Tuberculosis pathogen/vax
mycobacterium tuberculosis/BCG not given in US
Tubercles
TB. lesions in alveoli become walled off forming small round tubercles
TB progression
1 enter alveoli may be killed by pnms and macrophages
2 tubercles
3 more bacteria released into center of tubercles
4 tubercles might rupture
5a milliary TB: bacteria spread from pulmonary capillaries to bloodstream and other organs=death
5b Ghon complexes created when leasions heal and calcify waiting to reoccur
What happens in tubercles during TB
bacteria is released into the middle. chronic inflammation leads to tissue damage/liquefication (apoptosis of tissue cells). Creates caseous aerobic air pocket for bacteria to grow and multiply
milliary TB
when TB bacteria erupt out of tubercles and spread down pulmonary capillaries into the bloodstream and other organs
TB transmission
respiratory droplets from coughing
Ghon complex
when lesions in TB heal and calcify they make Ghon complex, bacteria still remain in them. can be seen in chest radiographs
sore throat scientific name
pharyngitis
ear infection scientific name
otitis media
when is TB no longer infectious
as soon as antibiotics (rifampin,isoniazid) are taken. need 6mo-1yr to be cured
MDR-TB
Multiple drug resistant TB
TB antibiotics
rifampin, isoniazid
Whooping cough pathogen
Bordetella pertussis. gram- coccobacillus (short rods)
How whooping cough
attach to epithelial cells, makes exotoxins (pertussis toxin, tracheal toxin)
3 stages of whopping cough
- catarrhal-Very contagious. mild, runny nose, sneezing
- paroxysmal-mucous, uncontrollable coughing spasm, vomiting, weeks
- convalescence-chronic cough(several months)
Legionnaires disease pathogen
legionella pneumophila. gram- rod
comes from dirty water (stagnant)
legionnaires disease found in
water reservoirs: AC cooling towers, humidifiers, misting systems, fountains
Q fever pathogen
Coxiella burnetti, rickettsia(tiny disease) zoonotic: cows, sheep, goats-urine, feces, milk, amniotic fluid, ticks, inhalation of infected dust (farmyard aerosols)
