| problems with antiparasitic drug treatments |
|
Definition
| parasites are eukaryotic, too much diversity, resistance common, and limited spectrum of available agents --> prophylaxis is important to do |
|
|
Term
| intestinal protozoa are characterized by 2 things: |
|
Definition
| trophozoite (pathologic) and cyst(transmission)stages |
|
|
Term
| intestinal protozoan parasite transmission |
|
Definition
| fecal-oral route typically via contaminated water |
|
|
Term
| life cycle for intestinal protozoan parasites |
|
Definition
| ingest cyst, excystation in stomach/bowel releases trophozoites, trophs divide by binary fusion, eventually form cysts and are contagious |
|
|
Term
| fecal-oral; bloody diarrhea; w/ localized necrosis of large intestine |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| bloody diarrhea w/ a liver abcess |
