infectious diseases Flashcards
what bac is impetigo caused from
strep pyogenes and staph aureus
vesicles that rupture, resulting in thick, amber colored crusts or longer lasting bullae
impetigo
lesions may itch- pruritius
impetigo
what bac causes tonsillitis and pharyngitis
group a beta hemolytic strep
petechiae and strawberry tongue(fungiform are red)
scarlet fever
childhood disease that follows group A beta hemolytic streptococcal infection 3% of strep cases get this
rheumatic fever
heart valve damage may occur; this may require the patient to be premedicated prior to dental treatment
rheumatic fever
involvement of organs such as kidney and liver in widespread areas of the body
miliary tb
involvement of submandibular and cervical lymph nodes
scrofula(tb)
chronic granulomatous lesions with areas of necrosis surrounded by macrophages, multinucleated giant cells and lymphocytes
tb
occupationally transmitted disease in dentistry
tb
combination meds including inh and rifampin
tb
what is actinomycosis caused by
actinomyces israelii
sulfur granules
actinomycosis
what is syphilis caused by
treponema pallidum
std; transmitted by direct contact
syphilis
chancre; forms where the spirochete enters the body; highly infectious; heals spontaneously and the disease enters a latent period
primary syphilis
diffuse eruptions occur on skin and mucous membranes; oral lesions are called mucous patches(most infectious);snail trail ulcers; very infectious, windy, irregular lesions
secondary stage syphilis
chiefly involves the cardiovascular system and the nervous system; gumma(firm noninfectious mass; destructive lesion that can result in perforation of palatal bone
tertiary stage syphilis
chancre
primary syphilis
mucous patch
secondary syphilis
none(syphilis)
latent period
gumma
tertiary syphilis
what is syphilis treated with
penicillin
painful, erythematous gingivitis with necrosis of interdental papillae
necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
most likely caused by both fusiform bacillus and a spirochete(borrelia vincentii)
nug
inflammation around the crown of a partially erupted impacted tooth; trauma from an opposing molar and impacted food under the soft tissue flap(operculum) may precipitate
pericoronitis
posterior mandible
osteomyelitis
a white curdlike material is present on mucosal surface; burning sensation; can be scraped off to reveal underlying erythematous inflammatory base
pseudomembrane candidiasis
the presenting complaint is an erythematous , often painful mucosa
erythematous candida
focal areas of erythema and lingual depapillation are characteristics of
chronic candidiasis in patients with xerostomia
what is the most common type of candidiasis
denture stomatitis(chronic atrophic candidiasis)
mucosa is erythematous, but the change is limited to the mucosa covered by a full or partial denture; follows the outline of the rpd or denture
denture stomatitis
a white lesion that does not wipe off the mucosa; will respond to antifungal meds
chronic hyperplastic candidiasis(candidal leukoplakia)
appears as an erythematous region devoid of papillae on posterior dorsum of tongue
median rhomboid glossitis
histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, blastomycosis, cryptococcosis
deep fungal infections
what do deep fungal infections primarily involve?
lungs
rare fungal infection; organism found in soil and usually nonpathogenic; may occur with diabetic and debilitated patients; proliferating or destructive mass in the maxilla
mucormycosis
