Q

The three factors that

have been identified as having importance in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis include:

Q

Clinical manifestations of infective endocarditis include:

A

fever, heart murmur, fatigue, anemia,
arthralgia, myalgia, splinter hemorrhages (nail bed) and Roth spots (retinal) hemorrhages, not absolutely specific to IE)

24
Q

complications of infective endocarditis

A

a. rupture of chordae tendineae
b. spread of infection into myocardium or aorta
c. thromboembolism with infarction
d. septic thrombi with metastatic abscesses
e. valvular dysfunction and CHF

25
Q

Acute Endocarditis

A

short time and large destruction with highly virulent pathogen on normal valves

26
Q

subacute endocarditis

A

long time and little destruction with low virulent pathogen on abnormal valves

27
Q

Vasculitis

A

inflammation of the blood vessels, causes changes in the vessel wall, caused my infection of the endothelial cells usually

28
Q

other causes of vasculitis

A

microorganisms and Other causes include mechanical trauma, toxins, caustic substances, radiation and immune complexes.

29
Q

vasculitis classifications

A

large vessel
medium vessel
small vessel

30
Q

large vessel

A 
Giant cell (temporal) arteritis- vasculitis of vessels in the head. 
Takayasu arteritis- vasculitis of the aorta and sometimes pulmonary artery. affecting young and middle aged asian women.
31
Q

medium vessels

A 
Polyarteritis nodosa (classic)- ("vasculitis") causing injury to organ systems. The areas most commonly affected by PAN include the nerves, intestinal tract, heart, and joints
Kawasaki syndrome - includes coronary arteries.
32
Q

small vessels

A

Microscopic polyarteritis - affects mainly capillaries and arterioles
Wegener’s granulomatosis - generally affects your kidneys, lungs and upper respiratory tract.

33
Q

anti-endothelial cell antibodies associated with…

A

kawasaki syndrome

34
Q

Anti-proteinase-3 (anti-PR3) - diffuse cytoplasmic distribution (formerly known as cANCA) associated with….

A

Wegeners granulomatosis

35
Q

Anti-myeloperoxidase (anti-MPO) - perinuclear localization (formerly known as pANCA) associated with…

A

Microscopic polyarteritis

36
Q

Fever, weight loss, headache, visual problems (including blindness), claudication of jaw (weakness when chewing due to decreased blood supply), pain and tenderness over temporal artery, polymyalgia rheumatica. Rare under the age of 50 years.

A

Giant cell (temporal) arteritis

37
Q

Giant cell arteritis pathology

A

giant cell involved in Granulomatous inflammation and fibrosis, leading to narrowing of vessels and decreased blood flow to affected areas

38
Q

Thickening of the wall reduces blood flow in the major branches off the aortic arch (“pulseless disease” due to weak pulses in the arms). Usually affects young women. May be the same disease as temporal arteritis, but in a younger patient.

A

Takayasu Arteritis

39
Q

Takayasu Arteritis pathology

A

Granulomatous inflammation with fibrosis involving the aortic arch and the arch branches.

40
Q

Fever, weight loss, hematuria, renal failure, hypertension, abdominal pain, melena. Clinical presentation may be very confusing due to involvement of multiple organ systems.

A

Polyarteritis nodosa

41
Q

Polyarteritis nodosa pathology

A

Acute lesions show fibrinoid necrosis, thrombosis, neutrophils, aneurysms. With healing there is predominance of macrophages and plasma cells; progressive fibrous scarring.

42
Q

Polyarteritis nodosa usually occurs….

A

kidneys (85%), heart (75%), liver (65%), and GI tract (50%).

43
Q

Affects infants and young children (80% of patients

A

Kawasaki Disease

44
Q

Etiology- It is suspected that a viral infection triggers a hypersensitivity reaction. AKA: mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome

A

Kawasaki disease

45
Q

Microscopic Polyangiitis etiology

A

Often due to antigen-antibody complexes.

46
Q

Fever, rash, joint swelling, pleural effusion, pulmonary infiltrates, myocarditis, GI bleeding, renal failure, presence of circulating anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies (MPO-ANCA). May be precipitated by drugs, microorganisms, foreign proteins or tumor proteins.

A

Microscopic Polyangiitis

47
Q

Pathology: Involves arterioles, capillaries, venules. Fibrinoid necrosis, neutrophils (leukocytoclastic vasculitis).

A

Microscopic Polyangiitis

48
Q

Involves sinuses, lungs and kidneys (glomerulonephritis). Associated with the presence of anti-neutrophilic cytoplasmic antibodies direct against proteinase 3 (PR3-ANCA).

A

Wegener Granulomatosis

49
Q

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger Disease)

A

Endothelial injury from a substance in cigarette smoke

50
Q

Usually begins before age 35. Pain and ischemia in extremities

A

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger Disease)

51
Q

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger Disease)

A

Segmental acute and chronic vasculitis mainly in extremities with thrombosis.

52
Q

another name for DISSECTING AORTIC HEMATOMA

A

aneurysm

53
Q

what is DISSECTING AORTIC HEMATOMA

A

Longitudinal tear of the aortic media which begins in the ascending aorta and extends variable distance proximal (toward the heart) and distal to the descending aorta.

54
Q

complications with dissecting aortic hematoma

A

severe hemorrhage from rupture, organ ischemia due to luminal compression by the expanding hematoma.

55
Q

predisposing factors for dissecting aortic hematoma

A
  1. hypertension,

2. inherited connective tissue disorders (i.e., Marfan’s syndrome) with medial degeneration.
