Q

common clinical presentation of actinomyces infection

  • what is the main differentiating factor from this infection vs the other bug that presents in the same region with a similar hx
A
  • is an anaerobic bug that is naturally found in the gut flora
  • cause disease when they get introduced into the submucosa during mechanical trauma i.e. a denal procedure
    • infectious disease most commonly involves the cervicofacial region
    • =chronic, nontender, indurated mass in the perimandibular area
    • will grow and evolve over time –> multiple abscesses and draining sinus tracts
    • HALL= sulfur granules (don’t actually contain sulfur, just look like it)
      • the abscesses will drain a grainy, sand like yellow pus, it contains the Actinomyces filaments and necrotic tissue in it as well

vs Staph aureus -the leading cause of acute suppurative permandibular/parotid infection

  • S. aureus will be firm, tender, and will progress rapidly

Q

how would you classify the following sx:

  • “marked wknss in the distal M and moderate wkness in the proximal M of both legs. DTRs are absent”

what is the etiology of this presentation

A

this is describing symmetric, ascending weakness

  • Guillan Barre

Q

how does the influenza A virus undergo genetic shift?

what other viruses have this ability?

A

influenza A-

  • gene segment reassortment: its genes are in segments so if two segmented viruses meet in the body, they can trade segments and create recombinant viruses very easily
  • a lot easier to create new genetic changes than just point mutations in non-segmented viruses
  • segment recomb can lead to change in the capsule = antigenic shift

other segmented viruses

  • rotavirus = MC cause of diarrhea in kids and infants
    • (a type of reovirus)
  • orthomyxovirus = influenza viruses
  • bunyaviridae
    • arthropod viruses
    • hemorrhagic fever
    • hantavirus = fever, pulm edema, pulmonary fever
  • arenavirus
    • hemorrhagic fever, found in south america

Q
  • what pathologic mechanism enables influenza to invade human cells
  • mechanism of antigenic change in influenza
  • how does an influenza strain that infects other animals become capable of infecting humans
A

influenza

  • MOI- mechanism of invasion
    • flu virus is an (-)RNA virus that is enveloped within a host derived plasma membrane
    • in order to interact with human cells, it needs a hemagglutinin (viral surface glycoprotein) that will allow it to attach to human epithelial cells (i.e. in the RT)
  • antigenic change
    • poor proofreading (by RNAdep, RNApol) –> antigenic drift
    • genetic segment rearrangment –> antigenic shift
  • antigenic change in the hemagglutinin that creates a tissue tropism for human epithelial cells will make the virus capable of infecting humans
