P&P 2010 infection k
P&P 2010 infection k
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| a microbe must , gain entrance to the body,Establish a colony,Begin reproducing (multiplying) to cause an ? | infection |
| Time between entry into the body and clinical signs of the infection is ? Period | Incubation Period |
| Microbe has reproduced in sufficient quantities to cause adverse effects. | incubation period |
| Length of ? period depends on characteristics of microbe – days → months.and is influenced by -General health of host -infectious dose of microbe | incubation |
| Person senses “something is wrong”, May feel fatigued (malaise), lose appetite, have a headache. Is what period | Prodromal Period |
| Infection develops fully and clinical manifestations reach a peak., Onset may be insidious or sudden & acute, Length depends on Virulence of microbe, Host resistance is what incubation | acute period |
| what ends when: -Host resistance becomes effective, Insufficient nutrients for number of microbes -Wastes from dead organisms & necrotic tissue impedes ability of microbes to reproduce | the infection |
| The incubation period is influenced by | Infectious dose of the organism |
| A person senses “something is wrong” is relevant to the | prodromal period |
| what are released – from decomposition of bacterial cell wall → fever | Endotoxins |
| what are released during cell growth | Exotoxins |
| The toxins damage what ? | human cells |
| what invades host cells, takes over cell metabolism | viruses |
| Microbial damage from bacterial infections release endotoxins which | Result in fever from breakdown of the bacterial cell wall |
| Virus cells attack and enter the host cell to: | Multiply by using materials within the cell for nourishment |
| what period of infection is it if the Infection is contained & subsides, Progressive elimination of the pathogen, Repair of damaged tissue occurs | Recovery/Convalescent Period |
| the total elimination of an infection with no residual symptoms is called | resolution |
| redness, swelling, heat, pain, loss of function,and purulent exudate is the sign of what type of infection | local infection |
| a fever, leukocytosis, malaise, nausea, increased pulse & resps. Indicates what type if infection | systemic infection |
| Identifies the specific organism | culture |
| Indicates how to treat the infection | sensitivity |
| – when some organisms remain in body causing mild symptoms what is it called | Chronic infection |
| – when a small number of bacteria are temporarily in blood – destroyed by phagocytosis what is it called | Bacteremia |
| – when pathogens are reproducing in blood affecting all systems & threatening life its called | Septicemia |
| – when a pathogen is dormant its called | Latent |
| what ensures treatment will be effective | sensitivity test |
| What does uncontrolled sepsis throughout the body, numerous pathogens circulating and reproducing in the blood indicate | septicemia |
