Q

Describe chlamydia’s life cycle

A

Biphasic

  1. Extracellular with infectious elementary body.
  2. Intracellular with non-infectious reticulate body.

Elementary bodies enter mucosal cells then differentiate into reticulate bodies in a membrane-bound compartment known as an inclusion.

82
Q

What is the prozone phenomenon?

False-negative serologic result from high antibody titers that interfere with antigen-antibody complex formation.
Effects non-treponemal tests

83
Q

What should all patients diagnosed with primary or secondary syphilis be tested for?

A

HIV

84
Q

Describe treatment of partners.

A

If exposure is within 90 days empiric treatment.

If exposure was >90 days ago treat based on serologic testing.

HSV-2

86
Q

Presentation of initial HSV infection

A

Multiple bilateral painful and itchy anogenital ulcers that last 10-14 days
May have adenopathy, dysuria
May cause cervicitis or urethritis
May have systemic symptoms.

87
Q

NOTE

A

HSV asymptomatic reactivation with viral shedding mat occur.

Rates are highest in first 3 months after infection.

88
Q

HSV diagnosis

A

NAAT/PCR of lesion
Culture is not sensitive.
May add serologic testing to PCR to determine if lesion is acute of chronic [serologic tests are only positive in chronic infection].

89
Q

NOTE:

A

In those with HIV suppressive therapy for HSV does not reduce risk of transmission of HIV or HSV to partner.

90
Q

Treatment of resistant HSV

A
  1. Foscarnet
  2. Cidofovir
  3. Imiquimod
91
Q

Microbiology of H. ducreyi

93
Q

Treatment of buboes

A

Aspiration, NOT I and D.
