STI's Flashcards
What are the bacterial STI’s ?
Chlamydia
Gonorrhea
Syphilis
What are the viral STI’s ?
HPV
Hepatitis B
HSV
HIV
What are the parasitic infections?
Lice
Mites (scabies)
What is the gonorrhea transmission?
Intercourse and congenital
What is a folite?
Contaminated objects
What does gonorrhea need to survive?
Co2 and nutrients
What is the pathophys of gonorrhea?
Female: infected cervix -> uterus + fallopian tubes
Male: urethra rectum (stays there)
Attached to epithelium -> mucosal invasion + damage
Intense inflammation -> urethra/uterus fills with exudate
What are the manifestations of gonorrhea ?
Ophtamlmia neonatorum
Pharyngitis
Rectal bleed and discharge
Conjunctivitis
Female: pelvic inflammation disease (PID) & fallopian tube inflammation
Increase infertility risk
Male: urethral strictures: prostatis, epididymitis
What are the stages of syphilis?
- Local invasion
- Systemic. Immune response. Condolymata lata.
- latent
- Morbidity, Gummas, hypersensitivity ulcers, heart/skin/bone/neuro
What is the mode of transmission of syphilis ?
Extragenital
Intercourse
Congenital
What is the specification of Chlamydia?
Behaves like a virus
Elementary body =resilient inactive bacteria
➡️ entry via attachment and endocytosis ➡️ elementary body ➡️ reticulate body = active replication bacteria
What is the transmission mode of chlamydia?
Intercourse
Congenital
What are the manifestations of chlamydia ?
Frequently asymptomatic
Ocular trachoma
Lymphogranuloma strain
What are the transmission mode of genital herpes?
Intercourse
Congenital
Women more than men
What is the pathophys of genital herpes?
Skin opening ➡️ replication ➡️ neurons ➡️ sacfal nerve ➡️ latency in dorsal root ganglion ➡️ stress/immunosup/metruation/UVB ➡️ reactivation
What are the manifestations of genital herpes ?
- Non-primary HSV (with hsv antibodies) ➡️ less sx and shedding lesions
- Primary genital infection (no Ab) ➡️ fever, muscles ache, less diuresis
- Recurrent infections (HSV 2 more than 1) ➡️ mild local Sx, shedding lesions
- Neonate infection (CNS lesions, seizures, mortality)
What are the mkst danferous strands of human papillomavirus ?
6, 11, 16, 18
What are the HPV (papillomavirus) manif?
Condylomara acuminate
- contagious ++
- painful Intercourse
- bleed easy
Giat cauliflower-like condylomata acuminate (cancer?)
What is scabies ?
Mites burrow to lay eggs
Long skin expo to parasites (intercourse, fomites)
Manif: pruritus
What is HIV?
RNA retrovirus
What cells does HIV target?
CD4 helper t-cells & macrophages
Wjat is thhe HIV life cycle?
- Virion bind to CD4 + chemokin receptor
- Fusion whit HIV membrane and host membrane
- Entry of viral genome in cytoplasm
- HIV RNA + reverse transcriptase = proviral DNA
- Intregration of provirus (DNA integrase) in host cell genome
- Synthesis HIV proteins
- Assemble virions
- Exocytosis
- Release of mature virion (new HIV virion)
What are the crucial HIV proteins?
gp120: CD4 $ CXCR4 or CCR5 binding
gp41: entry across membrane
Reverse transcriptase: RNA -> DNA conversion
DNA integrase: DNA insertion in host genome
How does HIV becomme AIDS?
Increase in HIV count
Decrease in CD4 + Th count
