(CO9) Explain the role of CD4 (T helper cells) in the progression from patients from being HIV positive to having AIDS. Why over the years the incidence of HIV infection has declined in the United States while the prevalence of AIDS has increased.
OR
(CO 9) Describe the four different types of acquired immunity. Your Answer:
Different types of immunity
Natural Acvtive - response of a person developing his own immune response to a microbe eg developing a cold and then building up immunity on that particular microbe
Natural Passive-Receiving a preformed immunity made by another person eg breastfeeding to a baby by a mother
Artificial Active-developing own immune response to a microbe eg vaccine for MMR, etc Artificial Passive- a person receiving immunity through another person eg blood transfusions
CD4 (T helper cells) are necessary to fully stimulate both the cell mediated and humeral immune responses. Without the “help” of CD4 cells, neither of the adaptive immune responses will be fully activated which leaves the individual susceptible to many infections that the body is unable to control. HIV infects CD4 cells and can remain latent for years. As the disease progresses, the virus replicates and destroys the CD4 cells. When the CD4 cell count drops below 200 cells/microliter, the individual goes from being HIV positive to having AIDS.
Recall that incidence is the number of “new” cases of HIV infections. The decline in the number of new cases may have many reasons – education of prevention, mutual monogamy, those who are infected have already been identified, etc. The prevalence of AIDS increases as infected individuals move from being HIV positive to having AIDS.

(CO 10) Describe three types of reservoirs of infectious disease in humans. Give an example disease for each type of reservoir.
Your Answer:
3 Differennt types of resoviours
Animal - animals that are infected with diseases can infect humans through contact . Conact including biting , scracthes , etc . Examples rabies transmitted by racoon bite,tick bite
Humans: humans can act as active disease resivours for infections. Carries may be asymtomatic and unknowlingly spread the disease to others by touching,kissing,sexual contact ,etc
Non living such as air,soil,water-pathogens can remain dormant in soil ,water or in the air . Oncethey are able to attach to a host they then able to replicate in their host . Example vibrio cholera living in water can infected a person who drinks the water unknowlingly .
Other diseases have been eradicated in certain regions or countries but have not been eradicated globally in the way that smallpox has. Some diseases cannot be eradicated because they are endemic to a region; this means that they naturally occur in a region. These diseases may be transmitted through animal vectors that cannot be eliminated, such as the mosquito and malaria. Some diseases cannot be eradicated because there are not vaccinations developed or are not used in enough frequency to be fully effective in sending the disease. The incidence of many diseases can be decreased but elimination has not been achieved.

For a pathogen to enter a new host, it must survive in some site from which it can infect the new host. (1POINT) These sites are considered reservoirs, which include the following (3 points each)
1. Animal reservoirs, such as domestic or wild animals. Examples: Lyme disease, rabies, West Nile fever
2. Human carriers, which are individuals who are infectious and may be either asymptomatic or symptomatic. Examples: AIDS, tuberculosis, typhoid fever

(CO 11) In an episode of the television show House, Dr. House removed the patient’s tracheostomy tube and viewed into the pharynx to find evidence of a pseudomembrane. He then contacted the CDC to obtain the patient’s needed treatment. What treatment did he think the patient was suffering from?

(CO 11) Explain whether there is a greater risk for E. coli O157:H7 infection when consuming a hamburger compared to consuming a steak (5points). Discuss whether or not food poisoning can still occur after consuming a reheated pot of soup known to be contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus.
Your Answer:
Looking ath what Dr.House found the mention of pseudomembrane leads me to believe that this patient is suffering from diptheria . Diptheria is caused by a bacteria called Corynebacterium diptheria . It is capable of producing toxins which are poisionous . It can cause difficult breating , swalloing , slight
fever ,etc .In some cases if it is severe it can cause heart failure and lead to death . This disease is spread
from person to person by contact and air droplets .People can get sick from touch or kissing an infected person.The toxins kill healthy tissues and this leads to the development of a thick gray colored mucus that builds up in the throat and nose AKA pseudomembrane.It causes difficulty breathing and swalloing . Confirmation of this disease can be done by a nasal or thraot swab which can be anazlysed at a lab .
Patients are usually treated with antibiotics and most of the recover.
This disease was a major cause of child deaths many years ago until the development of the vaccine called the dtap which is given to children in several doses through their years . Once they are adults they recieve a booster of the TDAP .
2 points per concept: (1) He suspected diphtheria, which is a reportable disease. (2) Diphtheria antitoxin is needed to treat this patient only available by distribution through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as (3) antitoxin neutralizes diphtheria toxin. Treatment will include an antibiotic to kill bacterial cells.
The infection is caused when (4) Corynebacterium diphtheria releases (5) exotoxin (diphtheria toxin); the membrane is formed by bacteria and consists of bacterial cells, fibrin, lymphocytes and dead tissue.
OR
During the slaughter of cattle, E. coli from the intestines can contaminate the ground meat used to make hamburgers. Additionally, ground beef is made from the combined meat of many different cattle. This increases the likelihood that the ground beef is contaminated with fecal matter from the intestines of the cattle. During the grinding process, the E.coli is mixed throughout the meat. A steak may become contaminated with fecal material but the fecal material remains on the outside of the steak and is easier to kill during the cooking process. Therefore, there is a greater risk of E. coli 0157:H7 from eating hamburger.
Staphylococcus aureus can be found everywhere, including human skin and nasal passages, and people who handle food can easily contaminate the food. S. aureus produces a number of different exotoxins that are heat-stable and not easily killed by normal cooking temperatures. To kill the exotoxins, the food must be cooked at greater than 100 C for at least 30 minutes! The exotoxins produced by S. aureus attack the gastrointestinal system causing the characteristic signs and symptoms. The exotoxins do not have a noticeable smell or taste which makes them difficult to detect until it is too late.
