Front 7

chain of infection

Back 7

infectious agent; reservoir host; portal of exit; mode of transmission; portal of entry; susceptible host

Front 8

infectious agent

Back 8

first link to the chain of infection; can be a virus,bacteria,protozoa and helminth,fungi, and rickettsia

Front 9

reservoir host

Back 9

second link; May be people,insects,animals,water,food,or contaminated instruments and equipment. pathogens must gain entrance or they will die.

Front 10

portal of exit

Back 10

third link; how the pathogen escapes the reservoir host. exits include the mouth,nose,eyes,ears,intestines,urinary tract,reproductive tract and open wounds

Front 11

mode of transmission

Back 11

fourth link; can be direct or indirect. direct occurs from contact with an infectious person or discharges from an infectious substance. indirect occurs from air borne droplets; vectors that harbor pathogens

Front 12

portal of entry

Back 12

fifth link; how the transmitted pathogen gains entry into a new host. entry could be mouth,nose,eyes,ears,intestines,urinary tract, reproductive tract or open wounds.

Front 13

susceptible host

Back 13

sixth link; if a host is susceptible the organism multiplies. factors include the location of entry,dose of organisms,individuals state of health. if conditions are right the organism reaches infectious levels and starts the chain of infection again.

Front 14

nososcomial

Back 14

infections that are acquire in a healthcare setting

Front 15

CDC recommendations

Back 15

universal precautions; all blood and certain body fluids must be treated as if known to be infectious for blood borne pathogens.

Front 24

humoral immunity

Back 24

the immune system responds by producing antibodies specifically designed to combat the presence of a foreign substance, or antigen; this occurs because of the body's B cells

Front 25

cell mediated immunity

Back 25

immune system also reacts at the cellular level with t-cell activity; causing the destruction of pathogenic cells at the site of invasion. ex: phagocytosis
