(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). After several days the rash develops ,initially to the head and upper neck, then spreads to the lower body. The rash may last up to 14 days. (WHO) Measles related deaths are most likely to occur to those individuals who are malnourished or have weakened immune systems due to conditions such as HIV and AIDS. Complications of the disease include encephalitis, blindness and pneumonia.
This fusion turns into a large lesion causing erythema, which is superficial reddening of the skin, pruritis a severe itching of the skin and non pitting edema ( swelling in certain parts of the body) pain is rarely experienced. In the long run this forms into a deep crater with a crusted, blue-black central eschar. If this goes untreated symptoms remain for 2 weeks; the eschar will then loosen and fall off, granulation tissue will then form a scar. Systemic accompanying symptoms include low-grade fever, malaise, and occasionally lynphadenopathy, that is a disease that affects the lymph nodes. Inhaled anthrax spores produce nonspecific symptoms after about 1- to 5-day incubation period.
Interventions such as chest Physiotherapy, assisted cough, and nocturnal noninvasive ventilation may be considered. However these interventions will only increase the quality of life with no effect on survival for patients with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis or SMA type I. Some of the medical complications associated with these treatments include pulmonary infections, spinal deformities and respiratory failure. Prognosis The prognosis for children with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis is very poor. Median survival is about 6 months and 95% of children with the disease have died by the age of 18 months.
Some of the more common complications associated with the disease are bowel obstruction, ulcers, and fistulas. Bowel obstruction is the most common and results from the thickening of the intestinal wall with swelling and scar tissue, narrowing the passage. The narrowing of the intestines blocks flow of digested material through the affected area. In severe conditions surgery is needed to remove the dead and damaged tissue of the bowel. Chronic inflammation that accompanies this disease can lead to the formation of ulcers.
See GP if symptoms last longer a week or worsen. | Tonsillitis | Inflammation of the tonsils by infection, very sore throat, fever, earache, enlarged red tonsils with white spots on them. | See GP and treat with antibiotics. | Diarrhoea and vomiting | Being sick and diarrhoea often, generally feeling unwell. | Until diarrhoea and vomiting has settled and for 24 hours after.
Systemic Lupus Erythematousus (SLE) it’s the most serious form of lupus. 15% of people who have it first start feeling sick when they are teens. Systemic Erythematousus can affect the skin, joints, and tendons. It may also affect organs like the brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys. Coetaneous (skin) Lupus is a skin disease that causes a rash on the face, neck, scalp, and ears.
Any of the S&S associated with asthma may occur with one illness or even several separate illnesses, but not recur over a longer period. For example one episode of bronchitis may mimic asthma, and you could have more than one case of bronchitis in a year if the patient is severely sick. So a diagnosis of asthma can only be made if the S&S are recurrent over a long period of time. Classic signs of asthma (coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath) can all be symptoms of other illness's. So just hearing a wheeze or cough does not definitely mean asthma and to make it even more confusing not all asthmatics wheeze.
The symptom that has traditionally been associated with lupus has been the butterfly-shaped rash that appears across the patient’s cheeks, along with mouth ulcers and hair loss[5]. One of the reasons that lupus is so often misdiagnosed is that its symptoms are much like the symptoms of many other diseases. For example, lupus often mimics arthritis with joint pain, redness, and swelling. The warring antigens, anitbodies, and resulting stress on systems can often produce an abnormal urinalysis, leading to a misdiagnosis of kidney disease. If the lungs, heart, or abdominal organs are affected, then pleurisy, pericarditis, and / or peritonitis can appear and suggest lung, heart, or abdominal diseases.
The tick exposure has not been recognized. The outbreak might be warm or itch. The rash—erythema migrans (EM)-generally grows within 3-30 days and usually begins round, red patch that expand. About 75% of patients with Lyme disease develop EM. Clearing may take place from the center out, leaving a bull's-eye effect; in some cases, the center gets redder instead of clearing.
The flu begins abruptly, causing high fevers, generally 102 -106F, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, muscle aches and stiffness, chills, fatigue, malaise, sweating, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, lack of appetite, and worsening of other illnesses such as heart failure or asthma. The fever will typically last up to five days. General body symptoms such as body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sweating should decrease at about the third day and respiratory symptoms should then begin to set in. The flu virus can emerge anywhere in the respiratory system, producing the indications of a cold, croup, sore throat, bronchitis, ear infections, or pneumonia, these symptoms should start to diminish at around four to seven days. The tiredness and coughing can lasts for weeks after the flu is
