Cases Infectious
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
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
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

anamnesis, injecting drug users, episodes of weakness, dark urine
1) Preliminary diagnosis
Acute viral hepatitis C : subclinical but no Ab (only in 4-10 week can detect) so assume HCV check for HCV
RNA
2) Diagnosis research
Liver function test : done ALT > AST : prodromal period, very high aminotransferase – severe hep ; check
for alkaline phosphatase (usually mild increase)

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

Serological test : widely
Agglutination assay, ELISA & immunoblotting : detect Ig G, Ig M, Ig A
+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
