Vascular permeability - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1st response- inflammation
mediators (histamines & bradykinins) cause vessels to dilate & become
more permeable, enabling WBC's & platelets to site of injury
Cellular Chemotaxis - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔body releases chemical that dispatch
WBC's & platelets
Systemic Responses - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔FEVER*, pain, sleepiness, lethargy,
anemia, & weight loss
Titer - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the level of antibody within the bloodstream, usually
corresponds with to the level of exposure to the microbe
,TB, rubella, any vaccines...
Positive means you have been exposed through infection or vaccine!
HIV - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔attacks CD4 cells- normal range 800-1200
cells/mm^3
Becomes significant when below 500, below 200= aids
E-coli - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔bacteria are acquired by the fecal-oral route,
usually in food or contaminated
water. The bacteria live in the intestines of healthy cattle.
Immunocompetence - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔an individual's ability to protect
oneself from infectious agents because of a strong immune system
From a young age builds immune defenses & swiftly eliminates many
microorganisms as threats of infection
immunosuppression - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔indicates that there is a defective
immune system that is placing a person at risk for infections.
, opportunistic infection - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔which is an infection caused by a
microorganism that flourishes because of a host's deficient immune system
hospital-acquired infection - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A patient infection caused by
microorganisms that originated within the clinical environment
Difficult to treat bc often caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Type I immediate hypersensitivity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Allergy; person
produces many IgE antibodies against a specific allergen
Occurs minutes after contact with allergen; histamine is released
Symptoms include hives, hay fever, asthma, eczema, gastric disturbances,
and anaphylactic shock (a life-threatening severe form)
Type II cytotoxic hypersensitivity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Igs attack antigens on
cell surface
Antibody-mediated cell lysis results
Blood transfusion reaction is an example of a Type II hypersensitivity
