infectious diseases part 2 Flashcards
self-limited disease that occurs in epidemics of flu-like symptoms in young children
-transmitted by fecal-oral and airbone routes
coxsackie virus
-constitutional symptoms
-begins as small vesicles that rupture and ulcerate
-posterior oral cavity and oropharynx
herpangina
vesicular eruption of hands, feet, and anterior mouth
common in daycares
hand, foot, mouth disease
-childhood infection
-communicable disease
-skin rash
-MMR vaccine
measles (rubeola)
“grains of salt” on an erythematous base
-foci of epithelial necrosis
(deals with measles)
measles(rubeola) Koplik spots
-childhood infection
-communicable disease
-MMR vaccine
-30% subclinical infection
-prodromal constitutional symptoms
salivary gland swelling and discomfort
acute viral parotitis(mumps)- endemic parotitis
lab findings in mumps
- elevated serum amylase (released from granules during lysis of acinar cells
- specific serologic tests
complications in mumps
- rare in young and more common in older adults
- orchitis, oophoritis, mastitis, meningitis, thyroiditis, pancreatitis
- sterility, hearing loss
-pulmonary infection most common
-intracellular pathogen
-granulomatous disease
-1/3 of world infected
-leading infectious cause of death after AIDS
tuberculosis
infection vs active disease in tuberculosis
infection: growth of the organism in a patient
active: destructive, symptomatic
transmission of tuberculosis
droplet nuclei 1-5 microns
-stay airborne for long periods of time
-reach the pulmonary alveoli
-previously unexposed (unsens) person
-gohn complex (lung lesion)
-cell-mediated immunity controls infection
-fibrosis and calcification
-viable organisms dormant in lesions (latent disease)
primary pulmonary tuberculosis
blocks fusion of phagosome with lysozome in mycobacterium tuberculosis
TB cord factor
tuberculosis diagnosis
- chest radiograph
- sputum culture
- molecular biologic tools
tuberculosis treatment
multi-drug regimens
