inclusions
|
|
Another name for serous inflammation above the basal layer of cell

|
|
What cells are almost always present in fibrillar effusion?
|
Neutrophils (but you can also get fibrillar with a neutropenia)
|
|
Exudate consisting of neutrophils, necrotic cells, and edema fluid is characteristic of what morphological pattern of inflammation?
|
Suppurative or Purulent inflammation
|
|
What type of bacteria is best known for it's pyogenic (pus-producing) capabilities?
|
Staphylococcus
|
|
Staph is a deep seeding bacteria so it causes _________ - localized collections of purulent tissue
|
Abscesses
|
|
An abscess has a central region of what?
What lines the center? What is beyond that lining which indicates attempted repair and/or walling off? |
mass of necrotic leukocytes and tissue cells
zone of preserved neutrophils vascular dilation and parenchymal and fibroblastic proliferation occur |
|
One example of a purulent inflammatory reaction occurs from the bacteria ________, which is often misdiagnosed as fungus because of the formation
|
Actinomyces
|
|
What is a local defect, or excavation, of the surface of an organ or tissue that is produced by the sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue
|
ulcerative inflammation
|
|
Chronic reaction to ulcer: the ulcer develops _______ proliferation, scarring, and the accumulation of lymphocytes, _________, and plasma cells.
|
fibroblastic
macrophages |
|
Ulcerative inflammation has both acute and chronic inflammation. Why?
|
Epithelium worn out so acute at the exposed site, develops to chronic
|
|
AML, drugs, irradiation, chediak-higashi syndrome, and mets? can all cause a defect in what part of the immune response?
|
PMN production
|
|
Diabetes, alcohol, steroids, beta chain of integrins can all lead to problems in what part of the immune response?
|
Adherence
|
|
Diabetes and immunodeficiencies can both lead to what problem in the immune system?
|
Defective chemotaxis
|
|
Diabetes, decreased immunoglobulin and decreased protein C (PSPB), and chediak-higashi syndrome all lead to defective what?
|
phagocytosis
|
|
MPO deficiency, chronic granulomatous disease, severe G6PD deficiency all lead to problems in what?
|
Killing
|
|
What genetic defect disease results in decreased oxidative burst (killing)?
|
Chronic granulomatous disease
Recurrent bacterial infections are key to diagnosing the disease |
|
What enzyme is hereditarily defected in CGD patients?
|
X-linked
NADPH oxidase |
|
There are 2 forms of CGD: X-linked which effects the _____-bound component and autosomal ______ which requires having 2 copies to functionally stop cytoplasmic components
|
membrane
recessive |
|
Nitroblue Tetrazolium test: Increased NBT reduction implies ______ metabolic activity in the shunt
|
Increased - so black pigment in normal neutrophils, none in neutrophils that don't convert NADPH to NADP
|
|
CGD Pathogenic Organisms:
Staphylococci Enteric organisms: _____, serratia, slamonella Fungi: ______, aspergillus NOTE: NO VIRUSES and NOT STREP |
E. Coli
Candida |
|
E. Coli produces some H202 but it also produces some _____ to break it down so in CGD patients it is able to survive in a phagolysosome. ______ produces H202 but no ________ so it gets rid of itself.
|
catalase
Strep catalase |
|
Organs involved in CGD: Membranes include skin, GIT, lungs. What part of the RES?
|

|
2 histo things associated with CGD:
_______ inflammation with necrosis Necrotizing _________ lesions |
suppurative
granulomatoid (invasive, half-assed granuloma... can have many giant cells) |
|
In severe G6PD deficiency you can't make _____, so essentially it is the same lesion as CGD. Pentose phosphate shunt blocked
|
NADPH

|
Severe G6PD has a:
More _____ defect (hemolytic anemia) and _____ onset compared to CGD. However, same net result - failure of resp burst and reduction in O2 dep killing. |
