This document discusses several species of Haemophilus bacteria. It describes three medically important species - H. influenzae, H. aegyptus, and H. ducreyi. H. influenzae can cause pneumonia, ear infections, and potentially fatal infections like meningitis in children. H. aegyptus causes infectious conjunctivitis epidemics. H. ducreyi is the cause of the sexually transmitted infection chancroid. The document provides details on the morphology, growth requirements, identification testing, and treatment of these Haemophilus species.
Haemophilus is the name of a group of bacteria. There are several types of Haemophilus. They can cause different types of illnesses involving breathing, bones and joints, and the nervous system. One common type, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), causes serious disease. It usually strikes children under 5 years old
The genus Shigella exclusively infects human intestine.
Shigella dysenteriae is the causative agent of bacillary dysentery or shigellosis in humans.
It is a diarrheal illness which is characterized by frequent passage of blood stained mucopurulent stools.
The four important species of the genus Shigella are:
Shigella dysenteriae
Shigella flexneri
Shigella sonnei
Shigella boydii.

Opportunistic Mycosis are: caused by fungi that cannot infect healthy humans but can
cause serious often fatal mycoses in people whose resistance has been lowered (immunocompromised patients).
Many fungi previously considered non- pathogenic are
now recognized as etiological agents of the
opportunistic fungal infections.
The laboratory must identify and report completely
the presence of all fungi recovered from
immunocompromised patient, since every organism is
a potential pathogen
The highly susceptible groups for opportunistic fungal
infection are
- AIDs patients,
-Leukemic patients,
-individuals on chemotherapy for treatment of cancer,
-alcoholics. The commonest causes of opportunistic mycosis are:
-Candidiasis
- Aspergillosis
- Zygomycosis
-Cryptococosis
-Pneumocystis carn
Candidiasis is a relatively common human infection that can
take form of;
superficial,
mucocutanous or
systemic disease.
Principally it is caused by the three species of the genus candida,
namely,
C.albicans,
C.tropicalis and
C.krusei
Superficial and mucocutaneous candidiasis
It is superficial infections of skin and mucous membranes
Through, oral and vaginal candidiasis
- Oesophageal candidiasis
-Skin lesions of folds, groin, axilla, and interdigital areas
- Napkin eruptions in infants
- Paranychial candidiaiasis
Invasive:
Candidemia: initial stage can be transient if phagocytic
system is intact.
Disseminated or hematogenous candidiasis if phagocytic
system is compromised.
Multi organs can be involved with infection: kidney,
prosthetic heart valves, brain, eye, meninges.
Mortality: 30-40%
Predisposing factors
Diabetes
Immunosupperession
T-cell immunodeficiency disorders
Acquired- immunodeficiency syndrome, (AIDS)
Leukaemias, Lymphomas
Steroid treatments
Broad spectrum antibiotics
Laboratory diagnosis
Superficial or mucocutaneous candidiasis is diagnosed by
finding the fungus in tissue scraping and culture
Systemic candidiasis is difficult to diagnose.
Definitive diagnosis is made by the histopathologic
demonstration of the invasion of tissue by the yeast.
Specimens from surface lesions, mouth, vaginal, sputum,
exudates etc are examined using different methods.
Direct examination
a) KOH
Exposed lesions can usually be easily diagnosed by
clinical appearance together with finding typical budding
yeast cells and pseudohyphae and /or true hyphea in lesion
scrapings treated with KOH.
b) Gram-stain
Gram stain smears show large gram-positive budding yeast cells
with pseudohyphea.
Germ tube test
Candida albicans can be presumptively identified based
on the production of a germ tube
Principle
When incubated with serum at 370C for 1 to 3 hours,
C.albicans will form a germ tube.
Procedure
1. Pipette 0.5 ml of serum into a test tube
2. Inoculate the tube with a small amount of the
organism to be
tested.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Haemophilus influenzae.
Haemophilus aegyptus.
Haemophilus ducryi.
less Medical important:-
1) Haemophilus parainfluenzae.
2) Haemophilus. hemolyticus.
4. Normal Habitat:-
Upper respiratory tract as normal flora.
The carrier rate in the upper respiratory tract
for H. influenzae type b is 2–4%. The
carrier rate for non-type b H. influenzae is
50–80% or higher.
The carrier rate for the encapsulated types
A and C to F is low (1–2%).
6. Morphology and Stain:
Haemophilus spp. is G -Ve rods, or
Cocco bacilli, Pleomorphic
( filamentous), Non motile, Non sporing,
and some strain are capsulated.
*Note; long thread and pleomorphic
forms may be seen in CSF (with Pus),
or following culture.
7. Culture Character
Haemophilus is fastidious, aerobic, and
can grow anaerobic , but better is
aerobic with moist in candle jar with
addition of 10% carbon dioxide, optimal
temperature for growth 35 – 37 C, and
some strain can grow at 30 C or less,
but the incubation period are prolonged.
8. Type of Culture Media:
It’s need media contain X and V factors as a
growth requirements factor. This factor can
found in blood agar or Heated blood agar.
X factor is Porphrin or Haemin ( because X-
dependent Strain are un able to convert
aminolaevulinic acid to protoporphyrin), it’s
used as enzyme respiration, cytochrome.
9. Cont.
V factor NAD ( Nicotinamide
Adenine Dinucleotide) or it’s
NADP, it’s used as electron carrier
or receptor in oxidation and
reduction.
10. Cont.
X- factor is heat stable, and V- factor is
heat labile ( 133 C for 30 min ).
V- factor is release by heating blood
agar medium at 75 ºC in not more than
30 minutes.

14. Satellitism
Its used as quick or presumptive method for identify
Haemophilus influenzae.
It’s perform by use Blood agar medium, the
suspected Haemophilus influenzae is culture by
swabbing in all surface of medium. Then
Staphylococcus aureus inoculated in straight streaking
line. Then incubate in moist Co2 over Night at 37 C.
17. Iridescence:
When Capsulated strain of Haemophilus
influenzae Cultured on Transparent Medium
such as Levinthal agar, and a beam of White
light directed viewed from the under site the
plate with acute angle, different shades ( Color),
can be seen from red, orange, green, and blue ,
due to optics of capsule layer of Haemophilus
influenzae.
18. Antigenic structure
According to Capsule structure
Haemophilus influenzae has 6 serotypes
( A to F) , the most important is type b
(Hib) .
19. Biotype of H.influnzea:
H. influnzeae can be divided into 8 Biotypes on

specially in kids age 6 months to 2
years.
II. 2- Septicemia and Bacteriaemia.
22. Cont.
I. 3. Epiglottis's ( acute inflammatory
swollen of the epiglottis, and
neighboring structure , this infection is
serious and fatal ,and it can cause air
way destruction, or septicemia ).
24. Pathogenicity
Others Haemophilus Sp. occasionally
can causes many infections, but less
severe , it can causes Meningitis,
Endocarditis, and brain abscess.
25. Laboratory diagnosis:
Specimen:
- CSF for microscope, Culture, and
Biochemistry.
- Blood , Sputum, Throat swab, and Pus &Urine.

agar in moist atmosphere in addition of Co2
aerobic at 37 C over night.
26. Colonial Morphology
Colonies are small ( o.5 - 1.5 ul ),
Colorless, Non hemolytic.
Note: Media Can become selective by
adding Bacitracin ( 300 mg/l ).
28. Biochemical reaction
Are not used routinely in
identification, but organism ferment
glucose, with acid and gas.
Other test used Urease, Indole test,
ODC (orinthine decarboxylase ).
29. The important is to do Serology by
Agglutination test form culture or direct
detection of antigen form CSF.
Form CSF we detect Antigen either by
Co- agglutination or CCIE (Counter
Current Immuno Electrophoresis ).
30. Quelling Test
From sample to detect antigen ( Primary
test), depend on Ag – Ab reaction
( Capsule swelling ).
31. Treatment
Drugs used for Haemophilus sp. are:
1. Chloramphenicol (resistance in up to
50% in some regions).
2. Ampicillin.
3. Tetracycline.
4. Co trimaxazole.
* The strain should be test for Beta-
lactamase production.
(35% of strains positive).
32. Cont.
Best drugs active against almost
100% of strains:
Azithromycin (Macrolide)
Fluoroquinolones
Newer Cephalosporin
33. Prevention of meningitis
With antibiotic resistance increasing
it is important to prevent infections
before they start
1980s capsule vaccine was not
effective
Kids < 2 years old don’t make
antibodies to sugars
35. General Properties
Not occurring as a common
commensally in the nasopharyngeal
of health subject.
Grow more slowly than H.influnzea.
Failure to ferment D- xylose, and
showing stronger Haemagglutination
activity with human or guinea Pig red
blood cells
36. Pathogenicity:
Haemophilus aegyptius This
organism was formerly called the
Koch-Weeks bacillus; can causes
acute and infectious Conjunctivitis (
Pink eye) and this infection is
epidemic.
37. Cont.
1990s scientist conjugated capsule
sugar to a protein.
Children under 2 year can
produce antibody to proteins.
Also make antibody to the sugar
attached to a protein.
41. Haemophilus ducreyi
The small gram-negative rods occur in
strands in the lesions, usually in
association with other Pyogenic
microorganisms. H ducreyi requires X
factor but not V factor.
42. Cont.
