thirty

rhino
what forms of Corynebacterium diphtheria and Streptococcus pyogenes produces toxins that cause problem

legionellosis
Reyes disease may follow influenza B in children in 2-12 days if
aspirin is given to lower fever it inhibits interferon production and allows the virus to spread 30% mortality rate in children
in the early stages of tuberculosis, the bacteria are release when macrophages died and lyse blank form to wall them off
tubercles
mastoiditis
a possible complication of otitis media because of the proximity to the mastoid process
Legionellosis form pneumonia, discovered following an Legionnaires Convention in Philadelphia 1976 it is spread by a blank

is used to test for TB harmless proteins from the bacteria is injected under the skin and the result is read in 48 hours a positive test is a firm red swelling due to the delayed hypersensitivity
the annual flu shot was blank
inactivated or killed vaccine from 1976 until recently when it was changed to a subunit vaccine .either case you can't get the flu from the flu shot
the common cold is a
upper respiratory tract infection caused by many varieties of rhinoviruses an adenovirus . marked by a sore throat increase nasal secretions sneezing chest congestion and cough IgA munity does increase with age
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a capsulated diplococous responsible for
70 percent of the cases of bacterial pneumonia
consumption
the old name for tuberculosis because of the wasting away of the body to coughing up blood, weight loss and exhaustion
scarlet fever
is a complication of strep throat with a lysogenized Streptococcus pyogenes that makes erythrogenic toxin, strawberry tongue occurs
how many people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis actually develop the disease
1 in 10
more than 30 types of blank can cause severe cold
adenoviruses
an opportunistic fungal disease that is one of the definite AIDS diseases and a main cause of death
Pneumocystis pnuemonia PCP
the common cold is an upper respiratory tract infection caused by many varieties of rhinoviruses and adenovirus is marked by a blank increased nasal secretion sneezing chest congestion and coughing
sore throat
aka San Joaquin Valley fever is caused by inhaled spores of the soil fungus Coccidioides immitis , mild chest pain fever cough and weight loss , recovery likely in a few weeks
Coccidioidom mycosis
mycoplasma pneumonia
causes atypical ot walking pneumonia, low grade fever cough headaches, most common in school and college age groups
viral forms only account for about 1 percent of pneumonia cases but tend to be more deadly
SARS sudden acute respiratory syndrome
carriers of Streptococcus pyogenes include
many people and even some pets can be asymptomatic
since 1850 most influenza pandemic originated in
China
a leading cause of death in stroke patient Street alcoholics and bulimics do to vomit aspiration lung abcesses and permanent damage with the mortality rate of 85 percent
Klebsiella pneumonia
tuberculin skin test is used to test for TB harmless proteins from the bacteria is injected under the skin and result is read in 48 hours a positive test is a firm red swelling due to
delayed hypersensitivity

aspirin should not be given to children with viral infections because
it inhibits interferon production
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is inhaled to the alveoli of the lungs, where it is phagocytized by Blank instead of being destroyed it survives and even multiplies inside these cells

antigenic drift
refers to minor annual variations of the influenza viruses many people having unity due to previous infection with a similar strain
allows Mycobacterium species to be exceptionally Hardy
waxy lipid embedded in the cell wall this also necessitates acid-fast staining for identification
the bacteria blank was erroneously named because it was originally thought to cause influenza
Haemophilus influenza
