Cross: NON-inflammatory Diarrhea Flashcards
causes on Non-Inflammatory D
“EEEVVVSB”
ETEC EPEC EAEC Vibrio cholera Vibrio parahemolyticus Vibro vulnificus Staph aureus Bacillus cereus
define NI diarrhea
no cells in stool watery LARGER volume afebrile SMALL INTESTINE affected
major cause of traveler’s D
ETEC
also C jejuni
rarely EAEC
ETEC pathogenesis
1-5 days course of watery D
LT and ST
LT=similar to cholera-inc cAMp-inc Cl-secretion from crypts=Na+ and H2O collow=water D
ST=activated cGMPcl secretion-watery D
cGMP activation=water D
=heat stabile toxin
cAMP activation=watery D
=heat labile toxin
Profuse watery D, Vomitting and dehydration in developing countries= children <6 mos to 2 years old
EPEC
pathogenesis of EPEC
LEE PAI like EHEC
attachement and effacing through pedastal like strcutures stick it to GI mucosa
NO SHIGA TOXIN PRODUCED-unlike EHEC
does EPEC make a shiga toxin
HELL NAW-but it does enter mucosa with LEE like EHEC
EAEC pathogensis
NOT UNDERSTOOD
*affects children, HIV pt.’s travellers D
neonatal menigitis
E. coli- encapsulated strains (K1 antigen)
90% of UTI (more commonly in females)
UPEC
virulence factors incldue
P fimbriae (PAP pilli) and a capsule (K1 antigen)
curved comma shaped GNR-polar flagella
-motile, oxidase positive,
vibrio sp.
oxidase positive
vibrio
environment for cholera
warm months
salt water-SE asia and Africa, SAmerica
-after natural disasters-fecally contaminated water
5-10 million cases annually
main animal reservoir for vibrio cholera
shellfish-raw oysters
