What is syphillis
Syphyillis is a sexual transmitted disease that is caused by the bacteria SPIROCHETE TREPONEMA PALLIDIUM
Syphillis is also called
Lues
Once syphillis affect an individual what appear
Chancre : an injury caused by primary syphillis
Chancre heals it’s self after how many weeeks in an untreated patient
4-6 weeks
What signifies the presence of secondary syphillis
Generalized lymphadenopathy: swelling of lymph nodes
Mucocutaneous lesion ; injury on skin nose eyes anus etc
What phase in syphillis is asymptomatic
Late latent phase
Presence of tertiary syphillis is signified by
Lesions in the CNS
cardiovascular system
Tertiary syphillis is not infectious
But primary and secondary syphillis is infectious
The microscopic indication of syphilkis is
Proliferation Endarterities
The microscopic indication of syohilliis is
Proliferative endarterities
The lesions in secondary syphillis are usually
Asymmetrical
Bisymentyrical
Symmetrical
Polysymmetrical
Symmetrical
Enlarged lymph nodes in syphillis infection usually occur in what area
Neck and ingiunal regions
Malaria is a disease caused by
Plasmodium falciparum ( fatale)
Plasmodium vivax, malariea, nd ovale ( Beningn)
The saliva of anopheles mosquito that transmits malaria contains an egg called
Sporozite
Sporozites infect what cells first during infection
Liver cells
Sporozite eggs of malaria multiply by the process of
Schizogyny
After schizogny, the sporozites becomes merozites in the liver cells
And Dey don’t harm the liver cells
When the female anopheles mosquito inject human with the Sporozite the Sporozite mature to become
Shizont which ruptures to release merozite
What are trophozites
Trophozites are sporozites that have infected red blood cells asexually
Trophozites mature to shizonts and release merozites
AIDS is caused by ———- and characterized by
HIV and characterized by low CD4+ T lymphocyte
