Week 3 Flashcards
Define passive immunization
Injection of purified antibody or antibody containing serum to provide rapid, temporary protection. (Also applies to how mommas grant some immunity to neonates, right?)
4 reasons for giving passive immunization
Post exposure prophylaxis
Ameliorate sx of ongoing disease
Replacement IVIG for immunodeficiency
Block action of toxins
vaccines provide _______ immunization
active
Live vaccines are especially helpful for this type of virus
enveloped
Live vaccines (5, technically 7)
MMR Oral polio Smallpox Yellow Fever Chickenpox
Small Yellow Chickens give Oral maMMogRams (or whatever was on the slides, I don’t care)
Inactivated whole pathogen vaccines
Inactivated polio (IPV) Rabies Influenza Pertussis Hep A
RIP IPV Hep A
Tdap vaccine type
Tetanus and Diphtheria toxoids, acellular pertussis
Conjugate vaccines
Pneumococcal
Meningococcal
HiB
Virus-like particle vaccines
Hep B?
HPV
Do vaccines work?
Yes
Are vaccines safe?
Absolutely not, they turn kids into autistic IV drug abusers with PTSD!
4 ways that organisms can get into the CNS
Direct inoculation (trauma, surgery)
Contiguous (sinuses)
Hematogenous (blood)
Neuronal (rabies creeps up your neurons from the site of the bite, that’s why it takes so long to get into the CNS. Neat, huh!?)
Meningitis organisms under 4 wk
Group B strep
E. coli
Listeria
[Neisseria gonorrhoeae (med school didn’t have this on slide, but I’ve seen it in other sources)]

3 common organisms for chronic meningitis
TB
fungal
syphilis
One way that TB can be seen by microscope
cord factor (I didn’t know how to word the question, but it seems like the sort of shit that would be on a test)
Most common yeast
Candida albicans
Common fungal pneumonia in AIDS patients
Pneumocystis jirovecii
fungus of tinea versicolor and seborrheic dermatitis
Malassezia furfur
fungal infection from rosebush thorn
Sporothrix schenckii
Face fucking fungus (tears up your cheek and shit)
Zygomycosis
Histoplasmosis is common in
the south, duh.
Blastomycosis is common
east of the missisip’
coccidiomycosis is common
in the southwest
histo, blasto, and coccidiomycosis initial symptoms (if any)
flu like
