1) General information and description: Vector-borne transmission (mosquitoes) 2) Signs and symptoms: Cyclic fevers (fever-chills-fever-chills), anemia, fatigue 3) CC: Plasmodium falciparum (parasite) 4) VFs: None known 5) Diagnosis/differentiation: "CIRCLES" -- ring form, schizonts -"thick and thin" blood smears 6) Treatment plan: Quinine (expensive) or with mosquito netting/repellents and water source cleanup 7) Adverse effects: Neurological damage (high intracranial pressure) and abnormal posturing in kids
InfDisResp (U/LRT): Metapneumovirus
1) General information and description: hMPV -Most common in children and older adults (acute respiratory tract infection that is found commonly as INFLUENZA NEGATIVE, RSV NEGATIVE) 2) Signs and symptoms: Similar to Influenza: rapid onset headache, chills, dry cough, body aches, fever, stuffy nose, and sore throat 3) CC: Metapneumovirus (Paramyxovirus) 4) VFs: Unknown 5) Diagnosis/differentiation: DFA, (direct immunofluorescence) PCR 6) Treatment plan: Treat symptoms, not virus 7) Adverse effects:
InfDisResp (LRT): Tuberculosis Issues of Antibiotic Resistance
1) High levels of patient noncompliance are common due to long course treatments -DIRECTLY OBSERVED THERAPY (DOTs) -Incarceration also an option but a cause 2) MDR-TB (MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT TB) 3) XDR-TB (EXTENSIVELY DRUG-RESISTANT TB) 4) TDR-TB (TOTALLY DRUG RESISTANT TB)
InfDisResp (U/LRT): Influenza Variation
1) Influenza virus (Orthomyxovirus) Types A and B -SEGMENTED genome of 8 strands of RNA -Allows reassortment of fragments + mutations 2) Yearly flu strain changes (mutations) = ANTIGENIC DRIFT -Minor mutations in H, N, or both -Reduced host immune response to virus -Produces most seasonal influenza strains 3) Epidemic strain changes (reassortment) = ANTIGENIC SHIFT -"Shuffling" of genome in multiple virus infected hosts, RNA exchange between different viruses -More likely to produce pandemic strains or lead to new strains (H1N1 or H5N1)
InfDisResp (LRT): Tuberculosis THREE STAGES
1) Primary: Initial infection that is controlled and goes dormant -'Flulike' with mild fever -Positive for PPD, negative for CXR - not very contagious -FORMATION OF GRANULOMAS/TUBERCLES = hard calcified lesions of infected cells and M.tb (DORMANCY); lower central areas of the lungs as granulomas -ID50 ~ 10 -Mo ingest M.tb which then escape the phagolysosomal destruction -Killing of CD*+ T cells needed, leaves cell debris, need for more Mo -More M.tb infection 2) Secondary: Active infection, contagious, reactivations -Fever, coughing with BLOOD TINGED SPUTUM, NIGHT SWEATS, WEIGHT LOSS -"Consumption" -Positive for PPD and CXR -REACTIVATION/ESCAPE causes large immune response mediated by T cells; EXTENSIVE INFILTRATION in upper lungs/bronchi and marked tubercles -Cytokine release from Tcells results in CASEOUS (LIQUIFYING) NECROSIS "COTTAGE CHEESE LUNG") and spread out to lungs to other tissues 3) Disseminated (Miliary or "Pots Disease"): Spread of M.tb out of lungs to other tissues -Destructive lesions in spine and bone structure, humps, etc
InfDisResp (URT): Pharyngitis S pyogenes: Complications of Strep Throat
1) Scarlet Fever -Erythrogenic toxin production -Sandpaper like rash and high fever, school aged children 2) Rheumatic fever -X reaction between streptococcal M protein and heart muscle -Occurs about 3 weeks after pharyngitis has subsided -Damage to heart valves and circulatory system, arthritis in many joints 3) Glomerulonephritis -Formation of antigen-antibody complexed in the glomeruli (T3HS) -Characterized by nephritis and kidney failure/function 4) TSS and necrotizing fasciitis
InfDisResp (LRT): Tuberculosis Treatment and Prevention
1) Sunshine and outdoors (heat and UV sensitive) 2) "Cocktail treatment": LONG TERM treatment with antibiotics -RISE = rifampin, isoniazid, streptomycin, and ethambutol -Now adding pyrazinamide (RIPES) + aminoglycosides (RIPESAg) -NON-COMPLIANCE -- antibiotic resistance problematic 3) Prevention: education and detection 4) Vaccine: Bacille-Calmette-Guerin (BCG) -Not used in US
InfDisResp (URT): Pharyngitis S pyogenes: VFs
1) Surface antigens -LIPOTEICHOIC ACID (LTA) -M PROTEIN -HYALURONIC ACID (HA) 2) Extracellular Toxins -STREPTOLYSINS: streptolysin O (SLO) and streptolysin S (SLS) for hemolysis -ERYTHROGENIC TOXIN: rash, fever typical of scarlet fever 3) Superantigens -SPEA/SPEC activate T cells and induce tumor necrosis factor cytokine-mediated damage
SoCVD: Ebola Virus HEMORRHAGIC FEVER VARIANTS
1) Viral protein involvements 2) Coagulation abnormalities (GI bleeding, rash, hematological irregularities such as lymphopenia and neutrophilia) -Cytokines released when reticuloendothelial cells encounter virus --> exaggerated inflammatory response not protective -Damage to liver, massive viremia --> DIC blocking blood flow -Virus eventually infects microvascular endothelial cells and compromised vascular integrity (terminal stages include diffuse bleeding and hypotensive shock)
InfDisResp (U/LRT): Influenza Vaccination
Best Prevention: Hygiene + vaccination 1) Inactivated seasonal vaccine (injection) -3-5 different viruses resembling variants predicted in the coming flu season (70-90% effective against those strains) -6 mo+ -Standard side effects and risks 2) Live attenuated seasonal vaccine (LAIV): FluMist -Stimulates secretory immunity, but not as effective as we had hoped -5-49 years 3) Intradermal vision vaccine (FluZone ID) -2-3 viruses, efficacy is protective but % unknown -5-60 years -Higher side effects, same risks, LESS antigen, thimerosal (Hg) FREE
