Chlamydia infection

Remote and Regional Populations Synopsis • Populations in regional and remote areas have less access to medical care as opposed to those living in urban areas. • Availability of specialist STI services is less likely for regional and remote areas and waiting times for appointments with GPs may be considerable. • Persons in regional and remote areas may be reluctant to identify as Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) and LGBTI communities may be less evident in these areas. •…

Homework #2 STD’S or sexual transmitted dieases also known as sexual transmitted infections are any diseases characteristically transmitted sexually (Mayo clinic). An example of an STD is Herpes and gonorrhea. The diseases are commonly spread through unprotected sex. HIV or human immunodeficiency disorder is another STD with no cure. HIV is an disease that affects the T-cells in the body which can eventually cause aids, the immune system fails causing the body to shut down (Mayo…

The patient does not have preauricular lymphadenopathy, any mucoid discharges, or any recent illnesses or upper respiratory infection typically associated with viral causes. This makes viral conjunctivitis an unlikely diagnosis. The patient presents to the clinic in October and both bacterial and allergic conjunctivitis can occur in the fall. The patient complaints of “gritty”…

It does this by binding to the bacterial ribosome’s 50S subunit, which in turn leads to the bacteria being limited and unable to grow and multiply. As a result, the bacteria die. The microbes affected by Azithromycin are generally bacteria like: Chlamydia pneumonia, Moraxella catarrhalis, Streptococcus pyogenes and many others On July 2nd, Justin returned to the doctor with both his mother and sister. All three patients found it painful to take a deep…

Acute bronchitis is the sudden development of inflammation of the trachea and major bronchi. It is caused by mainly by viral and sometimes bacterial infection. However, inhaling substances that irritate the lungs, such as tobacco smoke, and dust can cause it. The main symptoms for a 55-year old include a hacking cough that last for up to three weeks with or without phlegm, and sometimes dyspnea and wheezing. The typical community acquired pathogens (CAP) involved with acute bronchitis are…

As a health science major or even someone adequately informed on healthcare knowledge knows which populations are more susceptible to infections. Those populations being children, elderly, and immune deficient or compromised populations. While the immune comprised are just how their title makes them sound, their immune systems do not function properly whether it is due to genetics or simply something they are going through health wise. Children however have not yet had the chance to build up…

responsible for HAP/VAP, such as the Acinetobacter species. This pathogen is responsible for a relatively small percentage of cases of HAP and VAP but when an infection of a member of the Acinetobacter spp. occurs it can present major problems mainly due to the increase of multidrug resistance in clinical environments. (Hartzell et al, 2007) An infection of this species can be confirmed using PCR as a secondary…

pneumonia, urinary tract infections, blood stream infection, surgical site infections(22). Leading cause of respiratory morbidity and mortility in patients with cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Monomeric flagellin of flagella helps in adhesion followed by internalization. Flagella has added structural feature of being glycosylated. Helicobacter pyroli: gram negative, micro aerophillic, spiral shaped bacteria, colonizes human stomach. It is cause of common infections,…

terms of production loss but also in treatment expense. Control programs aim to prevent the incidence of the disease and minimize production loss while treating the infection as effectively and economically as possible. Effective control programs are generally two pronged:  Targeting the causative pathogen for individual infections (rather than following a blanket treatment approach) aims to speed recovery and decrease the risk of reinfection.  Targeting the infected cow’s lactation point to…

symptoms. The main test they use is the polymerase chain reaction, or “a chemical reaction that amplifies pieces of a virus’s genes floating in blood by more than a millionfold” (Mukherjee). The polymerase chain reaction helps the doctors identify infections earlier than slower, more inefficient testing methods. Once the blood is taken, it is then transported to a lab and the results are back within a few hours. This test could not only help fight the spread of Ebola, but also create jobs for…
