| Epidemiology | cause and distribution of disease in population | morbidity - disease occurence ( incidence- rate of disease or # of cases in time ) ( prevalence- density or total # of cases) | morbidity is derived from ( hospitalization records, clinic visits, patients interviews, reported absences) | Mortality- death | (blank) | (blank) |
| Etiology | cause of a disease | specific agent (virus, bacteria, fungus, rickettsia)) | traumatic event | mechanisms in interaction between organisms and environmentr ( tsunami, bomb) | genetic | multifactorial |
| pathophysiology | pathogenisis ( clinical course of a disease) | morphology ( structural changes in tissue and cells of involved organism) | explains structural and functional changes | (blank) | (blank) | (blank) |
| clinical manifestations | in cludes signs and symptoms of disease | physical signs ( observed by health professional | symptoms- subjective description of patients feelings | (blank) | (blank) | (blank) |

| treatment | intervention aimed at acheiving the optimal outcome of disease | DEFINITIVE THERAPY- designed to achieve cure or remission | PALLIATIVE therapy- designed to alleviate clinical manifestations | EMPIRIC THERAPY- when mechanism is unkown or uncertain, treatment is employed because it works or appears to work | (blank) | (blank) |
| INFECTIOUS DISEASE ETIOLOGY | bacteria | viruses | parasites | fungus | (blank) | (blank) |
| Infectious disease risk factors | decreased immune functions like transplant patients, those who are undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, AIDS | presence of other disorders like CVA, DM, cardiac problems | malnutrition | prematurity in infants | smoking | (blank) |
| infectious disease manifestations | fever | malaise | headache | pains ( muscle or joint) | anorexia | signs and symptoms referable to organ involvement |
| infectious disease diagnostic measures | CBC | ESR | culture and sensitivity test | x ray | (blank) | (blank) |
| infectious disease treatment | antibiotics based on culture and sensitivity test | analgesics | antipyretics | supportive therapy ( cooling blankets) | (blank) | (blank) |
