VII- Bacterial STI Flashcards
presentation of chyamydia trachomatis
serovars A,B,C
chronic follicular conjuctivitis > scarring > eyelids turn inward > eyelashes abrade cornea > corneal ulceration > blindness
chlamydia presentation women
serovars D-K
- vague abdom discomfort or spotting
- mucopurluent cervicitis > endometritis > endosalpingitis > pelvic peritonitis
pres of neisseria gonorrhoeae
in men
acute urethritis 95%
-discharge range from scant to profuse purluent
-epididymitis complication (unilateral testicular pain, swelling, tender)
pres of treponema pallidum
aka syphilis
1. primary = single painless lesion/chancre > cartilaginous ulcer > resolves in few weeks
2. secondary = skin lesions all over body but trunk and extremities first, pale red/pink, nonithcy + nonspecific + mucotaneous lesion
3. latent = no symps but still transmit and produce antibodies
4. late = tabes dorsalis (demyelination) + cardiovasc + benign gymma of solitary lesions ad central necrosis
neurosyphilis symptoms
- meningeal with headache/nausea/stiff neck/cranial nerves, seizures
- meningovascular syphilis with vasculitis and stroke
- general paresis - change in personality, halluncinate, delusions, inc reflex, mem loss
pres of mycoplasma genitalium
NGU in males, PID in women but commonly asymptomatic
non gonococcal urethritis
pres of ureaplasma urelyticum
NGU in males, pyelonephritis, spontaneous abortion, premature birth
pres of haemophilus ducreyi
chancroid in dev countries, sex workers, and drug users from break in skin during contact
-multiple lesions that bleed easy> inflammed papule > pustule > painful ulcer
H. ducreyi features
- fastidious
- gram neg coccobacillus
- growth factor X and V required
- chocolate agar
diagnose/treat H. ducreyi
- painful ulcers + lymphadenopathy without syphilis or HSV
- macrolide treat (azithromycin or erythromycin)
pres of klebsiella granulomatis
aka donovanosis associated with poor hygiene
-painless wartlike papule from trauma > ulcer
types of klebsiella lesions
- classic - beefy, red, bleed easy
- hypertrophic/verrucous ulcer with raised irreg edge
- necrotic - offensive smelling, tissue destruct
- sclerotic/cicatricial with fibrous scar tissue
Klebsiella granulomatis features
- gran neg rod
- capsule with mucoid like colonies
- donovan bodies on wrights stain- large mononuclear pund cells with intracytoplasmic cysts (deeply stain, safety pin)
epidemiology of chlamydia
most commonly reported in US
-entry thru microabrasions
epidemiology of N. gonorrhoeae
2nd most common reported bacterial in US
mycoplasma and ureaplasma features
- no cell wall so resistant to antibiotics that target
- sterols in cell membrane
- fried egg appearance
virulence factors for N. gonorrhoeae
- pili for adherence and transfer genetic material, resistance to neutrophil killing
- antigenic variation of pilins at C terminus
- opacity associated protein Opa
- porin
- LOS
- immunoglobulin A1 protease
- antibiotic resistance
life cycle of chlamydia
infected epi cells form membrane bound cytoplasmic inclusions
1. uptake of elementary bodies
2. initial inclusions
3. fusion of inclusions and RBs appear
4. RBs multiply and inclusion enlarges
5. RBs convert to EBs or persist as large aberrant if IFN-y then return to normal
6. RBs release
characteristics of chlamydia
- small nonmotile bacteria
- obligate intracellular parasite so needs ATP and will not grow on artificial media
- unique cell wall
