Q

virulence factor for streptococcal respiratory disease?

A

-M protein
-Hyaluronic acid capsule
-Streptokinases
-C5a peptidase
-Pyrogenic toxins
-Streptolysins

17
Q

virulence factor for tuberculosis?

A

Mycolic acid directly responsible for unique characteristics of pathogen
-cord factor

18
Q

virulence factor for influenza?

A

Genomes are extremely variable.
Antigenic shift
Antigenic drift

19
Q

how does streptococcal respiratory disease affect the body?

A

Infects the throat but the disease is temporary

20
Q

how does tuberculosis affect the body?

A

Macrophages in alveoli phagocytize organisms but cannot digest them. Bacteria replicate freely within macrophages, gradually killing them, cycle repeats itself. T cells produce lymphokines that attract and activate more macrophages and trigger inflammation. Collagen fibers enclose granuloma

Reactivated: organism ruptures granuloma. Bacteria spread through lungs via bronchioles, macrophages carry pathogen via blood and lymph to variety of sites

21
Q

how does influenza affect the body?

A

Infects cells in the upper and lower respiratory tract. Lytic replication cycle eliminates the lungs first line of defense.

22
Q

signs and symptoms for streptococcal respiratory disease?

A

Back of pharynx red, swollen lymph nodes, purulent abscesses over tonsils, pain during swallowing, fever, malaise, headache, can cause laryngitis and bronchitis.
Scarlet fever, pharyngitis, acute glomerulonephritis

23
Q

signs and symptoms for tuberculosis?

A

Not initially apparent and may be limited to minor cough and mild fever
Fatigue, malaise, chest pain, wheezing, and cough up blood

24
Q

signs and symptoms for influenza?

A

Symptoms due to cytokines. Sudden fever, pharyngitis, congestion, dry cough, malaise, headache, myalgia

25
Q

epidemiology for streptococcal respiratory disease?

A

A human adapted pathogen
Winter and spring among elementary and middle school children
Is sensitive to antimicrobial drugs

26
Q

epidemiology for tuberculosis?

A

1.7 billion people were infected with TB
Responsible for the second highest number of deaths worldwide due to an infectious disease
Greatest risk of infection: low immunity people

27
Q

epidemiology for influenza?

A

Changing antigens guarantee there will always be susceptible people
Some people are carriers

28
Q

diagnosis for streptococcal respiratory disease?

A

Some estimate that <50% of pts. Diagnosed with strep have it. Most have viral pharyngitis
-serological testing

29
Q

diagnosis for tuberculosis?

A

TB skin test
Cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction
Chest x ray
Sputum sample

30
Q

diagnosis for influenza?

A

Flu signs and symptoms during a community wide outbreak are often sufficient for diagnosis

31
Q

treatment for streptococcal respiratory disease?

A

Oral or intramuscular penicillin G, penicillin V, or amoxicillin

32
Q

treatment for tuberculosis?

A

Common antimicrobials have little effect
Pyrazinamide with INH, rifampin and either streptomycin or ethambutol

33
Q

treatment for influenza?

A

Two drugs available: tamiflue and Relenza

34
Q

prevention of streptococcal respiratory disease?

A

Antibodies against M protein
Keep sick children isolated

35
Q

prevention of tuberculosis?

A

Antibacterial drugs used prophylactically
BCG vaccine (attenuated)

36
Q

prevention of influenza?

A

Immunization with a multivalent vaccine, culling infected birds, good personal hygeiene
