Chronic Disease And Infection Flashcards
Name some of the infections that a patient with CF may be predisposed to?
H infleunza, Staph aureus, psedomonasaerginosa, burkholder cepcia, atypical mycobateria, candida albicans, aspergillus funglis
How does CF lead to an increased risk of CF
There is a defect in the CL- transembrane regulators, and the mucus is dehdryated and starts to blok small ducts, the mucociliary escaltaot does not work and therefore lungs start to be colonised and occupied by different organism
What are some of the bacterial causes of a acute exaberation of TB?
Morexlla, xathaliis, H influena, S. Pneumonaie,Ps aerginosa, E coli
What are some of the viral causes of an acute exaberation of TB?
Cornavirsus, adenovirus, Influenza A virus, Parainfluenza virsus, rhinovirsus and respiratory synacticla virus
What are some of the mechanisms that mean that bacteira can predispose to certain infections?
Hyperglycemia and acidemia impair humoral immunity and polymorphonuclear leuckocyte and lymphocyte infection, diabteic mircovascular and macrovascular diseases cause poor tissue perfusion and an increased risk of infection, and diabtetic neurpoathy that cause a loss of sensation
What is a common causative organism for malignant pr necrotising ottis externa?
Pseudomonas aerginosa
What is maligant or necrotising ottis externa>
Infection and damage of the ones of the outer ear and the base of the skull
What are some of the causes of rhinocerebral mucomyocytosis?
Mould and fungi, particulary seen in people with poorly contolled diabtetes
How can diabtetes predispose to urinary tract infections?
Neruogenic bladder, diabetic neuropathy, defects in bladder emptying
Why might diabetes predispose towards skin infections?
Sensory neuropathy and ascular disease
What are some of the causative organsims for skin infections in dibates>
Staph suresu, pseudomonnas aerginosa
What are some of the risks in downs syndorme>
