29
Does Mycobacterium tuberculosis bind to acid?
Yes. | Acid fast = M. tuberculosis
30
What is lipoarabinomanan?
the M tuberculosis equivalent to LPS | It inhibits macrophage activation, thereby escaping destruction.
31
What are the steps in pathogenesis for M. Tuberculosis?
1. taken into macrophages 2. multiply in non-acidified phagosomes 3. delayed-type hypersensitivity (CD4 stimulates TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma) 4. macrophage activation and granuloma formation

What kind of inflammation is caused by Cryptococcal Meningitis?
Little inflammation
59

What illness and inflammation is caused by Plasmodium Falciparum?
Malaria | Little inflammation
63
What mechanism of pathogenesis is used by Plasmodium Falciparum in malaria?
