Test 90 Flashcards
suspected in pts who are competitive atheletes and present w/ ERYTHROCytOSIS, abnormal testicular size, fxn, hepatic abnormalities, acne
Steroid abuse
androgens stimulate RBC production
decrease goandotropin secretion
what do takayasu arteritis and temporal arteritis have in common
takayasu- aorta
temporal- distal carotid artery branch
both have GRANULOMATOUS INFLAMMATION of the media
leukocytic vasculitis
segmental FIBRINOID necrosis of SMALL VESSELS (microscopic polyangiitis, microscopic polyarteritis, hypersensitivity)
PAN
segmental transmural necrotizing inflammation of medium to small sized vessels (IC vasculitis)
THromboangiitis obliterans
Buergers
THROMBOsING of medium and small sized arteries (tibial and radial)
RA
hypersensitivity vasculitis affecting arterioles and arteries> visceral infarctions
Acute renal allograft rejection
Ab OR Cell mediated
diffuse LYMPHOCYTIC infiltrate of the RENAL vasculature, tubules and interstitium
protooncogene that facilitates GROWTH of adneomas by cuasing uncontrolled cell proliferation
K-ras
LOSE APC> colon at risk> KRAS> adenoma> p53, DCC (malig transformation)> carcinoma
mother w/ low grade fever, maculopapular rash, cephalocaudal progression, POSTERIOR AURICULAR LYMPHADENOAPTHY, and polyarthralgia
Maternal tubella
Congenital rubella
sensorineural deafness
cataracts
PDA
inhibits mycolic acid syntehsis in mycobacterial cells and is SPECIFIC to mycobacteria
Isoniazid (chemically related to B6)
long brnached chain of saturated FA used in mycobacterial cell wall and in formation of virulence factors
Myoclic acid syntehsis
Transmission of TB
Aerosolized in respiratory secretion>
smaller droplets deposit organisms in the alveoli of hter LOWER lung field>
organisms are engulfed by alveolar MPHAGES that allow for intracellular prliferation
eventually Ag carrying mphages/DC migrate to the LN and induce a helper T cell response
Ethambutol
EYEthambutol
optic neuritis> color blindness, central scotoma, decraesed visual acuity
reversible w/ discontinuation of drug
monitored in pts on chloramphenicol, dapsone or TMPSMX
CBC
aminoglycosides
ampho B
Renal function
amino= tubular necrosis
rifampin
isoniazid
pyrazinamide
hepatic function
ssRNA virus w/ BULLET shaped capsule
studded by glycoprotein spikes that BIND to NICOTINIC ACh receptors
RAbies
once deposited in a wound it stays local for asome weeks than moves retrograde to the CNS
CMV
cellular integrins
EBV
CD21
HIV
CD4
CXCR4/CCR5
Rhinovirus
ICAM1
CD54
