25
latent infection of TB is
LTBI
26
active infection of TB is
ATBI
27
latent tuberculosis infection
- bacteria have colonized but do not cause obvious symptoms | - maybe people never progress beyond this stage.
28
active tuberculosis infection
Only about 10% of people with LTBI will develop ATBI (unless HIV-positiv
29
mortality rate if ATBI
over 50% if not treated
30
spread of TB is
entirely human to human
31
how is TB PASSED
aerosols from: - speaking - singing - coughing - sneezing
32
one sneeze from TB person
40,000 droplets
33
infections dose of TB
SMALL>>> only 10 bacteria
34
TB is the ___ cause of death
2nd, to HIV>>> NOW IT 1 DOE
35
how much of US population tests positive
5-10%
36
in some Asian and African countries, TB rates can be as high as
80%
37
to work at a healthcare facility..... a person in the US must pass
PPD test
38
PPD test
purified protein derivative test
39
what happens in PPD test
mall amounts of M. tuberculosis antigens are injected to see if the body reacts and forms a bump
40
if PPD test is positive
you must go through extra testing to ensure you will not pass your TB on to patients`
41
after initial infection of TB symptoms
flu-like symptoms
42
f TB progresses to ATBI, the predominant symptoms will be:
- chest pain - night sweats/fever - persistent (3+ week) and productive cough - weight loss - loss of appetite
43
where can M. tuberculosis survive
inside the phagosome of a macrophage
44
why can M. tuberculosis can survive inside the phagosome of a macrophage
mycolic acid coat prevents destruction by lysosom
45
mycolic acid cause the M. tuberculosis in the phagosome to
reproduces until it eventually kills the host macrophage.
46
what happens after M. tuberculosis kills the macrophage
more macrophages come, consume the dead ones, and fuse their contents together.
47
cycle of M. tuberculosis growth
repeats and repeats until formation of Langhans giant cell
48
Langhans giant cell
giant, multinucleate cell called a Langhans
49
A Langhans giant cell is a multinucleate cell with a
characteristic horseshoe shape
50
after the formation of a Langhans giant cell by M. tuberculosis in macrophages the response is
large cellular mass>>>>> granuloma
51
granuloma (TB)
a layer of T cells, B cells, and calcium
52
(TB)when there is granuloma it is
is a latent infection (LTBI)
53
in many cases, the granuloma *TB)
holds the bacteria for life (YAY)
54
sometimes the granuloma (TB)
liquifies and the bacteria escape
55
if the M. tuberculosis stay in the lungs after escaping the granuloma
causes ABTI
56
if M. tuberculosis invade bloodstream after escaping granuoma
miliary tuberculosis
57
miliary tuberculosis
granulomas forming across the body
58
miliary tuberculosis ends in
death if untreated
59
tuberculosis treatment
antibiotics
60
tuberculosis antibiotic treatment length
minimum of six months of multi-antibiotic treatment to clear all granulomas
61
many people with TB in developping countries
do not complete their antibiotic courses
62
result of people in developping countries not completing TB treatment
- MDR-TB | - XDR-TB
63
MDR-TB
multi-drug resistant TB
64
XDR-TB
extensively-drug resistant TB
65
how much to clear regular TB
$440
66
treatment for MDR-TB
140, 000
67
treatment XDR-TB
430,000
68
what causes leprosy
Mycobacterium leprae
69
leprosy other name
Hansen's disease
70
leprosy is in BIBLE
but is rare, lepers were probs people with bacterial or fungal skin infections
71
leprosy comes from
granulomas in the connective tissue below the skin or nerve cells
72
granulomas in the connective tissue below the skin causes
boils
73
granulomas in nerve cells
neurodegeneration
74
leprosy latency period
LONG AF..... long as 20 years
75
about how many people with leprosy develop symptoms
5%
76
primary symptoms of leprosy
lumps on the skin
77
if leprosy hits active form......
sheds original granulosas and colonize Schwann cells
78
which Schwann cells do M. leprae colonize
Schwann cells wrapped around axons of neurons
79
resulting damage from leprosy sheding their original granulosas and colonizing Schwann cells wrapped around the axons of neurons
resulting damage and inflammation>>> irreversible nerve damage>>>> death
80
M. leprae spreads much better in parts of the body
with lower temperatures
81
places where M. leprae spreads good
eyebrows, face, fingers, elbows, and scrotum
82
It is thought that M. leprae underwent
reverse zoonosis
83
reverse zoonosis M. leprae
from humans to armadillos
84
why did leprosy go to armadillos
ow body temperature made them excellent reservoirs for leprosy
85
armadillos
now probably pass leprosy back to humans
