Q

Laboratory Diagnosis of spirochetes

A

1Morphology and staining: Treponemas are so thin that they don’t stain by ordinary stains and can be seen only by:
Dark field examination: as motile spiral.
Fontana stain: as brown spiral organisms.
Direct immunofluorescence: seen under immunofluorescence microscope will show typical shaped fluorescent spirochetes.

2Culture pathogenic treponemas can’t be grown in artificial culture media but they maintained by subculture
3Serological tests:Non treponemal antigen tests (Non specific): they are including :
1.Flocculation test
VDRL test.
RPR test.
USR test.
TRUST test.
2. Complement fixation test (Wasserman reaction):
Treponemal antibody tests (specific tests): these tests involve the use of specific treponemal antigens.
They include:
Fluorescent treponemal Antibody Absorption( FTA_ABS) Test.
Treponema pallidum haemagglutination Test (TP-HA).

Q

Chlamydia are a large group of … parasites

obligate intracellular

27
Q

CHLAMYDIA stained by …..

A

Giemsa or leishman stain.

28
Q

CHLAMYDIA that infect humans are divided into three species:

A

Chlamydia trachomatis
Chlamydia psittaci
Chlamydia pneumoniae

29
Q

Chlamydia that cause zoonotic infection

A

Chlamydia psittaci

30
Q

reproductive cycle of Chlamydia

A

The cycle begins when the extracellular, metabolically inert spore like small elementary (EB) enters the cell by a phagocytosis-like process and converted into a larger, metabolically active reticulate body (RB).
Reticulate body undergoes repeated binary fission to form daughter elementary bodies that are seen in the host cell as intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies, which are released from the cell to infect new cells.

31
Q

Trachoma is a disease characterized by ……. which is ….. that started by acute infection of conjunctiva and cornea and progressed to …….
caused by serotypes ….

A

mucopurulent conjunctivitis,
chronic keratoconjuctivitis
scarring and blindness.
A, B and C

32
Q

Inclusion conjunctivitis Is a milder form in which the .. is not involved and healed without ….
It is caused by serotypes …..

A

cornea
scar formation
D-K.

33
Q

….. prominent cause of non-gonococcal urethritis and rarely epididymitis and proctatitis in males.

A

C.trachomatis serotypes D-K is a

34
Q

Reiters syndrome

A

Its autoimmune disease affects patients with genital C. trachomatis its characterized by urethritis, arthritis, and uveitis. Its caused by antibodies formed against C.trachomatis cross reacting with antigens on the cells on the urethra, joints and uveal tract.

35
Q

48
Q

Borrelia vincentii (Vincent Angina)

A

Borrelia vincentii is a commensal in the oral cavity. Under certain conditions, injury to mucous membranes, nutritional deficiency, or infection e.g. Herpes simplex. B. vincentii with anaerobic fusiform bacilli will flourish and increase in number. Mouth ulcers are formed on the tonsils and gums with pseudomembrane containing pus cell and necrotic tissue. This occurs in acute ulcerative gingivostomatitis (trench mouth) often called Vincent’s angina.
Laboratory diagnosis of Vincent’s angina:
1. Specimen: swab from pseudomembrane.
2. Gram’s stained film: shows Gram_negative pleomorphic bacilli (short, fusiform, and filamentous) and large number of pus cells.
3. Culture.

49
Q

Relapsing fever:

A

Relapsing fever occurs in two forms (Table I): 1. Epidemic or louse_borne relapsing fever is caused by borrelia recurrentis. Its obligate human organism transmitted from person to person by body louse. 2. Endemic or tick_borne relapsing fever: is caused by some Borrelia species and transmitted to human by ticks. The natural host of these organisms is rodents. Infection is transmitted by contamination of the bite wound by the infected excreta of the tick or by the bite.
