Question
Answer
classification
malaria   feed on Hb of erythrocytes; p. vivax attach to rbc via Duffy blood group antigen   protozoa  
🗑
f. falciparum   "malignant" form of malaria   protozoa  
🗑
f. falciparum   PfEMP1 - makes rbc stick together (microcirulation disturbed)   protozoa  
🗑
babesiosis   Ixodes sp. (hard tick); DD: lyme disease and/or erlichiosis, minority of pts will manifest mixed infections   protozoa  
🗑
leishmaniasis   usu called by L.mexicanan and L. donovani; TX southward   protozoa  
🗑
leishmaniasis   inflammatory papule which usu ulcerates, at the site of the bite (bagdad boil) followed by regional lymphadenopathy; parasite remains   protozoa  
🗑
visceral leishmaniasis   (Kala Azar - India and Brazil) caused by L. donovani   protozoa  
🗑
visceral leishmaniasis   Sx: papule at bite; asym., splenomegaly, anemia   protozoa  
🗑
visceral leishmaniasis   result in intrauterine transmission and congenital visceral leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis   protozoa  
🗑
visceral leishmaniasis   disseminated can lead to multi-organ dysfxn and immune deficiency which predisposes to other infections   protozoa  
🗑
chagas disease   infects leukocytes initally and other cells of the body after dissemination via blood and lymphatics   protozoa  
🗑
chagas disease   infect myocardium; neurons of myenteric plexus -- esophagus, colon, ureters   protozoa  
🗑
chagas disease   acute - inflammatory papule, lymphadenopathy, hepatospl.; latent - may last a few yrs; symptomatic - minority of pts: heart, bowel, CNS   protozoa  
🗑
chagas disease   clinical manifestations often includes a combo of myocarditis, dilation of the esophagus, dilation of teh colon, and dilation of the ureter   protozoa  
🗑
strongyloidiasis   autoinfection can lead to disseminated hyperinfection w/ invasion of a number of internal organs   worm  
🗑
strongyloidiasis   in pt taking high doses of corticosteroids, chronic pneumonitis, incrased incidence of bac sepsis d/t bowel wall damage from invasive larvae   nematode  
🗑
strongyloidiasis   only helminth able to complete entire life cycle in human host which can lead to autoinfection   nematode  
🗑
cysticercosis   man ingests EGGS rather than encysted larva, becoming the intermediate (not definitive) host   cestode  
🗑
cysticercosis   eggs rise larvae which penetrate the bowel (CNS, eyes, skeletal muscle, subq)   cestode  
🗑
neurocysticercosis   high mortality rate and leads to the formation of multiple small cysts in the brain often exhibiting dystrophic clacification (seizures, hydrocephalus, chronic meningoencephalitis)   cestode  
🗑
echinococcus species   larvae disseminate to the lungs and liver where they form hydatid cysts in humans (liver - multilocular)   cestode  
🗑
ecinococcus species   larvae multiply in cysts which enlarge over yrs; can go to other organs   cestode  
🗑
schistosomiaiss   trematode infections can be classified based on the tissue invaded by adult flukes (blood, liver, lung, intestine)   trematode  
🗑
schistosomiaisis   "swimmer's itch" cercarial dermatitis   trematode  
🗑
schistosomiaisis   Katayama syndrome (fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatospl.)   trematode  
🗑
schistosomiasis   chronic form depends on tissue tropism of liver, intestinal, pelvic/urinary   trematode  
🗑
schistosomiaisis   blood fluke, S. haematobium = squamous cell carcinoma of bladder   trematode  
🗑
schistosomal dermatitis   non-path to humans as terminal hosts; enzymes for penetration cause intense inflammation and itching after abt 12 hrs   trematode  
🗑
lymphatic filariasis   intense granulomatous inflammatory response leading to lymphatic channel obstruction and lymphedema (elephantitis)   nematode  
🗑
acquired toxoplasmosis   injest meat, or ingest sporulated oocysts present in cat feces   protozoa  
🗑
acquired toxoplasmosis   in immune deficient pts, it can lead to necrotizing lesions in the CNS, heart, lungs, eyes   protozoa  
🗑
acquired toxoplasmosis   most common organ is CNS   protozoa  
🗑
congenital toxoplasmosis   first trimester = low; second trimester = transmission to fetus almost always occurs, but effects on fetus are minimal   protozoa  
🗑
congenital toxoplasmosis   toxoplasmosis triad: chorioretinitis, hydrocephalus, cerebral calcificaiton   protozoa  
🗑
entamoeba histolytica   bowel mucosa ulcerations; 1 in 20 cases complicated by intestinal perforation   protozoa  
🗑
entamoeba histolytica   amebic abscess in the liver; disseminated amebiasis is uncommon in immunocompetent, but does occur   protozoa  
🗑
entamoeba histolytica   amebic colitis w/ mucosal inflammation and ulceration   protozoa  
🗑
entaoeba histolytica   ameboma is tumor-like chronic inflammatory proliferation in the wall of the colon; systemic spread including lung, skin and liver   protozoa
