IID 1 Flashcards
Which main STIs produce sores? vs discharge?
sores- syphilis, HSV
discharge- gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas vaginitis, candidiasis
which one produces painless sores?
syphilis
tests for syphilis
RPR, VRDL, darkfield fluorescence to find spirochetes
treponemal would be FTA-ABS
tests stay +
primary syphilis secondary tertiary congenital sx
- prim- painless ulcer chancre
- second- maculopapular rash and condyloma lata
- tert- granulomatous gummas, neurosyphilis (w tabes dorsalis pupils dont react w light), CV aorta tree barking
- congen- hutchinsons teeth, high mort, ocular issues
Tx for syphilis
PCN (purple pencil)
Haemophilis Ducreyi
sx
appearance on slides
PAINFUL chancroid genital ulcer, dis of tropics, satellite lesions, may be asymp in women
- gram neg coccobacilli, needs hematin X factor and NAD V factor to culture on chocolate agar
- histo: school of fish appearance
Donvanosis/ granuloma inguinale org sx histo pop
- klebsiella (gram neg encaps rod)
- bacteria looks like SAFETY PIN, intracellular donovan bodies in smear preps for dx
- endemic to tropics/travelers
Genital herpes simplex (usu HSV2)
latency in neural ganglia, reactivation infxn, torches
-histo: tzanck smear with multinucl giant cells and COWDRY bodies in skin biopsies
(“Hermes”)
Neisseria gonnorhoeae
VFs
sx
pili, igA protease, with lots of ag variation, abx res, no capsule
- sx: PID, neonatal conjunctivitis (Tx with abx), dx with smear and naats, tx with 3rd gen cef (and tx with azithro for chlam)
- discharge
Chlamydia Trachomatis
VFs
dx
tx
- vf: intracell, lacks peptidoglycan thus no muramic acid, biphasic rep cycle (elementary enters)
- dx with NAAT, pcr etc, look for incl bodies
- tx with Azithro and doxy
chalmydia sx
- PID, infert/ectopic etc
- L serovar causes LGV painless ulcer, and boboes (lymph swelling)
Trichomonas vaginalis
sx
tx
histo
“Tricks for Money” –trophozoite transm
- higher pH, frothy greenish yellow discharge, STRAWBERRY CERVIX!
- tx: metronidazole
- histo: wet mount will show trophozoites (puddle shape, these teardrop shaped creature things w/ motility)
Which HPV types are higher risk and can cause cervical cancer?
16 and 18
Bacterial vaginosis org dx histo sx
“The Fish Garden”
Gardnerella and other anaerobes
-FOUL SMELLING discharge due to anaerobes, ph 4.5 and up, Clue cells from vag epith with bacteria (blue looking spots where missing fish were in sketchy_
-can cause PID and preg issues
Candida albicans
risks
ph
sx
Germ tubes at higher temp, yeast/pseudohyphae at lower temp, imbalance of normal vaginal
- risks: fem hygeine products, ABX, DM
- ph LESS than 4.5
- cottage cheese white discharge, itching etc
Pubic lice tx
Scabies sx and tx
- lice- permethrin
- scabies- skin rash in folds, itch gets worse at night, tx with topical pesticides etc
both can be from sexual contact
which STI can lead to meningitis and stiff neck?
HSV!
other HPV sx, histo
small painless lesions that bleed after sex, koilocytes (blue sunny side up eggs from sketchy) on histo
- vax: gardenesil
- E6 and 7
haemophilis d tx
CEF and AZITHRO (like gon/chlam)
klebsiella tx
tetracyline (donovanosis, tropical)
Main TORCH infections
Toxoplasmosis Other (syphillis, varicella zoster, parvovirus b19)
Toxoplasmosis
org is toxoplasma gondii, cats are hosts, cat poop has oocysts which need to sit out for a few days to become infective (humans can also get it from meat this way etc or eating stuff off the floor)
Toxo in pregnancy and dev countries etc
- preg women can get it from changing cat litter
- in developing countries, congenital infxn is less likely bc kids get it so become immune, congen toxo only occurs if preg woman gets infxn for first time (ppl exposed in childhood cant pass it on)
- the earlier preg woman gets infection, the less likely to pass it on yet the more severe!
Classic triad of congen toxo?
Chorioretinitis
Intracranial calcs
Hydrocephalus (CSF accum)
-long term CNS issues incl cog vis motor hearing or seizures
preventing toxo
no regular screning but can dx with sero or pcr
-freeze or smoke/cook food, avoid cat poop contact
