Genus:
- Chlamydia
- Rickettsia
Match: Encapsulated diplococci that are coffee-bean shaped
Gonorrhea
Match: VF includes proteins that can bind to T cell receptors and inhibit the immune response
Gonorrhea
A man comes into the hospital complaining about pain in his testicles and has painful urination. He notes that he also has discharge that is creamy and yellow in color. What disease does he likely have? How would you go about diagnosising this PT?
Gonorrhea
Diagnosis:
- Urine test or oral/urethral-rectal swab
- PCT
- Culture
What is the most common bacterial STD in the US
Genital Chlamydia
MATCH: Diagnosing can be done via nucleic acid amplification tests
Genital chlamydia
What is usually unique to diseases that are spirochetes?
SXS usually incude multiple (3) stages
Seen in Lyme Disease (arthropod) and Syphillis (contact)
What is the most common non-viral STD in the US
Trichomoniasis
Which disease(s) contain VF of invading and replicating in epithelial cells and conatin 2 morphological forms
(Both are from Genus Chlamydia)
- Trachoma (Non-sexual disease)
- Genital Chlamydia
Match: VF include proteins in the CW that bind to T cell receptors and inhibt the immune response
Gonorrhea
Which contact disease(s) are capable of causing neonatal conjunctivitis (Ophthalmia neonatorum) in infants?
Gonorrhea
Genital Chlamydia
Match: This disease has the highest infection rates in teens/young adults
Gonorrhea
Match: Diagnosed by NAAT that is performed on vaginal/urethral swabs or urine
Genital Chlamydia
Match: CA is Treponema pallidum
Syphilis
Match: VF includes a lipid outer layer that makes it a weak immunogen
Syphilis
A patient came into the hospital complaining of rashes on their palms and soles. Upon further inspection, the doctor notices these rashes are flat, skin/mucosal rashes. The doctor asks the patient if he has experienced anything unusal on his body prior to when symptoms of the rashes appeared. The patient notes that he previously had sores, but they were not painful and went away over time. What is likely the diagnosis for this disease? What other symptoms will this patient likely develop later on?
Syphilis
In the third stage:
- Soft, tumor-like lesions (gummas)
- Arthtiris
- Cardiovascular damage = Cardiovascular syphilis
- Neurological damage/dementia = Neurosyphilis
Match:This disease can result in developmental damage to the fetus and result in stillbirths
Syphilis
Match: Women are symptomatic, while men are usually asymptomatic. Women experience a frothy, greenish-yellow discharge that emits a foul odor.
Trichomoniasis
Match: VF includes a sharp point for anchoring to epithelial cells
Trichomoniasis
Match: VF includes that ability to hide in the NS, indicating this is a latent viral infection
Genital Herpes
Name all the diseases assoviated with HHV
(ex: HHV1 = ? ; HHV2 = ?)
HHV1 = Cold sores
HHV2 = Genital Herpes
HHV3 = Chickenpox
HHV8 = HIV cancer -> Kaposi Sarcoma
Match: Painful, fluid filled vesicles on the genitals that have reurrent outbreaks
Genital Herpes
Name ALL diseases that are a part of Herpesviridae family (can come from any lecture)
- Chickenpox
- Shingles
- Genital herpes
Match: 1 in 4 adults over 30 years old are infected in the US
Genital Herpes
Match: This disease contains a virus that can cross the placental barrier and damage the CNS of the fetus, resulting in developmental delays, blindness, and hearing loss
Genital Herpes
Name all contact diseases that are caused by a DNA viruses
Genital Herpes
Hepatitis B
Name all contact diseases that are caused by an RNA virus
Hepatitis C
HIV/AIDS
Match: This viral disease can be prevented with a vaccine and education/safe sex practices
Hepatitis B
Match: This disease is transmitted through sexual contact and accidental needle sticks
Hepatitis B
Match: This viral disease does NOT have a vaccine, so the best form of prevention is universally safe precations/handling of blood
Hepatitis C
Match: This diseases is transmitted through contaminated blood, such as blood transfusions, tattoos, and IV drug users
Hepatitis C
Match: No treatment is availiable for this disease, but you can manage it via antivirals, interferon injection, or a liver transplant
Hepatitis B
Match: There is no treatment for this disease, but you can manage it by taking daily antiirals for several months; however, these are extremly expensive
Hepatitis C
