Tropical diseases relates with Tropical Lung
Coccidioidomicosis
Diagnosis
Diagnosis Testing
Serologic tests→ Enzyme- linked
with EIAs for IgM and IgG ahould be ordered first, if possible inmmudiffusion tests.
Diagnosis for patients that we suspected exposure in an endemic area and present the sympthomps.
Respiratory illness of one
week or more, infiltrate on
chest radiography, adenopathy.
Microbiology
Coccidiomycosis is caused by the dimorphis fungi. Coccidioides is divided into subspacies. COCCIDIOIDES IMMITIS and COCCIDIOIDES PASADESII
Clinical manifestations
Chest pain,
Cough.
fever,
diffuse reticulonodular,
night sweeats
and weight loss
Paracoccidiodes
Diagnosis
Using the microscopic visualization of fungical elements suggestive os the specious and culturing the specimen and also de clinic.
Microscopy
Characterized as large 14-40 oval mather cell
Only two attached daughter buds
Culture
Can be cultured from sputum, biopsy samples
Incubate in a ambiental temperature.
Serologic test
Use to monitor the response to therapy, serum antibodies.
Skin testing
Is not use full for diagnosis of active disease
1,3- beta- D- glucan test
The cell wall component of many fungi.
We dont use it
Microbiology
Systemic endemic mycotic disease caused bt thermally dimorphic fungi
Paracoccidioides brasiliense
Paracoccidioides lutnii
Clinical manifestations
Fever
Weight loss
Lymphadenopathy
Hapatosplemergaly
Bone marrow dysfuntion
Histoplasmosis
Microbiology
The HISTOPLASMA CAPSULATUM.
This pathogen proliferates in soil
Contaminated with bird or bat droppings
Diagnosis
With the clinical manifestations
Fungal cultures
Useful in patients with
Chonic Pulmonary histoplasmosis
Antigen detection
Histoplasma antigen detection enzyme inmmunoessay
Histopathology an Citology
In the biopsy specimens
Granulomas, lymphohistacytic
Mononuclear infiltrates
Serology
1% residents in endemic areas
Inmunodiffusion test
PCR
11-15% of cultures are positive
Clinical manifestation
Fever, chills, headache
Myalgias, anorexia
Cough and chest pain
