Stages of syphillis
Primary syphilis is the first stage. Painless sores ( chancres) form at the site of infection about 2-3 weeks after you are first infected. You may not notice the sores or any symptoms, particularly if the sores are inside the rectum or cervix. The sores disappear in about 4-6 weeks, even without treatment. The bacteria become dormant (inactive) in your system at this stage.
Secondary syphilis occurs about 2-8 weeks after the first sores form. About 33% of those who do not have their primary syphilis treated will develop this second stage. These symptoms will often also go away without treatment and again, the bacteria become dormant (inactive) in your system.
Tertiary syphilis is the final stage of syphilis. The infection spreads to the brain, nervous system, heart, skin, and bones. The dormant bacteria may be detectable either by seeing the damage they cause to a part of the body, or through a blood test for syphilis.
treatment of syphillis
penicillin G benzathine, doxycycline, or tetracycline
what is Ghon's complex
Ghon's complex is a lesion seen in the lung that is caused by tuberculosis. The lesions consist of a calcified focus of infection and an associated lymph node
When do you see Ghon's complex, fibrocaseous lesions?
Ghon's complex - primary TB
Fibrocaseous lesions - secondary TB

AIDS
How do you treat oral thrush, what is it associated with
. Nystatin for superficial, amphtericin B for systemic

Associated with AIDs
What are argyle robertson pupils
Argyll Robertson pupils (“AR pupils”) are bilateral small pupils that constrict when the patient focuses on a near object (they “accommodate”), but do not constrict when exposed to bright light (they do not “react” to light). Associated with tertiary syphilis
In syphilis where do you get cankers and rashes
palms and soles
What bacteria causes syphilis?
It is best seen by?
Treponema palidum
best seen on darkfield microscopy
Tetralogy of Fallot
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is a congenital heart defect which is classically understood to involve four anatomical abnormalities (although only three of them are always present). It is the most common cyanotic heart defect, and the most common cause of blue baby syndrome
- pulmonary stenosis, ventral septal defect, overriding aorta, right ventricular hypertrophy.
Also has boot shaped heart.

symptoms include cyanosis, clubbing of digits, tet spells
Monckeberg's calcifications
Monckeberg's arteriosclerosis, also called medial calcific sclerosis, is a form of arteriosclerosis or vessel hardening, where calcium deposits form in the middle layer of the walls of medium sized vessels (the tunica media) It is often not clinical unless it is severe
Arteriscleroisis
Arteriscleroisis – thickeneing of small arteries, seen in hypertension, associated with onion skinning and malignant hypertension.
Complications of MI
. left ventricular failures, pulmonary edema, friction rub. Cardiac arrhythmia.
what chemical is elevated a few days after an MI?
, traponin elevated for a few days after heart attack
Blood tests for MI
•Troponin I and troponin T

•CPK and CPK-MB

•Serum myoglobin
Restrictive cardiomyopathy
In restrictive cardiomyopathy, the heart is of normal size or only slightly enlarged. However, it cannot relax normally during the time between heartbeats when the blood returns from the body to the heart (diastole).

Later in the disease, the heart may not pump blood efficiently. The abnormal heart function can affect the lungs, liver, and other body systems. Restrictive cardiomyopathy may affect either or both ventricles. It may be associated with a disease of the heart muscle.

The most common causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy are amyloidosis and scarring of the heart from an unknown cause (idiopathic myocardial fibrosis). It frequently occurs after a heart transplant.
Other causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy include:

•Carcinoid heart disease

•Diseases of the heart lining (endocardium), such as endomyocardial fibrosis and Loeffler's syndrome (rare)

•Iron overload (hemochromatosis)

•Radiation fibrosis

•!!!!Sarcoidosis!!!!

•Scleroderma

•Tumors of the heart

– involves interventricular septum, usuallysomeone’s young, playing basketball or whaterver hten just collapses. Loud S4
Aortic regurgitation
Aortic regurgitation is the diastolic flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle. Regurgitation is due to incompetence of the aortic valve or any disturbance of the valvular apparatus
