Clinical Manifestations of Gonorrhea
• The symptoms are often mild and people are \_\_\_\_ they're infected ○ Inflammation doesn't produce much pain, but can cause \_\_\_\_ • Male STD: ○ Site of infection is primarily \_\_\_\_ ○ Urethritis is characterized by \_\_\_\_ discharge and \_\_\_\_ § Dysuria: Painful \_\_\_\_ ○ 20% chance of acquiring it after interaction with an infected woman § Higher than \_\_\_\_ • Female STD: ○ Site of infection is primarily \_\_\_\_ § Scarring of the \_\_\_\_ tube can result in infertility ○ \_\_\_\_ is characterized by vaginal discharge, dysuria, and abdominal pain ○ 50% chance of acquiring it after interaction with an infected man § Higher than HIV • Gonococcal Arthritis: Most common teen/young adult arthritis ○ Mostly of the \_\_\_\_ and mostly impacts \_\_\_\_ • Neonates: ○ \_\_\_\_ § Major cause of infant blindness before antibiotics ○ Purulent \_\_\_\_ ○ Can be acquired by the newborn at birth during passage through the \_\_\_\_

Virulence Factors of Gonococcus
• Adherence and invasion: ○ \_\_\_\_ –> responsible for initial association § Very antigenic ○ \_\_\_\_: Forms a tight interacting with target receptors leading to endocytosis of the bacteria ○ P.I: Prevents \_\_\_\_ formation § Preventing the bacteria from being \_\_\_\_ • Antigenic variation: A particular Ag (pili) undergoes a constant change by being synthesized from among a large repertoire of \_\_\_\_ types ○ This makes it difficult to formulate \_\_\_\_ against gonorrhea § Will express different pili so the immune system will not recognize the different pili being expressed –> won't be degraded ○ Phase Variation: Turning on or off the \_\_\_\_ components • Lipooligosaccharide (LOS): An \_\_\_\_ responsible for most of the symptoms of gonorrhea ○ Causes \_\_\_\_ ○ All gram negative bacteria have \_\_\_\_ or \_\_\_\_

Natural Course of Syphilis
3 Phases:
1. Primary Syphilis: Highly ____
○ Primary ____: Localized lesion where Syphilis first occurs
§ Will be seen within a week
○ Hematogenous dissemination can occur ____ weeks after the appearance of the Primary Chancre
2. Secondary Syphilis: Highly \_\_\_\_ ○ Has spread to the \_\_\_\_ becoming systemic ○ \_\_\_\_ and fever are present ○ Latent Syphilis: § No \_\_\_\_ can occur, which occurs in most people □ \_\_\_\_% of untreated cases relapse into Secondary Syphilis 3. Tertiary Syphilis: Leaves the \_\_\_\_and can invade organs that can be extremely devastating ○ Loss of \_\_\_\_ if it impacts the nervous system ○ NOT \_\_\_\_

Chlamydia Chlamydia trachomatis • Gram \_\_\_\_ • Very \_\_\_\_ –> .3μm in diameter ○ Was mistaken for a \_\_\_\_ initially • Obligate \_\_\_\_ parasite ○ Can only replicate within cells ○ Small genome means they're dependent on host cells for things like \_\_\_\_ • Most common \_\_\_\_ in the US
