A
36
Q

Organisms of T.cruzi appear in the blood at bout how many days

A
37
Q

What does high levels of albumin found in the CSF correlate to

A
38
Q

Upon entry of T.cruzi to regional lymph nodes, what does the organism do

A

They transform into amastigotes upon ingestion by histiocytes

(Alternatively, trypomastigotes may actively invade
macrophages and other cells. Evidence suggests that
lectin-like carbohydrate interactions are involved in
the binding of trypanosomes to the host cell. A protein
on the surface of the trypomastigote has been shown
to bind to N-acetylglucosamine on the host cell.)

39
Q

After local multiplication, what form form does the organism assume as they enter the blood allowing them to infect all parts of the body

A

(In the amastigote form, parasites can multiply within the cells of every organs/tissue)

40
Q

Consists of an intense inflammatory reaction, with invasion of histiocytes, adipose cells and adjacent muscle cells, and of the area by neutrophilic leukocytes and lymphocytes

A
41
Q

Which cells are prone to infection by T.cruzi

A

Kupffer cells, macrophages of the spleen, and cardiac muscles

42
Q

What happens in cardiomegaly?

A

The heart weight increases and all chambers (especially the righ ventricle) become dilated

43
Q

Can T.cruzi mimic host antigens to survive?

A
44
Q

Some info about immunity (idk how to question na)

A
  • Host resistance to T. cruzi infection involves both
    humoral and cellular responses.
  • Antibody-mediated immunity has been shown to
    be associated mainly with the IgG class of immunoglobulins.
    Lysis of trypomastigotes by complement
    is related to the complement activation by way of
    the alternative pathway. Cell-mediated resistance
    includes killing of trypomastigotes by activated
    macrophages and by neutrophils and eosinophils
    through antibody-dependent mechanisms.
45
Q

T.cruzi require what to achieve optimal growth and pathogenicity

A
46
Q

Where was the organism first found in? Who found it?

A

It was first found in reduviid bug (Cone-nose bugs or triatomids) by Carlos Chagas.

47
Q

Treatment for T.cruzi

A
  • Nifurtimox (inhibits intracellular development)
  • Beznidazole (inhibits nucleic acid synthesis)
  • Allopurinol (treatment for T.cruzi and leishmaniases)

Also known as African sleeping sickness

What disease does trypanosoma brucei brucei cause

A
55
Q

Is nagana disease harmful for humans?

A
56
Q

How does the laboratory distinguish the three types of Trypanosoma brucei

A
57
Q

Laboratory diagnosis of T. brucei gambiense

A

Just familiarize except for Blood examination, Spinal fluid examination, Fluid aspirate from ulcer/lymph nodes (Winterbottom sign), Inoculation into the usual laboraory animals, TrpTect CIATT, and Serum and spinal fluid IgM measurements (Ultracentrifugation of serum usually demonstrate 4x greater its amount due to the disease antigenic variability)

58
Q

Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is transmitted through

A
59
Q

How long is the asymptomatic incubation period of T. brucei gambiense for africans? how about non africans?

A
60
Q

Ulceration of the area of bite that presents with pain and slowly disappear that is much more common to non-africans

A
61
Q

Can T. brucei gambiense invade the lymphatic tissue?

A
62
Q

Involved in the elimination of antibody-sensitized trypanosomes

A
63
Q

Invasion of lymph nodes by T.brucei gambiense is accompanied by

A
64
Q

During fever, trypanosomes may be found in ______ numbers in the circulating blood

A
65
Q

Which is the most common lymph node that if infected during invasion of T.brucei gambiense? What is it called as?

A
66
Q

True or false?

The infection may terminate without overt nervous
system involvement, or this may occur at any time
after the patient develops symptoms of infection.

A
67
Q

What is the basis of the beginning of nervous system involvement by T.brucei gambiense

A

Lassitude and apathy common in the later stages of the glandular phase

(There is steady progression in development
of meningoencephalitis, with general deterioration
of the patient and increase of apathy, fatigability,
confusion, and somnolence.)

68
Q

Neurologic signs develop late and may cause changes in

A
69
Q

Sign indicated by severe pain short time after pressure on the palm of the hand/over the ulnar nerve is done

A
70
Q

True or false

In the final stages of the disease there may be profound character changes and mental detoriation

A

True
(may lead to hemiplegia, incontinence of urine and feces, and patient becomes harder to arose and finally leading to comatose)

71
Q

Is there an amastiote form of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense?

A

Yes (It was found in experimental animals early in the infection in the choroid plecus)

72
Q

True or false

Overt infection involves particularly the glands early in the disease and the CNS in its later stages

A

False. Lymphoid tisses in early stages

73
Q

Trypanosoma brucei gambiense cause Hypergammaglobulinemia, what does this refer to

A
74
Q

What is the mechanism of evasion of T. brucei gambiense

A
75
Q

True or false

Presence of an elevated serum IgM level effectively
rules out trypanosomiasis, whereas no detectable level
in the cerebrospinal fluid is diagnostic for CNS
trypanosomiasis.

A

False baliktad

76
Q

True or false

T. brucei gambiense can occur outside the bloodstream and can be sometimes found in the grey and white matter

A
77
Q

Is the primary-presenting cells regulationg immune reacitivty in the CNS parenchyma

A
78
Q

Where are T. brucei gambiense usually found? what type of tsetse fly is it most common?

A
79
Q

What are the animal reservoirs of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense

A
80
Q

Treatment for T.b. gambiense

A

Melarsopol- all stages
Suramin- Less toxic for early stages (Enzyme inhibitor that is only taken by trypanosomes and not mammalian cells)
Pentamidine- Interacts with the kinetoplast DNA of trypanosomes
Eflornithine- Effective for all stages of gambiense but not rhodesiense
