How do you test for TB

A

Acid fast stain

19
Q

What is extra pulmonary TB

A

milliary TB: bacteremic infection that spreads to other tissues

20
Q

How does TB typically spread within the body and to where

A

Who is bronchiolitis most common in

A

kiddos

24

A

Flu
Herpes
EBV
HIV

27
Q

A

Thermal burns
trauma

28
Q

What sound will occur when someone has epiglottitis

A

Stridor

29
Q

Will inflammation from epiglottitis travel inferior to the vocal cords?

A

no

30
Q

What is the epiglottitis triad

A

Drooling
Dysphagia
Distress

31
Q

What is pertussis

A

Aerobic, gram negative with no known animal reservoirs

32
Q

What is pertussis virulence factors

A

They encourage attachment to ciliated epithelial cells within the trachea and bronchi

33
Q

What is pertussis toxin

A

Assists with binding and gaining entry into the epithelial cells

34
Q

What does the pertussis toxin cause

A

histamine sensitization
increased insulin synthesis

35
Q

What is Filamentous hemagglutinin

A

Surface protein pili that will help with adhesiveness

36
Q

What do pertussis surface proteins help with

A

Allows for velcro effect to epithelial cells and erythrocytes

37
Q

What does cytoplasmic adenylate cyclase do

A

impairs chemotaxis and weakens phagocytosis of host cells

38
Q

What is tracheal cytotoxin

A

Destroys ciliated epithelial cells

Body becomes unable to clear mucus and bacteria

39
Q

How is pertussis transmitted

A

Inhalation or respiratory droplets

40
Q

What does pertussis toxin bind to

A

any mammalian cell and modulates a host immune response

41
Q

What is another name for pertussis

A

whooping cough

42
Q

What are the stages of whooping cough

A

catarrhal stage (1-2wks)
*pt most contagious in this stage

Paroxysmal stage
*cough becomes very prominent, vomiting an hypoxia are common
