Bacteria
This bacteria is the leading cause of pharyngitis and cellulitis
Streptococci Pyogens
This virus replicates in the GI tract and typically affects infants and young children. The diagnosis can be made by detection of viral antigens in the the stool by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
What is rotavirus
This fungal disease shows spherules on microscopy and is seen in the Southwestern United States and Latin America. "Valley Fever" in immunocompetent.
What is coccidioides
This is a blood protozoa that causes fever and chills with red blood cell lysis and the mode of transmission is by the anopheles mosquito
What is plasmodium species (malaria)
Which of the two esophageal sphincters allows a bolus of food to move past the GEJ in the stomach?
What is the lower esophageal sphincter
This bacteria is transmitted by its spores germinating when rice is kept warm for many hours (ie. reheating fried rice)
What is Bacillus Cereus
This is a retrovirus that replicates through a life cycle involving reverse transcription, integrates into the host cell DNA, and releases new viral particles containing the viral genomic RNA. It infects CD4+ lymphocytes resulting in their destruction.
What is HIV
This fungal disease usually occurs in Latin America, especially Brazil, and causes ulcerated lesions of the face and mouth.
What is Paracoccidioides
This is a tissue protozoa that can be transmitted by foodborne ingestion of uncooked beef or lamb or by fecal-oral ingestion of infectious oocysts in cat feces
What is Toxoplasma gondii
The fundus, cardia, body, antrum, and pylorus are all part of which organ?
What is the stomach
This bacteria can cause a disease that results in marked hyperextension of the back, called opisthotonos, because the exotoxin inhibits the release of mediators of the inhibitory neurons in the spinal cord.
What is Clostridium Tetani
This is a non enveloped, single-stranded, positive sense virus in the Picornaviridae family and is spread primarily through the ingestion of fecally contaminated food or water.
What is hepatitis A virus
This fungus occurs especially in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys, and grows in soil heavily contaminated with bird droppings.
What is Histoplasmosis caused by histoplasma capsulatum
This parasite causes a type of amebic meningoencephalitis that occurs in young, previously healthy people and is associated with warm, freshwater lakes
What is Naegleria fowleri
This is the mucosal layer that underlies the basement membrane of the simple columnar epithelium throughout the small intestine, and lies over the plicae circulares.
What is the lamina propria
This bacteria is transmitted by airborne droplets and causes whooping cough, or severe coughing episodes.
What is Bordetella Pertussis
This virus can cause oval Negri bodies in brain cells
What is Rabies virus
This yeast is part of the normal flora of mucous membranes but forms pseudohyphae and hyphae when it invades tissue. It causes thrush.
What is Candida albicans
This parasitic protozoan is transferred by the bite of an infected reduviid bug (kissing bug) and causes Chagas disease
What is Trypanosoma Cruzi
These glands are found within the submucosal layer, are specific to the duodenum and are responsible for secreting bicarbonate to neutralize the acidic contents received from the stomach.
What are Brunner Glands
This bacteria is associated chiefly with environmental water sources such as air conditioners, hot tubs, and water cooling towers and causes pneumonia
What is Legionellae
There are 30 different types of non enveloped viruses that can infect the genital tract.
What are papillomaviruses
This is a common environmental mold that has septate hyphae and is inhaled into the respiratory tract. It is characterized by causing hemorrhage and tissue infarction, especially in the lungs.
What is aspergillus fumigatus
Malarone is now used to treat this protozoa, because of its large resistance to chloroquine.
What is Plasmodium falciparum
This is an S-shaped aspect of the large intestine that primarily functions to store fecal matter that has been prepared for defecation.
What is the sigmoid colon
