Unit 4 Flashcards
blood-loving: requiring enriched media, containing blood/ its derivatives, that provide preformed growth factors, X & V; isolation usually requires presence of X and/or V factor in culture medium
HAEMOPHILUS SPECIES
FACTORS:
1. protoporphyrin IX which acts physiologically as hemin
2. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or NAD phosphate (NADP)
3. may also be provided by a suspension of hemolytic strains of bacteria
4. important component of cytochromes, catalase, & peroxidase
5. heat stable: incorporation of heat-lyses
6. heat labile; incorporation of yeast extract or other appropriate supplements

HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE:
1. common name:
2. requires ___ for growth
3. habitat:
- Pfeiffer’s bacillus
- requires both X & V factor
- upper respiratory tract
HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE: PATHOGENESIS:
_____: untreated cases have high fatality (up to 90%) even w/ prompt diagnosis
- similar presentation w/
- still a problem if a child is ___ years & not vaccinated
- most common cause of this in children between
MENINGITIS
- meningococcal meningitis
- <2
- 3 months & 6 y/o
HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE: PATHOGENESIS:
_____: acute inflammation & intense edema may cause complete airway obstruction and suffocation
- most common cause of this potentially fatal disease in children between ages of
EPIGLOTTIS
- ages of 2 & 4
HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE: PATHOGENESIS:
_____: early manifestation of acute H. influenzae type b meningitis but in some infants, may occur w/o meningitis
- fever, lethargy & high ____
BACTEREMIA
- neutrophil count
HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE: PATHOGENESIS:
_____: H. influenzae (nontypeable strains) are second to S. Pneumoniae as common cause of *** in children
- most frequently in children aged _____ w highest incidence among children ____
_____: OTITIS MEDIA
- 6 months-5yrs w highest incidence among children <3y/o
HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE: PATHOGENESIS:
_____: characterized by persistent cold symptoms, purulent nasal/ post nasal discharge, cough, fever, headache, and often facial pain
_____: particularly in individuals w/ other underlying pulmonary
infections
- can be a manifestation of systemic infections caused by
- similar to
SINUSITIS
PNEUMONIAE
- H. Influenzae type b
- pneumococcal pneumonia
HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE: VF:
- most important factor of H. influenza
- H. influenzae is the only member of the genus that produces
- favor attachment of nontypeable strain
- each component is responsible for invasiveness, attachment, & antiphagocytic function
- allows organism to resist
phagocytosis & intracellular killing by neutrophils and complement - allowing bacteria to attach to these surfaces
- paralyzing effect on sweeping motion
- play a significant role in human immunity

- OUTER MEMBRANE PROTEINS
HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE: PREVENTION:
H. influenzae type b (HiB) disease can be prevented by
vaccination: prepared from
- PRP-OMPC
- PRP-T
- PRP-D
- CRM197 mutant C. diphtheriae toxin protein
—-
depending on which vaccine product is chosen, the series
consists of 3 doses at ____ months of age or 2 doses
given at _____ months of age; booster =
purified capsular polysaccharide
of H. influenzae type b
- N. meningitidis outer membrane protein complex
- Tetanus toxoid
- Diptheria toxoid
- HbOC
—-
3 doses = 2,4,6
2 doses = 2,4
booster = 12&15 months
