Borrelia

Lyme disease is something that can affect every single person. Lyme Disease is an infection caused when an infected deer tick of the “Ixodes genus” breed bites a person and transfers the bacteria named “borrelia” directly into the human. It is the borrelia type bacteria that cause the allergic reaction to humans. Upon contracting the disease it can cause numerous health hazards for humans. The typical symptoms upon contracting the disease include fever, fatigue, and headache. There is also a…

Geographic Expansion of Lyme Disease 2015 In August 2015, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published volume 21-8 of its journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases (EIFD) on www.nc.cdc.gov. It contained a study by Dr. Kugeler, “an epidemiologist with the Division of Vector-Borne Diseases, Bacterial Diseases Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Fort Collins, Colorado, USA.” (Dr. Kugeler, CDC, 2015) In this study titled, “Geographic Distribution and Expansion of…

The patient is suffering from Bell’s Palsy, which is flaccid paralysis only on one side of the face. Flaccid paralysis is when a muscle is paralyzed or weakened because the muscles cannot contract. And this is because of never damage. Bell’s Palsy got the name from Dr. Charles Bell in 1821. Because Bell’s palsy come without any warning, people think that they have brain tumor. People that have diabetes and pregnant women are more at risk than other people. This disease is common for people in…

all studies, baseline characteristics have to be accounted for to confirm if they best match the patient’s demographics. Also, a good study for chronic lyme disease would be able to confirm if certain medication is better against certain strains of Borrelia, and if it is applicable to the US population of lyme disease. Lastly, a patient’s personal considerations have to be taken into effect if drugs and compliance is applicable for maximum effectiveness and risks/benefits are accounted…

Lyme disease can range from being debilitating to consuming your entire life. Scientists had very little research to find why the disease persists so long in the body until researchers at the University of Toronto investigated that the bacterium Borrelia Burgdorferi is the problem. It actually attaches to the inner surface of the organisms’ blood vessels. This allowed the bacteria to reach vulnerable tissues or hiding places inside the body. This is all made possible due to the adhesive protein…

the epidermis and cause painful rashes that appear as clusters of fluid-filled blisters. Although blisters may occur anywhere on the body, they appear commonly on the waist, forehead and around the eyes. Lyme disease: a skin infection caused by Borrelia burgdorfei, a Gram negative bacteria. This bacteria’s chromosome is linear and present in multiple copies. It is transmitted to human through the bite of an infected tick. Skin rash which may occur at early stage of the infection, has a circular…

shigallae, Haemophilus influenza, Pasteuerella, Neisseria meningitides, Vibro cholera, Bordetella pertussis, Bacillus anthracis, Corynebacterium diptheriae, Streptococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Borrelia and Leptospira interrogans (L. icterohemorrhagicae). Despite having the combination of bacitracin with neomycin provide a broad-spectrum effect, they do not cover Nocardia, Pseudomonas, fungi and viruses. Overall, tissue tolerance of…

absence of previous herpetic lesions, and meningeal symptoms are noted in most pediatric Lyme disease patients with facial palsy. With meningitis, symptoms of headache, neck pain or stiffness, and photophobia are seen 2–10 weeks after infection. Borrelia encephalopathy most commonly manifests as a mild confusional state accompanied by disturbances in memory, concentration, mood, sleep, personality, and/or language occurring months to years after the infection. Depression and irritability are…

Poverty is one of the major issues that the world is facing, especially for 3rd world countries. It is stated in the article “Poverty” from the website Wikipedia that it is the inability to satisfy one’s basic needs and wants due to the lack of income to buy services or the lack of ability to access services. This would not be such an issue if the people do not let its causes to bring out the possibilities its causes has. These causes in the first place are just basic problems. Like, there are…

and less commonly through human saliva. It has a negative stranded RNA genome. Rabies virus infects the whole central nervous system. It usually lasts 1-3 months. Lyme disease is an example of a bacterial disease. This is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It is transmitted by the bite or infection of blacklegged ticks known as deer ticks. They are about the size of a poppy seed and because they are so tiny their bite is painless, most people don’t even realized they have been bit.…
