mnemonic: rotating (rotavirus) chickens (chickenpox) on poles (polio) does not give tuberculosis (BCG vaccine) or autism
(MMR)

73
Q

structure of the hepB virus + diff in Abs our bodies make for the two

A

has surface Ags (Abs to this will ELIMINATE the virus and stay for life) + core Ags (Abs for these are just there but don’t do anything and also stay for life)

74
Q

positive for sAg indicates what in hepB

A

you’re infected (acute or chronic)

75
Q

positive for sAb indicates what in hepB

A

resolved acute infection (resolved bc you were able to make sAb)

76
Q

positive for cAg indicates what in hepB

A

you’re infected acutely (it hasn’t been long since you got infected) bc

77
Q

hepB: sAg, sAb, cAb and cAg in the vaccinated (vaccination = give surface antigen bc we want sAb (the efficient Ab) to be produced)

A
  • sAg negative
  • sAb positive
  • cAg negative
78
Q

3 tests for hepB

A
  • surface Ags
  • surface Abs (Abs to the surface Ag)
  • core Abs (Abs to the core Ag)
  • NO CORE Ag TEST*
79
Q

how the 3 tests for hepB + total core Abs (includes IgG cAb) evolve with time when you get acute hepatitis B (infection in adult life, unprotected sex for example)

A
  1. sAg up then back down
  2. cAb IgM up a bit later then back down too
  3. Total cAb (IgM + IgG) goes up with cAb IgM and present for life (bc IgG stays)
  4. sAb goes up and stays for life (after cAb IgM down) IS PRESENT ONLY AFTER INFECTION
80
Q

how the 3 tests for hepB + total core Abs (includes IgG cAb) evolve with time when you get chronic hepatitis B (infection perinatally)

A
  1. sAg up and there for life
  2. then cAb IgM up and then down
  3. Total cAb (IgM + IgG) goes up with cAb IgM and present for life (bc IgG stays)
81
Q

how the 3 tests for hepB differ for chronic hepB vs acute hepB

A
  1. acute = sAg will go up then back down
    chronic = sAg stays up for life
  2. acute = sAb will go up late and stay for life. chronic = sAb never appears bc immune system can’t clear the sAg
    *but both have cAb go up and stay for life (and IgM back down long term)
82
Q

what tests do you order to know if a patient is currently infected with hepB (acute or chronic, doesn’t matter)

A

sAg

83
Q

what tests do you order to know if a patient has ever been exposed to hepatitis B

A

total cAb

84
Q

what test do you order to know if a patient is immune to hepB (means acute and healed it. you’re not immune if chronically infected)

A

sAb

85
Q

what test do you order to know if a patient has ACUTE HEP B INFECTION SPECIFICALLY (want to discriminate acute vs chronic)

A

cAb IgM*

-NOT sAg bc is always there with chronic

86
Q

what is the Ab to hepB that gives you immunity to hepB

A

sAb

87
Q

meaning of sAg-, sAb- and cAb-

A

no prior exposure

88
Q

meaning of sAg-, sAb+, cAb-

A

vaccination (vaccine only has sAg in it bc anws it is the sAb that gives you immunity)

89
Q

(IMPORTANT) meaning of sAg-, sAb+, cAb+

A

resolved acute infection

90
Q

meaning of sAg+, sAb-, cAb+

A

acute or chronic infection (sAb- bc only have sAb AFTER acute infection and not during acute)

91
Q

if you got a sAg+, sAb-, cAb+, how will you differentiate the acute infection from the chronic infection

A

by knowing if cAb IgM is + (acute) or - (chronic)

92
Q

if a needle contains hepB, hepC or HIV what is the respective risk ok getting infected in a needlestick injury with a needle containing one of these

A
  • hepB: 30%
  • hepC: 3%
  • HIV: 0.3%
93
Q

Parkland formula to estimate how much fluid you need to give a burn patient within the first 24 hours + over what time interval specifically

A

4 x m (kg) x % of TBSA (burnt) = V to give (in mL)

  • half in first 8 hours
  • half in next 16 hours
94
Q

how to estimate TBSA burnt in a burn injury

A
  • arm = 9% each
  • leg = 18% each
  • torso = 18%
  • back = 18%
  • head = 9%
  • palm = 1%
95
Q

SIRS definition

A

2 of these 4 criteria

  • temp <36 or >38
  • PaCO2 <32 or RR>20
  • WBCs <4000 or >12000 or >10% band neutrophils
  • HR>90
96

A

deficiency in NAPDH oxidase in phagocytes

97
Q

CGD susceptibility to which bacteria

A
  • aspergillus
  • burkholderia
  • strep
  • nocardia
98
Q

CGD what to be careful about

A

infected patient may have no fever and no leukocytosis because the signaling is impaired (CGD affects inflammatory cells)
can’t rule out infection if no fever or leukocytosis

99
Q

most common food allergen + other one common too

A
  • milk #1

- raw egg (but cooked = no allergy bc no more allergens)
