granulocytopenia
decrease in the number of circulating neutrophils
ex. myelosuppressive cancer chemo
most important causes of fungal sepsis
candida and aspergillus
chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
neutorphils fail to mount a respiratory burst during phagocytosis; defect in the enzyme NADPH oxidase and hydrogen peroxide is not formed; patients are at risk for infectiosn with catalase positive organisms like S aureus; treat prophylatically with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
Th1 cells produce
interferon gamma and IL2 which activate CD8 cells, macrophages, and NK cells to clear intracellular infections through lysis of infected cells
TH2 cells produce

gag gene in HIV
core proteins
pol gene in HIV
reverse transcriptase or RNA dependent DNA polymerase and integrase
env gene in HIV
envelope glycoproteins
binding for HIV
HIV binds to CD4 receptor via gp120 causing conformational change and then coreceptor (CCR5 or CXCR4) binds; this brings gp41 into approximation with the cell membrane
tat and rev genes in HIV
transactivating factors which increase expression of viral RNA and proteins
Nef protein HIV
downregulates presence of MHC1 molecules
Vif protein in HIV
facilitates destruction of a cellular protein (APOBEC3G) capable of blocking reverse transcriptase when packaged withing the virus particle
80% of people who received factor 8 before 1984 are infected with
HIV
how to test fro HIV

4 types of malaria
P. falciparum (any age RBC), P. vivax (reticulocytes), P. ovale (older RBCs), and P. malariae (older RBCs)
malaria cycle
in infected mosquitos, plasmodia inhabit the salivary glands as sporozoites and enters the human blood stream and into the liver; sporozoites multiple and mature in liver cells and released into blood as merozoites and invade RBCs; some merozoites enter a sexual gametocyte stage which can be taken up by mosquitos; causes RBCs to be less deformable
special characteristic of P. falciparum
contains pfEMP-1 binds infected RBCs to receptos on the endothelial cells of venules and capillaries like ICAM-1 and CD36; also prevented from circulating in the spleen (can't be removed from circulation; irregular fever patters
parasites in RBCs are inhibited by
G6PD or thalassemia because it reduces the production of NADPH causing oxidative stress
P falciparum may be resistant to
chloroquine
chloroquine
blocks heme detoxification in the food vacuole
babesia microti
transmitted by a deer tick (Ixodes scapularis); flulike illness, with fever, chills, sweats, muscle aches and fatigue; infects RBCs; parasites form small rings in tetrads; clindamycin plus quinine
toxoplasma gondii
can cause mono like syndrome and congenital infection in first trimester-chorioretinitis; eat inadequately cooked meat or ingesting oocytes in cat feces; cats harbor the sexual cycle; parasites penetrate the gut wall and invade the blood stream and into the brain and heart; high IgM titer; treat with pyrimethamine plus sulfadiazine or clindamycin
leishmania
superficial ulcer to systemic infections; flagellum connected to kinetoplast (mitochondria like and has own DNA); phlebotomine sand flies; produces superoxide dismutase to protect against superoxide produced by macrophages; after being taken up they differentiate into nonflagellate called amastigote; treat with allopurinol and ketoconazole
trypanosoma cruzi
chagas disease; bite of the reduviid "kissing" bug; a chancre or tissue and lymph node swelling may develop at the bite site; can damage to nerves in GI tract (mega esophagus, megacolon) or conduction issues (right bundle branch block) or cardiomyopathy; FIBROSIS, treat with nifurtimox or benznidazole
trypanosoma brucei
african sleeping sickness from tsetse flies; fever and swollen lymph nodes; carries alternative forms of genes for genetic rearrangement; treat with eflornithine
naegleria fowleri and acanthamoeba are amebas that cause
meningoencephalitis; treat with imidazoles
M. genitalium
transmitted through sexual contact; causes urethritis, cervicitis, and endometriosis; diagnosed by PCR
M. hominis
transmitted sexually and vertically; causes PID, chorioamnionitis and postpartum fever; isolated in the CNS of newborns
U. urealyticum
transmitted sexually and vertically; causes urethritis, PID, chorioamnionitis and post partum fever; associated with chronic lung disease in premature infants with very low birth weights; has been isolated from the CNS of newborns
characteristics of mycoplasm pneumonia
lack a cell wall, require sterols for growth, causes tracheobronchitis and pneumonia, smallest prokaryote to grow on cell free media, highly fastidious, use serology and PCR, no cell wall (murein) so no gram stain; grow slowly
how does M. pneumonia bind and where is it located?
binds to respiratory epithelium through specialized adhesions (bind to carbohydrate receptors on epithelium) or fibronectin; involvement is limited to the respiratory mucosa and not the lung alveoli; bronchopneumonia; occasionally causes hemolytic anemia (check with cold hemagglutinin
treatment of mycoplasms is with
erythromycin, tetracycline, or fluoroquinolone
