Classification Leptospira Borrlelia Spirochetes QUIZ
3
Spirochatales LeptospiraceaeLeptospira L.interrogansL.biflexa Spirochataeceae Treponema Borrelia B.hermsiiB.burgdorferiB.recurrentis
4
나선균 Outer sheat Axial filament
6
- Tight & Regular coil - bend or hook at one or both ends - Gram negative - Motility - Aerobic - Cannot dye with Anilin dyes - leptospirosis
7
Leptospira interrogans – cause leptospirosis in humans, animals – 200 serotypes – catalase (+) Leptospira biflexa – harmless – free-living saprobe
8
Zoonosis – Wild animals (rodents, skunks, raccouns, foxes) – Domestic animals ( horses, dogs, cattle, pigs) Shed in the urine of an infected animal
9
Contact of skin abrasions or mucus membrane Outdoor activity → high risk for infection (occupational disease) Mostly in the tropics Not usually transmitted from person to person
11
Principal targets
12
Leptospiremic phase : in the blood, cerebrospinal fluid : sudden high fever, chills, headache, vomiting, conjunctivitis, muscle ache Immune phase : Disappear the Blood infection → phagocyte, IgM
13
Weil’s syndrome - kidney invasion, hepatic disease, jaundice, anemia, neurological disturbances ⇒ death in elderly patients
14
a. History of environmental exposure, symtoms b. Dark-field microscopy c. Serological test d. MAT test
15
a. History of environmental exposure, symtoms → initial diagnosis b. Dark-field microscopy
16
c. Serological test : Leptospira infection → strong humoral response → patient’s serum for its antibody titer
17
d. Macroscopic slide agglutination test (MAT test) – serological test : live L.interrogans + patient’s serum → aggulatination with a dark-field microscope
18
Treatment - Penicillin G, tetracycline Prevent - doxycycline 200mg 1 회 /1 주 - No vaccine - wear protective foot wear and clothing - aviod swimming or wading in water
19
Two species : L. interrogans, L. biflexa Leptospirosis : zoonosis, contact with urine Two phase :Leptospiremic phase & immune phase Weil’s syndrome Dark field microscopy, MAT, Serologycal test
21
comparatively lager 3 to 10 irregularly spaced and loose coil Gram negative Microaerophilic Borreliosis : zoonotic disease Arthropod vector : ticks or lice
22
Reservoirs : squirrels, chipmunks, wild rodents, human-accidental host Mature and persist in the salivary glands & intestines of the tick → bite and scratching → initiate infection
23
Tick-borne relapsing fever (TBRF) : - in campers, backpackers - Borrelia hermsii - by soft tick Louse-borne relapsing fever (LBRF) : - famine, war, natural disaster, poor hygiene - Borrelia recurrentis
24
Symtoms - high fever, headache, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, muscle aches → disappear - if not treated → cycle may continue, damage to the liver, spleen, heart, kidneys, cranial nerves - Half of the patients hemorrhage into organs - some develop a rash on sholder and leg
25
Fluctuating course - Borrelia change surface Ag during growth → strategy for evading the immune system and avoiding destruction
26
Diagnosis - A patient’s history,clinical symptoms - Borrelia in blood smears Treatment - Tetracycline : except for pregnant and children under 7 years old - erythromycin, doxycyline and Chloramphenicol - easily treated with a 1~2 week course of antibiotics
27
Borrelia burgdorferi Reservoir : Hard tick, mouse, deer, bird Most prominent borreliosis in the USA High-risk groups : hikers, gardeners, campers
30
headache, stiff neck, fever, myalgia Neurologi cal symptoms, cardiac dysrhyth mias erythema migrans crippling polyarthr itis Erythema migrans → (EM; bull’s eye rash)
31
- ring-shaped lesions (EM) - isolation of spirochetes - serological test - Western blot - ELISA test
32
Treatment : doxycycline, tetracycline, amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, penicillin Prevention : protective clothing, boots, leggings, insect repellent(containing DEET)
