23
Q

babesiosis

caused by

A

babesia divergens
babesia microti

(protozoan)

24
Q

babesiosis
location

transmission

A

worldwide
northeastern US

transmitted by ticks and blood transfusion

25
babesiosis | life cycle
ticks feed on humans-> get merozoites develop into sporozoites sporozoites injected into new human host during next blood meal
26
babesiosis | what infects us
sporozoites -> turn into merozoites which invade other erythrocytes multiply and release more merozoites
27
babesiosis | path
merozoites live intracellularly in erythrocytes, they multiply and cause cells to burst causing hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia hemoglobinuria and RF
28
babesiosis | which one is fatal/ which is self limiting
b. divergens- fatal in splenectomized patients | b. microti- self limiting
29
babesiosis | immunity
partial
30
babesiosis | ss
jaundice | fever chills headache malaise anorexia myalgia
31
babesiosis | dx
pear shaped merozoites in infected RBCs | mallets cross sign inside RBC
32
babesiosis | tx
clyndamycin and quinine
33
Malaria cause transmission by
``` plasmodium flacifarum (kills most people) plasmodium vivax (most common in US) ``` (protozoan) female anophelees mosquito
34
Malaria | stats
``` #1 killing parasite infection 200-300 million and kills 1 million ``` couple cases in US but not and endemic
35
Malaria | life cycle
mosquitos inject sporozoites go to liver-> form merozoites merozoites invade erythrocytes and multiply gametoxutes develop as well which are picked up by mosquitoo and reproduction occurs in mosquito
36
Malaria | path
rupture of schizonts releasing merozoites from RBC result in liver and anemia removal of waste results in enlargement of liver and spleen
37
malaria | immunity
partial protective immunity to species resistance to vivax- via absence of duffy a and b sickle cell blocks binding of plasmodium falciparum
38
Malaria | ss
``` chills fever headache backache renal failure splenomegaly keratitis photophobia ```
39
Malaria | dx
merozoites schizonts gametocytes seen in blood smears
40
Malaria | tx
cloroquine- vivax primaquine- falciparum doxy- prophylaxis
41
American trypanosomiasis epi transmission
``` trypanozoma cruzi (protozoan) American (armadillos ) ``` transmission via feces of reduviid bug NOT the bite of the bug (also mom to fetus and blood transfusions)
42
American trypanosomiasis | life cycle
metacyclic trip enter and amastigotes develop intracellularly trupomastogote forms in blood / CNS
43
American trypanosomiasis | path
destruction via the growth of amastigones in tissues (like heart and muscle) causing destruction of structure and modifying heart contractions
44
American trypanosomiasis | ss
Romanos sign (swollen eye) fever edema meningoencephalitis cardiac problems - (heart ENLARGES to compensate, also megacolon)
45
American trypanosomiasis | dx
triatomic bugs feed on patient and identify metacyclci trypomastigones in fecal smears from bug
46
American trypanosomiasis | tx
nifurtimox
47
Filariasis | cause
brugia malayi wuchereria bancrofti (nematode)
48
Filariasis | epi
found in tropical areas of the world malayi- humans and non humans bancrofti- humans only
49
Filariasis | life cycle
from mosquitoes into humans in a bite microfilaria leave mosquitos and turn into adult worms in the lymph of humans mosquitos infected 12-14 days after a blood meal
50
Filariasis | path
slowing of lymph causes inflammation of lymphatic vessels
51
Filariasis | ss
chills fever wheezing coughing chronic lymphedema enlarged lymph nodes and lymphangitis Years of exposure- elephantiasis of limbs and genitals
52
Filariasis | dx
microfilaria- in sac like death in lymph node biopsies
53
Filariasis | tx
diethylcarbamazine
