• Fungi – self-replicating eukaryotes, includes the class of yeasts and molds
• Candida albicans• Aspergillus• Coccidiomycoses• Cryptococcus neoformans• Histoplasmosis
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• Nosocomial – from the Greek word
“nosocomia” which means “Nurse”.• This term was coined by
Hippocrates – the Father of Medicine, who determined that nurses were responsible for nosocomial infections.
• Nosocomial infections are infections that are acquired by a patient who is undergoing medical treatment, and who did not present with that particular organism originally but acquired it while receiving care.
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• Drug Resistant Organisms – these
organisms are becoming more prevalent with the over-use of antibiotics. They have cellular memory and enzymes which make certain antibiotics ineffective, i.e. penicillinase.
• Examples:• Streptococci• Methicillin Resistant Staph. Aureus
(MRSA)• Vancomycin Resistant Enteroccocci
(VRE)• E. coli• Pseudomonas
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
MRSA – resistant to all drugs except Vancomycin & Linezolid
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• Laboratory testing for Viruses:• Enzyme immunoassay = EIA

• IgM and IgG antibody levels
• Viral loads
• Viral RNA or DNA count
• Viral cultures – on urine, blood, sputum, secretions, stool, tissue, or semen
• Viral serology
• PAP – High risk HPV profile

Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• Laboratory testing for Bacterium• Cultures & Sensitivity – blood
cultures have to be taken from three different sites. Otherwise secretions, pus, sputum, urine, or skin may be used.
• Acid Fast Bacilli culture and smear• Gram stain• CBC with diff• Macroscopic and microscopic
evaluation Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious DiseaseUnknown bacterium
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• Laboratory testing for
Bacterium• Cultures and sensitivities• MIC = minimal inhibitory concentration • MIC is the minimal level of a certain drug or antibiotic that it
takes to kill a specific species of bacteria. The lower the MIC number, the faster the bacteria are killed by that drug.
• Treatment – specific antibiotics
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• Lab testing for Bacterium• Cultures and Sensitivities
Example• MR FEBRE was treated for a sore throat for
two weeks with Z-packs and did not get better. The culture and sensitivity of an oropharyngeal swab done December 30, 2010, results read on January 2, 2011 = Beta streptococcus at 3,000 colonies/mm3.

• Over 42 million people are living with HIV/AIDS, and 74 percent of these infected people live in sub-Saharan Africa.
• Over 19 million women are living with HIV/AIDS.
• By the year 2010, five countries (Ethiopia, Nigeria, China, India, and Russia) with 40 percent of the world's population added 50 to 75 million infected people to the worldwide pool of HIV disease.

Infectious Disease• HIV Pathophysiology
• HIV is transmitted as a viral particle in semen, blood, and other bodily fluids in small amounts. This particle must find a way into the host’s bloodstream.
• The HIV virus has a specific target in the blood, and it attacks the CD4 - T- Cells. The T-cells are the primary defense against all pathogens. Like a general in the army, the T-cell either calls in the bodies defenses i.e. B-Cells and macrophages, or acts as the Killer cells themselves.
• The virus uses an enzyme called Protease to attack the Cell
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease - HIV• HIV Pathophysiology (continued)
• The infected T-cell takes the protease and breaks into the cell’s RNA, changing the function of the cell so that it only produces more HIV virus.
• Then it releases the virus back into the bloodstream.
• In the end, the viral load goes up and the functional T-Cells and CD-4 count goes down.

Infectious Disease – HIVA picture of the retrovirus
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
HIVHistory
– 1950s: Blood samples from Africa have HIV antibodies.
– 1976: First known AIDS patient died.
– 1980: First human retrovirus isolated (HTLV-1).
– 1981: First reports of “Acquired Immuno-deficiency Syndrome” in Los Angeles.
– 1983: Virus first isolated in France (LAV).
– 1984: Virus isolated in the U.S. (called HTLV-III and AIDS-Related Virus, ARV).
– 1985: Development and implementation of antibody test to screen blood donors.
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
HIV
History (Continued)– 1986: Consensus name Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1). Related virus (HIV-2) identified.
– 1992: AIDS becomes the leading cause of death among adults ages 25-44 in the U.S.
– 1997: Mortality rates of AIDS starts to decline due to the introduction of new drug cocktails.
– 2001: World Health Organization predicts up to 40 million infected individuals. More than 22 million have already died.
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• HIV– course of infection • Risks for HIV:
• Unprotected sex – with heterosexual or homosexual encounters
• IV drug usage –
• Needle sticks with unprotected needles
• Exposure to blood – health care workers and Laboratory workers
• Transfusion with non-screened blood products
• Use of contaminated needles or surgical equipment
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• HIV– course of infection
• Risks for HIV: (continued)
• Mother to Infant (Perinatal): 25% of children become infected in utero, during delivery, or by breast-feeding (with AZT only 3%).
• AZT should be started in the first trimester to prevent sero-conversion in the infant.
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• HIV – Course of Infection
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease - HIV• HIV – Course of Infection
• Infection - the virus enters the body – initial symptoms are a cold, flu like syndrome, body aches, etc…which pass within a few days. The ELISA test is negative at this time.
• Incubation – 3 months to one year, where the virus enters other cells, but no symptoms are present. This is when sero-conversion occurs.
• Reproduction – For a period of 2 to 6 years, the virus replicates and replaces functional T-cells, reducing the immunity of the patient. The time for symptoms to occur can go from months to years. The patient is still infectious through these 3 phases.
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease• HIV versus AIDS – Autoimmune
Deficiency Syndrome
• All clients who have HIV are HIV positive, but not all HIV clients have AIDS.
• Definition of AIDS
– Client must have a CD4 count of less than 200cells/mm3– Client will have an opportunistic infection (an infection that normally
would not grow in a healthy immune patient– OR the client will have persistent lymphadenopathy with a low CD4
count
Block 7.0 Module 3.1
Infectious Disease - HIV• AIDS – Complications
• Most of the complications from AIDS is due to the opportunistic infections that the patient gets.
• Examples: • Tuberculosis• Respiratory Candidiasis• Respiratory Pneumocyctis Carinii (PCP)• Out of control cervical cancer• Widespread Karposi’s sarcoma• Cytomegalovirus retinitis (blindness)• Encephalopathy• Lymphoma• Toxoplasmosis
