Cardiovascular Flashcards
Mycetismus sanguinari cause
helvella
(it resembles an edible morchella)
(mushroom)
mycetismus sanguinarius ss
hemoglobinuria
hemolysis
jaundice 6-8 h after ingestion-> death
subQ zygomycosis caused by?
besidiobolus ranarum: basidiobolomycosis
delacroixia coronets: conidiobolomycosis
(mold)
subQ zygomycosis (basidiomycosis and conidiomycosis)
location
reservoir
path
basidiobolus ranarum : Africa and Asia soil
reservoid- reptile dung and decay veggies
pathogen- reptilians and amphibians
delacroixia coronatus: Central America Africa India
reservoir- soil
pathogen- insects
basidiomycosis and conidiomycosis transmisison
traumatic implantation
basidiomycosis and conidiomycosis
immunity
path
no immunity
invited and cause granulomas
basidiomycosis
ss
freely movable sub q nodules that are hyper pigmented
associated with lymphatics- causing elephantiasis -
conidiomycosis
ss
nasal swellings that turn into nasal polyps
causing edema of cheeks forehead lips and eyes
basidiomycosis and conidiomycosis
dx
basidiomycosis- septate with swollen ends and large papilla
conidiomycosis- hyphae w terminal conidia
basidiomycosis and conidiomycosis
tx
ketoconazole
Sporotrichosis
cause
sporthrix schenkii
dimorphic mold
Sporotrichosis
epi
worldwide - in decay veg and soil
transmission- traumatic implantation
Sporotrichosis
path
invade lymphatics- causing circumscribed microabcesses
Sporotrichosis
ss
painless nodular necrotic lesions
Follow lymphatic tract from primary lesion
fixed- single ulcer
mucocutaneous- ulcer
pulmonary- lung lesions/ bronchial obstruction
Sporotrichosis
dx
clamydospores in asteroid bodies**
and sugar shaped budding yeast
Sporotrichosis
tx
itraconazole
rhodotulosis caused by?
candida
rhodotorula
sarachomyces
schizosaraco
(monomorphic oppotunistic yeasts)
(mainly seen as a hospital infection-
rhodotulosis
epi
transmission
worldwide
common contaminants of skin lungs etc
transmitted person to person with contaminated needles, cath or equipment
rhodotulosis
path
enter blood and cause fungemia
release compounds that cause pyrogens- due to fermentation byproducts
(after surgery more common infections of these)
rhodotulosis
ss
fever hypotension tacky
endocarditis chills
shock if fungemia
rhodotulosis
dx
individual spherical budding non encapsulated yeast cells
