NONVENEREAL DISEASES OF THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS Flashcards
Diseases that is not acquired through sexual transmission
NONVENEREAL DISEASES
Primarily associated with the use of absorbent tampons
STAPHYLOCOCCAL TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME
Can occur infection at any sites but more of association with a
cutaneous lesion
STAPHYLOCOCCAL TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME
Signs and symptoms
Suddenonsetoffeverandchills,vomiting,diarrhea,low-blood pressure, and severe red rash at site of infection
●Someothersignsandsymptoms:confusion,conjunctiva, headache, and muscle pain
● Common symptoms: Headache, high fever, reddened eyes, racing heart, rash on hands and feet, fainting, low blood pressure
● Patients go into shock when left untreated
virulence factors of staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome
Strains of S. aureus , Excessive cytokine
produce toxic shock syndrome toxin
Strains of S. aureus
Excessive cytokine production by
T cells
Most cases occurs in menstruating females
STAPHYLOCOCCAL TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME
how to diagnose STAPHYLOCOCCAL TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME
bacterial culture
Usually predominant in 00-00y/o STAPHYLOCOCCAL TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME
20-603
3 toxins of STAPHYLOCOCCAL TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME
TSStoxin1,enterotoxinsA,B,andCetc
3 conditions that must be met to conclude that there is STSS:
● Bacterial colonization
● Must produce toxin
● There must be a portal of entry for the toxin
Presence of foreign body like tampons reduces ? levels which promotes the formation of toxin by the bacterial organisms

Vaginal infection caused by multiple kinds of bacteria
BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS (BV)
Occurs in reproductive staged women (hindi pa nag menopause)
BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS (BV)
bacteria caused by BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS (BV)
Gardnerella vaginalis
Signsandsymptoms
● White vaginal discharge with a “fishy” odor
● Vaginal irritation in some women
Gardnerella vaginalis
Gardnerella vaginalis (aerobic or anaerobic)
anaerobic
Pathogenesis and epidemiology of BV
Associated with multiple sexual partners and vaginal douching
how to diagnose BV
presences of clue cells
Severe vaginal itching and burning
● When balance of bacteria and yeast changes, yeast usually can
multiply which causes intense itching, swelling, and irritation
VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS (CANDIDIASIS)
bacteria of VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS (CANDIDIASIS)
Candida albicans
Lives in the GI tract and vagina of women in competition
with other bacteria such as lactobacillus and other
normal microbiota
○ A normal microbiota of the skin and mucous membranes
Candida albicans
virulence factor of Candida albicans
pseudohyphae,
resistant to antibacterial drugs,
normal vaginal microbiota
