Q

How does one get toxoplasmosis what causes it and how does it spread?

A
  • Cats are the host and it is spread through cat feces (oocyte) and raw meat (cyst)
    • both give rise to motile tachyzoite
  • tachyzoites can spread transplacentally to cause congenital infection

A
  • non specific febrile illness with lymphadenopathy
  • maternal infection usually asx
    • can result in still birth or severe neuro deficiency
  • can cause chorioretinints and intracranial calcifications

Q

Parvovirus B19 what does it cause in kids and what does it do to a pregnancy?

A
  • Self limiting febrile illness causing “slapped cheek rash” cytotoxic to erythroid progenitor cells
  • In pregnancy it can lead to fetal loss, fetal anemia, and hydrops fetalis
    • previous infection can lead to fetal protection

Asx: (~90%)

  • can dev SNHL
17

Sepsis, meningitis, pneumonia

21
Q

Group B strep microbiology?

A
  • Gram + cocci in chains
  • Beta hemolytic
    • complete hemolysis
  • Lancefield group B
    • no bacitracin sensitivity
  • Virulence factors are anti phagocytic carb capsule
22
Q

Treatment for GBS?

A

Penicillin G or Ampicillin

23
Q

Post partum Endometritis risk factors?

A
  • Colonization with GBS

Q

How does Actinomyces IUD infection present? Describe Actinomyces.

A

    • it can ascend to involve ovarie and fallopian tubes with PID like sx
  • Actinomyces: anaerobic filamentous gram positive bacteria
26
Q

How to manage lactational mastitis?

A
  • continue breast feeding and empty breast
  • Abx geared to S. aureus:
    • MSSA: use Amoxicillin/clauvulanate
    • MRSA: use Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole
      • dont use if infant <1mo or premature
27
Q

What is penicillinase? What are organisms expressing this sensitive to?

A
  • sub type of beta lactamase enzyme
  • expreseed by bacteria that are sensitive to oxacilllin
28
Q

How does Augmentin (amoxicillin + Clavulanate) work?

A

Clavulanate inhibitis penicillinases allowing the amoxicilin to work

29
Q

Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim MOA’s? What are the AE’s in infants?

A
  • Sulfamethoxazole: folic acid synthesis inhibitors
  • Trimethoprim: DHFR inhibitors
  • Together this is called Bactrim
  • Kernicterus in neonates bc it displaces bilirubin from albumin
