Q

Cell-mediated immunity: T-lymphocytes

A
  • Helper/inducer cells
    T-4 or CD4 cells, secrete lymphokines, increase bone marrow production when needed
  • Suppressor cells

17
Q

Hypersensitivity reactions: Type V Stimulatory Reaction

A

Example: Graves disease

Diagnosis: Thyroid function

Treatment: Anti-thyroid medication

18
Q

Sjogren’s syndrome

A
  • Often appears with other autoimmune disorders
  • Dry eyes, dry mucous membranes of nose and mouth (xerostomia), vaginal dryness
  • Insufficient tears causing inflammation/ ulceration of cornea
  • No cure; intensity and progression can be slowed
19
Q

Goodpasture’s syndrome

A
  • Autoantibodies made against glomerular basement membrane and neutrophils
  • Lungs and kidneys
20
Q

Goodpasture’s syndrome symptoms

A

Shortness of breath

  • hemoptysis
  • Decreased urine output
  • weight gain
  • edema
  • hypertension
  • tachycardia
21
Q

Goodpasture’s syndrome treatment

A
  • Treatment: high-dose corticosteroids

- May require dialysis or kidney transplant

22
Q

HIV pathophysiology

A
  • Retrovirus
  • Genetic material is RNA, single stranded ribonucleic acid
  • Reverse transcriptase (RT) is used to convert ss-RNA into ds-DNA
  • Integrase enzyme allows the viral ds-DNA to be inserted into the ds-DNA of the host
23
Q

HIV diagnostic testing

A
  • Positive test from an HIV antibody screening test (ELISA) confirmed by a positive result from a supplemental HIV antibody test (Western blot or IFA)
24
Q

HIV symptoms: Early

A
  • Rash and sore throat
25
Q

HIV symptoms: Late

A
  • Life-threatening opportunistic infections

- death

26
Q

HIV Stages: Stage 1

A
  • Confirmed HIV infection

- CD4 T-cell count > 500 cells mm3

27
Q

HIV Stages: Stage 2

A
  • Confirmed HIV infection
  • CD4 T-cell count between 200 and 499 cells mm3
  • Greater than 500 is normal.
28
Q

HIV stages: Stage 3

A
  • Confirmed HIV infection

- CD4 T-cell count < 200 cells mm3 or > 200 with a documented AIDS defining illness

29
Q

HIV stages: Stage 4

A
  • Confirmed HIV infection
  • No other information regarding CD4 cell counts or AIDS defining illness
  • You do not know the answers to the question
30
Q

HIV Patient teaching

A
  • Avoid crowds
  • Don’t share personal toilet articles
  • Bathe daily
  • Clean toothbrush weekly
  • Wash hands
  • Do not change pet litter boxes
  • Take temp. once a week
  • Report temp >100 F, persistent cough, pus or drainage from area, presence of boil, cloudy urine
  • Take medication
  • Safe sex
  • Avoid Travel to poor conditions
31
Q

HIV medication: Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs)

A
  • zidovudine
  • To treat HIV infection in adults and children 4 weeks of age and older.
  • To prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV
32
Q

HIV medication: Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs)

A
  • delavirdine

- prevent HIV from multiplying and can reduce the amount of HIV in the body

33
Q

HIV medication: Protease Inhibitors (PIs)

A
  • atazanavir

- prevent HIV from multiplying and can reduce the amount of HIV in the body.

34
Q

HIV medication: Fusion Inhibitors

A
  • enfuvirtide
  • For people whose HIV infection is not well controlled by ongoing treatment with other HIV medicines
  • block HIV from getting into and infecting certain cells of the immune system
35
Q

HIV medication: Entry inhibitors

A
  • maraviroc
  • When attaches to the CCR5 coreceptor, certain strains of HIV—called R5 tropic virus—cannot attach to, enter, or infect the cell.
  • should be used only in people whose strain of HIV uses the CCR5 coreceptor.
36
Q

HIV medication: Integrase inhibitors

A
  • raltegravir

- Integrase inhibitors block an HIV enzyme called integrase
