I get tomorrow off so I can study the stuff below. It's about 15% of the next test. Hurray!
1. Diagnose and manage acute suppurative parotitis and differentiate it from chronic and viral parotitis.
2. Diagnose and manage gingivitis and periodontitis.
3. Compare and contrast the different deep fascial space infections and summarize the microbiology, anatomic considerations, and appropriate management of each.
4. Differentiate orofacial odontogenic from non-odontogenic infections.
5. Compare and contrast the etiology, microbiology, and pathogenesis of primary and secondary peritonitis.
6. Diagnose primary peritonitis based on history, physical examination, and laboratory findings.
7. Formulate a treatment plan for primary peritonitis, including appropriateness of using empiric antibiotics pending results of microbiologic data.
8. Generate a differential diagnosis of liver abscess.
9. Compare and contrast the epidemiology, microbiology, clinical features, and diagnostic considerations of pyogenic liver abscess and amebic liver abscess (ALA).
10. Compare the 3 types of enteric infections (Noninflammatory, inflammatory, and penetrating) with regards to clinical features of illness, findings on stool analysis, and respective microbiology.
11. Summarize the infectivity of the major enteric pathogens based on their respective “infectious dose.”
12. Differentiate the pathogenic mechanisms of Escherichia coli-associated diarrhea.
13. Construct an evidence-based approach to the diagnosis and management of a patient presenting with presumed infectious diarrhea.
14. Differentiate the unique viral causes of gastroenteritis based on epidemiology and clinical features at presentation.
15. Outline the etiologic causes of traveler’s diarrhea.
16. Manage a patient with traveler’s diarrhea.
17. Diagnose and manage antibiotic-associated colitis due to Clostridium difficile infection.
18. Generate a differential diagnosis for patients presenting with acute dysentery.
19. Differentiate infectious from noninfectious inflammatory enterocolitis.
20. Diagnose giardiasis.
21. Compare and contrast the unique epidemiologies for non-typhoidal salmonellosis.
22. Compare and contrast the epidemiology and clinical illnesses caused by Yersinia enterocolitica and Clostridium perfringens, type C.
23. Diagnose and manage enteric fever due to Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi given epidemiologic risk for multidrug resistance.
24. Differentiate foodborne illness caused by S. aureus and Bacillus cereus.
25. Differentiate epidemiology and clinical implications of Hepatitis A and E virus infections.
26. Summarize the relationship between shiga-toxin-producing strains of Shigella and E.coli with the complication of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS).
27. Summarize the relationship between chronic HCV infection and extrahepatic disease.
28. Summarize the relationship between Campylobacter jejuni infection and extraintestinal disease.
29. Diagnose the hyperinfection syndrome associated with infection with Strongyloides stercoralis.
