Question
Answer
immune deficiency   insufficient production of either antibodies or immune cells or a combination of the two  
🗑
autoimmune disease   body is unable to differentiate between foriegn cells and self  
🗑
depression of short term immune function   most commonly caused by viral infections such as flu, mononucleosis, measles  
🗑
HIV   human immunodeficiency virus causes AIDS  
🗑
AIDS   Aquired immuno deficiency syndrome- groups of symptoms associated with depression of immune system caused by HIV infection  
🗑
goal of aids treatment   slow and eventually stop transmission of virus  
🗑
mode of transmission   infected blood body fluis and tissue  
🗑
retrovirus   virus that integrates itself into the genetic material of host cell thus changeing the DNA of host cell  
🗑
CD4 lymphocyte   primary host cell in HIV infection  
🗑
mode of exposure to HIV   exposure to body fluids, blood or tissue is the ONLY mode. does not include perspiration.  
🗑
most HIV cases spread through   sexual contact  
🗑
Nonoxynyl-9   shown in studies to inactivate or kil HIV in test tubes, but because of irritation factor to mucosal membranes, increases transmission risk. Found in spermacides  
🗑
fetal transmission   through breastmilk to newborns, may or may not be transmitted to fetus during gestation. risk increases with vaginal deliveries  
🗑
retrovirus   viral disease that integrates itself into the genetic material of the cell it affects changing the host celss DNA  
🗑
CD4 T-lymphocyte   primary host sight for HIV  
🗑
Defintion of AIDS   acc to CDC- HIV infected person witha CD4 count of less than 200 cells/mm3  
🗑
HIV-1   one of two types of HIV virus most common in US Europe and Asia  
🗑
HIV-2   one of two types of HIV virus most common in AFRICA  
🗑
reverse transcriptionase   enzyme that allows for retroviral reproduction in host cells  
🗑
CD4+   refers to T lymphocytes that have the CD4 protien on their surface membrane.  
🗑
function of CD4+ T cells   activate the B cells, natural killer cells and Phagocytes  
🗑
how HIV infects   virus attaches to cell at CD4 receptor sights  
🗑
OI   opportunistic infections. environmental organism that infect at time of immunosuppression  
🗑
sentinel infection   infection that may indicate underlying immunosuppression  
🗑
ELISA   Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay- most common test for HIV determination  
🗑
HIV status   not confirmed until two seperate ELISA tests are performed (1-3 mos apart) BOTH - or +  
🗑
management of early HIV   particular attention is paid to eye/mouth condition nuero status, skin, lymph nodes and S&S of OIs  
🗑
NNRTIs   nonnucleoside reverse transcriptionase inhibitors- act by binding to and disabling Reverse transcriptionase protiens (block HIV replication)  
🗑
Protease inhibitors   PIs prevent HIV from being assembled and released by disabling a protien needed for replication  
🗑
HAART   Highly Active AntiRetroviral Therapy- combincation of drugs most commonly recommended as HIV treatment ( and for KS)  
🗑
MOst Common OIs   Herpes (entire spectrum) hepatits, Cytalo megalo virus (CMV), Mycobacterial Tb (MTb) and avium complex (MAC) PCP, candidiasis, histoplasmosis, toxoplasmosis, cryptosporiadiasis  
🗑
MTb   50% of all HIV infected persons get MTb in places OUTSIDE OF LUNGS  
🗑
Herpes   clear liquid from lesions is highly contagious  
🗑
Prodrome   Period of time during which early symptoms precede actual herpetic vesicle outbreaks  
🗑
HSV 1   sexually transmitted forms of herpes  
🗑
Herpes Zoster (HZV)   aka varicella Zoster. the herpetic virus that cause chickenpos and shingles.  
🗑
why is shingles os painful   viral vesicles appear along dermatomes (nerve tracts)  
🗑
recurrent HZV   outbreak usually occurs at time of increased stress. may occur because of increased immunosuppression.  
🗑
7th cranial nerve   HZV eruptions of face usually occur here, and are dangerous because of increased risk of corneal scarring and blindness  
🗑
acyclovir (Zovirax)   drug of choice for herpes treatment  
🗑
foscarnet (Foscavir)   IV drug for treatment of advanced HZV infections. HIGHLY NEPHROTOXIC.  
🗑
IV treatments for HZV   all IV treatments for HZV require PREINFUSION HYDRation b/c they are so nephrotoxic  
🗑
CMV   spread in person to person contact via body fluids. form of Herpes virus that affect CNS circulatory,lungs or hepatic tracts but is most common in retina and GI tract.  
🗑
retinal CMV   requires continmuous tretment to prevent blindness. may be treated with intravitreal implants of ganciclovir  
🗑
Ganciclovir   IV or intravitreal drug that treats CMV. Valgancyclovir (Valcyte) is oral version  
🗑
cidofivir (Vistide)   IV drug for CMV retinitis. Highly nephrotoxic and requires pre and post hydration  
🗑
Directly observed therapy   notation by DHHS stating that healthcare workers should DIRECTLY OBSERVE MEDICATION CONSUMPTION to assure compliance. common for MTb patients  
🗑
MAC   Mycobacterium avium complex- acid fast bacillus mycobacterium that affect GI and respiratory tracts and BONE MARROW. occurs with seriously depleted CD4 copunts  
🗑
cryptococcosis (cryptooccus neoforms) (do not confuse with Cryptosporidosis)   fungal infection that causes fungal meningitis ro highly disseminated fungitis in HIV infected persons with CD4 counts <100cells/mm3  
🗑
histoplasmosis   environmentally related OI fungal infection common along the northeastern US region and candian border gnerally a pulmonary infection  
🗑
candidiasis   "yeast" fungal infection that affect epithelial and mucosal linings.  
🗑
recurrent vaginal candidiasis   most common presenting symptom of HIV (early ) in women  
🗑
Pnuemocystis jiroveccii   formerly p. carinii. fungal pnuemonia common in in HIV infection when CD4+ count is >200. Deactivates when CD$ is less than 200  
🗑
pnemocystosis   infection with a form of fungal pnuemonia  
🗑
cryptosporidosis (crypto)   InNtestinal PROTOZOAN that casues excessive, watery, foul smelling diarrhea. Spreads rapidly by contaiminated food water and personal contact via human or VECTOR. may be transmitted to healthy individuals but is usually self limiting.  
🗑
dangers of crypto   severe rapid elektrolyte depletion and dehydration  
🗑
toxoplasmosis (toxo)   protozoan infection. found in poorly cooked meats (esp. pork and wild game) and in CAT Feces. Most commonly affect the CNS, but may hit GI (esp.colon), or CV organs. extremely tetratogenic

🗑
lymphedema   abmormal collection of lymph fluid causing swelling  
🗑
anascara   generalized massive wedema caused by a severe depletion of albumin due to inadequite nutritional intake  
🗑
whos is more vulknerable to HIV infection   generally women, because semen contains a far higher concentration of HIV than vaginal secretions  
🗑
   
🗑
