Q

effects of ehec

A

hemolytic uremic syndrome: too much hemolysis overwhelms kidneys, can’t keep up. less severe inhibits protein synthesis in rbcs (b/c of shiga toxin) resulting in capillary leakage, bloody diarrhea

earliest possible to latest:

viral pcr, viral antigen, antibody (3rd, 2nd, 1st gen)

29

impetigo

34
Q

steps of hiv infection

A

gp41+120 binding to cd4+ccr5/cxcr4 –> fusion with cd4 cell –> rt –> integrase incorporates into host genome –> production of viral proteins –> protease cleaves these to make viral capsid
