of the disease. In addition, the paper describes how the community health nurse will play a role in providing treatment and prevention towards the disease. WHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS? Tuberculosis is most commonly known as TB. It is a bacterial infection that can spread to any organ in a person’s body. It is a disease most commonly found in the lungs. Individuals who are most exposed to this particular disease do not develop the symptoms since the bacteria itself can reside as an inactive form in

The majority of cases of sepsis are due to bacterial infections, some are due to fungal infections, and very few are due to other causes of infection or agents that may cause SIRS. The infectious agents, usually bacteria, begin infecting almost any organ location or implanted device (for example, skin, lung, gastrointestinal tract, surgical site, intravenous catheter, etc.). The infecting agents or their toxins (or both) then spread directly or indirectly into the bloodstream. This allows them to

When you think of pinworms what do you think of? Do you think of small parasites ranging from ¼ inch to ½ an inch in size? How about intestinal worm infections?

1. Explain the three elements necessary to spread infection. The spread of infection requires three elements. The first is; A source of infecting microorganisms: This could be an exogenous infection which arises from microorganisms external to the individual and do not exist as normal flora. They usually have a preferred portal of entry like the gastrointestinal for Salmonella. Another source is endogenous infections which can occur when part of the client’s flora becomes altered

Further efforts; however, have not confirmed rodents as a reservoir. Traces of EBOV were detected in the carcasses of gorillas and chimpanzees during outbreaks in 2001 and 2003, which later became the source of human infections. However, the high lethality from infection in these species makes them unlikely as a natural reservoir. Ebolavirus genomes are approximately 19 kilobase pairs long and contain seven genes in the order 3'-UTR-NP-VP35-VP40-GP-VP30-VP24-L-5'-UTR. The genomes of the five

examination the accompanying discoveries can be made about ebola. Ebola has a place with the infection group of Filoviridae. There are four unique strands of ebola, and just three of these strands causes passing in people. All virons named hemorrhagic are wrapped so covered RNA infections. Hemorrhagic is an inner issue will draining or anomalous stream of blood in the body that is progressing.

chickenpox blisters are highly contagious. If a person touches or breaths in the virus particles it will become infected ("Chickenpox (varicella)," 2011). The first symptoms usually develop 14 – 16 days after the person is exposed to the infection. The infected person will have fever of 38C – 39.4C, feeling tired, decreased appetite, headache, cough and sore throat. Adults and teens can experience severe symptoms while in children’s symptoms are mild. The itchy rash develops 1- 2 days after

(Merriam-Webster, 2015).” Chickenpox is considered a common childhood illness and is usually seen in children that are younger than 10 years of age. “Varicella is an acute infectious disease caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). The recurrent infection (herpes zoster, also known as shingles) has been recognized since ancient times (CDC, 2015).” Chickenpox, varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a DNA type of the herpes virus that is a highly contagious disease. The VZV is spread through direct contact
