-exposure prophylaxis via varicella immune globulin (VZIG) within 10 days of exposure to varicella to confer passive immunity zoster Prematurity no need to delay vaccination schedule based on prematurity one exception, first dose of hepatitis B vaccine (typically given in the first 24-48 hours of life) can be delayed only if the infant is born with a birth weight of under 4 pounds 6 ounces

Bystanders call paramedics and she is subsequently taken to the nearest hospital. On arrival to the emergency department, her vitals are T: 36 deg C, HR: 110 bpm, BP: 100/60, RR: 12, SaO2: 99%. A FAST and abdominal CT are promptly obtained which are demonstrated in Figures A and B, respectively. Her chart demonstrates no other medical problems and vaccinations/boosters up to date. The patient is diagnosed with a Grade V splenic laceration and is immediately brought to the OR for emergent splenectomy. The splenectomy is successfully performed with removal of the damaged spleen (Figure C). Following the operation, the patient should receive which of the following vaccines: (I) H. influenzae (II) Tetanus (III) N. meningitidis (IV) S. pneumoniae (V) Hepatitis B QID: 105661 FIGURES: A B C Type & Select Correct Answer 1 I, II 0% (0/28) 2 I, III, IV 75% (21/28) 3 I, V 0% (0/28) 4 II only 0% (0/28) 5 III, IV 21% (6/28) M 5 Question Complexity D Question Importance Select Answer to see Preferred Response SUBMIT RESPONSE 2 Review Tested Concept Review Full Topic (M2.ID.15.93) A 68-year-old woman with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) presents to her hematologist for routine follow-up. She has been on chronic corticosteroids for her ITP, in addition to several treatments with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and rituximab. Her labs today reveal a white blood cell count of 8, hematocrit of 35, and platelet count of 14. Given her refractory ITP with persistent thrombocytopenia, her hematologist recommends that she undergo splenectomy. What is the timeline for vaccination against encapsulated organisms and initiation of penicillin prophylaxis for this patient?
