24
Q

What are the clinical signs and symptoms of ehrlichioisis and anaplasmosis?

A
  • Asymptomatic to chronic infection

- Typically acute febrile illness

25
Q

Which bacteria is more life threatening?

A

Anaplasmosis

26
Q

What is the treatment for ehrlichiois and anaplasmosis?

A

Use antibiotics early with suggestive clinical presentation

Specifically Doxycycline/Tetracycline because it can get inside cells

Hiking, Exposure to wildlife

31
Q

What is the vector, animal reservoir, and routes of transmission for babesia microti?

A

Tick

White-footed mice

Blood transfusion, congenital (rare)

32
Q

What are the clinical manifestations of babesiosis?

A
  • Asymptomatic or flu like
  • Dark urine/hemolytic anemia
  • Life threatening in
    1. Patients w/o spleen
    2. Immunocompromised
    3. Advanced age
33
Q

How can you diagnose Babesia?

A
  1. Merozoite tetrad in blood smear (can be difficult to distinguish from plasmodium)
  2. Serology (IFA)
  3. PCR
34
Q

What are two different types of Leishmaniasis?

A
  1. Visceral leishmaniasis

2. Cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis

35
Q
  • Intracellular pathogens of the macrophage
  • Sand fly insect vector
  • Diverse group of protozoan parasites
A

Leishmaniases

36
Q

A
  1. Fever
  2. Weight loss
  3. Swelling of spleen and liver
  4. Anemia
  5. Fatality
  6. Post-kala-azar manifestations
38
Q

How do you diagnose leishmaniasis?

A
  1. Bone marrow/splenic aspirate to detect amastigotes in macrophage
  2. Serology
39
Q

What does each amastigote in Leishmania have?

A
