A

Chlamydia

3
Q

Other causes of Non-Gonococcal Urethritis outside of C. Trachomatis:

A

Mycoplasma Genitalium and Ureaplasma Urealyticum

4
Q

Features of Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma:

A

SMALLEST FREE-LIVING BACTERIA Do NOT Gram stain Plasma membranes contain STEROLS They DO NOT have a cell wall

5
Q

Significance of sterols in Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma:

A

Only bacteria that have sterols in cell membrane. They steal this from their host.

6
Q

Implications of Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma not having a cell wall:

A

They are resistant to penicillins, cephalosporins vancomycin and other Abx that interfere with cell wall synthesis

7
Q

Colonies of Mycoplasma have an appearance of what:

A

Fried Egg

8
Q

Mycoplasma Genitalium and Mycoplasma Hominis features + NGU:

A

Common inhabitants of GU tract, thus makes their contribution to NGU difficult.

9
Q

Mycoplasma Genitalium disease in men and women:

A

Men: NGU Female: Cervicitis/PID

10
Q

Mycoplasma Genitalium significant feature:

A

RESISTANT TO DOXYCYCLINE (Which is treatment of choice for C. Trachomatis) Must use AZITHROMICIN

11
Q

Ureaplasma common cause of:

A

COMMON CAUSE of NGU in MALES

12
Q

Treatment of Acute + Recurrent Ureaplasma:

A

Doxycyline (also active against C. Trachomatis) if reoccurring after treatment> possible Mycoplasma Genitalium infection treat with Azithro!

13
Q

Definition of NUG:

A

Non-gonococcal Urethritis: Infection of urethra that is NOT caused by Gonorrhoeae

14
Q

What is a Chancroid and what is the causative agent?

A

Sexually transmitted genital ulcer disease caused by Haemophilus Ducreyi

15
Q

Incidence of Chancroid in the US:

A

Currently: VERY LOW. Late 1980s: outbreak with sex workers and crack cocaine. More common in Africa, Asia + Caribbean)

16
Q

**Haemophilus Ducreyi Features:

A

Gram (-) coccobacillus. Facultative anaerobe. Catalase (+)

17
Q

**Haemophilus Ducreyi requirements for growth in culture

A

They are fastidiuous- X and V factor BOTH required for growth. Both of these factors present in heated blood agar (chocolate agar)

18
Q

Symptoms of Haemophilus Ducreyi/Chancroid infection:

A

**ONE OR MORE PAINFUL and SOFT chancre/lesions ** Inguinal lympadenopathy also common and important in diagnosis.

19
Q

Risk of Haemophilus Ducreyi Infection:

A

increased risk for HIV/AIDS transmission

20
Q

Treatment of Haemophilus Ducreyi/Chancroid :

A

Macrolide: Azithro or Erythro

21
Q

Making differential diagnosis of Haemophilus Ducreyi (4):

A

Appearance: MULTIPLE PAINFUL, SOFT genital ulcers. Negative for Syphilis. Negative HSV. Lymph adenopathy present.

22
Q

Distinguishing Syphilis from Chancroid caused by H. Ducreyi:

A

Syphilis: SINGULAR, PAINLESS + INDURATED. Chancroid: MULTIPLE, PAINFUL + SOFT

23
Q

Donovanosis/Granuloma Inguinale causative agent:

A

Klebsiella Granulomatis

24
Q

*Symptoms of Donovanosis/Granuloma Inguinale:

A

Lesions that are: PAINLESS, more WARTLIKE + BLEED EASILY

25
Q

Complications of Donovanosis/Granuloma Inguinale infection:

A

Can lead to significant genital damage if untreated

26
Q

Diagnosis of Donovanosis/Granuloma Inguinale:

A

Appearance of Donovan bodies and ruling out other causes

27
Q

First two differentials with a patient who is young, sexually active and has genital, anal or perianal ulcers:

A

Genital Herpes (HSV-2) + Syphilis

28
Q

Chancroid and Donovanosis infections are associated with:

A

patients who have travelled

29
Q

Progression of diagnosis and treatment for patient with genital ulcer disease:

A

1) Serologic test for syphilis or darkfield exam. 2) Diagnostic evaluation for HSV. 3) Can now test for H. Ducreyi or Klebsiella Granulomatis. Frequently must treat BEFORE test results available or there may not be a definitive diagnosis made.
