Lymph nodeLymph node
Found in various location throughout the body
“Inspect” lymph for foreign material such as bacteria, viruses, etc.
Swollen and tender nodes may indicate infection

SepsisSepsis Systemic inflammatory response
syndrome(SIRS) caused by infection that releases mediators of inflammation into the blood
SIRS must exhibit two sets of conditions: Fever,rapid heart or respiration High WBC count
Often leads to lymphangitis, inflammation of the lymph vessels
Continued growth of bacteria leads to septic shock and death
Two major forms of sepsis Gram – sepsis Gram + sepsis

Gram Negative SepsisGram Negative Sepsis Outer LPS layer of Gram – bacteria is a
powerful toxin that is released when the bacteria lyses
Symptoms include fever, chills, and severe drop in blood pressure
Rapidly fatal condition with little effective treatment
About 750,000 cases in the US every year, 225,000 are fatal!

Gram positive sepsisGram positive sepsis Various species of Staphylococcus and
Enterococcus are the cause Release of exotoxin Often nosocomial in origin Results from invasive hospital procedure Antibiotic resistant strains of Enterococcus
have become a major problem Gram positive bacteria are the leading cause
of sepsis.

Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis
Infection of heart valves
Oral bacteria from dental procedures get into the blood
Lodge on damaged heart valves, causing further valve damage, impairs blood flow
Heart damage and death if not treated

via small cut and cause a cutaneous lesion

GangreneGangrene Loss of blood supply, death of
soft tissue Ischemia - loss of blood supply Necrosis - tissue death
Clostridium perfringens infection in the dead tissue
Bacterial toxin kills more tissue and gas is produced which causes swelling
Systemic infection when the bacteria and toxin enter the blood
Often fatal without treatment Antibiotic therapy, amputation
in severe cases Hyperbaric chamber

Characteristic rash associated with the disease (bulls-eye)
Flu-like initial symptoms
Antibiotic treatment works well for initial symptoms
Some cases linger and become systemic causing meningitis, encephalitis, and arthritis

RickettsiaRickettsia Rickettsia are bacteria;
small intracellular parasites
Discovered by Dr. Howard Ricketts as a pathogenic group
This group causes diseases such as typhus, and spotted fever
Dr. Ricketts died in Mexico in 1910 while investigating an outbreak of typhus

Epidemic typhusEpidemic typhus Caused by the bite of the
human body louse carrying the rickettsia
Rickettsia prowazeki Louse bites and defecates;
you scratch the bite and inoculate yourself
Crowded, unsanitary conditions
Prolonged fever, rash, can develop into fatal encephalitis or myocarditis
High mortality rate Treated with tetracycline
and chloramphenicol Also prevented by better
sanitation and control of lice

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
Rickettsial disease transmitted by tick bite
Characteristic rash Fever, headache, chills rash.
Systemic complications include renal failure, gastrointestinal complications
Mortality rate of about 20% if not treated

Disease found mostly in the southeastern US

MalariaMalaria
Complicated life cycle effecting RBC and causing anemia
Symptoms are fever, chills and severe headache alternating with no symptoms
Mosquitoes are the vectors, humans are the host
Treatment is mosquito control, sleeping under bed nets, and drugs such as chloroquine, mefloquine, and malarone
