cvs 4 Flashcards
zero order kinetics
WATTP Warfarin Aspirin Theophyline Tolbutamied Phenytoin
constant amount of drug is metabolized
zero
fraction metabolized
first order
how many half lives to steady state
4 5
which bugs stain with zheil nelson
Myocobacterium
Nocardia
Cryptosporidium oocyst
M tb
gram +
acid fast
mycolic acid
acid fast stain
smear is first treated with aniline dye ( carbolfuchism)
the red dye penetrates throught the bacterial cell wall where it binds to MYCOLIC acids..
- then slide is treated with alcohol and hydrochloric acid — this dissolves the outer membrane and non tb bacteriabut the presence of MYOCOLIC acid prevents decolorization of bacteria.
- counter stain methylyne blue is added … non tb will stain blue
serpentine snake like virulence factor
cord factor
myocolic acid forms long BCFA / cord factor
what prevents phagolysosome formation
sulfatides
no rigid wall bugs
CREAM Chlamydia Rickettsia Ehrlichia Anaplasma Mycoplasma/ ureaplasma
MTB replication takes place IN
alveoli
macrophages cannot destroy it initially
cell mediated immunity required — TH1—> IFNgamma—>macrophages—-> TNFalpha
what can destroy MTB
acidification
V/Q is low at
base
Primary TB infection
inhalation
LOWER lobe
unchecked virulence factors
areas of infection — ghon focus in lower lobe
what makes a ghon complex
ghon focus + I/L hilar lymph node
what happens to ghon complex in few weeks
the granuloma gets fibrosed and calcified
this fibrosed and calcified ghon complex is known as RANKE COMPLEX
reactivation of TB in which lobe
upper
what is milary TB
progressive primary tb
failed immune resp
adrenal gland/liver
M. scrofulaceum
scrofula cervical lymphadenitis
M. marinarum
aquarium handlers
hand
M. avium intracellulare
CD4 <100 HIV AIDS
txt —– azithromycin (macrolide)
name a cachectin
TNF alpha
cough / hemoptysis weight loss
PPD postive means
previous exposure / active infection
PPD negatiev
- infection
HIV CD4 count low
in nocardia infection — weak acid fast
sarcoidosis CD4 CD8 ratio
INCREASED
CD4 —- consumes NCG
gold standard tb test
IGRA
quantiferon test
langhwan giant cells —– cd 14
catalase positive rod shape weakly acid fast
nocardia
branching filaments
