Q

verrucae / condyloma acuminatum - pathogenesis

A
  • HPV infects underdifferentiated epithelial cells in the stratum basal then -> ascends thru upper layers -> infects terminally differentiated squamous cells = koilocytes
    • HPV 6, 11 (m/c - low malignant risk)
    • HPV 16, 18 (high malignant risk)

Q

kaposi sarcoma - pathogenesis

A
  • HHV-8 infection of endothelial cells (capillary lining) leading to -> angioproliferative diseases, the progression of which depends on the demographic infected
    • IC (AIDS / transplant recipients): fulminant (rapid) progression

    • fulminant lesions: joint, GI
  • skin: reddish-purple vascularized macules -> progress into tumors / nodules
    • genetic (indolent) lesions: on lowers limbs

A
  • prognosis: is a latent incurable infection (HHV-8) though asymptomatic (rarely, multi-organ failure in fulminant pts)
  • therapy:
    • removal
    • radiation

Q

identify lesions

A

kaposi sarcoma

reddish-purple vascularized macular / maculopapular nodes on exposed skin / mucous membranes

17
Q

cutaneous tuberculosis

  • pathogenesis
  • presentation
  • diagnosis
A
  • pathogenesis. m tuberulosis (acid-fast aerobic bacillus) forms caseating (necrotic) granulomas
    • ​can be triggered by BCG vaccination
  • presentation: depends on if infection of primary or secondary:
    • primary: enters skin via trauma sites
      • no prior exposure to TB - > papule / nodule (“innoculation chancre”
      • rrior exposure to TB -> warty lesions (“verrucosa cutis”)
    • secondary: patient with TB In lung that dissseminates
      • tuburculoid granulomas
        • red-brown
        • painless
        • on the head or the neck
  • diagnosis:
    • Mantoux test / IGRA test (no false + from vax)
    • lesions beomes yellow-brown “apple jelly” upon application of pressure
19
Q

leprosy / hansen’s disease

  • pathogenesis
  • presentation
  • diagnosis
  • prevention:
A
  • pathogenesis: m. leprae (acid fast bacillus) -> type IV hypersenstivity reaction -> granulomas (caseating and non-caseating)
  • presentation: 3 forms - all hypoesthetic
    • tuberculoid form: mild, confined to skin and peripheral nerves
      • ceseating granulomas (necrotic): tuberculoid granulomas:
        • ​on buttocks / back / extremities / face
    • lepreomatous form: severe, in cool superficial locations:
      • non-caseating granulomas: surrounded by foamy macrophages
    • ENL (erythema nodosum leprosum): major cause of blindness
  • complications:
    • possible orchitis
    • erythema nodosum lepromus - a reaction to therapy for leprosy / hansens
      • = ​panniculitis: red, hot painful papules
  • prevention: BCG vaccine
20
Q

compare and contrast the etiological agents of

  • cutaneous tuberulosis
  • leprosy / hansen’s disease
A
  • both are acid fast aerobic bacillus
    • m. tuberulosis:
      • NOT an obligate intracellular pathogen
      • growth NOT restricted at 37 C
    • m. leprae is
      • obligate intracellulate
      • growoth restricted at 37 C
21
Q

what type of mycobacterium infection leads thickened dermis with no visible lesions?

A

diffuse lepromatus

22
Q

treatment of leprosy / hansen’s can lead to what reaction?

how does it present?

A
  • erythema nodosum (panniculitis): lesions that are
    • red
    • hot
    • painful
