Trousseau’s syndrome
migratory superficial thrombophlebitis–indication of a visceral cancer!!
several episodes of thrombophlebitis in various sites in both arms and legds
visceral cancer!!
hypercoagulatbility is a common paraneoplastic sydnrome commonly seen with adenocarcinomas of hte pancreas, colon and lung
survives inside MPHAGES
dauses a disseminated mycosis in IMmunoCOMP pts
SYSTEMIC sxs
painful oral ulcers
lymphadenopathy
hepatosplenogmegaly
Histoplasma capsulatum
**may also see hilar adenopathy
Aspergillus fumigatus
MONOmorphic fungi w/ ONLY a mold form
seen in tissue w/ ACUTE ANGLE V shaped branidng
Most frequent opportunistic pathogen
extracellular
forms ovoid yeast cells w/ pseudohyphae
CAndida
causes meningoencephalitis, pulmonary crtptoccocis in those w/ HIV
has a LARGE polysaccharide capsule (INDIA INK YO)
Cryptococus neoformas
can cause a disseminiated mycosis in immunocomp pts
large thicked walled spherules w/ endosspores
coccioides immits
counteract PNS stimulation of vagus causing bronchoconstriction in lungs
tiotroprium
ipratropium
ABrupt onset of gross hematuria in a pt w/ sickle cell disease
dark rust colored or bloody urine and acute coliky flank pain d/t acute utreteral obstruction from sloughed paipillae
COMMON SXS!!
Papillary necrosis!
(anything that decreases renal blood flow)
seen w/ sickle cell
DM
analgesic nephroapthy
severe obstrucive pyelonephritis
Muddy brown granular casts in hospitalized pt w/ oliguira
ischemic tubular necrosis
microangiopathic hemolytic anemia
thrombocytopenia
ARF
HUS
IL-1
IL-6
TNFa
mediate SYSTEMIC inflammatory response
stimulate hepatic secretion of acute phase proteins (fibrinogen)
High levels of circulating fibringoen increased ESR
heavy, red, boggy lobe
congestion
alveolar exudate contains mostly bacteria
red firm lobe liver like consistancey
red hepaization
alveolar exudate w/ RBC, neutrophils, fibirin
gray brown firm lobe
gray hepatatization
RBC disintegrate
alveolar exudste contains neutrophils and fibrin
most likely cause of fatigue and new onset cardiac murmur in young adult
bacterial endocarditis
complication of bacteria lendocarditis
acute diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis secondary to circulating immune complexes
