Rheumatic fever
|
Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune inflammatory disease which may develop after a Group A streptococcal infection
|
|
|
|
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is:
|
PCP is a pneumonia caused by the fungal organism Pneumocystis carinii (now renamed Pneumocystis jiroveci). This organism is common in the environment and does not cause illness in healthy people only in imunocompromised peoples like AIDs
|
|
|
|
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) prognosis: AIDS
|
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia can be life-threatening, and respiratory failure can lead to death. People with this condition need early and effective treatment. For moderate to severe PCP in people with AIDS, the use of corticosteroids has decreased mortality.
|
|
|
|
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) typical symptoms:
|
* Cough -- often mild and dry
* Fever * Rapid breathing * Shortness of breath -- especially with activity (exertion) |
|
|
|
Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) preventative therapy is for:
|
* AIDS patients with CD4 counts below 200
* People on chronic high-dose corticosteroids * People who have had previous episodes of PCP |
|
|
|
Pneumocystis pneumonia the most commonly used medication is:
|
a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole, with the tradenames Bactrim, Septrin, or Septra)
|
|
|
|
Strep throat usually requires
|
treatment with antibiotics. along with plenty of rest and fluids
|
|
|
|
Strep Throat Spreads
|
normal activities like sneezing, coughing, or shaking hands
|
|
|
|
strep throat will start to develop
|
other symptoms within about 3 days, such as:
* red and white patches in the throat * difficulty swallowing * tender or swollen glands (lymph nodes) in the neck * red and enlarged tonsils * headache * lower stomach pain * fever * general discomfort, uneasiness, or ill feeling * loss of appetite and nausea * rash |
|
|
|
It's important to identify strep throat for a number of reasons.
|
strep throat can sometimes cause complications such as kidney inflammation and rheumatic fever.
|
|
|
|
Tuberculosis
|
is the only major AIDS-related opportunistic infection that poses a risk to HIV-negative people.
|
|
|
|
Symptoms of tuberculosis
|
Symptoms of tuberculosis depend on where in the body the TB bacteria are growing.
|
|
|
|
Tuberculosis bacteria often grow in
|
the lungs, causing pulmonary tuberculosis. Pulmonary tuberculosis may cause a bad cough that lasts longer than two weeks, pain in the chest and coughing up of blood or sputum.
|
|
|
|
Inactive TB
|
has no symptoms.
|
|
|
|
Other symptoms of TB disease include
|
weakness or fatigue, weight loss, lack of appetite, chills, fever and night sweats.
|
|
|
|
the multiple puncture technique has found favor as a screening tool,
|
For large groups of people
|
|
|
|
TB multiple puncture test, for multiple people, technique a positive result should be confirmed by
|
Mantoux testing unless vesiculation has taken place amongst the crowd that was screened.
|
|
|
|
TB Mantoux testing has the advantage of
|
using a standard amount of a standard potency reagent and thus is quantifiable and reproducible.
|
|
|
|
PPD geographic variation in skin test reactivity
|
blurs the region between a positive and a negative test in many areas
10 mm isn't always that big http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/ br.fcgi?book=cm∂=A1434 |
|
|
|
causes of a false negative intermediate-strength PPD
|
include concurrent viral infections such as rubella and rubeola, as well as some bacterial infections including brucellosis and typhoid fever. Live virus vaccines, such as measles, have been shown to inhibit the development of a positive test.
|
|
|
|
Groups at high risk of recent infection with M. tuberculosis,
|
immigrants from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania; some inner-city and "skid-row" populations; personnel and long-term residents in some hospitals, nursing homes, mental institutions and prisons
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Pelvic inflammatory disease (or disorder) (PID)
|
If there are symptoms then fever, cervical motion tenderness, lower abdominal pain, new or different discharge, painful intercourse, or irregular menstrual bleeding may be noted. PID can occur and cause serious harm without causing any noticeable symptoms

|
Primary syphilis
|
is typically acquired via direct sexual contact with the infectious lesions of a person with syphilis. Approximately 10-90 days after the initial exposure (average 21 days), a skin lesion appears at the point of contact, which can be anywhere on the body. This lesion, called a chancre, is a firm, painless skin ulceration localized at the point of initial exposure to the spirochete
|
|
|
|
Secondary syphilis
|
occurs approximately 1-6 months (commonly 6 to 8 weeks) after the primary infection.There may be a symmetrical reddish-pink non-itchy rash on the trunk and extremities. The rash can involve the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. In moist areas of the body, the rash becomes flat broad whitish lesions known as condylomata lata. Mucous patches may also appear on the genitals or in the mouth
|
|
|
|
syphilis is most contagious
|
during secondary syphilis sypmtoms In secondary syphilis, the bacteria has spread into the bloodstream
|
The most common symptom is a skin rash, which varies in appearance, yet frequently involves the palms and soles. Lesions called mucous patches may be seen in or on the mouth, vagina, or penis.
Moist, warty patches may develop on the genitalia or skin folds. These are called condylomata lata. |
|
|
Tertiary (third) syphilis usually occurs
|
1-10 years after the initial infection, though in some cases it can take up to 50 years. This stage is characterized by the formation of gummas which are soft, tumor-like balls of inflammation known as granulomas
|
|
|
|
Syphilis is detected by
|
Shortly after infection occurs, the body produces syphilis antibodies that can be detected by an accurate, safe, and inexpensive blood test
|
|
|
|
Genital sores (chancres) caused by syphilis make it easier to
|
transmit and acquire HIV infection sexually. There is an estimated 2- to 5-fold increased risk of acquiring HIV if exposed to that infection when syphilis is present.

|
Prostaglandins
|
Prostaglandins promote inflammation, pain, and fever, support the function of platelets that are necessary for the clotting of blood, and protect the lining of the stomach from the damaging effects of acid.
|
|
|
|
Prostaglandins are produced within the body's cells by the enzyme ...
|
cyclooxygenase (Cox). There actually are two Cox enzymes, Cox-1 and Cox-2.
|
|
|
|
Cox-1 produces
|
prostaglandins that support platelets and protect the stomach.
|
|
|
|
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block the Cox enzymes and reduce prostaglandins throughout the body.
|
ongoing inflammation, pain, and fever are reduced prostaglandins that protect the stomach and support the platelets and blood clotting also are reduced NSAIDs can cause ulcers in the stomach and promote bleeding.
