Cystiososporiasis
Cholera
• Gram-negative bacillus, Vibrio cholerae, Two biotypes- classical, El Tor
• Epidemiology - India, Bangladesh
• CF - typical ‘rice water' material is passed, consisting of clear uid with ecks of mucus
without abdominal pain, enormous loss of uid and electrolytes, leading to intense
dehydration with muscular cramps, acute circulatory shock, Cholera Sicca
• Diagnosis - Stool dark- eld microscopy shows the typical ‘shooting star' motility of V.
cholerae

• Treatment - rehydration, Three days' treatment with tetracycline 250 mg 4 times daily, a
single dose of doxycycline 300 mg or cipro oxacin 1 g in adults reduces the duration
of excretion of V. cholerae and the total volume of uid needed for replacement
DYSENTERY

Typhoid fever
2 3Wh
• Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhi and Paratyphi A, B and C(Gram negative bacillus)
• Epidemiology - South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America
• Pathogenesis - lymphoid tissue of the small intestine, resulting in typical lesions in the
Peyer's patches and follicles, spleen, chronic carrier stage in gallbladder

• Parathyroid - short IP, rose spot more prominent, GI complications less frequent
• A drop in temperature to normal or subnormal levels may be falsely reassuring in
patients with intestinal haemorrhage
• Investigation- Blood culture in rst week, Stool culture in second and third weeks,
leucopenia, Widal test - not use in nowadays
• Treatment - Cipro oxacin or Azithromycin for 2 weeks, 4 weeks for chronic carrier,
Pyrexia may persist for up to 5 days after the start of speci c therapy
• Prevention - live vaccine
[Link] infection
• Strain - ETEC, EAEC, EIEC, EPEC, EHEC
• Gram negative bacillus
• ETEC
Traveller’s diarrhea, self limiting, no role of antibiotics
• EIEC
CF similar to Shigella but ဝမ် း များ ေသွးနည်း
• EHEC

• No role of antibiotic in [Link]

Clostridioides di cile infection


• [Link] cile (Gram positive bacillus) ciprofloxacin
• Associated with antibiotics like penicillin, cephalosporin, clindamycin, cefuroxime
• CF - due to Toxin ( A and B), 80% cases are >65 yr age, 1- 6 weeks after antibiotics,
watery diarrhea to colitis associated with tenesmus, can lead to toxic mega colon,
septic shock
• Diagnosis - Toxin A and B, Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), Sigmoidoscopy- pseudo
membrane ( erythema, white plaques)
• Treatment -
Bacillary dysentery (shigellosis)
• Gram-negative rods, closely related to E. coli, that invade the colonic mucosa. There
are four main groups: Sh. dysenteriae, exneri, boydii and sonnei.
• In tropical regions bacillary dysentery is usually caused by Sh. exneri
• Epidemiology - Egypt
• person-to-person transmission is the most important factor
• Outbreaks - psychiatric hospitals, residential schools and other closed institutions
• CF - colicky abdominal pain, ေသွးများ ဝမ် းနည်း
• Treatment- Cipro oxacin or Azithromycin
Respiratory Infection

Diphtheria
• Corynebacterium diphtheriae(Gram positive bacillus)
• CF - IP-within 7days

moppNOMA

Motor neuropathy

• Treatment - Anti-toxin plus penicillin, anaphylaxis, serum sickness is antibody mediated


adverse reaction
Anthrax
• [Link](Gram positive bacillus)
• Zoonosis disease

Cutaneous anthrax - painless oedematous haemorrhagic base(Escher)

GI anthrax - dysentery with tenesmus, toxaemia and death rapidly developed

Inhalational anthrax - bio weapon, high mortality 50-90%

Treatment - Cipro oxacin, penicillin


Prophylaxis - Cipro oxacin (500 mg twice daily for 2 months) is recommended for anyone
at high risk of inhalational exposure to anthrax spores and is combined with three doses
of anthrax vaccine adsorbed (AVA)
Systemic bacterial infection

Leptospirosis
• Gram negative spirochete
• IP - 1-2 weeks
• Epidemiology - Spain
• Pathogenesis - Prolonged immersion in contaminated water facilitates invasion, as the
spirochaete survives in water for months. Organisms persist in rat urine, penetrate
intact skin or mucous membranes, facilitated by cut and abrasion
• CF Phases
Bacteraemic phase - high fever, muscle pain and tenderness (especially of the calf
and back), headache, photophobia, Conjunctival congestion
Aseptic meningitis - caused by L. canicola
Weil’s disease - by L. icterohaemorrhagiae, 10% of case, fever, haemorrhage,
thrombocytopenia in 50% of cases, ATN and AKI, hepatitis but hepatic failure is
rare, uveitis and iritis appear months after recovery
Pulmonary syndrome - hight mortality due to ARDS
• Investigation
Baseline - neutrophil leucocytosis, thrombocytopenia, modest elevation of LFT,
Raised CK
Meningitis - bacterial meningitis ndings except normal glucose
Con rmation - blood culture in rst week, urine culture in second week, MAT
(serology)
• treatment - penicillin or doxycycline, antibiotic therapy do not prevent renal failure,
dialysis for renal failure
Brucellosis
• B. melitensis(Gram negative bacillus)
• Zoonosis- goats, sheep, Cattle, camels
• Epidemiology - Middle East, Africa, South America
• IP 1-3 weeks
• Transmission - diary products, uncooked meat
• CF - Reticuloendothelial system infected intracellular bacteria

Investigation - blood culture, bone marrow culture


Treatment -
Borrelia
• Gram negative spirochete
• Transmission - bite by ixodid tick
• Epidemiology - Europe, Australia
• CF - 3 phases
Early localized disease - erythema migrans( bull eyes), regional lymphadenopathy
Early disseminated disease - via lymphatics and blood, neurological presentation
like lymphocytic meningitis, cranial nerve palsies (bilateral facial nerve palsy), CVS -
heart block(AV block as prolong PR in ECG)
Late disease - Acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans, arthritis, polyneuritis

• Diagnosis - early localized phase - clinical, Antibody detection is frequently negative


early in the course of the disease but detected in disseminated or late disease
• Treatment - Guideline - IV Ceftriaxone prefer, penicillin or doxycycline

Listeriosis
• Listeria monocytogenes(Gram-positive bacillus)
• Transmission - cold enriched soft cheese, raw vegetables, meat
• Risk person - pregnancy, >60 yr, immunocompromised person
• CF - meningitis, brain-stem encephalitis
• Investigation - CSF ( normal glucose)
• Treatment - amoxicillin or ampicillin plus aminoglycosides, ceftriaxone is not e ective

Melioidosis
• Burkholderia pseudomallei(Gram negative bacillus-bipolar)
• Epidemiology - Southeast Asia, Thailand
• Transmission - rice paddy elds, inhalation or inoculation
• Risk person - diabetes, renal stones, thalassaemia, severe burns
• CF - abscesses in lung, liver, spleen
• Investigation - Ashdown agar
• Treatment - Ceftazidime 100 mg/kg (2 g 3 times daily) or meropenem (0.5–1 g 3 times
daily) is given for 2–3 weeks, followed by maintenance therapy of co-trimoxazole
(sulfamethoxazole 1600 mg plus trimethoprim 320 mg twice daily) or doxycycline 200
mg daily for 3–6 months
