Q

flu symptoms

A

SUDDEN ONSET: sudden fever, myalgia, chills, dry cough, coryza, weakness. Elderly may be confused. Kids may have diarrhea.

31
Q

initial dx test for flu

A

rapid test of viral antigens from nasal pharyngeal swab; will have a low sensitivity

32
Q

definitive test for flu

A

DFA, viral culture(takes 3-7 days), PCR assay

33
Q

CBC in flu

A

leukopenia and proteinuria

34
Q

flu incubation period, fever, immunity

A

incubation 18-72 hours, fever last 1-7 days, immunity set within 2 weeks of vaccination

35
Q

tx for flu

A

Zanamir or Oseltamivir (rising in resistance)

36
Q

pertussis organism

A

gram neg bacillus bordetella pertussis

37
Q

pertussis vaccine

A

DTap given 5 doses in early childhood;

acellular pertussis vaccine recommended in infancy

38
Q

pertussis pts

A

Typically occurs before 2 years old; infection highest in premies, and those with cardiac, pulm, or neuromuscular disorder

39
Q

3 stages of pertussis

A

catarrhal, paroxysmal, convalescent

40
Q

catarrhal stage

A

most contagious; mild URI sx, lasts 1-2 weeks

41
Q

paroxysmal stage

A

paroxysms of cough for a few minutes with high pitched INSPIRATORY whoop and post tussive emesis, ; lasts 2-3 months; fever is rare

42
Q

convalescent

A

last few weeks, symptoms wane

43
Q

labs for pertussis

A

increased WBC with lymphocytosis(often 70%),

gold standard is nasopharyngeal culture!!

44
Q

tx for pertussis

A

treat close contacts too. Use Emcyin.

alternative: azithomycin, clarithomycin, bactrim.

45
Q

antigenic drift vs shift

A

drift: small gradual changes in surface proteins throught point mutation
shift: acute major change in the subtype

46
Q

3 types of TB

A

primary TB; progressive primary TB; latent TB

47
Q

what is primary TB

A

exposed people that mount an immune response sufficient to prevent progression from initial to clinical infection; 10% of people infected to develop the disease/ active disease kills 50% of pts

48
Q

what is progressive primary TB?

A

5% of exposed people fail to contain primary infection and progress to active TB

49
Q

how does reactivation occur with TB

A

immumosuppression, alcoholism, pre-existing lung disease, diabetes, old age

50
Q

Night sweats, dry to productive cough, w/ or w/out hemoptysis, wt loss, fatigue, dyspnea

A

TB

51
Q

TB symptoms

A

Night sweats, dry to productive cough(blood tinged sputum), w/ or w/out hemoptysis, wt loss, fatigue, dyspnea; 3 weeks duration

52
Q

fever of unknown origin, think…

A

TB

53
Q

post tussive rales, think…

A

TB

54
Q

definitive dx test of TB

A

ACID/FAST STAIN OF SPUTUM

definitive dx: mycobacterium cultures (6-8 weeks) or DNA/RNA amplication technique (1-2 days)

55
Q

Caseating granulomas

A

TB

56
Q

hallmark of TB

A

caseating granulomas

57
Q

primary TB CXR (5)

A

homogenous infiltrates, hilar/para-tracheal lymphnode enlargement, segmental atelectasis, cavitations

58
Q

reactivation TB CXR

A

fibrocavitary apical d/s;
apical and posterior segments of upper lobe
superior segment of lower lobe

59
Q

Ranke complex

A

The Ghon complex undergoes progressive fibrosis, often followed by radiologically detectable calcification

60
Q

Ghon complex

A

Ghon’s complex is a lesion seen in the lung that is caused by tuberculosis. The lesions consist of a calcified focus of infection and an associated lymph node. These lesions are particularly common in children and can retain viable bacteria, so are sources of long-term infection and may be involved in reactivation of the disease in later life.

61
Q

TB drugs

A

RIPE: rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, ethambutol

62
Q

active TB tx

A

all 4 drugs for 2 months; then INH and RIF 4 months

63
Q

latent TB tx

A

INH 9 months OR RIF 4 months OR

RIF and PZA 2 months(only if in contact with TB resistant persons)

64
Q

rifampin SE

A

hepatitis, flu sx, ORANGE URINE

65
Q

INH SE

A

hepatitits, peripheral neuropathy so must give with vit B6(pyridoxine)

66
Q

hepatitis, flu sx, ORANGE URINE

A

rifampin SE

67
Q

hepatitits, peripheral neuropathy

A

INH SE- give with vit B6(pyridoxine)

68
Q

PPD Tuberculin skin test

A

5mm positive for immunocompromised pts
10mm positive for healthcare worker or moderate risk pt
15mm positive for normal healthy low risk person

69
Q

TB usually what affect what lung fields

A

upper

70
Q

pyrazinamide SE

A

arthralgias and hepatitis

71
Q

ethambutol SE

A

optic neuritis

  • prevention in high risk for bronchiolitis
A

palivizumab during first year of life for children <29 weeks, symptomatic chronic lung disease of prematurity, congenital hrt d/s, neuromuscular difficulties, immunodef.
