What does HIV bind to on macrophages?

A

CCR5 + CD4

23
Q

Function of p24?

A

Caspid protein

24
Q

25
Q

Squamous cell carcinoma in AIDS patient

A

HPV

26
Q

Function of gp120

A

Binds CD4+ T cell

26
Q

Which two cell types does HIV bind?

A

CD4+ T cells and macrophages

27
Q

Lateral tongue plaque

A

Hairy leukoplakia (EBV)

28
Q

EBV

A

Hairy leukoplakia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (large cell type), Primary CNS lymphoma

29
Q

How could one be immune to HIV?

A

MAC

34
Q

Pleuritic pain with hemoptysis and infiltrates on CXR

A

Invasive Aspergillosis

(remember it likes to invade vessels = hemoptysis)

36
Q

AIDS patient with superficial vascular proliferation, biopsy shows PMNs

A

Bartonella henslae (bacillary angiomatosis)

37

41
Q
A

Hairy leukoplakia (EBV)

42
Q

How is HIV diagnosed?

A

Presumptive diagnosis with ELISA (high false +; rule out)

Confirmed with Western blot (high false -; rule in)

43
Q

Retinitis + esophagitis

A

CMV

44
Q

Which disease is a direct effect of HIV?

A

Dementia

45
Q

Why would an ELISA or Western blot have a high false + rate in babies born to infected mothers?

A

They detect antibodies and anti-gp120 antibodies cross the placenta
