Common symptoms are acral necrosis of the extremities (such as the toes, fingers, lips and tip of the nose), high fever, nausea, vomiting, and breathing difficulty. Left untreated, Yersinia pestis can multiply rapidly in the bloodstream, possibly causing septicemic plague or even creep towards the lungs causing pneumonic plague. In order to diagnose bubonic plague, testing in the laboratory is required. Identification of the bacterium Yersinia pestis culture in a sample of serum from a patient’s blood is used for confirmation of the
Author: Jake Date: 12/09/2010 Introduction This essay includes my findings from research on the disease, and explains the signs, symptoms, causes, cures and prevention of the pathogen Cholera. The Bacterium Cholera is a severe bacterial infection caused by the bacterium “Vibrio cholerae”, the most common symptoms of the infection are diarrhoea ,vomiting and muscle cramps, this can lead to rapid dehydration and sometimes death. You can transmit Cholera by water that is contaminated with infected faeces; and also transmit it due to poor food hygiene1. Cholera kills an estimated 120,000 people a year2. If the bacteria enter the small intestine, they use their flagella to propel themselves through the lining of the intestinal wall, they produce a toxic protein.
If the physician suspects Heather has bacterial meningitis, they will treat her with antibiotics immediately. Early treatment with antibiotics can reduce the risk of dying dramatically. 3. How do the results obtained from the spinal tap and blood sample support the diagnosis? The spinal tap shows a majority of the leukocytes are neutrophils, which is a sign of meningitis.
(Wikipedia contributors) The virus also remains alive and contagious on exposed surfaces and in the air for up two hours. Measles is highly contagious, over 95 percent of non-immunized children will develop the disease if exposed to the virus. (CDC) Symptoms of the disease first appear 10 to 12 days after initial exposure to the virus. These symptoms include cough, runny nose,fever, malaise, red watery eyes , koplik’s spots and the hallmark skin rash. (CDC) Initially a fever develops, followed by runny nose, cough and water eyes and koplik’s spots(small white spots that develop within the cheek and mouth).
Amoxicillin Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections Diarrhoea, feeling sick and vomiting are the most common side effects. Some people get a fungal infection such as thrush after treatment with antibiotics for a longer period of time. More serious side-effects of antibiotics include kidney problems, blood disorders, increased sensitivity to the sun and deafness. However, these are rare. Antidepressants e.g.

The person who inhales the mucor usually ends up with pneumonia. When mucor invades the alveoli and the spores penetrates into spaces between cells and then it spread to adjacent cells. Spread of fungi in the lungs activates the immune system causes increase in leucocytes of patient and patient body responded to inflammation, fluids leaks from blood vessels to alveoli , leads to pneumonia and it impaired oxygen transportation.The immune’s systems responded resulting in chills, fever, and fatigue which are all common symptoms of
Compare the beneficial and detrimental effects of Escherichia coli on humans. many bacteria are essential in our body to help it finction proberly. Some of these bacteria help digest food and fight off sickness, however certain bacteria invade the bpdy and attack causing infections. Escherichia coli is an evolving cause of foodborne illness. An estimated 73,000 cases of infection and 61 deaths occur in the United States each year.
USA vaccines cover A, C, W-135, and Y but not B (Coffee, 2015). The incubation period of meningococcal disease ranges from 2 to 10 days. The disease is spread through saliva and respiratory droplets. The most common way people transfer the disease is through kissing, sharing drinks, sharing used silverware, sharing lip balm, and close contact with an infected person who may cough or sneeze within three feet of an individual. Meningococcal meningitis is a fast moving, deadly infection that kills 10 to 13% of its victims within a matter of hours or days (CDC, 2015).
It can often prove to be fatal. Cholera is a water-borne disease caused by a bacteria found in tainted water or food. It can kill within weeks through dehydration, but is treatable if caught in time. The spread started 3 years ago in Haiti and entered to Mexico through a hurricane and tropical storm which caused heavy rains, floods, landslides and internal displacement of populations, thus increasing the risk of diarrheal diseases. 171 affected cases, 1 dead were reported in Mexico.
