Campylobacter jujuni can cause what disease
Guillian- Barre syndrome
= immune mediated neuropathy —-> ascending flaccid paralysis from legs up
= pins needles paralysis
= can lead to respiratory paralysis
2 organisms what can present as acute appendicitis
- Campylobacter jujuni
2. Yersinia enterocolitica
Reiter’s Syndrome SX
cant pee –urethritis, cant see—-conjuctivitis, cant climb a tree —-> septic arthritis
low grade fever
Reiter’s Syndrome
infects how and who is susceptible
people with HLA-B27
abnormal immune response
Reiter’s Syndrome can be associated with
after any enteric bacterial infection
Helicobacter pylori
classification
toxin
gram - curvilinear bacilli
urease (alkaline urinealkaline breath*, pink on test)
H Pylori SX
- Chronic gastritis (N,V)
2. Gastric and Duodenal ulcers (pain)
H pylori can lead to
- B-cell lymohoma
2. Gastric adenocarcinoma
H-pylori TR mode
oral-oral or oral fecal
H pylori cells that you see
N and lymphocytes
Respiratory pathogens 3
- Bordetella Pertussis
- Legionella Pneumonophilia
- Haemophilus influenza
Bordetella pertussis
classification
virulence factors
gram - bacilli highly contageous pertussis toxin (increases cAMP = lymphocytosis, lowered phagocytosis, histamine sensitivity)
Bordetella pertussis SX
prevention
Whooping cough after 1-2 weeks of cold sx, nose and mouth secretions
can become pneumonia
DTAP vaccine
cell you see in Bordetella pertussis
lymphocytosis (few bacterial infections show this)
Legionella pneumophila
classification
colonizes
toxin
gram - bacilli
water systems
biofilms and inside amoebas
Legionella pneumophila can cause what SX
- Pontiac Fever : self-limited febrile illness 2-5 days
2. Legionnaire’s Disease : Multilobular pneumonia + abscess
Haemophilus influenzae
classification
grow on
prevention
gram - pleomorphic bacilli (encapsulated + non-encapsulated)
grow on HEMIN and NAD (found in chocolate agar blood)
Hib vaccine –> prevent meningitis at early age
Factor X
Factor V
Hemin
NAD
3 organisms that grow on chocolate agar
- Neisseria
- Moraxella
- Haemophilus influenza
most severe Haemophilus influenzae
type b = Hib
Haemophilus influenzae encapsulated SX
- childhood : meningitis *
- acute epiglottitis : fever, wheezing, drooling * = acute layrngeal spasm that can cause complete occlusion of airway, when examining larynx
- septic arthritis : young child
Haemophilus influenzae unencapsulated SX
- Otitis media*
- Sinusitis
- COPD exacerbation
