present at birth

Q

anaphylaxis

A

Mediators are released systemically (e.g., after injection of a drug, after an insect sting).

The reaction occurs within minutes and can be life threatening because of bronchial constriction and subsequent airway obstruction and vascular collapse.

Q

HIV infectious process

A
  1. CD4+ T-cells become “HIV factory” to make new viral particles daily
  2. Gradually, CD4+ T-cell count falls, viral load rises
  3. Immune systems weakens
  4. Everyone with AIDS has HIV; not everyone with HIV has AIDS

Q

clinical manifestations of HIV

A

Mononucleosis-like syndrome (fever, swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, headache, malaise, nausea, muscle and joint pain, diarrhea, and/or a diffuse rash)
Neurologic complications (aseptic meningitis, peripheral neuropathy, facial palsy, or Guillain-Barré syndrome)
Highviral load(the amount of HIV circulating in the blood)
CD4+T cell counts fall temporarily but quickly return to baseline or near-baseline levels
Most infectious time because of the high amounts of circulating HIV.

Q

patho of HIV

A

Immune problems start when CD4+ T cell counts drop to < 500 cells/μL (Normal range 800-1200 cells/μL)
Severe problems develop when < 200 CD4+ T cells/μL

31
Q

clinical manifestations and complications for asymptomatic infections

A

Left untreated, a diagnosis of AIDS is made about 10 years after initial HIV infection
Symptoms are generally absent or vague and people do not change their high risk sexual behaviors

32
Q

clinical manifestations and complications for symptomatic infections

A

CD4+ T cells decline closer to 200 cells/μL
Symptoms become worse
HIV advances to a more active stage

33
Q

general manifestations

A

Weight loss
Cough
Sore throat
Headache
Swollen lymph nodes
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Muscle pain
Joint pain
Skin rashes
Fevers

34
Q

A

fever,
frequent night sweats,
chronic diarrhea,
recurrent headaches, and
severe fatigue may develop.

35
Q

opportunistic infections that occur with AIDS/HIV

A

Oropharyngeal candidiasis (Thrush)
Varicella – zoster virus (Shingles)
Persistent vaginal candida infections
Herpes (oral and/or genital)
Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia
Karposi’s sarcoma
Hepatitis B & C

36
Q

kaposi sarcoma

A

Malignant vascular lesions such as Kaposi sarcoma lesions can appear anywhere on skin surface or on internal organs.

37
Q

what treatment is there for kaposi sarcoma

A

local : radiation therapy, cryosurgery, or a topical retinoid, may be used if a person has only a few skin lesions

38
Q

oral hairy luemmoplakia

A

Epstein-Barr virus infection that causes painless, white, raised lesions on the lateral aspect of the tongue, can occur at this phase of the infection and is another indicator of disease progression.

39
Q

Pneumocystis jiroveci Pneumonia

A

Pneumocystis jiroveci is a type of pneumonia that can appear as an opportunistic disease associated with HIV infection.

40
Q

when would an opportunistic infection NOT occur

A

in the presence of a functioning immune system

41
Q

diagnostic criteria for AIDS

A

patient needs at least one of the following

1.CD4+T cell count drops below 200 cells/µL.
2.One of the following opportunistic infections :
Fungal
Viral
Protozoal
Bacterial
3. One of the following opportunistic cancers:
Invasive cervical cancer
Kaposi sarcoma (KS)
Burkitt’s lymphoma
Immunoblastic lymphoma
Primary lymphoma of the brain
4.Wasting syndrome.Wastingis defined as a loss of 10% or more of ideal body mass.

42
Q

diagnostic studies for HIV

A

May take several weeks to detect antibodies (window period)
Performed using blood or saliva
Combination (4th generation) tests can detect HIV earlier

43
Q

labs for HIV

A

CD4 T cell counts (marker for immune function)
viral load (lower = less active)
blod chemistry, CBC, stool, biopsy

44
Q

interprofessional care for HIV

A

Monitor disease progression, immune function, and manage symptoms
Initiate and monitor ART
Prevent, detect and/or treat opportunistic infections
Prevent or decrease complications of therapies
Prevent further transmission of HIV

45
Q

goals of drug therapy for HIV

A

Decrease viral load
Maintain/increase CD4+T counts
Prevent HIV-related symptoms and opportunistic diseases
Delay disease progression
Prevent HIV transmission

46
Q

HIV cannot be cured but what can delay the disease progression by decreasing viral replication

A

ART (when taken consistently and correctly)

47
Q

when is ART therapy started

A

To avoid burnout and non-adherence, treatment is recommended when immune suppression is great

48
Q

what is the benefit of using drugs from different classes for HIV

A

combination therapy can inhibit viral replication in several different ways, making it more difficult for the virus to recover and decreasing the likelihood of drug resistance.
