A

like cord factor - with sulfates

38
Q

wax D

A

mycoside adjuvant

39
Q

TB path

A

1 - local infiltrate of neutros and M0s
-phagocytosed bacteria not killed

2 - local destruction and necrosis - caseous
-soft caseous center, surrounded by M0s, multinucleated giant cells, fibroblasts, collagen deposits (granuloma)

40
Q

PPD skin test

A

for TB

  • reveal whether or not person has been infected
  • considered to have latent TB
41
Q

false positive PPD skin test

A

BCG (bacillus calmette guerin) vaccine for TB

42
Q

false negative test

A

anergic individuals

-lack normal immune reponse

43
Q

primary TB

A

inspired droplets - enter macrophages

  • walled off in caseous granulomas
  • fibrosis, calcification, scar formation
  • form tiny tubercles
44
Q

ghon focus

A

calcified tubercle in middle or lower lung zone

45
Q

symptomatic primary TB

A

children, elderly, immunocompromised

  • organisms not suppressed
  • enlarged mediastional or hilar nodes

severe - holes in lungs form
-become fluid filled

46
Q

secondary TB

A

reactivation

  • often in AIDS patients
  • affect multiple organ systems:

pulmonary - most commons - apical areas around clavicles
-low grade fever, night sweats, weight loss, productive cough

  • pleural and pericardial infection - fluid around heart/lung
  • lymph node infection - cervical lymph noes - swell/mat together - scrofula
  • kidney - red and white blood cells in urine - no bacteria
  • skeletal - potts disease - destroys IV discs and bodies
  • CNS - granulomas and meningitis
  • miliary TB - tiny disseminated tubercles
47
Q

scrofula

A

node TB infection

48
Q

sterile pyuria

A

RBC and WBC in urine, but no bacteria on gram stain

with TB
-mycobacterium tuberculosis

49
Q

Potts disease

A

destroyed IV discs and bodies with TB
