Tb in the immunosuppressed
This document discusses tuberculosis (TB) in immunosuppressed individuals, particularly those with HIV. It notes that TB is a common opportunistic infection in HIV patients, as HIV impairs cell-mediated immunity and increases the risk of developing active TB from latent TB infection. In HIV patients, active TB often presents atypically with extra-pulmonary involvement, nonspecific chest x-ray findings, or even a normal chest x-ray. The degree of immunosuppression also affects clinical presentation and radiographic patterns of TB. Advanced immunosuppression is associated with less typical radiographic presentations and increased risk of extra-pulmonary and disseminated disease. A CD4 count can provide guidance on the likelihood of TB versus other
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs. The bacteria can spread through the air when a person with active TB coughs, sneezes or talks. Common symptoms include prolonged cough, bloody sputum, chest pain and weight loss. While most people exposed to TB do not develop active disease, those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk. TB can be cured with a standard treatment of antibiotics over several months.
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs. It is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria and spreads through the air. While most people exposed to TB do not develop active symptoms, those with weakened immune systems are at higher risk. Left untreated, active TB can be fatal. Diagnosis involves tests on body fluids and tissues. Treatment requires taking multiple antibiotics for a long period of time. While once common, TB was reduced by antibiotics but has resurfaced in drug-resistant forms, creating a public health crisis in some areas.
Naturales
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi and protists. Some harmful bacteria cause diseases such as tetanus, salmonellosis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia and tonsillitis. Viruses also cause diseases in humans, including measles, chickenpox, the flu, mumps, common colds, papilloma and AIDS. Infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms that can spread from person to person.
Tuberculosis
The document summarizes types of tuberculosis, including latent TB, active TB, miliary TB, pulmonary TB, and extrapulmonary TB. It also discusses diagnostic techniques like skin tests and chest x-rays. Multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB), extensively drug resistant TB (XDR-TB), and totally drug resistant TB (TDR-TB) are described. Global statistics on TB prevalence, mortality, and progress toward treatment targets are provided. The life cycle of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria within the human body is outlined in 5 stages.
Measles, aids, hepatitus
The document discusses three viral diseases: measles, AIDS, and hepatitis. It describes the symptoms of measles, which include cough, fever and gray boils on the face and chest that disappear within 10 days, after which the patient becomes immune. It explains that AIDS is a fatal disease caused by the HIV virus, which destroys white blood cells and the immune system. Hepatitis is a disease of the liver caused by one of three viruses that invade and destroy liver cells, causing jaundice, abdominal pain, and other symptoms, and can be fatal if not controlled by the immune system.

Haemophilus.pptx presntn
Haemophilus is a genus of bacteria that includes species normally found in the human respiratory tract as well as pathogenic species. H. influenzae is the most clinically important species and is a cause of pneumonia, septic arthritis, epiglottitis, and meningitis. H. influenzae is a small, non-motile, gram-negative coccobacillus that requires both Factor X and V for growth. Serotype b of H. influenzae causes the majority of invasive disease and was an important cause of childhood meningitis prior to the introduction of the Hib vaccine.
Disease and its types in microbiology
This document discusses different types of diseases in microbiology. There are four main types: infectious diseases which are caused by microbes like viruses and bacteria; communicable diseases which spread between people; non-communicable diseases which are chronic like cancer and heart disease; and contagious diseases which spread through direct or indirect contact. Infectious diseases can be infectious, acute, chronic, or subclinical. Diseases spread through stages including a reservoir, exit portal, entry portal, and transmission between hosts.
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is an infectious airborne disease that typically affects the lungs and is spread through coughs, sneezes, or talking, infecting one third of the world's population each year. It develops when TB bacteria are inhaled into the lungs and can spread throughout the body, causing symptoms like coughing, weight loss, and fever. While TB was once incurable, treatments now exist but antibiotic resistance has made treatment more complex, especially for those with HIV/AIDS.
Tuberculosis
The causative agent of tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Belonging to the Family Mycobacteriaceae.
The other strains that cause tuberculosis are
M. bovis
M. africanum
M. carnetti
M. microti etc
The morphological features of the bacteria are that it is a small, straight, slender rod shaped, non-motile, non-capsulated, non-spore forming, aerobic organism.
The presence of mycolic acids in the cell wall is a characteristic feature due to which the bacteria gets resistance towards various antibiotics and disinfectants, and escapes from the phagocytic mechanism of the host.
Infection in hospitals
The document discusses infections in hospitals. It defines an infection and describes how they can spread in healthcare settings through contact with bodily fluids, feces, contaminated food or water, or surfaces. Common sources of infection in hospitals are from other patients, visitors, or hospital staff. Bacterial, viral, fungal and prion infections are described along with their symptoms. The importance of infection control practices in healthcare settings like cleaning, disinfection and sterilization are discussed to prevent the spread of infections.
Stages of HIV infection
There are four stages of HIV infection: 1) Primary infection lasts a few weeks and causes flu-like symptoms; 2) Asymptomatic stage lasts around 10 years without symptoms but HIV is still active; 3) Symptomatic infection where the immune system is damaged over time causing worsening symptoms and opportunistic infections; 4) Progression to AIDS where the T cell count drops below 200 and opportunistic infections worsen.
Communicable Diseases

Haemophilus is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria that requires blood factors for growth. The major pathogenic species is Haemophilus influenzae, which can cause pneumonia, meningitis, ear infections, and conjunctivitis, especially in young children. H. ducreyi causes the sexually transmitted disease chancroid. Species are diagnosed using culture, microscopy, and molecular tests and treated with antibiotics like ampicillin or cefotaxime. Prevention includes vaccination against H. influenzae type B.
Microbiology examples of pathogens in bsl 4
This document discusses pathogens at BSL-4 level including Ebola virus, smallpox, and hantaviruses. It then describes different modes of disease transmission such as droplet, fecal-oral, sexual, and vector-borne. Droplet transmission occurs when pathogens in cough or sneeze droplets enter another person's body openings. Fecal-oral transmission involves contaminated food or water. Sexual transmission is through sexual contact and fluids. Vector-borne diseases are transmitted by organisms that carry pathogens between hosts. Understanding transmission modes is important for epidemiology.
Communicable Disease
A communicable disease is an infectious disease that is transmitted from one person or animal to another directly or indirectly. Communicable diseases can be transmitted through various modes such as direct contact, droplet infection, contaminated vehicles like food or water, vectors like mosquitoes, and from mother to fetus. Common examples of communicable diseases include respiratory infections like tuberculosis, measles, and influenza; gastrointestinal infections spread through fecal-oral transmission like cholera and typhoid; and vector-borne diseases transmitted by mosquitoes and arthropods.
Haemophilus influenzae
Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative coccobacillus first isolated in 1892 during an influenza outbreak. It is classified within the phylum Proteobacteria and can cause several diseases in humans like meningitis, pneumonia, epiglottitis and cellulitis. H. influenzae possesses several virulence factors like a capsule, lipopolysaccharides and IgA1 protease that help it evade the immune system and cause disease. Diagnosis involves culture and identification of the bacteria from clinical specimens as well as antigen and molecular detection techniques. Vaccination against H. influenzae type b is available to prevent disease.

It notes there are two main types - healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) associated with healthcare settings, and community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) spread through close personal contact. Symptoms vary depending on the infection type and can include rashes, fever and cough. Risk factors include recent hospitalization, weakened immunity, living in crowded places, or participating in contact sports. Diagnosis involves culturing wound, sputum, urine or blood samples. Treatment differs between HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA but generally involves antibiotics, with more severe HA
Clostridium Difficile
C. difficile is a bacterium that causes symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. It is most commonly found in healthcare settings and spreads through spores that can persist on surfaces for weeks. Antibiotic use allows C. difficile to overgrow in the gut by wiping out competing bacteria. Diagnosis involves stool testing and colon exams. Treatment focuses on stopping antibiotics, using targeted antibiotics to kill C. difficile, and restoring healthy gut bacteria with probiotics or yeast supplements to prevent recurrence. Strict handwashing, patient isolation, and surface disinfection are important to control the spread of C. difficile.

Nosocomial infection
This lecture aims to present the most common types of hospital acquired infection and their causes.
Nosocomial infections
Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, develop in patients during a hospital visit due to compromised immune systems and medical procedures that bypass the body's natural barriers. They are commonly spread through contact between patients and medical staff who move between patients without properly sanitizing. The most effective prevention methods include implementing quality control measures, isolating infected patients, practicing proper hand hygiene, wearing gloves, thoroughly sanitizing surfaces, and using antimicrobial surfaces. While antibiotics can treat some gram-positive bacterial infections, multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria like Acinetobacter pose challenges due to limited treatment options.
Hospital infection control ..............Qasim jan dawar
This document summarizes sources and routes of transmission of hospital-acquired infections. Common causes include Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Infections may be acquired endogenously from one's own body flora or exogenously from other patients, staff, or the hospital environment. Contact transmission, especially via inadequately washed hands of staff, plays an important role in cross-infections within hospitals.

Hospital hygiene and infection control
This document discusses the management of healthcare waste as an important part of hospital hygiene and infection control. Improperly managed waste can transmit pathogens, contributing to the risk of hospital-acquired infections among patients and staff. The practices in Chapters 6-10 of handling healthcare waste properly should be followed strictly as part of a comprehensive approach to infection prevention. Nosocomial infections develop in patients during their hospital stay and can originate from endogenous sources within the patient, cross-contamination from other patients or the environment, or from healthcare workers who are infected or asymptomatic carriers. Pathogens can be transmitted directly or indirectly between sources and new hosts through various routes including contact, airborne means, or vectors.
Nosocomial fungal infections
Nosocomial fungal infections are infections acquired in a healthcare setting. Candida species are a common cause of nosocomial fungal infections, with C. albicans being the most frequent cause. However, non-albicans Candida species are emerging as more drug-resistant species due to selective pressure from antifungal treatments. Catheter-associated urinary tract infections are a frequent type of nosocomial Candida infection, which can be difficult to diagnose due to the challenges differentiating colonization from true infection based on urine culture results alone.
Bioterrorism
This document discusses bioterrorism and various biological agents that could potentially be used as bioweapons. It defines bioterrorism and describes biological weapons as microbes or their toxins. Various microorganisms are discussed in detail, including anthrax, plague, smallpox, viral hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola, and biological toxins such as botulinum toxin. For each agent, the document covers characteristics, potential use as a bioweapon, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and other relevant details.

Opportunistic pathogens
This document discusses opportunistic pathogens and infections. It begins by defining an opportunistic pathogen as a microorganism that normally does not cause disease but can do so when the host's immune system is compromised. Examples of opportunistic bacteria that can cause infections in HIV/AIDS patients are provided, including Campylobacter, Flavobacterium, Pseudomonas, and Salmonella. The document also discusses two specific opportunistic pathogens in more detail: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli (E. coli). It provides information on their characteristics, infections they can cause, and prevention strategies.
Nosocomial infection
A nosocomial infection is contracted because of an infection or toxin that exists in a certain location, such as a hospital. People now use nosocomial infections interchangeably with the terms health-care associated infections (HAIs) and hospital-acquired infections. For a HAI, the infection must not be present before someone has been under medical care.
The most common types of HAIs are:
-urinary tract infections (UTIs)
surgical site infections
-gastroenteritis
-meningitis
-pneumonia
Disease
The document discusses diseases including their causes, modes of transmission, symptoms, prevention and treatment. It covers diseases caused by bacteria like tuberculosis, cholera, tetanus; diseases caused by protozoa like malaria, amoebic dysentery; diseases caused by parasitic worms like ascariasis and tapeworms. It also discusses viral diseases such as polio, mumps, rabies, HIV/AIDS. It provides details on the causative agents, incubation periods, symptoms and prevention/cure for many of these important communicable and non-communicable diseases.
