2025 PATHOPHYSIOLOGY 1 GALEN
COLLEGE ACTUAL EXAM 4 LATEST
UPDATED 85 QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS
(EXPERT SOLVED)
1. What is the pathophysiology for Neisseria gonorrhea, the etiology and
its clinical manifestations?: patho- gram negative diplococcus N. Gonorrhea,
attaches and penetrates columnar epithelium (can occur/spread through
lymphatic system)
etiology- contact with mucous membranes of an infected person
CM- discharge, dysuria, infertility
females- asymptomatic, but may have infertility males-
urethritis, redness, swelling
2. What is the pathophysiology of chlamydia, and the clinical
manifestations?: patho- C. trachomatis act on columnar epithelium similar to
gonorrhea
CM- the s/s are less severe than gonorrhea
3. What is the pathophysiology of syphilis and the etiology?: patho-
systemic infection of vascular system
etiology- caused by treponema pallidum, pathogens migrate to regional lymph
nodes within hours (can invade/multiply in any organ system)
, 4. What are the clinical manifestations of syphilis?: Incubation 10-90 days
primary- painless chancre, untreated resolves in 3-6 weeks
secondar- untreated chancre resolve, followed by cutaneous rash, flu like s/s
(spread throughout bloodstream and lymphatic system)
latent- no s/s present early latent= contagious, last up to 40years
tertiary- cardiovascular and nervous system at risk, aortic necrosis and
insufficiency
(damage to CNS paresis, blindness, mental deterioration)
5. what is the pathophysiology of genital herpes, its etiology, and clinical
manifestations?: patho- virus in ganglion neurons etiology- self-limiting, virus
stored in ganglion neurons, stress=trigger activation CM- fluid field vesicles
after 3-7 days incubation, lesions recut at the site of initial occurrence females=
cervix
males= glans penis, foreskin, shaft
6. what is the pathophysiology of HPV, and the etiology?: patho-
epithelial lesions of anogenital region, infests single epithelial cells- divides and
proliferates
(incubation 1-20months)
etiology- epithelial lesions- geneital warts
7. what is the clinical manifestations for HPV?: Period of communicability
unknown, thought to last as long as lesions persist and possibly even after
removal, single or multiple lesions, soft pink to brown, small-large, raised or
flat, pruritic, painful, bleed easily
Females- vagina and cervix, anogenital area
(cervical cancer with some types of warts)
males- urethra, anogenital area
