Q

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome

A

o Coded character: Chanelle O’conner/seen in women with PID. Ascending, polymicrobial infection of the female genital tract that can involve the endometrium, uterine tube, and/or peritoneal cavity. House is full of adhesions from the roof to a hippo/infection of the liver capsule and “violin string” adhesions of peritoneum to liver. Perihepatitis is a complication that presents with RUQ pain. She’s profusely sweating + has discharge from her vagina/classic triad is fever + abdominal pain + vaginal discharge. Robby Page is licking up the discharge/caused by gonococci.
o Location: Hallweaver’s house on P street.

25
legionella treatment
macrolide or *quinolone
26
legionnaires presentation
severe pneumonia (unilateral, lobar) + fever + GI + *CNS symptoms
27
legionnaires common in...
smokers + chronic lung disease
28
what is pontiac fever?
mild flu like syndrome caused by legionella
29
other pseudomonas toxin
phospholipase C (degrades cell membrane)
30
pseudomonas capsule...significance
1) mucoid polysaccharide capsule | 2) may contribute to chronic pneumonia in CF due to biofilm production
31
pseudomonas treatments
``` CAMPFIRE carbapenems aminoglycosides monobactams polymyxins (polymyxin B, colistin) fluoroquinolone ThIRd and 4th generation cephalosporins (caftazidime, cefepimp) Extended-spectrum penicillins (piperacillin, ticarcillin). ```
32
e coli virulence factor in cystitis and pyelo
fimbriae (P-pili)
33
e coli virulence factor in pneumonia and meningitis?
K capsule
34
EIEC MOA
invades intestinal mucosa and causes necrosis and inflammation
35
EPEC mechanism
no toxin produced. adheres to apical surface, flattens villi, preventing absorption
36
EPEC presentation
diarrhea in kids (P for pediatrics)
37
common sources of EHEC/O157:H7
undercooked meat + *raw leafy vegetables
38
How do you distinguish EHEC from other e coli?
Doesn't ferment sorbitol.
39
other common patient for klebsiella
- diabetics | - abscess in lungs and liver
40
major cause of bloody diarrhea in kids?
campylobacter
41
campy animals
dogs, cats, pigs
42
shigella reservoir
humans only
43
difference between salmonella and shigella in spread
salmonella can disseminate hematogenously; shigella cell to cell, no hematogenous spread
44
salmonella type and lab characteristic
H2S production
45
Salmonella type virulence factor
endotoxin + *Vi capsule
46
salmonella species virulence factor
endotoxin
47
shigella virulence factor
endotoxin + shiga toxin
48
shigella ID50
LOW
49
affect of antibiotics on shigella vs. salmonella
With salmonella and salmonella type, antibiotics will prolong duration. Shorten duration with shigella.
50
immune response to s typhi
monocytes
51
immune response to salmonella species
PMNs in disseminated disease
52
immune response to shigella
primarily PMN infiltration
53
GI presentation of S typhi
constipation followed by diarrhea
54
GI presentation of Salmonella
diarrhea (possibly bloody)
55
S typhi vaccine?
1) oral vaccine contains live attenuated S type | 2) IM vaccine contains Vi capsular polysaccharide
56
typhoid fever presentation
*rose spots on abdomen + constipation + abdominal pain + fever
57
typhoid fever treatment
ceftriaxone or fluorquinolone
58
s typhus unique property
carrier state with gallbladder colonization
59
Common sources of salmonella
poultry, eggs, pets, turtles
60
more common cause of salmonella gastroenteritis
non typhoidal salmonella
61
sources of shigella?
4 F's: fingers, flies, food, feces
62
order the severity/toxin production of shigella species
s dysenteriae, s flexneri, s boydii, s sonnei
63
What is the key to pathogenicity of shigella species?
Invasion; organisms that produce little toxin can cause disease due to invasion.
64
vibrio media?
grows in alkaline media
65
vibrio and stomach acidity?
acid labile; requires large inoculum unless host has decreased gastric acidity
