____1___ is caused by Bordetella pertussis which is a Gram ___2__ __3___(aerotolerance) __4__(shape) that produces __5__ (structure).
Whooping Cough Pertussis
Capsule allows attachment to ciliated cells in the trachea, destroys these and shuts down the ciliary escalator; tracheal cytotoxin of cell wall damages ciliated cells; toxin enters the bloodstream

- before vaccines, 6000 people died annually in the U.S.; aggressive coughing can can cause brain damage in infants or break ribs in children or burst blood vessels in eyes, bruising of eyes, organ damage


- 3 stages

Whooping Cough Pertussis
Stage 1: Catarrhal stage - Cold-like symptoms. Stage 2: Paroxysmal stage -Violent coughing, gasping for air, accumulated mucous has accumulated and patient tries to clear it

Stage 3: Convalescence stage may last for months


Prevention: DTaP vaccine; Treatment: with erythromyocin or other macrolides

6. Mycobacterium bovis


7. Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex

___1___ is caused by ___2___ genus which is an acid-fast __3__(aerotolerance) __4__(shape) with a 20 hour generation time. The three causative species are ___5___, __6__ and ___7___.

Mycobacterium
Genus - Inhaled organisms are phagocytized by alveolar macrophages with spread mycolic acids from its cell wall to stimulate inflammatory response; organisms are isolated in the walled-off tubercle; tubercles heal and become calcified called Ghon's complexes; tubercle breaks down, releasing bacteria into the lungs and cardiovascular/lymphatic system
Slide 15
Slide 15
Tuberculosis
- Disease where Lipids in the cell wall make it resistant to drying and antimicrobials and avoid immunity; military type associated with disseminated infection; 9 million develop annually; 2 million die; 1/3 of world's population infected; leading cause of death for those with HIV
1. T-cells

2. delayed


3. acid-fast


4. 6 month


5. BCG


6. bovine

Tuberculin skin test: positive reaction means a current or previous infection; ___1___cells react with purified protein derivative from the TB bacterium by ___2___ hypersensitivity induration; followed by X-Ray or CT exam; __3__ staining of sputum and bacteria culturing; new rapid blood test for IFN-y and PCR test with higher specificity and less cross-reactivity; Treatment: __4__ minimum drug therapy due to slow growth and dormancy; first-line drugs, second-line drugs, multi-drug resistant strains, extensively drug-resistant strains; Prevention: ___5___ vaccine: live culture of avirulent M. ___6___ not widely used in the US from questionable effectiveness

1. bovine


2. avium intracellulare complex

Mycobacterium __1__ causes tuberculosis in cattle, less than 1% of cases. Mycobacterium ___2___ infects people with late-stage HIV infection
Pneumonia
- Typically caused by Streptococci - about 90 serotypes - Gram positive encapsulated diplococci

- Other microorganisms are atypical


- Symptoms: High fever, breathing difficulty and chest pain

Pneumonia

- Infected alveoli of the lung fill with fluids and RBCs interfering with oxygen uptake

- Diagnosis: Optochin inhibition test, bile solubility test or antigen in urine; Prevention: conjugated vaccine

Influenzavirus
- Contains 8 RNA segments and outer lipid bilayer

- Chills, fever, headache and muscle aches with no intestinal symptoms


- 30-50,000 deaths in the U.S. annually; Avian, swine and mammalian strains; Swine serve as "mixing vessels" for new strains; Hemagglutinin (HA) spikes which recognize and attach to host cells; Neuraminidase (NA) spikes which helps virus separate from the infected cell; 1% mortality, usually very young and very old

- Influenza

- Antigenic drifts: Allow minor antigenic changes in HA and NA, allow virus to elude some host immunity; Antigenic shifts: Allow changes great enough to evade most immunity which can lead to pandemics and involve the reassortment of the 8 RNA segments

- Prevention: Multivalent vaccine for the most important strains - composition of the vaccine determined annually by the identification of circulating viruses which is labor-intensive to produce and does not form long-term immunity; difficult to diagnose form clinical symptoms; Treatment: zanamivir (Relenza) and oseltamivir (Tamiflu) which inhibits neuraminidase

Pertussis


Tuberculosis


HIV

Causes by lentivirus (retrovirus)

HIV

- Two identical strands of RNA; reverse transcriptase enzyme; phospholipid envelope

Reverse transcriptase

Enzyme used by Lentivirus to transcribe own DNA, integration

Provirus

Term for Virus that is hidden in chromosome to stay latent

1. Helper


2. Macrophages


3. Vacuoles


4. Antigenic

Some become ___1___ T cells that serve as reservoir for HIV, some __2__ can have virons in their __3__. Virus undergoes rapid __4__ changes and high rate of mutation. Antibodies ineffective.

HIV 1

- viruses that infect chimpanzees and gorillas


- 99% of cases


- group m (majority) accounts for 90%

HIV 2

- Related to viruses that infect monkeys and sooty mangabeys


- Not often encountered outside of Africa


- Less pathogenic than HIV-1

HIV

Phase 1: asymptomatic or lymphadenopathy (Swollen lymph nodes – Innate Immunity)Provirus


Phase 2: CD4+ T cells decline steadily; only a few infected cells release the virus; few serious disease symptoms (persistent infections, fever, and oral leukoplakia)


Phase 3: AIDS develops; the CD4+ is count below 200 cells/μl; indicator conditions

HIV

- Initial strong and effective immune responseCTLs=CD8


- T- cells suppress viral numbers


- Attack viral CD4+ T cells


- Once HIV establishes a pool of latently infected CD4+ T cells, it is impossible to clear the infection


- Challenge to make a vaccine

HIV

- Older adults and young children do not a have fully developed immune system, making them more susceptible


- Exposed, but not infected populationCCR5 mutation on the CD4+ receptors so HIV cannot bind- Long-term nonprogressors “survivors” stay at Phase 1


- Low viral load


- HIVEffective CTLs

HIV

- Antiviral Therapy (PG 542)

Prevent release of virons
