Task 1

Patient N, 25 years old, came from a country of endemic cholera, went to the doctor with a medical unit, complains on
chilling, nausea, single vomiting, abdominal discomfort, watery stool 3-4 times

1) Medical history to find out


 What does the patient eat before the day 1st sign of illness start?
 Check body temperature
 What is his 1st symptom, watery diarrhea or nausea & vomiting
 How is patient’s abdominal pain? Have spasmodic pain or only discomfort?
 Does the patient has intoxication syndrome?
 Does the patient have inflammation syndrome?
 Dehydration symptoms?
 Color of watery stool?
 Does the patient have consciousness of disturbance?

2) Diagnostic search
 Bacteriological method : feces, vomit - add preservative because cholera die in 1-2 hour
 phase of dark field microscopy (use fresh specimen)
 inoculation of specimen from patient or corpse on selective nutritive media :
 alkaline peptone h2o
 TCBS agar – pale-flat, yellow colony, in 12-24 hour, 37°C
 Serological method
 After 5-7th day of disease – on 10th-12th day of disease
 Discover Ab of cholera vibrio
 In blood
 Express diagnostic method
 Detect Ag (1st day disease
 In feces and other materials
 IF method
 Result after 1.5-2 hours

3) Confirmation method : serological method

4) Lab study to conduct


 FBC / CBC – check sodium, potassium, etc
 Hematocrit
 Relative plasma density
 pH level
 Hb level
 CN pressure
 Plasma K+
 Basic electrolyte deficit

5) Therapeutic treatment
 Rehydration therapy (ASAP)
 Compensation of fluid loss & correct metabolism
 Changes and maintain normal hydration
 2 phases : 1 – rehydration (IV) :
 for first 4 hours, 65 < 70kg (2hr - 5l)
 severe : 1st 30 min : 30ml / kg, 80-120ml / 50-100ml/kg/hr
 in severe : USE Lactated Ringer solution NOT NaCl
 saline : for 1st, 2nd stage + not vomiting
2 - maintanence : (oral)
 may up to days in severe case
 800-1000 ml / hr
 Antibacterial therapy
 Antibiotic : LPS  no invasion, no intoxication (fever), no inflammation
 Not curative
 For diminishing duration & volume of fluid loss
 For hasten clearance of organism
 Pramidol + suprastin : for cramps & anaphylactic – cessation of vomiting, give 3-5 day

6) Rule of discharge
 Clinical convalescence
 After the course of antibacterial therapy
 Triple feces inoculation (every 24-36 hour after course of antibacterial therapy
 Bile inoculation (portions B&C – single ; for persons working with food stuff)
 Discharge after rehydration :
 Oral tolerance > 1000ml/hr
 Urine > 40ml/hr
 Stool volume < 400ml/hr

Task 2

Patient S, 34 y.o, carpenter, admitted to infectious hospital for 3rd day of disease

Acute disease : chills, temp 38.2°C, headache, malaise, cramping, abdominal pain, loose stool, “no account” with mucus
blood

The next day, abdominal pain increase, localized to Left, frequent urge to defecation, stool volume decrease, retain fever. On
exam : pale skin, cold hand and feet, body temperature 38.9°C, pulse 110, BP 100/60, rhythmic, satisfactory filling, muffled
heart sound, dry tongue, white coated. On palpation, painful along large intestine predominantly on LLQ. Stool exam, soft
with streak of blood

1) Preliminary diagnosis
 Acute shigellosis colitis variant of moderate form
 Why colitis?
 Acute onset
 Intoxication syndrome (fever)
 Diarhheal syndrome
 Distal spasmodic hemocolitis
 1st defecation : large amount of stool
 Increase no of defecation & change stool consistency
 Decrease volume stool in subsequent defecation in 1st – 2nd day
 Presence mixtures of stool (blood, mucus, pus)
 Abdominal pain in lower abdomen, mostly in L lower quadrant where spasm of sigmoid colon can be
found
 No dehydration

2) Medical history should be taken :


 Any water or food intake by onset of symptom?
 Any family member has the same symptom?
 Any constipation before? (diff dx with chronic, colon cancer)
 What is feature of clinical course?
 Location of abdominal pain, characteristic of pain?
 Condition of stool? – presence or absence of mixture?, frequency? , volume?

3) Pathogenic mechanism of diarrhea


 Exudative inflammation of shigellosis
 Intoxication due to : endotoxin (PGE&PGF) and enterotoxin in endothelial of GIT  triggers the signaling
cascade for macrophage / endothelial cell / cascade biochemical secretion action  resulting in
inflammation  elicit secretion of h2o & electrolyte in GIT : diarrhea, increase motility : nausea & vomiting

4) Leading symptoms
 Pain along large intestine : predominant in LLQ
 Admixtures of stool with blood
 Distal spastic homocolitis (raise urge of defecation)

5) Lab studies
 Gold standard : bacteriological
 Serological
 1st one hour of infection can check Ag in blood, stool, saliva, urine, all bio fluids

 Localized – other shigella

6) Medical measures :
 Colitis form : immediately give antibiotic to prevent becoming chronic
 Detoxification : crystalloid
 Antiinflammation : powder / liquid – bismuth subnitrate / NSAID (contraindicationulcer)
 Spasmolytic
 Anti,microbial (etiotropic)
 Enterosorbent  smecta
 Probiotics – after antibiotic therapy ; in moderate & severe

7) Rules of discharge

colon inflammation) ; resolve after 4 days, if perceive maybe salmonellosis; after 2 week only can check for
salmonellosis

2) Diagnostic research

pain & spots on skin. Fever reactivated febrile digit. Doctor charges to antihistamines therapy, but following days fever
remain high, disturbed moderate stomach pain, laxative stool 3-4x a day. There are swelling redness, stiffness & sharp pain
when palpated. On 10th day of disease, body temperature 39.7°C, hyperemia. Bright erythema & edema of skin, knee, elbow,

 +ve Ig M – support dx, 4 fold rise between acute & convalescent, after 2w onset if Ab titer not
observed, repeat after several day because Ab titer appear later in yersiniosis, increase titer 
exacerbation, decrease titer  remission
4) Treatment tactics
 Antibacterial therapy : pt have intoxication & arthritis
 Duration : in 2w till 10day of normalization = 3w, make sure not less than 2 month
 Antibiotic tx is short duration effectiveness, so if after 7 days there is no improvement means
antibiotic not effective
 Anti-inflammatory therapy

5) Tactic of survey at point of reference
