Chap 32: Management of Patients with Immune Deficiency Disorders Flashcards
fungal infection, usually of skin or mucous membranes, caused by Candida species
CANDIDIASIS
a blood test that can determine the presence of antibodies to HIV in the blood or saliva; a variant of this test is called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
ENZYIME IMMUNOASSAY (EIA)
the integrated HIV provirus within the CD4+ T cell during the resting memory state; does not express viral proteins and is invisible to the immune system and antiviral medications
LATENT RESERVOIR
clinical syndrome characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive, behavioral, and motor functions
HIV ENCEPHALOPATHY
retrovirus isolated and recognized as the etiologic agent of HIV disease
HIV-1
malignancy that involves the epithelial layer of blood
and lymphatic vessels
KAPOSI SARCOMA
a syndrome that results from rapid restoration of pathogen-specific immune responses to opportunistic infections
Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS)
: opportunistic infection caused by mycobacterial organisms that commonly causes a respiratory illness but can also infect other body systems
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC)
illness caused by various organisms, some of which typically do not cause disease in people with normal immune
systems
OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTION
disorder characterized by sensory loss, pain, muscle weakness, and wasting of muscles in the hands or legs and feet
PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
common opportunistic lung infection; pathogen implicated is Pneumocystis jirovecii
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP)
a sensitive laboratory technique
that can detect and quantify HIV in a person’s blood or lymph nodes
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
prevention method for HIV-negative
people who are at high risk of HIV infection; involves taking a specific
combination of HIV medicines daily; use with condoms and other
prevention tools
polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
rare, genetic disorders that impair the immune system
PRIMARY IMMUNE DEIFICIENCY DISEASES (PIDDs)
