Study Notes
Rickettsial Infections
- Rickettsialpox is caused by a species transmitted through mites.
- Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by Rickettsia rickettsii.
- Boutonneuse fever is another notable rickettsial disease.
- Australian/Queensland tick typhus is transmitted by ticks.
- Mediterranean and Israeli spotted fever are associated with specific geographical regions.
- Indian tick typhus and Kenya tick typhus are also part of rickettsial infections.
Typhus Infections
- Rickettsia prowazekii is noteworthy for its transmission through lice, causing epidemic typhus.
- Brill-Zinsser disease results from reactivation of R. prowazekii.
- Rickettsia typhi, transmitted by fleas, causes murine typhus.
- Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, transmitted by mites.
- R. tsutsugamushi has a complex life cycle involving small mammals.
Other Tick-Borne Infections
- Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of Q fever, typically transmitted through contaminated aerosols from animal products.
- Human monocyte ehrlichiosis is characterized by infection of monocytes.
- Human granulocyte ehrlichiosis targets neutrophils.
Vector and Host Relationships
- Trench fever is caused by Bartonella quintana, transmitted via human body louse.
- Carrion's disease and Oroya fever are caused by Bartonella bacilliformis, prevalent in Peru and Ecuador.
- CSD (Cat Scratch Disease) is associated with Bartonella henselae.
Mycoplasma and Atypical Bacteria
- Mycoplasma hominis is associated with salpingitis and post-partum fever in females.
- Fried egg colonies are characteristic of mycoplasma cultures.
- Eaton's agent refers to Mycoplasma pneumoniae, known for causing primary atypical pneumonia.
Chlamydia Infections
- C. trachomatis has two notable subtypes: A-C causes endemic trachoma, and L1-L3 causes lymphogranuloma venereum.
- The TWAR strain is associated with respiratory infections.
Bacterial Structure and Transmission
- Chlamydia are obligate intracellular parasites that present as elementary bodies.
- Spirochetes are tightly coiled, resembling stretched spirals, and include agents of relapsing fever.
- Louse-borne relapsing fever is linked to Borrelia recurrentis.
Lyme Disease and Its Features
- Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted by Ixodes ticks.
- Erythema migrans is a hallmark sign of Lyme disease, presenting as a bull's-eye rash.
- The gold standard serological test for Lyme disease is a two-tiered test process.
Treponema Infections
- Treponema pallidum is the causative agent of syphilis, historically known by various names.
- Primary syphilis causes a chancre, while secondary syphilis manifests with a rash and systemic symptoms.
- Hutchinsonian triad associated with T. pallidum includes dental abnormalities, ocular issues, and deafness.
- Laboratory diagnosis of syphilis often involves serological testing, with benzathine penicillin as the treatment of choice.
Other Related Infections
- Yaws and bejel are nonvenereal treponematoses affecting skin and bones, with unique regional distributions.
- Pinta causes ulcerative skin disease.
- Leptospira, the causative agent of leptospirosis, is found in water and soil, and is shed in animal urine.
- Weil's disease represents a severe form of leptospirosis, involving multiple organ systems.
