[MICRO] DISEASES OF EYE Flashcards
normal biota of eye
staph. epidermidis
Lactobacillus
Propionibacterium
defense mechanisms of eye
eyelashes
eyelids
lacrimal & goblet cells secretions
lysozymes & IgA
infections of eyes are MC caused by
staph. aureus
infections of eyelids cause
blepharitis
infections of eyelid glands/follicles cause
sties
gram + cocci
beta hemolytic
catalase +
coagulase +
staph. aureus
causative agent of conjuctivitis
ferments mannitol
produces golden yellow endopigment
penicillin resistant
staph. aureus
virulence factors of staph. aureus (7)
1-protein A
2-clumping factor bound coagulase
3-antiphagocytic capsule
4-coagulase enzyme
5-beta lactamases
6-alpha toxin
7-P-V leukocidin
gram +
lancet shaped diplococci
alpha hemolytic
(-) by optochin
bile soluble
strept. pneumoniae
virulence factors of strept pneumoniae (2)
antiphagocytic capsule
IgA protease
conjunctivitis:
gram + lancet shaped diplococci producing alpha hemolytic colonies on blood agar
strept. pneumoniae
gram - rods
requires factor X & V for growth
H. infleunza
virulence factor of H. influenza (2)
antiphagocytic capsule
IgA protease
gram -
kidney bean diplococci
oxidase positive
N. gonorrhea
N. gonorrhea virulence factors (2)
Pili
IgA protease
non enveloped double stranded dna virus
adenovirus
causative agent of non specific follicular conjunctivitis
adenovirus
causative agent of acute pharyngoconjunctival fever
adenovirus serotype 3
unchlorinated swimming pools are associated w/ outbreaks of
adenovirus
non enveloped single stranded RNA viruses
Enterovirus 70
Coxsackie virus A24
outbreaks of severe hemorrhagic conjunctivitis are caused by
enterovirus 70
Coxsackie virus A24
enveloped double stranded DNA
Herpes simplex virus-1
virus which establishes latent infection in trigemnial ganglia in immunocompromised patients
herpes simplex virus-1
virus causing neonatal conjunctivitis accompanied by generalized herpes
herpes simplex virus-1
MOT of conjunctivitis
direct
indirect
autoinoculation
autoinoculation occurs in case of conjunctivitis caused by
N.gonorrhea
C.trachomatis
red eye
excessive lacrimation
purulent/watery discharge
are symptoms of
conjunctivitis
fever
pharyngitis
conjunctivitis
are symptoms of
acute pharyngoconjunctival fever (PCF)
