Radom finish Flashcards
Describe measles appearence
Measles is a paramyxovirus. Koplik spots are small bright red spots with a white centre on the buccal mucosa that precede the measles rash by 1-2 days and are pathognomonic for measles. Measles present initially with cough, coryza and conjunctivitis (three 3s) then the Koplik spots. Eventually a maculopapular rash develops, beginning at the head/neck and spreading downwards.
Describe drug exanthem
Generalised itch rash, confluenct, macular/papular rash (morbilliform),
Cell meediated immune reaction
Rash after abx a few days after (type 4)
More severe reaction if they take drug again
Tinea paedis causative organism
genus Trichophyton
Comps of acne rosacea
blepharitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis
Rhinophyma
AChilles tendon rupture RFs
Quinolone use e.g. cipro
Hypercholesterolaemia (tendonn xanthoma)
Achilles tendon test
Simmon’s test
DM stages and signs on fundoscopy
Background
Microaneurysms (small red dots)
Blot/flame haemorrhages
Hard exudate (forced out of microaneuysms), vision effected if on macula
Pre proliferative
Also with cotton wool spots (soft exudate)
Venous loops
Proliferative
New vessels - more likely to leak and bleed
Pre-retinal/ vitreous haemorrhage - inside eye (everything hazy)
Pre-rentinal fibrosis
Tractional retinal detachment
Hypertensive retinopathy stages
Caused by vasoconstriction, arteriosclerosis and increased vascular permeability (grades)
1- To torture someoen you - tortuosity of retinal arterioles/ narrowing (EARLY)
2- Nip em (AV nipping) - Focal constriction, exxagerated arterial light reflex
3- Flame em -Flame shaped haemorrhages, exudates (cotton wool spots
4- Pap em - papilledema/ neuroretinal edema

Give e.g.s gram pos cocci
Staph aurea Softissue and skin Cellulitis Prosthesis Joint and hip Forms biofilm 4-6week of IV abx Fluclox Staph coag neg e.g. Epidermidis Often contaminants - not as important Can be bone and joint infections Streptocci Pneumoniae CAP Meningitis A haemolytic e.g. Strep pneumoniae and strep viridans in mouth B haemolytic e.g. Strep pyogenies (group A strep) Bacterial throat infection Immunological sequelate Heart valve Nephritis Toxic shock syndrome Generally penicillin (flucloxacillin)
gram pos bacilli
C Diff Spore forming C profringes Gas gangrene Bacillus anthrosis Anthrax Skin lesion - necrostic Haemorragic pulmonary disease Bio terrorist From animals? Lactobacillus Commensals Bacillus sareus?? Rice Corynebacterium Metronidazole - anaerobic
Gram neg bacilli
E coli Klebsiella spp Salmonella spp Legionella spp Proteus spp Enterobacterioracae^ Billiary UTI Peritonitis Liver abccess H pylori Psudomonas Different abx H influenzae Colloniseresp tract post infection e,g. CF Hot tub skin infection Clavuronic acid - inhibits lactamase In co-amoxiclav Also gentimicin (no gram pos action at all)
Gram neg cocci
N meningitis
N gonnarhea
Ceftrixane
