Front 10

Typhoid

Back 10

Malaise, anorexia, headache, followed by onset of fever with stepwise (contrast to rapid rise) increase to ~104 F. Diarrhea is usually absent, but abdominal tenderness and distention present. 10% of untreated cases die of complications resulting from bowel perforation. May cause enlargement of liver and spleen. Osteomyelitis may occur in patients with sickle cell anemia who contract this disease. Many infections may be subclinical

Front 11

Septicemia

Back 11

Salmonellosis with abrupt onset and a rapid-rise fever

Front 12

Dysentery

Back 12

Diarrhea is watery at first, but later contains blood and mucus. Diarrhea is usually self-limiting lasting a few days, and rarely fatal.

Front 13

Typhus

Back 13

Abrupt onset of fever and severe intractable headache. A rash follows 4 to 7 days later. Frequently fatal except in children. A toxin may be responsible. They include severe headache, a sustained high fever, cough, rash, severe muscle pain, chills, falling blood pressure, stupor, sensitivity to light, and delirium. A rash begins on the chest about five days after the fever appears, and spreads to the trunk and extremities but does not reach the palms and soles.

Front 14

Diphtheria

Back 14

Local inflammatory response with fever, cough and sore throat that leads to the formation of a gray pseudomembrane. This disease is also seen as a necrotizing skin infection spread by contact in the tropics.

Front 15

Meningitis (Haemophilus)

Back 15

This disease starts as a nasopharyngitis with otitis media or sinusitis, and may be followed by bacteremia

Front 16

Pertussis

Back 16

This disease begins with mild upper respiratory symptoms (catarrhal stage) followed by acute inflammation of trachae, bronchi and bronchioles with paroxysmal cough (paroxysmal stage)

Front 17

Rocky mountain spotted fever

Back 17

This disease is characterized by a rash that begins on the hands and feet and spreads rapidly to the trunk. Lesions on the palms and soles is characteristic. Mortality rate of 20% in untreated adults

Front 18

Rickettsial pox

Back 18

This disease is systemic (fever, chills, headache rash), and the rash resembles that of chicken pox

Front 19

Gonorrhoeae

Back 19

Urethritis

Front 20

Trachoma

Back 20

Chronic reinfection of the conjunctiva causes an infolding of the eyelashes that results in corneal scarring and blindness

Front 21

Lymphogranuloma venerum

Back 21

This disease is characterized by a painless papule progressing to an ulcerating vesicle that appears two weeks after exposure; four weeks after exposure the disease may progress to a painful suppurating disease of regional lymph nodes

Front 22

Epiglottitis

Back 22

This disease has a sudden onset and may be fatal within 24 hours

Front 23

Meningococcal meningitis

Back 23

This disease is characterized by patechiae followed by large areas of ecchymosis

Front 24

Q fever

Back 24

Interstitial pneumonia, fever, headache, and elevated LFTs. Some patients have a rash but this is not a prominent feature.
