Warning signs: severe abd pn, persistent vomiting, tachypnea, bleeding gums, fatigue, hematemesis

18
Q

Chikungunya

A

Family: Togaviridae
Vector: Aedes mosquito
Pathogenesis: replicates in fibroblasts, disseminates to target tissues (muscle, joint, skin, RES), inflammatory infiltrate so joints inflamed in response to infection
ROS: joint pain, fever (joint pain persists for months)

19
Q

21
Q

Hydatid Dz

A

Etiology: Echinococcus granulosus

ROS: anaphylactic shock if cyst ruptures
Imaging (CT): egg-shell calcifications

22

ROS: fever, maculopapular rash, constitutional sx’s

27
Q

EBV (HHV-4)

A

Transmission: kissing (swapping saliva)
