32
Q

AAPH CO2 requirement

A

5-10% CO2

33
Q

34
Q

about —% of HINF meningitis cases are GS CSF positive

A

85

35
Q

factor X name

A

hemin

36
Q

factor V name

A

nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD)

37
Q

which factors does AAPH require?

A

Only factor X, and only on initial isolation.

38
Q

which factor can diffuse from intact RBCs, and which is only present after lysis

A

Factor X can diffuse (SBA and CHOC)
Factor V available after lysis (CHOC)

39
Q

3 ways bacteria can get factor V from the medium

A
  • gentle heating, CHOC
  • SAUR or yeast producing it directly
  • SAUR’s beta hemolysis liberating it from RBCs
40
Q

2 purposes of heating sheep’s blood for the CHOC

A
  • lysis RBCs, releasing NAD
  • destroys the NADases in the blood

A

10

43
Q

endotoxin of Haemophilus

44
Q

HINF’s pathogenicity largely depends on whether it has…

45
Q

HINF capsule serotypes and the worst one

A

a, b, c, d, and f
B is the worst

46
Q

—– test was used to determine HINF serotype, but is now rarely used becasue….

A

latex agglutination
HiB vaxx largely eliminated serotype B

47
Q

long name for ALA

A

ALA test

49
Q

screen HINF for ——- production

A

B-lactamase

50
Q

How did HINF get its name?

A

51
Q

Meningitis due to HINF usually occurs in what pop?

A

unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated kids

52

epiglottitis common population

A

2 to 7 years old
males 20-30 years old

56
Q

ideal sample for a culture for epiglottitis

A

blood

must establish airway (trach) before taking sample from epiglottis

57
Q

3 most common causes of otitis media

A

SPNE
HINF
MCAT

58
Q

HINF has no clinical significance if isolated from a —— culture

A

throat

59
Q

What causes petechiae, purpura in Brazilian purpuric fever?

A

LPS of organism causes capillaries/vessels to leak

60
