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