Where you can get an infectious disease:

Plane old infectious diseases that we get because someone sneezed on us. Flu, colds, etc. NOT from a medical setting.

When infectious disease has been acquired from a medical treatment, advice, procedure e.g. catheter, IV surgery

ID acquired in the hospital/treatment center e.g. wound infections, pneumonia, etc.
Community

Iatrogenic

Nosocomial
Proteins, not living at all, but they can cause disease
prions
Disease transmission can be _____ or _____

Indirect involves _____.
Indirect
Direct (involving person-to-person)
Vectors
What etiologies live in the soil
fungi
Indirect transmission (as opposed to direct person to person) involves _____ and _____ vectors.
non-animal and animal
Disease from an animal vector
Malaria & rabies
Etiology from the respiratory system
TB
What's in feces
E Coli
Enteric refers to
the GI tract
Understanding the _____ events for any organism is necessary so that prevention methods can be devised.
transmission
When viruses & bacteria enter blood

What's our body's response?
viremia
bacteremia

inflammation (acute & chronic)
Natural History of Infections
Enter through a barrier
Multiply
Spread locally
Enter blood
Disseminate

EMS ED
Outcomes of infectious diseases
Recovery
Complications
Death
_____ cancers are caused by viruses
cervical
S/S of microorganism etiologies
all of those of acute and/or chronic inflammation...white blood count included
Infectious Diseases cause cell/tissue damage by
_____-like a virus which gets in the cell and it just bursts
_____-by toxins produced by microorganism (food poisoning)
Trigger host response (_____)
Direct injury of cells (viruses get in cells and they burst)
Indirect by toxins produced by microorganism
Trigger Host Response (Inflammation )
Fungi usually live in
yeasts and molds
Superficial vs. Deep fungi
Superficial involve low morbility/sickness. Deep (lungs, heart, kidney) are the opposite and can result in death
Pathogenesis for Fungi
Inflammation (+/- granulomas)
Body's response to viral infections

Named viral infections
Chronic Inflammation (humoral/cellular)

viral_____itis
Fungal infections are seen especially in people who are _____ like _____, _____, and _____.
Immunocompromised
transplants
AIDS
chemotherapy
Staphylococcus, Streptococcus are bacteria found on our _____ and _____. They're a problem when they get inside our body.
skin & oral cavity
Bacteria in our GI tract
E Coli
Antibiotic:
Difference between Broad spectrum and Specific/Selective
A drug may be effective against many different bacteria vs only 1 or a few types of bacteria.
Antibiotic:
Difference between B. Bactericidal vs Bacteriostatic
A drug may kill bacteria vs a drug may just limit the growth and proliferation of bacteria
Basic Mechanism of Antibacteria Drug Action
Inhibition of _____, _____, or _____.
cell wall synthesis & function...Bactericidal (Penicillin)
protein synthesis...Bacteriostatic (Erythromycin)
DNA/RNA function...Bactericidal and Bacteriostatic
A given bacteria may develop either _____or _____ resistance
Single Multidrug
Why do we get vaccinations?
So that our bodies create protective IgGs and chronic inflammation can occur quicker next time
Pathogenesis of Infectious Diseases
= Incubation period
+/- Transmission
Necrosis
A/C Inflammation
Neoplasms
There are _____+ viruses which cause human illness. It's the ____ common cause of human illness. Composed of _____.
400
most
a few proteins + DNA/RNA
Polio attacks
Hep A-E attacks
Virus which attacks motor neurons
Virus which attacks liver cells
Pathogenesis of fungi
A/C inflammation (+/- granulomas)
TB which live IN our cells when it infects them
mycobacteria
Bacteria make many toxins:
Exotoxins are _____ and include _____ & _____
Endotoxins are part of the _____ (and triggers many _____)
secreted by the bacteria
cholera/diarrhea
bacteria cell wall
inflammatory signals
Pathogenesis of Bacteria
A/C Inflammation (especially humoral)
Bacteria evolve and become resistant by
Destroying the antibiotic
Modifying the site where the antibiotic binds to it
Developing ways to keep the drug out of the interior
What's the big problem we're concerned with
MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus)
Adverse effects of antibiotics
rash, diarrhea, UV Hypersensitivity
Antiviral drugs are those that are effective in inhibiting the _____ of pathogenic viruses. They do not _____ the virus
lifecycle
kill
Important Steps in Viral Infection:
1. adsorption of virus onto host cell/_____ on the host cell. That might be the step that the antivirals choose to inhibit.
2. Penetration and _____ of the virus in the host cell. It sheds it outer layer so the raw DNA is available.
3. _____ of Viral particles in the host cell so that it can replicate.
4. Maturation and _____ of new viruses
BINDING
uncoating
Synthesis
release
Basic Mechanisms of Antiviral Drug Action
1. Block 1 or more of the steps of viral infection
2. These steps are _____ for each virus…so the drugs are specific for a virus. It’s going to be different for a liver cell or for a respiratory virus. For uncoating, the enzymes are going to vary from virus to virus. There’s so much individuality. Drugs have to be specific to a specific virus.
3. These generally have to be _____ as soon as the viral infection begins. Otherwise, you have too many baby virus cells out there.
specific
started
Examples of viruses and their antiviral drug
• Herpes simplex types 1 and 2 (cold sores and genital herpes/sores)…Acyclovir
• Influenza A (serious outbreaks of the flu)…Amantadine
• HIV (AIDS)…Reverse transcriptase inhibitors
