AreaDiseaseClue
BacteriaSusceptible to Linezolid but not vancomycin
FungusMore common where earth is being moved. In lungs.
Skin DiseaseTetracycline often applied topically to cure
FungusCaused by trichophyton (mould) often
Risk Factor - BacteriaCo-morbidity with ATS
InflammationNeutrophil driven, often causes cyanosis, hypoxia and right heart failure. Mucous is a problem!
Parasite (Helminth)S. mansoni, S. haematobium, S. japonicus. Use water snail as intermediate host (can also have secondary host)
Parasite (Helminth)Live in subcutaneous tissue and lymphatic tissue. Adults discharge tiny babies which can be ingested by insects. Can cause Elephantiasis and River Blindness.
VirusCauses SARS
Infection/InflammationCefotaxime/Ceftriaxone often prescribed. Caused by N. meningitidis, H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae, L. monocytogenes, possible C. albicans...
Side EffectAminoglycoside SE
FungusCaused by Yeast
Mendelian disorderABCA1 doesn't work so ApoA1 can't pick up cholesterol
Parasite (Protozoa)Short stage in blood then muscle (esp. heart).
VirusHemaglutinnin, Neuraminidase, ...
ArthopodsItching in Pubic Area
BacteriaSusceptible to few drugs, often causes septicaemia. Susceptible to Ceftazidime, Cefoperazone, Cefepime, Cefpirome, Imipenem, Polymixins, Ciprofloxacin
ArthopodsScalp itching
Parasite (Protozoa)They multiply in Liver then RBCs. Can cause severe anaemia, haemolysis, pulmonary oedema, metabolic acidosis and hypoglycaemia. Most serious in P. falciparum
InflammationChronic Inflammation, Synovium (Hyaluronan, PGE2), MMPs (TIMP & Serpin inactivation), TNFa, IL-1b, Pannus formation
Side EffectDeath after Chloramphenicol
AreaDiseaseClue
InflammationTh2 (IL-4,5 & 13) and Eosinophil driven. Hyperresponsiveness
InfectionIsoniazid/Ethambutol/Pyrazinamide/Rifampicin prescribed
ArthopodsMite burrows into epidermis. Papular eruption.
Side EffectTetracyclin forms ROS causing damage
Side EffectCan be caused by Clindamycin. Killing all susceptible bacteria in gut using a broad spectrum antibiotic can cause...
Immune DeficiencyNeutrophilia, no pus, defective fucose metabolism (affects selectins), decreased rolling
InflammationHomocysteine implicated
Parasite (Helminth)If humans are primary host, no morbidity. Worm just stays in gut. Intermediate host causes morbidity as organism in tissues
FungusCan be oral or vaginal. Often treated with oral miconazole.
Immune DeficiencyRecurrent bacterial infections, no pus, Leukocytes don't adhere to endothelium
VirusT cells increase but there are less T cells
BacteriaOften cause gut infection after oral broad spectrum antibiotic
Parasite (Helminth)Egg dropped in faeces and mature in soil. they are ingested and hatch in intestine. they penetrate the gut wall and migrate to liver then heart then lung. they grow and are then coughed up and swallowed.10-30cm adult can escape from any orifice though larval migration causes most morbidity.
Virus/InflammationRibavirin used, can be caused by alcohol
Parasite (Protozoa)Multiplies in blood and CSF disturbing circadian rythms. avoids immune system by using cyclical antigen coats.
BacteriaOften susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid but resistant to Methicillin
Risk FactorIncreases risk of ATS
VirusMost common cold causer
Systemic InflammationRF present but not Rheumatoid Arthritis. Often features in 'House'
Mendelian DisorderLDLR doesn't recognise ApoA or ApoE
Side EffectPenicillin can cause this in about 5% of people
