Final: Things already known Flashcards
(24 cards)
Hides in the nerve fibers. Greater than 20% of women showing symptoms of disease when giving birth causes miscarry 90% time
Herpes simples II Disease “genital herpes”
Protozoan Survives near or in prostate- Asymptomatic Frothy green discharge in females May cause PID
Trichomonas vaginalis
Infects- the macrophage and the Th 2 cell Many infections lead to diseases not normally seen in healthy individuals.
HIV “Human Immunodeficiency virus”
A Fungus/ Yeast- Resistant to phagocytosis. Found on openings of body. Common in infants and toddlers. Risk to immune suppressed individuals and following broad spectrum antibiotics. White, creamy exudate May be associated with PID.
Candida albicans Disease- Thrush
Part of the normal flora, each region has different strain. UTI- Painful urination seen most often in women
Escherichia coli
Causes common wart keratinized masses on genitals. Most dangerous Leads to cervical cancer
Human papilloma virus HPV
Pharyngitis- See pus “strawberry tongue” most common group A. Glomerulonephritis-Bad antibody/ Antigen ratio. Rhumatic fever- Over reactivity of antibodies (Damage heart and valves). Impetigo-Blistered skin, pus, crust. Scarlett fever- Secondary infection following chicken pox (intense redness around old chicken pox). Necrotizing fasciitis- skin falls off bone. Acute UTI- Causes glomerulonephritis Endocarditis Inflammation of heart from immune reaction from protein M…leads to death.
Streptococcus pyogenes
The largest intestinal worm. Infected- fecal oral route Reservoir- human May see slight blood tinged cough High number in body can lead to obstructions.
Ascaris lumbricoides
Most deadly version Eats intestinal wall. Reservoir- Cattle Burrows into gut to circulation Causes kidney failure and leads to major organ failure.
Hemorrhagic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) 0157:H7
Deadliest, most common cause of community acquired pneumonia, has rust colored blood cough. Meningitis. Has 80 capsules, diplococcus, Gm (+). Has Vacc
Streptococcus pneumoniae Disease- Lobar pneumonia
Protista Human ingest cyst Burrow through intestinal wall into liver and lungs Causes abscess (chronic condition) 5% US get 10-20% world gets
Entamoeba histolytica
Sheads proglottids sometimes with gravid. Dangerous if goes to brain and forms cyst.
Taenia solium
Infected by cyst- Not bothered by chlorine. Id50 of 50 cyst. Has sucking disk that damage microvilli Causes- Explosive diarrhea
Giardia lamblia
DNA virus Dangerous in late pregnancy 30% of neonates will die. Causes Chicken pox, shingles. Reyes syndrome- convulsions, high mortality rate CNS problems.
Varicella zoster
Pandemic Starts: chills, fever, muscle pain. Type A most virulent, Has spikes. High risk for secondary bact. infection. 500H H-hemagluttinen (attachment) 100H N-neuramidase (breaks mucus)
Influenze virus
Infected through the nares, wanders, goes to brain causes meningoencephalitis, death in 1 week common in recreational H20 areas
Naegleria fowleri
Cat/ mouse/ bird life cycle Risk to immune compromised and developing fetus
Toxoplasma gondii
Eggs viewed on anal opening. Very contagious
Enterobius vermicularis
Larva found inside pork muscle. Breaks down the actin. Asymptomatic unless large number in body
Trichinella spiralis
Has 2 exotoxins: 1. Inhibit cilia, 2. Kills ciliated cells. Humans are the reservoir. Leads to brain damage in infants
Bordatella pertussis “Whooping cough”
Scalded skin syndrome- exfoliate toxin Toxic shock syndrome- Rare, mimics septic shock, Rash Food poisoning-Fastest, 10-15 hr crams, Toxin stable (Toxemia), Tetany of small intestine. Impetigo Cellulitis Boils, carbuncles, furuncles Abscess following surgery (hemolytic) Acute bacterial endocarditis- focal infection to heart valves, heart murmur, destruction in days to weeks, fatal if untreated, fever, weakness.
Staphylococcus aureus
Virus found in mice and rat urine and feces.
Hanta virus disease- Fulminating pneumonia
Opportunistic fungal lung infection seen in immune compromised patients. Found in food products like bread.
Aspergillus and Mucor
Transmitted by oral or respiratory routes. Causes- Vesicles around the oral region. Conjunctivitis- called “red eye” Reamins latent in nerve fibers. 90% population has it.
