35)typical dysentery: onset suddenly, whole body toxemia, cramping abdominal pain in left inferior abdomen, water stool initially
then bloody purulent stool, 10-20 times/day. accompanied by tenesmus.
36)sepsis: clinical evidence of infection plus systemic response to infection (fever/hypothermia, tachycardia, tachypnea,
leukocytosis).
37)severe sepsis: sepsis syndrome plus hypotension/ hypoperfusion.
38)refractory septic shock: shock lasting more than 1hr that is unresponsive to fluid administration and /or vasopressors.
39)sirs (systemic inflammatory response syndrome): wide variety of insults (infectious response syndrome and noninfectious)
that initiate profound systemic responses. sepsis syndrome is a subset of sirs and also a predominant cause of sirs.

1. diagnosis of severe hepatitis :
*bilirubin in blood arised rapidly .
*albumin decreased , globulin arised.
*nh3 level in blood arised.
*pt delay . prothrombin activity decreased.
*liver become small .
2. laboratory findings of bacillary dysentery :
*ematology (blood test route) : wbc >10-2010/l.

*bacteria culture of stool : positive with dusentery bacillus .
3. clinical manifestations of malaria : the clinical feature of malaria vary. the classic symptoms include persistant fever ,
shivering joint pains , headache and repeated vomiting. severe and complicated malaria causing renal failure , hypoglycemia
,anemia , pulomonary edema , shock and coma can have fatal consequences leading to death.
clinical course :
shivering phase : coolness of exttermities . total body coldness , skin wrinkles , lip cyanosis , whole body tremble , dens shudder .
20min - 1hr.
hyperpyrexia phase : temperature rise with coldness 2-6 hr.
sweating phase : sweat dripping wet 30min-1hr.
intermission phase : sense normal or slight malaise.
4. typical type of bacillary dysentery :
*suddenly onset , whole body toxemia: chill , fever , fatigue , headache .cramping abdominal pain , especially in inferior abdomen .
diarrhea: water stool initially , then bloody purulent stools,10-20 times/day.
burning sensation at anus: tenesmus , due to nerves of rectum being stimulated by local inflammation , a symptom characterized by
incomplete sense of evaluation with rectal (anus) pain press-pain on the left inferior abdomen .
5.principle of treatment of typical type bacillary dysentery
general treatment: isolate the patient , rest etc.
supportive treatment: given the oral rehydration salt (ors)
specific treatment: the first line medication of antibiotics : quinolones such as norfloxacin (0.4 tid for adult) or ciproflaxacin (0.2 tid for
adult) or ofloxacin (0.2 tid for adult) . the duration is 3-5 days .

toxin encephalopathy.
without diarrhea or abdominal pain.
infectious shock (bp, skin become cold, multiorgan failure, dic)
treatments:

14)what are the clinical manifestations of aids?
stage 1: primary hiv infection lasting for days to several weeks;*flu like signs: fever, headache, tired, sweating, malaise, enlarged
lymph nodes;
hiv antibody test may not yet be positive;
there is a large amount of hiv in the peripheral blood;
the immune system begins to respond to the virus by producing hiv antibody and cytotoxic lymphocytes.
stage 2: clinically asymptomatic stage
lasts for 2-10 years and is free from any symptoms;
the level of hiv in the peripheral blood drops but people remain infectious and hiv antibodies are positive in the blood.
large amounts of helper t cells are infected and die and a large amount of virus is produced.
stage 3: persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (pgl)
the lymph nodes and tissues are damaged.
hiv mutates and becomes more pathogenic, leading to more helper t cell destruction;
symptoms develop. initially many of the symptoms are mild, but as the immune system deteriorates the symptoms worsen.
stage 4: aids
opportunistic infections
cancer.
15)hiv transmission routes
unprotected sex.
sharing needles with infected people.
blood transfusion.
from infected mother to fetus.
