Exam/200 Questions and Answers
(18) Symptoms of endocarditis - -Fever and chills, weight loss, muscle ache
- (18) Septicemia - -The toxic condition caused by the multiplication of
bacteria in the blood.
- (18) Microbemia - -In infection caused by a microorganism entering the
circulatory system through lymphatic drainage.
- (18) Strep throat - -Causes a rare, inflammatory disease called rheumatic
fever
- (18) Examples of zoonotic diseases - -Brucellosis, undulant fever,
tularemia, rabbit fever
- (18) Rabbit fever caused by which bacteria? - -Francisella tularensis
- (18) Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by bacterium: - -Rickettsia
rickettsia
- (18) Cytomegalovirus infections are caused by which human herpes virus?
- -Five
- (18) Malaria is caused by a: - -Protozoan
- (18) How is toxoplasmosis categorized? - -Protozoan
- (18) Gangrene - -A complication of necrosis related to wounds
- (18) Zoonotic - -Any infectious disease or infection that can be transmitted
from vertebrate animals to humans
- (18) Bacteremia - -When bacteria are found in the blood
- (18) Sepsis - -Toxic condition caused by the spread of bacteria or bacterial
toxins from the site of infection
- (18) Trypanosoma Cruzi - -Cause of Chagas' disease
- (18) Dry gangrene - -often occurs in persons with impaired peripheral
blood flow
, - (18) Internal gangrene (white gangrene) - -generally contracted after
surgery or trauma
- (18) Wet gangrene - -occurs in organs lined by mucous membranes such
as the mouth, lower intestinal tract, lungs, and cervix
- (18) Gas gangrene - -caused by bacteria that produce gas within the
infected tissue. Toxins produced will cause necrosis; if untreated the
condition is fatal.
- (18) Principles of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) - -group of febrile
illnesses ranging in severity from relatively mild to life-threatening. Caused
by four distinct viral families: Arenaviridae, Filoviridae, Bunyaviridae, and
Flaviviridae. All VHFs characterized by fever, overall vascular system
damage, and bleeding disorders that can lead to high fever, shock, and
death. Although distributed over much of the world, many VHFs are present
in geographically limited areas and risk of infection is restricted to those
areas.
- (18) Systemic Mycosis - -fungal infections capable of affecting all internal
organs. Persons with a competent immune system may be asymptomatic or
show only minor symptoms. Immune-compromised patients (including
persons with HIV, cancer, or neutropenia, organ transplant recipients,
patients recovering from pancreatitis or splenectomy, those with diabetes,
the very old, and the very young) are at high risk for infection. Treatment
may include adjusting immune-suppressing medications or administering
antifungal medications.
- (18) Visceral leishmaniasis - -serious form; fatal if untreated.
- (18) Cutaneous leishmaniasis - -common form; sore forms at fly-bite site;
long healing period (few months to a year).
- (18) Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis - -widespread skin lesions; difficult to
treat.
- (18) Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis - -skin ulcers that spread and can cause
tissue damage to the nose and mouth.
- (16) Who first observed microbes on the teeth? - -Van Leeuwenhoek
- (16) What causes peptic ulcers? - -Helicobacter pylori
- (16) What is another word for Bacillary dysentery? - -Shingellosis,
transmitted by fecal-oral route
