| Pertussis or (Whooping cough) is caused by what bacteria? | Bordetella pertussis |
| Occurs when the amount of water leaving the body is greater than the amount being taken in. | Dehydration |
| An action taken in advance to protect against possible danger, failure, or injury | Precaution |
| The normal process of reacting to a loss. The loss may be physical (such as a death), social (such as divorce), or occupational (such as a job) | Grief |
| Organism may be transmitted directly through person-to person contact or indirectly though an animate or inanimate vehicle of transmission | Transmission |
| Occurs when there is actual physical contact between the source/ the victim (sexual, fecal-oral, mucous droplet transmission) | Direct contact |
| The organism survive outside the human on or in animate or inanimate vehicle | Indirect transmission |
| Examples of animate vehicles: | Animals, vectors |
| Examples of inanimate vehicles: | Air, food, water, milk, soil, fomites, or biologic materials. |
| Whats is called when a inanimate vehicle has the potential of infecting many persons | Common vehicle |
| Single-celled organisms that use the human body as a source for nutrients/environment for growth | Bacteria |
| Spiral-shaped bacteria with great motility that live primarily as extracellular pathogens, rarely growing within a host cell | Spirochetes |
| Tiny intracellular organisms, that totally depend upon the living host for survival/necessary materials to replicate | Viruses |
| Similar to gram-negative bacteria that can only reproduce within certain susceptible cells | Ricketssiae |
| Ricketssiae are transmitted to humans by? | arthropod vectors, through bites or feces of ticks, lice, or fleas |
| The most common bacteria STD in the U.S. | Chlamydial |
| Chlamydial infection leads to ? | pelvic inflammatory disease,infertility,ectopic pregnancy, chronic pelvic pain |
| Occur primarily as parasites of the gastrointestinal/genitourinary systems/may result in pneumonia as an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised pts | Protozoa |
| Transmitted through fecal-oral route | Amoeba |
| Early systems of Amoeba? | diarrhea with mucous/blood,flatulence,alternating with constipation |
| Later systems of Amoeba? | lesions of ulcerative colitis,secondary infection in other parts of the body,amebic liver abscess |
| Most common protozoan intestinal disease in the U.S./is also transmitted through fecal-oral route. | Giardiasis |
| Symptoms of Giardiasis? | epigastric pain/nausea |
| Caused by a particular gebus of protozoa called plasmodium/transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquitoes | Malaria |
| Symptoms of Malaria? | headache,anorexia,N/V,photophobia, followed by chills, high fever/muscle pain |
| Acquired through ingestion of cysts from cat feces, by ingesting uncooked meat, or unpasteurized dairy prod. or blood transfusion | Toxoplasmosis |
| Symptoms of Toxoplasmosis? | chills fever, headache,lymphadenitis, extreme fatigue |
| Results from a protozoan that produces cysts in the lungs of several animal species/ is increasingly common in immunocompromised individuals | Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia |
| Complex organisms that gain intohumans primarily through ingestion of fertilized eggs or penetration of larvae through skin or mucous membranes | Helminths(worms) |
| Helminths are classified as what? | Cestodes(tapeworms) Nematodes(roundworms) Trematodes(flukes) |
| What is the chain of transmission? | Agent, reservoir, portal of exit, transmission,modes of entry,susceptible host |
| They bind with cell surface antigens on infected or foreign cells/then either destroy the cell membrane or release cytotoxic substances into the cell | Killer T cells |
| A multisystem,multistage, inflammatory disease caused by a spirochete that is transmitted by the bite of a tick | Lyme disease |
| What angent causes lyme disease? | Spirochte Borrelia burgdorferi |
| Measles(Rubeola) | |
| 5 white blood cells | basophils,lymphocytes,eosinophils, monocytes,neturophil |
