Q

What are the 7 steps in the HIV life cycle?

A
  1. Attachment (bind to host cell CD4)
  2. Fusion (inject into cell)
  3. Reverse transcriptase (transcribe info into DsDNA
  4. Intergration (transport of DNA into host cell DNA)
  5. Protein production
  6. Packaging and Budding (exocytosis before moving on to other cells)
  7. Protease (maturation of budded virus)

Q

What kind of bug is Mycobacterium Tuberculosis?

A

Non-motile bacillus
Straight rod
Obligate anaerobe
Acid fast bacillus

17
Q

Describe difference between TB infection and disease?

A

TB infection means bacillus has been taken up by macrophages and is within body, but not causing active disease

18
Q

Interferon gamma tests measure what for TB?

A

Measure the immune response to TB

Antigens are: ESAT-6 and CFP-10

19
Q

Standard treatment for TB? (NICE guideline)

A

Rifampicin + Isoniazid for 6mths (10mths CNS disease) AND

Ethambutol + Pyrazinamide for 2mths

20
Q

Treatment for a positive skin test or positive interferon release assay?

A

Isoniazid 6mths

Isoniazid + rifampcin 2mths

21
Q

When after commencing treatment are TB patients considered non-infectious?

A

After 2 weeks of treatment

22
Q

Who is at risk for severe malarial disease?

A

Asplenia
Sickle cell disease
Immunocompromised

23
Q

What is first line treatment for malaria?

A

Quinine
Note: induces hyperinsulinism
Quinine resistance is Rare (as hens teeth)

24
Q

Define Multi-drug resistant TB?

A

Resistant to Isoniazid & Rifampicin

25
Q

Define Extensively drug resistant TB?

A 
Resistance to;
Isoniazid +
Rifampicin +
Fluoroquinolones +
One of three of; Amikacin, capreomycin, kanamycin
26
Q

Number of new cases of TB worldwide per year?

A

8.7 million new cases

27
Q

Number of deaths secondary to TB worldwide?

A

1.4 million deaths (3800 deaths per day)

28
Q

Risk fo Vertical transmission HIV if Mum on ART?

A

<2%

**without treatment is as high as 35%

29
Q

Why are ARTs ineffective at treating latent HIV infection?

A

Only target replicating virus (latent infection means virus is not replicating)
