In cutaneous anthrax there is a 1 to 7 day of incubation period, a small papule appears at the site of inoculation. A papule is a small solid pimple or swelling that may form a rash and may typically be inflamed. It develops into a vesicle filled with clear fluid. Subsequently, a small ring surrounding of similar vesicles develops and fuses. 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.
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.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive gene disorder. This disease affects the lungs most significantly. It also affects the pancreas, liver, and intestines, and various organs. This disease is characterized by the buildup of thick, sticky mucus that can damage vital organs. This abnormal mucus can clog the airways which will lead to severe problems with breathing and bacterial infections in the lungs.

The three types of plague are bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. Bubonic plague is the most common of the three types and is named after swollen lymph nodes called buboes. Buboes occur when the bacteria are localized in the lymph node and rapid replication occurs. Buboes associated with Bubonic Plague are located in the armpit, neck or the groin area. 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.
Multiple Sclerosis is provoked by damage to the myelin sheath which is the protective covering that surrounds the nerve cells. When the sheath is damaged the nerve impulses may slow down or even stop. Inflammation is what causes the nerve damage. When the nervous system is attacked by its own immune cells, inflammation occurs. Repeated inflammation can occur along any area of the brain, spinal cord, or the optic nerve (PubMed Health 1747) (PubMed Health 1463).
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.
STAGE 3 The sore worsens and extends beneath the skin surface, forming a small crater. There may be no pain at this stage due to nerve damage. The risk of tissue death and infection are high. STAGE 4 Pressure sores progress, with extensive damage to deeper tissues (muscles, tendons and bones). Serious complications, such as osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) or sepsis (infection carried through the blood) can occur.
