Front 6

Bacterial septicemia (sepsis)
GN or GP and why

Back 6

Life threatening complications
Gram negatives especially implicated (any form of bacteria can cause septicemia, but gram negative are lipid based cell wall, which are much more resistant to the immune system and antibiotics

Front 7

Endocarditis
CTR

Back 7

Bacteria lodged in heart valves
May be fatal
Alpha streptococci especially implicated

Front 8

Pericarditis
CR

Back 8

Inflammation of the pericardium
Rapid progression
Streptococcus pyogenes especially implicated

Front 9

Tularemia
CTR

Back 9

Caused by Francisella tularensis (GNB)
Transmitted by rabbits and squirrels
Results in septicemia

Front 10

Brucellosis (undulant fever)
CTR

Back 10

Caused by Brucella sp. (GNB)
Associated with cattle, elk, bison
May spread to liver, spleen, bone marrow
May result in abortion of fetus

Front 11

Anthrax
CTR

Back 11

Caused by Bacillus anthracis (GPB)
Associated with grazing mammals
Cause skin lesions and pneumonia

Front 12

Gangrene
CTR

Back 12

Caused by Clostridium perfringens (GPB)
Soft tissue death due to ischemia
Creates anaerobic conditions
Bacteria enter wound and grow on nutrients from tissue
Toxins destroy adjacent tissue, as the bacteria feasts on dead tissue it grows and consumes tissue faster

Front 13

Pasteurella multocida
TR

Back 13

GNB often associated with dog and cat bites
May result in septicemia

Front 14

Plague
CTR
When 100% fatal

Back 14

Caused by Yersina pestis (GNB)
Highly fatal disease transmitted by fleas associated with rodents
Results in swollen lymph nodes and fever
If transmitted to lungs, nearly 100% fatal (pneumonic plague)

Front 15

Lyme disease (originally found in lyme Connecticut)
CTR

Back 15

Caused by Borrelia burgdorferi (spirochete)
Transmitted by ticks
May result in cardiac and neurologic conditions

Front 16

Epidemic typhus
CTR

Back 16

Caused by Rickettsia prowazekii (rickettsia)
Transmitted by body lice
Results in rash, fever, death

Back 20

Caused by a filovirus
Transmitted by contaminated blood
Results in massive bleeding, death

symptoms (adult and fetal)

Back 23

Caused by Toxoplasma gondii
Transmitted by undercooked meat and cat excrement
Results in mild disease in adults
May result in severe fetal damage, causing retardation, or spontaneous abortion
