Question

--------------------------

Index (First) Case: A miner aged 38 years who worked at copper mine X.

On August 11, the miner had onset of coughing and a sore throat, but continued coming to work. On August 16, with worsening signs and symptoms including fatigue, muscle aches, vomiting, and uncontrollable coughing, the patient was admitted to a hospital, where a chest radiograph showed bilateral infiltrates. Sputum cultures were negative but showed increased leukocyte counts. The patient was transferred to intensive care on August 21 and was treated with intravenous antibiotics (trimethoprim), which did not resolve symptoms. Patient samples tested positive for H1N1 influenza virus in PCR and ELISA assays, and the patient was treated with oseltamivir to inhibit viral spread. Viral titers were observed to decrease beginning on August 24, concomitant with a lessening of symptoms, and the patient was released on August 29 with no detectable virus.

Fifteen of the patient’s co-workers and thirty individuals exposed at the hospital came down with respiratory symptoms and tested positive for H1N1 influenza in the following two weeks. All were treated with oseltamivir and recovered.

Refer to the case study above. For the index case described, why was trimethoprim not useful?
