Question
Answer
opportunistic pathogen   can cause disease when the host's defenses are compromised or when they b/c established in a part of the body not known to them  
🗑
2 examples of opportunistic pathogens are   candida albicans and pseudomonas  
🗑
nosocomial infections   are not present upon admission to a hospital but are incurred during treatment there  
🗑
5 major symptoms of inflammation   fever, redness, swelling, pain, loss of function  
🗑
exotoxins that lyse RBC's are called   hemolysins  
🗑
what host protein maintains a low availability of iron in the body?   transferrin  
🗑
two phagocytic cell types   neutrophils & macrophages  
🗑
immunogloblin produced during the primary response   IgM  
🗑
which type of vaccine has a capsular polysaccharide linked to a protein antigen?   conjugated  
🗑
which bacterial toxin produces only gram negative bacteria?   Endotoxin  
🗑
how do Salk and Sabin polio vaccines differ?   Salk;injectable (IPV) inactivated (dead)::::Sabin attenuated (live) oral=sabin provides protection through the blood stream and through the mucosa at portals of entry and exit  
🗑
What do the polio vaccines have in common?   both eliminate polio in the individual  
🗑
When you have alternatives, why choose one over the other?   in the case of polio vaccination Salk vaccine provides individual protection; but Sabin vaccine allows protection for masses b/c portals of entry and exit are targeted, Sabin prevents epidemics  
🗑
DTaP vaccine is for=   Diptheria, Tetanus,and acellular Pertussis  
🗑
provide 3 examples of how the two available flu vaccines differ   Flumist;nasal spray, attenuated vaccine, alternative to injection, only recommended for healthy adults, more expensive::::Fluzone=injection, inactivated, least expensive of the two options  
🗑
what is a conjugated vaccine?   (blank)  
🗑
two reasons conjugated vaccines are used to protect against infant meningitis=   (blank)  
🗑
Three attributes of skin that make it your best defense against infection   keratinized (waterproof), provides barrier when intact, contains normal flora bacteria, is naturally acidic  
🗑
two approaches to prevent vector transmission that do not include vaccination or chemotherapy   insect spray, eliminate sources of standing water  
🗑
Endotoxins are   gram negative,  
🗑
Modes of transmission   air, contact, vector, vehicle  
🗑
resp droplets   air  
🗑
unprotected sex, kissing   contact  
🗑
ticks, fleas   vector  
🗑
contaminated blood transfusion   vehicle  
🗑
two ways individuals acquire normal flora   colonized at birth through the birth canal, then through breast milk, bottles, contact with people and objects  
🗑
artificial active immunity   childhood imm's  
🗑
artificial passive   temporary immunity achieved by iv administration of antibiotics  
🗑
natural active immunity   infection and recovery = long term immunity -example is chicken pox  
🗑
natural passive immunity   mother to baby thought placenta; short lived  
🗑
B lymphocytes   antigenic stimulation causes cells to differentiate into plasma cells which produce antibodies that recognize foreign antigens  
🗑
cytotoxic T cells   antigenic stimulation causes cells to release destructive enzymes to lyse host cells that are infected by viruses or intracellular bacteria  
🗑
helper T cells   upon stimulation by APC's cells differentiate into effector cells that coordinate the immune response by stimulating other immune cells with chemical messengers called cytokines  
🗑
examples of diseases that can persist as bacterial latency are   TB & syphilis  
🗑
chicken pox & cold sores are examples viral latency-when the virus reemerges it is in the form of   shingles  
🗑
WBC's Defense System   basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils  
🗑
basophils   triggers inflammation response  
🗑
basophils are filled with   granules containing histamines  
🗑
basophils move into tissue by   diapedesis and b/c mast cells  
🗑
Eosinophils are associated with   inflammation and allergies  
🗑
eosinophils attack and destroy   eukaryotic pathogens  
🗑
Eosinophils are present in the   bone marrow and spleen  
🗑
eosinophils have a ----nucleus   bi lobed  
🗑
Neutrophils circulate   in the bloodstream and tissues  
🗑
Neutrophils nucleus is   horseshoe shaped or polymorphic  
🗑
In the inflammatory process Neutrophils are the   first responders  
🗑
Neutrophils phagocytize   bacteria  
🗑
Leukocytes in the WBC defense system are   Granulocytic  
🗑
In the WBC defense system MTB's are   a'granulocytic  
🗑
Exotoxins are secreted   from living cells and disrupt intracellular function  
🗑
Exotoxins may originate in   gram - or gram + cells  
🗑
Exotoxins are toxic in   minute amounts; they are deadly  
🗑
Exotoxins target   specific cell types=blood, liver and nerves  
🗑
Diseases caused by exotoxins are   diphtheria, botulism, tetanus  
🗑
Exo   Ex(o)=outside  
🗑
Exogenous infections   originate from a source outside the body. May gain access through any of the normal portals of entry or may be an insect bite, scrape or cut in the skin  
🗑
Endo   (en)=inside  
🗑
endogenous infections originate   within an organism or its part. endogenous infections can occur when NF is introduced to a previously sterile site. EX is when E. coli enters the bladder and results in a UTI  
🗑
Endotoxins are actually a   LPS chemical found in the outer membrane of a gram negative cell wall  
🗑
Endotoxins are released   by dead cells-may be toxic in large amounts  
🗑
Endotoxins are only produced by   gram negative bacteria  
🗑
Endotoxins produce_______ effect.   a systemic effect=inflammation, fever  
🗑
Endotoxins in blood can lead to   fatal exotoxic shock OR salmonella, shigella, E. coli, N. meningitidis  
🗑
Monocytes are   agranulocytic; they are attracted to the site of inflammation and differentiate into macrophages to clean up  
🗑
T-cells originate in the   bone marrow and migrate to the thymus to await their calling  
🗑
Exotoxins can be converted into   a toxoid for vaccine purposes  
🗑
modes of transmission   vector, vehicle, contact, air  
🗑
Air   respiratory droplets  
🗑
contact   unprotected sex, kissing  
🗑
vehicle   contaminated blood  
🗑
vector   ticks, fleas  
🗑
MHC   major histocompatablilty complex  
🗑
It's role is to --   distinguish self from non self  
🗑
MHC-1   self, all nucleated cells  
🗑
MHC-2   non self, macrophages, dendritic cells  
🗑
analogy for MHC   wearing team uniforms  
🗑
what is a conjugated vaccine   a vaccine consisting of more than one antigen. For example, the MMR vaccine is a conjugated vaccine consisting of antigens specific for measles, mumps, and rubella.  
🗑
