Q

an organism contracted from sandfly, causing bone infection

A

Leishmania

18
Q

they are aerobic bacilli causing tuberculosis, Potts, leprosy, etc; they are acid fast; resistant to decolorization by higher concentrations of acid alcohol; requires special media, but some species grow fast, while others take 12-16 weeks

-3% acid alcohol
-Methylene blue

A

Ziehl-Neelsen stain

20
Q

a type of acid fast stain:
-Carbol fuchsin (higher concentration of phenol)
- 3% acid alcohol
-Methylene blue

A

Kinyoun stain (cold)

21
Q

type of acid fast stain which uses Lower concentration of acid alcohol (0.5- 1.0%)

A

Modified acid fast

22
Q

a type of stain used to visualize acid-fast bacilli using fluorescence microscopy; both dyes have a high affinity for mycolic acid; stains cell wall bright yellow or orange, with a dark background

A

Auramine Rhodamine

23
Q

Reagents of Auramine Rhodamine staining method

A

-Aurmaine-Rhodamine dyes (primary stain)
- Distilled water
-Acid-alcohol (decolorizer)
-Potassium permanganate (counterstain)

30
Q

a diagnostic procedure which uses serological or immunodiagnostic techniques

A

Antigen or antibody detection

31
Q

a specimen type which is considered a gold standard for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis; collected by needle aspirate or bone marrow collected by needle aspirate in a clean, sterile tube with Na Heparin

A

Bone Biopsy

32
Q

the second best option for specimen collection in diagnosing osteomyelitis

A

Bone piece

33
Q

this specimen type should only be done if biopsy could not be done; collected by needle aspirate

A

Pus fluid from sinus/abscess aspirate

34
Q

this type of specimen can be used but are positive in only 50% of cases of osteomyelitis

A

blood cultures

35
Q

considered an inappropriate specimen for osteomyelitis because:
-it will be contaminated by skin flora
-will not capture actual pathogen (s) or anaerobes

A

Superficial swab

36
Q

Bone biopsy, bone marrow aspirates are ________ specimens

A

sterile

37
Q
