STI’s Flashcards

1
Q

A woman is brought to the clinic complaining of vaginal discharge and RUQ abdominal pain. On history, the patient reports having many sexual partners. Pelvic exam reveals cervical motion tenderness and labs of vaginal discharge detect numerous polymorphonuclear leukocytes but no organisms on gram stain. The doctor makes a diagnosis based on these findings and administers doxycycline and ceftriaxone. Later, surgeons, concerned about the patient’s abdominal pain, perform alaparoscopy and find adhesions around the patient’s liver
capsule.

Q

Syphilis- transmission

A

most common mode of transmission is through sexual contact with the infected person. intimate contact of skin-skin or mucus membrane to mucus membrane bacteria can enter the body through compromised skin, such as through minor cuts or abrasions in the skin. Thus, transmissible through direct contact with an active lesion during kissing
also be transmitted from a mother to her fetus, resulting in congenital syphilis

75
Q

What two types of antibodies are produced Syphilis

85
Q

Virus characteristics DNA virus
Enveloped Herpesviridae family Alphaherpes subfamily

A

Genital herpes herpes simplex virus-2

86
Q

Genital herpes-transmission

A

Easily pass from person to person through contact with the moist skin of the mouth and genitals (vesicle/ulcer fluid).
• spread through contact with other areas of the skin and the
eyes.
• The virus is most contagious between the time when
symptoms first appear and when they heal.
• Less commonly, a person can transmit the virus when
symptoms are not present (asymptomatic).
• If a woman with genital herpes has sores while giving birth,
the virus can pass on to the baby (congenital transmission).
• The tissue in a woman’s vagina is more prone to small tears,enabling the virus to enter easily

87
Q

Herpes simplex virus-2 pathogenesis

A

Enters through break in skin or mucus membrane
• Multiplies locally in the tissue
• Lytic infection of host cells
• Retrograde transport along nerve
axons
• Remains latent/ dormant in the
dorsal ganglion ( not whole virus
only DNA)
• Later, certain triggers, such as
stress, illness, exposure to sunlight, and menstruation can make the virus active again (reactivation)
• virus return down (anterograde) the
axons to skin causing another

88
Q

Giant cells syncytium in Tzank smear

A

Herpes simplex virus-2

89
Q

Presents as painful vesicular lesions, and ulcers on mucus
membrane and skin of the penis, around or inside the vagina, on the thighs, buttocks or the anus
Pain, tingling, and itching, burning micturition, vaginal discharge swollen lymph nodes, fever, malaise and fatigue

A

Genital herpes symptoms

90
Q

Genital herpes symptoms incubation period

A

Incubation period- 2-12 days

91
Q

Genital herpes laboratory diagnosis

A

PCR- polymerase chain reaction (gold standard)

Tzank smear for HSV infected multinucleated giant cells

92
Q

Genital herpes treatment

A

Acyclovir (nucleoside analog) 400mg Inhibits DNA polymerase can prevent the virus from multiplying and thus reducing the severity of symptoms.
