things to remember Flashcards
HIV
oncovirus NOT oncogenic
only virus with diploid
enveloped
inital manifestation of acute early HIV looks like
mononucleosis like syndrome
HIV is responsible for resurrgence of
M . Tuberculosis
HIV not associated with
adenovirus [conjunctivitis = pink eye]
HIV associated protozoa
cryptosporidium enterocolitis
[another protozoa is toxoplasmosis, but less associated with HIV]
intracellular parasite
treated with sulfadiazine [antibiotic]
toxoplasmosis
even some super killers have pretty nice capsules
e coli
salmonella
s. pneumonia
k. pneumonia
H. influenza
P. aeruginosa
N. meningitis
C. neoforman = crytoccocus neoforman
airbone fungus
cause opportunistic infections
aspergillus
cryptococcus menigitis
rhizopus
2x as more common in males
most commonly affects B cells
lymphadenopathy [disease affecting lymph nodes]
non contagious
heterozygous histology
non hodgkins lymphoma
1st indication of swollen lymph nodes
non hodgkins lymphoma
- lymphadenopathy [painless]
burkitt’s lymphoma is a type of non hodgkin’s lymphoma
TF
true
high grade b cell lymphoma [lymph gland tumor]
1st human cancer strongly associated with virus
burkitts lymphoma
Reedstern berg cells
bimodal = homozygous histo
anorexia, weight loss, low grade fever, night sweats
contagious
extranodular rare
hodgkins lymphoma
american form of burkitt’s lymphoma
americans are fat = abdominal mass
cleaner than africa = not likely EBV, jaw tumors rare
starry sky appearance of high grade B cell in histo
endemic form in africa and jaw tumors
burkitt’s lymphoma
increased bleeding time in pt with leukemia due to
thrombocytopenia [decreased number of blood platelet]
pt undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia will see more oral infections from c. albicans
oral candidiasis
hyperthyroidism = thyrotoxicosis
exopthalamous
tachycardia
fine tremor, fine hair
heat intolerance, warm moist skin
diffuse goiter [enlargement of thyroid gland]
seen in
grave’s disease
- hyperthroidism with TSH receptor antiboides
- TS Ig Ab binding to TSH receptor –> produce excess thyroxin
- weight loss, diarrhea,
- insomnia, irritability
pretibial myedema
butterfly shaped gland
what disease?
grave’s disease
simple NO to the plummer
Plummer’s Disease
simple nodular goiter
toxic nodular goiter
NEVER SEEN IN CHILDREN
risk factor = female 60+ yo
same symptoms as grave’s disease but no exopthalamus
plummer’s disease
congenital hypothyroidism most likely causes
delayed eruption of teeth
most common cause of hypothyroidism
hashimoto’s disease
