So, the disease classify as a sexually transmitted disease. The partner contact body fluid during sex from infected individual such as kiss with open sores or lesions. Clinical features The infected area such as genital or anal area occur the sensation of burning or tingling.…

These signs consist of; vomiting, cold, clammy skin, and the inability to…
Some of the diseases they brought include smallpox, measles chicken pox and influenza. Through direct contact with the explorers, the diseases were transmitted from the Europeans to the Indians who later transmitted the diseases to one another as they traded. The impact of the contact with the Europeans was so bad that all members of a particular village died (Joe,…
One of the more prominent diseases were smallpox brought over from Europe. For years the Europeans had been domesticating pigs, horses, sheep and cattle, [infecting] themselves with a wide array of germs¨ (Document 6). Their immune systems were build up leaving them less susceptible to harmful diseases. The Indians had spent thousands of years in insolation, not having any contact with germs that weren't there own. With the arriving of the europeans this brought mass amount of diseases that the indian immune system could not handle, for example smallpox.…
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus For this assignment I have been asked to choose a pathogen, describe it and explain how the chain of infection can be broken. I have chosen Meticillen Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. As a support worker in theatres MRSA can cause significant problems for us and for patients, therefore we have to have each patient screened before we operate and we have certain standard precautions we need to follow before, during and after surgery. Staphylococcus Aureus is a very common bacteria. Meticillen resistant staphylococcus aureus is a strain of this bacteria that is resistant to some antibiotics that are commonly used to treat staphylococcal infections.…
As societies develop to be more connected and trades become easier and more commonplace due to globalization, the risk of transmitting infectious diseases trouble many nations as a single disease can wipe out a settlement with a long history like the demise of the New England Native American population from 1616 to…
That means that they not only didn’t know what the disease was, they also hardly had anybody who could possibly figure out a treatment for the disease. A lot of the people coming to the settlement were actually quite poor, which means they were most likely not accustomed to hygiene. Disease would be spreading like wildfire, as it did back then. Other diseases could have been gained from plants and animals. Many deadly plants were not noticed until after it was too late, take the Datura for instance.…
The main focus here are the Cherokee and their journey through The Trail of Tears. The Cherokee Natives were divided and separated from their families and forced to march. Many Native Americans died of whooping cough which is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection which causes a fever, runny nose, and sometimes vomiting (Mayo Clinic) , typhus which is a bacteria transferred from vectors such as fleas, ticks, lice and mites (Google), dysentery which is an infection of the intestines which causes severe diarrhea (Google) , cholera which is a bacterial disease causing severe diarrhea and dehydration that’s spread in water which is often fatal (WebMD), and starvation which means going hungry and without food which can also be fatal. By the Native Americans falling sick or dying during the journey west, disease keeps spreading as they watch their loved ones die of diseases and conditions not very many of the Native American population will make it west but the ones who do are strong but weak. By 1840 tens of thousands of Native Americans were driven off of the land in which they…
Group A Streptococcus is a bacterium that can cause a wide range of infections. People may also carry group A streptococci in the throat or on the skin and have no symptoms of illness. Most group A strep infections are relatively mild illnesses such as strep throat, or impetigo. Occasionally these bacteria can cause severe and even life-threatening diseases.…
The Europeans and natives also exchanged diseases. The Native Americans’ isolation from the other side of the Atlantic made them highly susceptible to disease from the Asian and African continents that Europeans already built up an immunity to, so when the explorers made contact with the natives, they transferred diseases like small pox, malaria, yellow fever, bubonic plague and many more, which caused epidemics amongst the native peoples. Similarly, the natives had diseases that the other side of the Atlantic had never been exposed to. The most prominent disease that the sailors took back with them was syphilis, an STD, and it’s thought that they could have even brought back…
MRSA is a bacterial infection, caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. There are two types of infection: hospital-acquired MRSA and community-acquired MRSA. MRSA, especially community-acquired MRSA, is linked to more severe illness than methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. The National Institute of Health, America, states that hospital-acquired MRSA is spread due to the hospital environment, whereas community-acquired MRSA is due to close skin contact between people. Those who contract hospital-acquired MRSA are often predisposed to it due to their illness, however, community-acquired MRSA can be contracted in perfectly healthy individuals.…
Tape 1/Volume 1A 1) Yalom practices with an assumption that an “interpersonal pathology” underlies clients’ presenting symptoms. Discuss what “interpersonal pathology” is and comment on implications this assumption has for group therapist interventions. Please use examples from the video.…
An infectious disease is pathogenic microorganisms, like bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi that cause diseases by spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another. One infectious disease is Clostridium difficile, a nasty bacterium that affects the digestive system, specifically the colon. A disease that can start of pretty mild and lead to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. Clostridium difficile is a bacterial infection in the digestive system which has the same symptoms as colitis (inflammation of the colon). C. difficile is bacillus shaped, gram-stained, an endospore former and thrives off in the absence of oxygen.…
Your hands can be the most potentially dangerous serving equipment you use. Scratching your scalp, running your fingers through your hair, or touching a pimple can cause the transmission of pathogenic micro-organisms in a food service setting. Follow these steps to wash your hands: 1.3 Preventative measures against food contamination Many people get sick each year from the food they eat. They may have diarrhoea, vomiting, an upset stomach, fever, or cramps.…
