Q

What are the outcomes of a lytic infection of EBV?

Q

What is occuring in an EBV infection resulting in mono?

A

no new viruses are being made, and only a few of the viral proteins are being expressed. The virus triggers infected B lymphocyte proliferation and random IgM antibodies are secreted by these infected B lymphocytes. Both B cells and CTL’s can attack infected B cells

81
Q

What is the first thing that happens to M. tuberculosis after they are inhaled?

A

They are quickly phagocytosed by macrophages in the alveoli.

82
Q

How are M. tuberculosis able to survive phagocytosis?

A

They are able to survive because of their mycolic acid layer.

83
Q

What do the M. tuberculosis bacteria do as soon as they escape the phagosome?

A

They multiply in the cytoplasm of the macrophages.

84
Q

What type of cell is the first to be damaged by the M. tuberculosis bacteria?

A

Macrophages

85
Q

What is the consequence of the damage being done to the macrophages?

A

Inflammation occurs, and neutrophils and monocytes are brought in as a result, acute pneumonia could occur here (however at this point recovery is still possible and 40% are asymptomatic

86
Q

What is a tubercle?

A

It is the name given to the fibrous/CT wall (also known as a granuloma) that the macrophages form around the M. tuberculosis when they are unable to eliminate them. They do this in order to restrict their spread.

87
Q

Why is the tubercle effective at restraining the Mycobacterium tuberculosis?

A

Because they create a 1. acidic environment 2. anaerobic environment and 3. low nutrient supply

88
Q

What is a TB infection called when the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria are all trapped inside of tubercles?

A

It is a latent infection

89
Q

____ of the world has latent TB

A

1/3

90
Q

How could latent TB become an activated?

A

If the body defenses become weakened (by things like stress, AIDS, age, immune system suppression, etc.) latent TB can escape the tubercles and become active TB

91
Q

What are the 3 major consequences following the rupture of a tubercle?

A
  1. the infected area in the lung enlarges
  2. inflammation occurs, this results in fluid accumulation and therefore a decreased oxygen supply and a reflexive cough.
  3. the bacteria are able to spread due to coughing
92
Q

What are two complications that can present themselves as a result of an active TB infection?

A
  1. bacteria can enter the bloodstream and spread to pleura, pericardium, kidneys, bones, joints, and the CNS
  2. scar tissue that is left after recovery results in less oxygen capacity
93
Q

What is the incubation period for TB?

A

2-10 weeks

94
Q

What is the convalescence for TB?

approximately 6 months

95

A

approximately 5%

100
Q

What is the mortality rate for TB world-wide with treatment?

A

approximately 17%

101
Q

What is the mortality rate for untreated TB?

A

approximately 50%

102
Q

What is the Mantoux test?

A

It is a tuberculin skin test. 1. a very small about of M. tuberculosis protein extract is injected 2. if the person has been exposed (active, latent, immunization) then macrophages will accumulate 3. this results in a firm, red swelling to appear after 48 hrs.

103
Q

Why do macrophages in the Mantoux test accumulate?

A

Because the TB antigens injected stimulate memory T helper cells which then secrete interferon, the interferon is what signals the macrophages and causes them to accumulate

104
Q

How does the TB blood test = gamma release assay work?

A
  1. monocytes are collected from the patients blood sample and expose to TB proteins in a culture
  2. If monocytes have been exposed before, they will secrete IFN - gamma
  3. The IFN - gamma concentration can then be measured
105
Q

What are 2 major advantages to the TB blood test over the mantoux test?

A
  1. It is only sensitive to people who have actually been exposed to the infection and not to people who have been vaccinated
  2. It gives quick results
106
Q

How is a chest x-ray useful in diagnosing TB?

A

It allows for tubercles to be identified. It can also show scar tissue as well

107
Q

What is sputum staining in TB diagnosis?

A

It is “acid-fast” staining -> the sample is boiled, which melts the wax of the M. tuberculosis, stain is then able to enter into the cell. Cooling it allows for the wax to harden again, trapping the stain inside. The slide is then rinsed with 95% ethanol and 3% HCl, at this point only M. tuberculosis will be stained and visible

108
Q

What is the advantage to sputum sampling in diagnosing TB?

A

It is very sensitive. Even if you just have a single bacteria, it can grow into a colony and be observed

109
Q

What is the disadvantage to sputum sampling in diagnosing TB?

A

It takes a really long time (3-6 weeks). This is due to the long generation time of TB.

110
Q

How can PCR be used to diagnose TB?

A

Amplifying TB genes will allow you to know for certain that you have TB. Also, it would allow for the detection of resistance genes

111
Q

What is the fluorophage test?

A

Researchers designed a phage which infects only TB cells, injecting a gene known as GFP when it does. The GFP gene then uses the bacteria’s ATP to glow green allowing for the observation and detection of M. tuberculosis

112
Q

What was the treatment used for TB before a useful antibiotic was discovered?

A

The patients were placed in sanitaria. These are places with lots of good food and fresh air, the patients were to sleep outside as much as possible. This treatment actually cured 30% of patients

113
Q

How is active TB treated with antibiotics?

A
  1. first with a combination of 4 antibiotics for 2 months

2. then with a combination of 2 antibiotics for 4-7 mons

114
Q

How is latent TB treated?

A

With isoniazid (which inhibits mycolic acid synthesis) for 9 months

115
Q

Why is TB treatment so long?

A

Because most of the drugs are targeting replicating bacteria and therefore inactive drugs are unaffected and drugs need to be available for whenever they are activated.

116
Q

What is the DOTS program?

A

directly observed therapy short-course. It is a program developed by WHO to ensure that TB patients take their antibiotic treatments and carry them out to completion.

117
Q

What can be done behaviorally to prevent TB?

A

Screening

118
Q

What can be done chemically to prevent TB?

A

1-2 antibiotics can be given to close contacts of an infected person

119
Q

Why is the BCG vaccine for TB not used in the U.S.?

A

Because it is less safe, not particularly effective, and it obscures screening

120
Q

What is in the TB vaccine that exists?

A

a weakened live Mycobacterium bovis

121

A

10-40%

126

A

Most strains (H3N2) around 0.1%, however bird flue H5N1 is <50%

127
Q

What is hemadsorption? and how is it used to diagnose influenza?

A

Influenza virus when it infects mammalian cells causes them to express H and N proteins, RBC’s bind to H protein, therefore if influenza virus is present you will see a ring of red blood cells

128
Q

What does H stand for in the H protein?

A

hemagglutinin

129
Q
