21.4 Essay Questions
1) Explain the difference between bacteremia and septicemia, and describe
some of the factors that can lead to septicemia.
Answer: Septicemia is a microbial infection of the blood that causes disease. Although
the terms bacteremia and septicemia are sometimes used interchangeably, bacteremia
technically refers to septicemia caused by bacteria in the bloodstream.
The signs and symptoms of bacteremia and septicemia are essentially the
same, and
both can lead to adverse consequences such as toxemia, lymphangitis, or
septic shock. To be able to cause these problems, the bacteria involved in
septicemia may possess capsules, have the ability to capture iron from the
host’s tissues, and/or release a variety of endotoxins that ultimately damage
host cells and tissues. Bloom’s Rank: Comprehension
Section: Bacterial Cardiovascular and Systemic Diseases
2) Compare and contrast bubonic and pneumonic plague.
Answer: Both bubonic and pneumonic plague are caused by Yersinia pestis and
are
transmitted by fleas that migrate between animal hosts and humans. However,
pneumonic plague is generally much more serious than bubonic plague, develops
more rapidly, and is more often fatal than bubonic plague. In addition, pneumonic
plague can occur when Yersinia pestis is inhaled, so it can be transmitted from
person to person. Bubonic plague is transmitted only by infected fleas. Treatment
and prevention of both diseases are similar: plague is easily treated by common
antibiotics such as tetracycline, and prevention involves rodent and flea control,
as well as good personal hygiene.

3) List and describe the three stages of malaria, paying attention to the
various forms of the protozoan parasite present in each stage of the disease.
Answer: Two of the three stages of malaria occur in a human, and the third stage
occurs in mosquitoes. The human stages begin with the exoerythrocytic cycle,
when
mosquitoes inject sporozoites into the bloodstream. These sporozoites reproduce in
the liver to form merozoites, which are released into the blood. Merozoites then
penetrate red blood cells and launch the second human stage, which is the
erythrocytic cycle. The merozoites become trophozoites inside red blood cells, and
these trophozoites can, in turn, reproduce to become more merozoites, which
spontaneously lyse the erythrocytes, causing the characteristic cycles of fever and
chills associated with malaria. Other merozoites develop into gametocytes, which
can be ingested by the female Anopheles mosquito to launch the third cycle, the
sporogonic cycle. These gametocytes go through a process of sexual reproduction
inside the mosquito, eventually resulting in the formation of sporozoites once again.
These sporozoites migrate to the mosquito’s salivary glands, and the malaria cycle
begins all over again.

4) Compare and contrast dengue hemorrhagic fever and Ebola
hemorrhagic fever. Discuss both the pathogens and the pathology.
Answer: Both diseases are caused by RNA viruses. Both start with
fever, headache
and muscle pain, then a rash develops, followed by bleeding. There is no specific
treatment for either disease and no vaccines are available to prevent them.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is caused by a member of the Flaviviridae,
a +ssRNA virus
with an icosahedral capsid. It is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes. A first
infection with dengue virus does not lead to the hemorrhagic disease, but it is
subsequent infection that produces the hemorrhagic disease. Memory T cells
produced in response to the first infection are activated upon subsequent
infection and release inflammatory cytokines that trigger a hyperimmune
response that results in damage to blood vessels, internal bleeding, and may
progress to shock from excessive blood loss.
Ebola viruses are filamentous —ssRNA Filoviridae whose natural hosts are
thought
to be bats. Humans become infected when handling an infected animal, after
which the virus can be transmitted from person to person by unprotected contact
with blood and other bodily fluids. Ebola virus infection initially triggers excessive
clotting which results in depletion of clotting factors, which in turn leads to
extensive internal hemorrhaging. Death results from massive shock and
kidney failure.

5) How does the age of the infected individual play a role in the development of
Epstein-Barr virus (HHV-4) infections such as infectious mononucleosis?
Answer: The symptoms of most Epstein-Barr infections result from a “war”
between the cellular and humoral divisions of the immune system. B cells are
infected by Epstein-Barr virus, and then cytotoxic T cells try to kill the infected
B cells. The younger an infected individual is, the less mature his or her cellular
immune system is, and the less effective it will be in causing symptoms during
the “war.” In fact, in young children, Epstein-Barr virus infections are usually
asymptomatic. The later in life an individual is infected with Epstein-
Barr virus, the
more vigorous the cellular immune system is, and the more problematic and
symptomatic the infection becomes. On the other hand, however, a
vigorous cellular
immune response also means that the infected B cells may be
completely eradicated
from the body, resulting in no discernible disease in
many individuals. Bloom’s Rank: Comprehension
