Micro Biology Test 4

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Disease
Key Word
Carbuncle   Very easy to transmit    
🗑
Scalded Skin Syndrome   Caused by 2 exotoxins called exfoliants    
🗑
Pyoderma/Impedigo   Not just direct contact, fomites moist towels or objects    
🗑
Acne   Propionibacterium acnes and others    
🗑
Burn infections   Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, blood flow is missing thus, no WBC (phagocytes) are available to help fight the infection    
🗑
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)   Moves from urethral opening up the the urethra to the bladder    
🗑
Lyme Disease   Borrelia burgdoferi, a spirochete, gram variable, may stain as a Gram negative    
🗑
Rubella/German Measles   Especially Serious during the 1st 8 weeks of pregnancy    
🗑
Rubeola/Measles   Koplik's spots: White spots with central bluish cheeks, appear on the upper lip and cheek mucosa 2-3 days before other symptoms appear    
🗑
Varicella/Chicken Pox   Release of this virus causes fever and malaise, Lesions appear in cyclic crops every 2-4 days that are synonymous with viral replication,    
🗑
Varicella/Shingles   Can be seen in infants and children, usually occur unilaterally on one side of the trunk like a girdle, a person who has not had chicken pox (or vaccine) can get shingles from shingles lesions    
🗑
Mumps   Can cause sterility but rare, can replicate in other glands and organs (other than the respiratory tract) like the testes and meninges, part of MMR vaccine    
🗑
Herpes Simplex Skin Infection   Recurrence is always in the same place as the initial infection    
🗑
Genital Warts   Common in the U.S    
🗑
Cytomegalovirus   In severe in neonatal infections (about 4000 cases per year in U.S) growth retardation, brain damage, liver damage, hearing loss, and death in about 30% of cases    
🗑
Gonorrhea   40% of males and 60-80% of females are asymptomatic and can act as carriers for 5-15 years, infection of the lymphatics of the pelvic area, NO penicillin    
🗑
Syphilis   Organisms multiply and spread throughout body, in Teritary stage, symptoms are due to formation of granulomatous inflammations called GUMMAS    
🗑
Nongonococcal Urethritis   Chlamydia tractomatis (Some my Mycoplasma)    
🗑
Trichtomonas   Only infects the vagina when vaginal pH is abnormal, signs/symptoms: copious, white, fowl-smelling discharge, especially in female having consistency of raw egg white    
🗑
Lesionaires Disease   Death is usually due to shock and kidney failure, linked to water, enters patient via aerosols breathed into lungs    
🗑
Tuberculosis   Most active cases of TB disease result from Reactivating old infection (most), or have AIDS (which may also be reactivated)    
🗑
Bacterial Meningitis   Main causes of meningitis broken down by age group    
🗑
Influenza   With surface antigens on spikes called Hemagglutinin is responsible for infectivity, it attached to receptor sites on the RBS's and other host cels   Some also have neuraminidase spikes, an enzymes that helps the virus penetrate the mucus layer protecting the respiratory epithelium and get out of infected cells  
🗑
Antigenic Variation   Changeability that occurs by antigenic drift and antigenic shift    
🗑
Pharyngitis (Sore throat)   Usually caused by a virus 90%, roughly 10% of cases are bacterial, 95% of those bacterial cases are caused by Strep. pyogenes    
🗑
Strep Throat   No cough, no nasal discharge, helps distinguish it from the common cold where there IS both of these    
🗑
Glomerulonephritis   Involves damage to the kidneys    
🗑
Laryngitis & Epiglottitis   Was almost always caused by H. influenza but Hib vaccine took care of that and lowered it, now its caused by viruses, children between ages of 2 and 6 are more susceptible    
🗑
Bronchitis   Risk to infants, the young children, and the elderly, characterized by shortness of breath, wheezing   Diagnosis is from sputum clustered, acute bronchitis doesn't need antibiotics, infection would clear within a week  
🗑
Diphtheria   Bacteria must be infected with a particular phage in lysogenic state   Has a fuzzy gray.black membrane called a pseudomembrane covering throat and tonsils  
🗑
Middle ear infection   Acute Otitis Media (AOM), caused by Strep Pnemoniae, h. influenza, strep. progenies is sequel,   Children learning to talk at this time at risk of poor language development, when bacterial/viral germs cause colds or sore throats that spread to middle ear  
🗑
Common cold   MOST COMMON COMMUNICABLE DISEASE   Cough and nasal discharge, spread by fomites more often than aerosols  
🗑
Strider   Barking cough    
🗑
Croup   Acute airway obstruction    
🗑
Whooping Cough   the "whoop" is rare in infants under 6 months and adults    
🗑
Pneumonia   Common pneumonia-causing bacteria in adults in strep. pneumoniae, school-age kids mycoplasma pneumonia is causative agent   Respiratory viruses are the most common causes of pneumonia in young children peaking between 2-3yrs  
🗑
Lobar Pneumonia   Bright red/rusty sputum raised from the lungs, fibrin deposits, solidifying causing consolidation or blockage of airway passages    
🗑
Bronchial Pneumonia   Productive cough, shortness of breath = dyspnea    
🗑
Klebisella pneumonia   Extremely severe pneumonia, causes chronic ulcerative lesions in the lungs, obsesses and permanent damage   There is usually some predisposing condition overall characterized by a CHRONIC DEBILITATION  
🗑
Necrotizing Faciitis   Transmission often person to person and fomites    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
