29
Q

how do you manage GvHD?

A

good HLA matching
immunosupressives
PUVA (Psoralen and UV therapy)on cutanous lesions

30
Q

when should treatment be performed in patients that have had BMT?

A

avoid treatment within the first three months following transplant
after three months, use ab if likely to induce bacteramia

31
Q

what is a viral cause of immunodef?

A

HIV

32
Q

what is HIV?

A

a progressive disease impairing the function of the CD4 helper cells

33
Q

which receptor does HIV bind onto on the CD4 cells?

A

gp120

34
Q

what are the lase symptoms of HIV?

A
weight loss
lethargy
malaise
night sweats
diarrhoea
poor apaetite
35
Q

what three incfections can occur once the CD4 count drops below 200?

A

CMV
toxoplasmosis
Pneumocysitis pneumonia

36
Q

what is different about pneumocystis pneumonia compared to other types of pneumonia?

A

caused by fungua

usually pneumocysistis jiroveci

37
Q

what other fungal infection is seen i people with HIV?

A

oesophageal candida

38
Q

what are the symptoms of oesophageal candida

A

sore throat
dysphagia
restrosternal pain

39
Q

what are the signs and symptoms of pneumocysitisis pneuomnia

A

fatigue
cough
dysponea

40
Q

what is the normal CD4 count in health?

A

> 600mm^3

41
Q

what is AIDS?

A

when CD4 count is less than 200mm^3

42
Q

WHat are the 5 groups of drugs used to manage HIV?

A

Non nuceloside reverse transcirpatse inhibitors work
protease inhibitors
Nucleoside reverse transcripatse inhibitors
Fusion inhibitors
integrase inhibitors

43
Q

how do NRTI work?

A

prevent HIV from copying its geentic materal

44
Q

how do protease inhibitors work?

A

they prevent HIV from assembling its orotective coat before they leave CD4 cell

45
Q

how do NNRTI?

A

similar to NRTI but fewer side effects

46
Q

when are fusion inhibitors used?

A

used for those whose disease is no lonfger managed by other drugs

47
Q

how do integrase inhibitors work?

A

they prevent HIV inserting viral DNA into host DNA since integrase is one of the three enzymes it needs to replicate
