Q

bacterial vaginosis

A

change of vaginal flora
- menstrual cycle, antibiotic use, changes in PH (normal 4.5)
Lactobacillus acidophilus - lowers Ph and suppresses growth of bad bacteria in the vagina
(ask about protective nature on exam)

Leptospirosis

A

Leprospira interrogans (gram negative motile spirochete)
zoonosis - contamination with animal urine
membrane of nose, mouths, eyes or skin abrasion, can burrow through palms and soles
enters flood and is filtered by the kidneys (live in tubules of nephrons)

11
Q

STI
SS

A

should use infection vs diseases, can cause a delay in treatment
abnormal discharge, sores/blisters, painful urination, bleeding or unusual mensural cramps, itching, pain during intercorse

- endotoxin that damages fallopian tubes, enzymes that destroy antibodies

13
Q

Chlamydia

A

Chlamydia trachomatis
- spherical obligate intercellular bacteria
- mimics gonorrhoeae infections, cannot culture organism
- most commonly reported

- 75% infected women have no symptoms

14
Q

Syphilis

A

Treponema palladium

- chancre, ulcers on the genitals - will heal on their own in 4-6 weeks

15
Q

Untreated syphilis

A

2-10 weeks after
- runny nose, watery eyes, aches and pains, rash with palms and soles (can cause hair to fall out)
- any fluid from the rash is infectious
