When MRSA infects skin, a swollen, red area develops, and it is usually painful. MRSA skin infections may develop pus or weep other fluids. If left untreated, a MRSA skin infection can go progressively deeper into the body, infecting blood and organs. Symptoms of MRSA infection can include chills, cough, chest pain, fever, fatigue, muscle aches, rashes, shortness of breath and a general feeling of malaise. The worst and final symptom of progressed MRSA infection is death Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/health/2012/05/08/mrsa-antibiotic-resistant-bug-that-has-health-officials-worried/#ixzz2UnSQcGzS When MRSA infects skin, a swollen, red area develops, and it is usually painful.
• Ileocolic Cr Ulcerative colitis (UC) • Crohn's disease (CD) The Crohn's Disease and other inflammatory bowel diseases have different causes. Often there is a genetic susceptibility that allows a virus or bacteria to trigger an unnatural immune reaction. This results in the bowels becoming inflamed. Crohn’s disease can look like an autoimmune disease and some researchers think that there may be immune deficiencies at the start of the disease. The inflammation of Crohn’s disease goes deeply into layers of the intestinal wall.
Swelling extends deep into the lining of the affected organ. Swelling can cause pain and can make the intestine empty quit frequently, which results in diarrhea. This disease is very difficult to diagnose. In this disease all the layers of the intestine can be involved, and the normal healthy bowel can be found between the sections of the diseased bowel. (http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/crohns/) The most common symptoms of this disease are abdominal pain, which often occurs in the lower right area, and diarrhea.
Peristalsis will initially continue, which as a result moves the contents of the intestine towards the obstruction; the peristalsis is what initially causes severe pain in the abdomen (Royal Marsden 2011). As the obstruction progresses the intestinal and bowel wall become oedematous and distended, this causes the leaking of proteins, these proteins along with electrolytes accumulate in the peritoneal cavity changing the fluid from clear to
All forms of botulism can be fatal and are considered medical emergencies. Food borne botulism is a public health emergency because eating a contaminated food can poison many people. The classic symptoms of botulism include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. Infants with botulism appear lethargic, feed poorly, are constipated, and have a weak cry and poor muscle tone. These are all symptoms of the muscle paralysis caused by the bacterial toxin.
B. Inflammation of stomach mucosa 2. Recurrent bloody diarrhea may be a symptom of B. Ulcerative Colitis 3. Which disease is characterized by the destruction of intestinal villi, leading to inability to absorb fats and other nutrients? B. Celiac disease/ Malabsorption syndrome 4. Small pouches of the large intestine become inflamed during which disease?
Diseases of the Immune System Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the myelin, which is a sheath that protects your nerves. This damage disrupts the communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Eventually the nerves themselves may deteriorate and this is currently irreversible. The cause of multiple sclerosis is unknown. It's believed to be an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues (mayoclinic.org).
A Small Bowel Obstruction (SBO) is when there is a blockage ranging from total or partial obstruction, and is located in the small intestine. This can occur due to a mechanical issue or a paralytic ileus. Symptoms will start to build in pressure resulting in the patient experiencing worsening and severe pain along with being very uncomfortable. A physician will assess the patient looking for signs leading to the source of the abdominal pain. If a hernia or a distended stomach is identified the physician may suspect an obstruction maybe present.
Personal Impact Paper Living with Crohn’s disease is very challenging. This chronic condition causes inflammation of the bowel and digestive tract, and it can also affect the mouth, esophagus, and the stomach ("Crohn’s Disease Health Center", 2005-2014). Crohn’s can spread deep into surrounding infected tissues, causing agonizing pain, and can even be life-threatening. There are many symptoms for this disease, the most common being diarrhea. Other symptoms include, rectal bleeding, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, fatigue, skin problems, and malnutrition ("Life Expectancy of Crohn's Disease", 1999-2014).
The airways are responsible for carrying harmful bacteria out of the body. Because of the thick mucus, bacteria are trapped and serious infections advance. The primary characters of CF are the thick, sticky mucus and very salty sweat. CF is a terminal chronic disease that touches both males and females through infancy,
