many ways in which they can help the patient. Doctors can only help the patient alleviate their symptoms by giving them heating pads for muscle cramps, request physical therapy and give them antibiotics for urinary tract infections. Antibiotics cannot be used to kill this infection because Poliomyelitis is caused by the poliovirus, not by a bacteria. Although symptoms of polio may only last up to 72 hours, the after effects of polio are long…
alveolar of the lungs can grow in large numbers then infect and grow pneumocytes. Pneumocytes could be either type I, thin squamous cells or type II, larger cuboidal cells both stopping the exchange of air by forming a barrier. In the early stages of infection…
detected abnormalities of esophageal motility. Abdominal pain, sometimes accompanied by nausea and vomiting has been reported in up to 40% of SLE patients and can be due to SLE-related causes, medication side effects, and non–SLE-related causes such as infection. (33) Pancreatitis due to SLE is uncommon and usually is associated with active SLE in other organs. Mesenteric vasculitis is a very rare manifestation of SLE. Liver test abnormalities have been described in up to 60% of SLE…
Respiratory infections are a major global health burden. The emergence and spread of drug-resistant respiratory tract pathogens, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has aggravated the current situation. High dose delivery of drugs to the lung using a dry powder inhaler (DPI) is an emerging approach to combat drug-resistant local infections. To achieve high dose delivery, highly aerosolizable powders are required. We hypothesized that co-spray-drying kanamycin, a hydrophilic hygroscopic…
In uncomplicated infection recovery begins soon after the appearance of the rash. However, complications will occur in up to 40% of all patients, the risk of a complication being higher for the very young or for adults and in undernutrition. Mortality is highest in infants and younger children. Complications most commonly are respiratory, and pneumonia causes most measles-associated deaths. The pneumonia risk is higher with immune suppression, which can be induced systemically by the virus…

Faecal contamination of water is routinely detected by microbiological analysis. The approach that has been adopted is to analyses for indicator organisms that inhabit the gut in large numbers and are excreted in human faeces. The presence of these indicator organisms in water is evidence of faecal contamination and therefore, of a risk that pathogens are present. If indicator organisms are present in large numbers, the contamination is considered to be recent and/or severe. Total coliforms,…

We know this bacterium as the cause of Typhoid. In the world of microbiology, it is known to be gram negative, it does not hold the violet dye in testing. It is both aerobic and anaerobic. In other words, it is a facultative anaerobe. It…
