Parasites micro justus Flashcards
characteristics of entAmoeba histolytica
trophozoite
cyst: 1-4 nuclei
transmission of Entamoeba hsitolytica
fecal oral
oral anal
Pathogenese of Entamoeba hsitolytica
- cyst ingestion
- reaches stomach and forms trophozoite
- replicates
- attaches to hot cell via GalNac
- local necrosis via cytotoxins
- invades intestine walls and eats RBCs
- dissemination to secondary organs (liver and lung)
how does entamoeba hytolitcia attache to host cell?
GalNac addhesion protein
virulence factors of Entamoeba histolytica
- GalNac
- Cystine kinase (cytolysis)
- Pholspholipase A (cystolysis)
- collagensase
- hyaluronidase
- elastase
- RNase
diseases caused by Entamoeba Histolytica
- intestinal amebiasis
2. extra intestinal amebiasis
what is intestinal amebiasis?
amebiasis dysentery: invasive inflammatory diarrhea ulcerations bloody pus
what are the extra intestinal manifestations of Entamoeba histolytica?
access formation in right liver lobe
ulcers that can brake and casue peritonitis
diagnosis if Entamoeba histoltitca?
- fecal antigen test O&P
- ELSIA
- flask shaped ulcers in colon
treatment of Entamoeba
METROnidazole
paromoMYCINE
idoloquinol (Queen idol)
differente between Entamoeba Histolytia and Coli?
Coli: part of normal flora, often confused as Hsitolytica on O&P, has MORE Nuceli usually, doesn’t ingest RBC!
characteristic structure of Giardia trophozoite?
- kite shaped
- bi nucleated
- 4 flagella
transmission of Giardia lambilia and intestinalis
fecal oral (bad water) oral anal sex
pathogeneiss of Giardia lambilia and intestinalis
- ingestion of cysts (min. 10-25)
- arrives in duodenum
- Tunis in to trophozoite
- multiplicates
- attachment to duodenal wall non invasive via sucking disk
how many cysts needed to infection of Giardia lambilia and intestinalis?
MIN. 10-25 which is not many…. very infective
disease caused b Giardia lambilia and intestinalis
50% asymptomatic
-foulsmelling diarrhea
stetorrhea
malabsorption of vitamins
diagnosis of Giardia lambilia and intestinalis
O&P test
elisa
Treatment of Giardia lamblia and intestinalis?
metronidazole
what are the human pathogens of Cryptosporodium spp.?
C. Parvum
C. Hominis
what is the infective from of Crypotsporodium?
sporozoite
transmission of cryptosporidium?
fecal oral
oral anal
life cycle of Cryptosporodium
- sporocytesare ingested
- sporozites will attach to intestinal surface and will mature
- sexual development= fertilization of oocyte
- oocyst can mature in intestine or be excreted
diseases caused by Cryptosporodium ssp
asymptomatic in immunodeficiency sufficient patients
severe watery diarrhea in AIDS
special stain to diagnose Cryptosporodium?
acid fast!!!
characteristics of naegleria flowleri
- amoeba
- trophozoite (infective from)
- cysts
where is naegleria floweri around in?
in fresh water
what do we associate with naegleria floweri infection?
water sport
swimming in lakes
contaminated contact lenses
