Q

What are considered non treponemal syphillis tests?

A

MEasures antibody that binds to cardiolipin.

Q

If a pt comes in with non-gonococal urethritis (peeing blood) what is your differential?

A

Chlamydia causes most cases.

Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma urealyticum are two bacteria that contribute to NGU (think fried egg appearance)

Q

What is used to treat M genitlium?

A

M. genitalium is seen in many recurring non-gonnococal urethritis. It is immune to doxycycline and thus must be treated with azithromycin.
(It’s brother: Ureaplasma will be whiped out with doxycycline)

Q

The nugent score is another grading scale used to diagnose bacterial vaginosis. What is the criteria within this scale?

A

This is a numerical scale based on the presence of:
Large gram + rods
Small gram - variable rods
Curved gram variable rods.
7-10 is BV criteria

Q

What chemokines drectly cause hypotension and shock in result of TSST?

A

TNFalpha and TNFbeta are directly known to cause the hypotension and shock.

23
Q

HIV must undergo maturation via potease cleaving. What exactly does Protease cleave to cause maturation?

A

The protease cleaves the gag and gag-pol vral polyproteins in a process called virion maturation.

24
Q

What is the risk of HIV transmission from mother to child?

A

Overall 1/4 with the highest chance being during birth (50-65% at birth)

25
Q

When does the HIV acute syndrome occur and what is it marked by?

A

Occurs typically 3-6 weeks following infection with symptoms similar to mononucleosus. At this time HIV antibodies might not be detectable.

26
Q

What is the innitial immune resposne to HIV?

A

Seen in the graph, the birst of viremia initially causes the immune response to increase antibody levels thus decreasing viral levels.

27
Q

What is the chronic phase of HIV infection marked by?

A

MArked by very low levels of viremia with pt often asymptomatic. This can last up to 10 years if left untreated.

28
Q

What markers does HIV testing look for?

A

HIV1 and HIV2 antibodies as well as p24 antigen.

29
Q

For a neonate, which test should be give to determine infection of HIV?

A

HIV nucleic acid test as it actually looks for the HIV RNA genomes.

30
Q

What test can be used to detect provirus in infected HIV cells?

A

PCR.

31
Q

What does the drug Maraviroc do?

A

Binds to the co receptor of CCR5 and prevents gp120 binding.

32
Q

What does the drug Enfuvirtide do?

A

This is a Fusion inhibitor that binds to gp41

33
Q

What does Azidothymidine AZT do?

A

This is an anti HIV drug that acts as a nucleoside inhibitor NRTI and actually gets incorporated into the provirus synthesis.
(SHE elf)

34
Q

What does Nevirapine do?

A

This is a nonnucleoside inhibitor that binds directl to the reverse transcriptase and inhibits its activity.

35
Q

What does Raltegravir do?

A

This is an anti HIV drug that inhibits integrase function

36
Q

What does the drug Saquinavir do?

A

This is a drug that acts against HIV proteases.

37
Q

What is the probablility and mortality rate of HSV encephalitis?

A

Chances are 1/3 that the neonate will develop encephalitis. There is a 50% mortality rate in infants that do not receive treatment with encephalitis.

38
Q

What is the mortality rate of disseminated HSV before and after treatment?

A

Before treatment mortality reaches 80%.

Following treatment mortality drops to 23%.

39
Q

What virological tests and smears can be used to detect HSV?

A 
Tzank smear (Fried blue eggs)
PCR to detect the genome
Immunocytochemistry to detect antigens.
40
Q

What does Acylovir do?

A

Acyclovir is a nucleoside analogue that when phosphorylated will inhibit viral DNA polymerase.
Used to treat HSV

41
Q

What does Foscarnet do?

A

An HSV nonnucleoside inhibitor that does not require phosphorylation to inhibit the HSV polymerase.

42
Q

Which HPV serotypes cause laryngeal papilomas?

A

HPV 6 and HPV 11.

43
Q

Which HPV serotypes cause high risk angiogenital warts?

A

HPV 16, 18, 31, 33

44
Q

Which serotypes of HPV are low risk for anogenital warts?

A

HPV 16, and 18

45
Q

Which serotypes are known to cause common cutaneous warts?

A

Serotypes 2,3,10

46
Q

Which serotypes are known to cause pantar warts?

A

Hpv 1 and 4

47
Q

HPV E7 and HPV E8 work directly on what causing what?

A

HPV E7 works on RB
HPV E8 works on P53
Both of these proteins are produced by low and high risk HPV strains and cause the cell to continually go from G1 to S phase.

48
Q

Hyperkeratosis and koilocytes are histogenic markers for what pathology?

A

HPV can be seen under scope as Fried blue eggs.

49
Q

Guardisil is what sort of HPV vaccination?

A

Guardicil is a quadrivalent vaccine made in yeast given to men and women via three doses
(Men only receive the quadrivalent)

50
Q

What type of HPV vaccination is ceravix?

A

Ceravix is a bivalent vaccine composed in yeast and given to women only in a series of three dosages.

51
Q

Which strains does guardisil protect against?

A

Strains 6, 11, 16, 18

52
Q

What strains does ceravix protect against?

A

Strains 16, 18

53
Q

Which HPV strains are not covered by either guardasil or ceravix?

A

31 and 33
