Viruses | Hepatitis | Strep and Other Infections | Hypersensitivity Immunology | Lab Testing |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is Varicella?
Shingles is caused by this virus.
|
What is Anti-HBs?
This hepatitis marker is used to indicate immunity and recovery.
|
What is S.pyogenes?
This Streptococcus species produces beta hemolytic colonies in blood agar.
|
What is an anaphylaxis?
Shock, vascular collapse, a respiratory failure after a wasp sting.
|
What is LISS (low ionic strength saline or media)?
This enhances agglutination reactions
|
What is herpes simplex virus?
A common virus that causes sores at the mouth and genitalia.
|
What is HAV?
This form of hepatitis is transmitted via fecal-oral route
|
What is Hyaluronidase?
This substance is what promotes bacterial spread in an active Group A Strep infection.
|
What is type II?
Hypersensitivity of autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
|
What is avidity?
The number of binding sites times the affinity is known as this.
|
What is CMV?
A herpes, DNA, cell-associated virus.
|
What is HBsAg and HBeAg?
These hepatitis B markers are often present during active infection.
|
What is rubella?
Fetal anomalies is highest at the first month in this maternal infection.
|
What is type I
Hypersensitivity of asthma and allergies.
|
What is lattice formation?
IgM antibodies produce the best agglutinates, the cross-links between antigens and antibodies, also known as this.
|
What is TORCH?
Toxoplasmosis, other infections, rubella, CMV, and herpes simplex virus are part of a group of tests known as this.
|
What is the anti-HAV IgM test?
This antibody test is the best used for active hepatitis A infection.
|
What is anti-streptolysin-O?
A test for this strep exotoxin antibody indicates past infection.
|
What is type IV?
Hypersensitivity involves sensitized T-helper cells. Cell-mediated.
|
What is the DAT?
The IAT and DAT both use AHG. This tests for in-vivo antibodies on patient's cells.
|
What is EBV?
This virus' primary mode of transmission is exposure to oral-pharyngeal secretions.
|
What is HBV and HCV?
Although not as common due to screening and testing, these forms of hepatitis were once known to be transmitted by unscreened blood products.
|
What is Treponema Pallidum?
The spirochete that causes syphilis.
|
What is graft-vs-host disease?
A reaction caused by a graft's T-cells reacting to the recipient's tissues?
|
What is precipitation?
Soluble antigen + soluble antibody yields this if positive.
