verruga peruana (Fig 18-11) – Small nodules form and subsequently become larger – Vascular miliary, nodular and mular lesions form (resemble pyogenic granuloma) – Can ulcerate, bleed, and heal by fibrosis over several months – Various stages may occur together • Diagnosis: • Histology: Rocha-Lima bodies: purple cytoplasmic inclusion bodies in endothelial cells • Hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and elevated liver function studies • Treatment: chloramphenicol or doxycycline • • BRUCELLOSIS (MEDITERRANEAN FEVER, MALTA FEVER, GASTRIC REMITTENT FEVER, AND UNDULENT FEVER) •

and GI tracts • Infections are seen in occupations with direct or indirect exposures to animals, such as the meat-packing industry, or from unpasteurized dairy products (goat cheese) • Incubation is between 1–8 weeks • Cell wall lipopolysaccharide (LPS): principal virulence factor that enters macrophages • Infects organs of the reticuloendothelial system (i.e., liver, spleen, bone marrow) FIGURE

patients may have myalgias, weakness as well as meningitis like symptoms (headache, photophobia) – Immune: occurs after a few days of improvement following the septicemic stage – Occurs as a result of an immune reaction to the infection – Circulating antibodies may be detected or the organism may be isolated from urine; it may not be recoverable from blood or CSF • Subclinical meningitis with headaches, fever, petechiae • Cutaneous lesions: macular or maculopapular eruption with erythematous, urticarial, petechial, or desquamative lesions, jaundice (90% of 331 TICK-BORNE BACTERIAL INFECTIONS • • • • • • patients manifest a mild anicteric form of the disease) • Vasculitis of capillaries: petechiae, intraparenchymal bleeding, and bleeding along serosa and mucosa • Organ involvement: direct hepatic injury (jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, nausea and vomiting), alveolar capillary injury, renal tubular necrosis, myocarditis and coronary arteritis • CSF: ± encephalitis Syndromes occasionally based on species type • L autumnali: Pretibial fever (Fort Bragg fever): fevers, pretibial erythema, and ocular symptoms • L grippotyphosa: Gastrointestinal symptoms • L pomona or L canicola: aseptic meningitis: • L icterohaemorrhagiae: jaundice (83% of patients) Weil syndrome: profound jaundice, renal dysfunction, hepatic necrosis, pulmonary dysfunction, and hemorrhagic diathesis Diagnosis Serologies: microscopic agglutination test (MAT): four-fold increase Indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA): • Dark-field microscopy of blood or rising antibodies • Culture: blood, CSF, urine Treatment: tetracyclines or penicillin (possible Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction) Typhoidal (10–15% of cases) severe form with pneumonia, fever, myalgias • Diagnosis: • Blood cultures: usually normal • Serologic testing: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), polymerase chain reaction (PCR) • Treatment: aminoglycosides (streptomycin) • Considered by the CDC to be a viable weapon of bioterrorism (Category A) • Lyme Disease (Fig 18-12) • Caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi • Vector: Ixodes ticks (hard ticks) • Eastern/midwestern United States: I scapularis, I dammini • Northwestern United States: I pacificus • Europe: I ricinus and I persulcatus • Clinical • Stage 1: early localized – Erythema migrans (EM) occurs in up to 80% of cases – Erythematous macule or papule at site of the tick bite, can have central clearing – Expanding figurate erythema occurs over days to weeks – Typically resolves in about one month TICK-BORNE BACTERIAL INFECTIONS Tularemia (Ohara’s Disease, Deer Fly Fever) • Francisella tularensis (gram-negative coccobacillus) • Vectors: hard tick (Dermacentor andersoni) or deer fly (Chrysops discalis) • Reservoir: rabbits (“rabbit fever” common in hunters) • Incubation period of 3–4 days • Clinical • Eight forms: depend on mode of transmission: ulceroglandular (most common), glandular, oculoglandular, oropharyngeal, pulmonary, typhoidal, meningeal, chancriform – Intracellular parasitism of reticuloendothelial system of humans – Infection common in hunters after infected animal exposure via vectors • Ulceroglandular (70–80% of cases) – Organism enters through a scratch or abrasion – Tender papule that ulcerates with sporotrichoid spread – Regional lymphadenopathy FIGURE 18-12 Lyme disease (Reprinted with permission from Connor DH et al Pathology of Infectious Diseases Stanford, CT: Appleton & Lange;

the depth of involvement, with ecthyma yielding true epidermal ulceration Impetigo also tends to involve young children and perioral locations, while ecthyma is more common in teens and adults and is often situated on the lower extremities D In bullous impetigo, certain forms of Staphylococcus aureus (Phage Group 2) may elaborate a toxin which locally cleaves desmogleins, yielding subcorneal epidermal separation D Cutaneous streptococcal infections may yield both post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis and scarlet fever, but they not yield rheumatic fever 343 REFERENCES C Staphyloccal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) is caused by the elaboration of toxins by the bacteria that are distributed systemically, and act to cleave desmogleins in the upper aspects of the epidermis yielding desquamation Because the toxin is cleared by the kidneys, adults with pre-existing renal insufficiency are at a greater risk for the disease A In comparision to ordinary cellulitis, erysipelas is distinguished by brighter (more red) erythema and sharp and well-dermarcated lesions Erysiploid often demonstrates a more dusky and purple erythema Bilateral lesions are uncommon in both classic cellulitis and erythema and often suggest the existence of a severe exacerbation of stasis dermatitis B Corynebacterium, like Corynebacterium minutissimum that is involved in erythrasma, produced water-soluble coproporphyrin III, which fluoresces a “coral-red” color when examined using a Wood’s lamp Care must be taken not to test recently washed skin, as this may remove the coproporphyrin resulting in a “false-negative” test A The ancient name of “malignant pustulosis” to describe cutaneous anthrax is somewhat of a misnomer as lesions of cutaneous anthrax are rarely purulent With the exception of potential bioterrorism using a “weaponized” strain, most cases of cutaneous anthrax represent an acquired zoonosis and are not fatal “Edema factor,” a toxin elaborated by the organism, can cause significant localized, regional, and even systemic edema E Necrotizing fasciitis is a medical emergency The infection can result in a large degree of tissue loss and mortality, particularly when it is not diagnosed early Often the first indication is pain out of proportion to physical findings and exceeding that of simple cellulitis Tissue necrosis and hemorrhagic bullae often follow later To make the diagnosis a deep incisional biopsy is needed C Hot-tub folliculitis is a self-limited condition caused by the gram-negative organism, Pseudomonas aeruginosa It most often occurs on the skin underneath swimwear and is a result of inadequate chlorination All the other answer choices are gram-positive organisms 10 Part A: A-5, B-2, C-1, D-3, E-4; Part B: A-1, B-3, C-4, D-5, E-2
