Systems

The Cardiovascular System
• Heart• Blood vessels• Lymphatics• Lymph nodes, spleen,
MALT• RBC• WBC: macrophage-
monocytes, T and B lymphocytes
![Page 3: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The Blood
• Carries O2, CO2, nutrients
• Cells + plasma• Septicemia – growth
of bacteria in blood• Septic shock –
endotoxin (LPS) release macrophage cytokines low blood pressure, high fever
![Page 4: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Cardiovascular System Defenses
• Defensins - antimicrobial proteins
• Phagocytes, antibodies, complement
• Filtering function of Lymph Nodes
• No normal flora
• Transient flora may contribute to disease
• Infections in blood are systemic

Previous Microbes of the Day That Infect the Cardiovascular System
• Eukaryotes– Plasmodium falciparum (malaria)
• Principles of Infectious Disease– Bacillus anthracis (anthrax)
• Clinical Immunology– Rheumatic Fever following
Streptococcus pyogenes infection = Type II Hypersensitivity

Yersinia pestis
• Cause of Plague• Gram negative rod• Grows in digestive
tract of flea = vector• Reservoir is rodents,
prairie dogs• Endemic above
4,000 ft elevation in Arizona

Plague in Arizona
![Page 8: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Prairie Dog Plague, Flagstaff, 2001
• 99 colonies observed
• 49 colonies experienced >99% mortality May-September 2001
• Y. pestis confirmed as cause of die offs at 19 colonies

Bubonic Plague
• Transmitted by flea bite
• Y. pestis enters blood and grows in macrophages in lymph nodes
• Swollen lymph nodes are buboes
![Page 11: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Plague
• Septicemic plague
– proliferation in blood
– endotoxin shock
• Pneumonic plague
– lung infection
–100% mortality
– spread by droplets
• Curable with antibiotics if diagnosed quickly

Lyme Disease• Primary Lesion
– bulls-eye rash on skin
• Secondary lesion– flu-like symptoms,
neurological symptoms
• Tertiary lesion– inflammation of
large joints
![Page 13: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lyme Arthritis
• Immune system Type III hypersensitivity to persisting antigen antigen-antibody complexes inflammation, tissue damage by neutrophils
![Page 14: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Borrelia burgdorferi
• Spirochetes are very narrow spiral-shaped bacteria
• Gram negative
• Motile
![Page 15: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lyme Disease Vectors
• Tick vector bites infected reservoir (deer, mouse) and become infected; transmit disease to humans through bites
![Page 16: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Disease emerged when humans moved into tick/reservoir environment

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
• Fever, chills, headache, muscle pain
• Red --> black rash
• Transmitted to humans by tick bites

Rickettsia• Bind to cell
surface and are taken in by phagocytosis
• Escape from phagosome into cytoplasm
![Page 22: Infectious Diseases of the Cardiovascular and Lymphatic Systems](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081518/5499de70ac7959292e8b59e0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Rickettsia• Obligate
intracellular bacteria
• Polymerize cell actin for locomotion
• Have ETC
• Obtain nutrients and NAD+ and CoA from host

Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
• Treatable with antibiotics
• Diagnosed using fluorescent antibodies on tissue samples, PCR
• 20% of untreated cases and 5-10% of treated cases are fatal
