,Week 5: Infections
History of infectious diseases
Epidemics
Pandemic = worldwide spread of infectious disease
Epidemic = collective disease → requires common explanation
➔ An event with a widespread threat response by society
Configuration Contamination
Holism: unique configuration of Person-to-person transmission
circumstances
(Dis)balance More general sense
Multifactorial Monocausal
Predisposition: some people are more susceptible to epidemic disease
Dramaturgic event in 4 acts (comparable to a play):
1. Progressive revelation: unwilling and slow acceptance and acknowledgement →
acceptance leads to the consequences of the threat
2. Managing randomness: creation of explanatory framework (mixture of medical
knowledge and moral/social assumptions)
3. Negotiating public response: pressure to be decisive (measures reflect cultural
attitudes and rituals)
4. Epilogue: gradual decline of incidence or becomes part of normal life → evaluation
Political consequences
Until mid-19th century: emphasis on configuration
➔ Industrial and urban populations vs happier conditions in rural areas (poor people
were often blamed)
Tuskegee study: black, African men with syphilis was done research on, but they were not
helped, even though penicillin was already on the market for 15 years
Medical revolution: better hygiene
Second half of the 19th century: germ theory → more emphasis on contamination
(configuration is still relevant!)
Two important morals:
- Both models mirror and imply policy choices
- Emphases, not answers
Spread:
- Spread to lymph and blood
o Tissue fluids
o Local macrophages
o Lymphatic system
- Spread from blood
o Free
o Attached to other cells
- Spread via nerves
- Spread via cerebrospinal fluid
- Spread via peritoneal and pleural cavity
Transmission:
- Endogenous: from the body’s own microbiome
- Air-borne: aerosols and droplets
- Faeco-oral route
- Vector-borne: most important is Malaria caused by mosquitos
- Direct person-to-person spread: by actual contact
- Indirect person-to-person spread: by indirect contact (fomites: e.g. door handle)
- Direct inoculation: goes into internal environment directly (e.g. because of an open
fracture)
- Consumption of infected material
- Zoonosis: from animals (e.g. rabies, Q-fever and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease)
Bacterial infections
Virulence factors: proteins that aid bacteria in entering the cell, evade the immune system
and exit the host
- Adherence proteins: to adhere to the cells
- Invasion proteins
- Capsules: to avoid opsonization
- Endotoxins (on gram negative bacteria): cause inflammation
- Exotoxins: protein toxins
- Siderophores: to take away host’s iron
Viral infections
Course of a viral infection:
6
, - Incubation: period between infection and onset of symptoms
- Prodrome: period of initial symptoms
- Invasion: period of multiplication and disease
- Convalescence: period of healing
Viremia: when the virus enters the bloodstream → systemic infection
Common symptoms of a viral infection:
- Malaise
- Muscle ache
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Coughing
- Runny nose
- Fever
Viruses must enter host’s cell in order to survive and replicate
➔ Penetrate or fuse with the membrane of the cell → releases viral DNA or RNA into
the cell
Bacteriophage: virus that infects and replicated in bacteria
Prions
= proteins that can make healthy proteins in the body (e.g. the brain) fold the wrong way →
widespread, fatal damage
➔ Causes Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
Transmission:
- (in)direct person-to-person contact
- Faeco-oral route
- Ingestion of infected material
Tuberculosis
= from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Transmission: air-borne
Pathophysiology:
1. Bacteria enters the lungs, where it gets phagocytosed
2. Produces enzymes that inhibit lysosomes and phagocytic vacuole fusion
3. Bacteria survives and proliferates → local infection = primary tuberculosis
4. Infection mostly gets killed by the immune system or walled off in granulomas and
becomes latent (when the person has a competent immune system)
Reactivation tuberculosis: when the immune system is not competent enough to fight the
infection → more necrotic areas → cavity formation → reactivation of the bacteria
Symptoms:
- Fever
- Chills
- Night sweats
- Malaise
- Fatigue
- Appetite loss
- Weight loss
- Pleuritic chest pain
- Cough
- Crepitations during lung auscultation
Extrapulmonary tuberculosis: involves other organs (e.g. the kidneys, meninges and lymph
nodes)
➔ Miliary tuberculosis: systemic infection that can affect any organ
Symptoms:
- Depends on the organ
- Dyspnea
- Weight loss
- Fever
- Chills
Prevention: extensive screening (Mantoux test) and immunization (BCG vaccine)
Syphilis
= from treponema pallidum
Transmission: sexually and perinatally (bacteria crosses the placenta)
