Do we not need to know the anti-protozoal/helmithics for Step 1? They're not in FA as far as I can see...

MEBENDAZOLE


I don't think parasitic infections (besides malaria) are too high yield. We don't see diseases like leishmania here. Atleast thats what Kaplan says. From what I remember from lippincotts Mebendazole treats everything. I'm willing to guess on these questions if it means I can commit more memory ''space'' to pathophys

 

[IMnotgivingup!!]

there is a page on it in 2011 FA. But I agree, it is pretty low yield compared to other stuff. might get one question on it if you're lucky (or unlucky i guess).

 

[Rollo]

Yeah it's there in FA...

I think I'll just put down "metro" for those questions!

Be careful if you're just skimming this info...nifurtimox was on my Step 1. This was on a chart in the FA micro section (2010).

Wow. Was it a T. cruzi related question or did it go so far as to ask about the mechanism?

 

[Sinister]

Yea Im really curious too. In 2011 first aid they actually have the mechanisms now. Did they ask which drug or the mechanism too?

 

[engineeredout]

See this is why I ask you guys. I've been studying out of FA 2010 and it doesn't have this antiprotozoan/antihelminthic page. Just photocopied it from a copy of 2011 in the library.

Thanks!

Just asked treatment, no mechanism.

I had one on my step1 too, I'd know them

Is the page in 2011 first aid different than what is on pages 161-164 of 2010 first aid in the treatment boxes for anitprotozoal/antihemlminthic's?

No, they've added a page of anti-parasitic drugs in the "Antimicrobials" section

oh nice, thanks

 

[Fuzuli]

oh nice, thanks

Oh, I've just realized you asked if it was different. For some reason, I read it as 'Are these sections the same?'

To clarify, the info in FA 2011 is new and not found in FA 2010.

Those pages are the same, but now at the end of the micro section is an entirely new page with the MOAs for all the drugs mentioned.

thanks, I guess I'll have to borrow my friends 2011 FA and photocopy that page.
