Study Notes
Infectious Diseases
- Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens, which include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
- Pathogens enter the body through various routes, including the skin, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and urogenital tract.
- Skin's primary defense includes an epidermal barrier, mechanical defects such as punctures or burns can compromise this barrier.
- The gastrointestinal tract has epithelial barriers, acidic secretions, peristalsis, bile and pancreatic enzymes, and normal microbiota, which work together to protect against pathogens.
- The respiratory tract uses mucociliary clearance and resident alveolar macrophages to fight off infections.
- The urogenital tract employs mechanisms like urination and normal vaginal microbiota to prevent infections.
- Pathogens can spread through nerves, lymphatics, and the bloodstream.
- They can also avoid the body's immune responses via adaptations such as antigenic variability and inhibiting phagocytosis.
- Inflammatory responses vary in severity. Suppurative inflammation involves neutrophils, granulomatous inflammation involves macrophages and lymphocytes. Some infections lead to necrosis or tissue damage.
- Viruses can harm cells by altering metabolic processes, leading to cell lysis or transformation.
- Numerous viruses are responsible for various diseases affecting different organ systems (respiratory, digestive, systemic, skin, etc.).
- Some bacteria cause disease through exotoxins, whereas others cause disease through inflammation and the destruction of host tissue.
- Certain microbes evade innate and adaptive immunity.
- Fungi and parasites also cause diseases.
- Different forms of inflammation are observed in diseases.
- Specific examples of diseases caused by various pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites), including morphology, epidemiology, and clinical findings, are described extensively for each type of infection.
- Numerous examples of pathogens causing infections with detailed morphologic and clinical features are mentioned. This includes a variety of infections of the skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and nervous system.
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium intracellulare are discussed in detail, including clinical forms, pathology, and complications.
- The different stages of syphilis, including primary, secondary, and tertiary, are covered , along with its congenital form.
- Various pathogens and infections have different clinical presentations causing different morphologies.
- Diagnostic techniques also vary depending on the pathogen. Detailed discussion of serological diagnosis for syphilis is given.
- Different types of infections are accompanied by different morphologies that enable diagnosis and treatment.
- Several examples of opportunistic parasitic infections and fungal infections are highlighted.
- Information on different types of parasitic infections is provided, including transmission routes, pathogenesis, and organ system involvement.
- The study notes describe the characteristics of different classes of infections, such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative.
- Methods of diagnosing infections are covered.
