Diagnosing of pneumonia can be difficult because its symptoms are similar to other conditions such as flu, bronchitis, and asthma.Early detection of pneumonia will help patient to overcome this condition.However,late-diagnosed can lead to progress infection and makes it more difficult to treat. Moreover,late-diagnosed can cause death. Diagnosing the stages of pneumonia can be a challenging task for doctors. The first phase of diagnosing pneumonia is medical history.In this case,the doctors…

How is it treated? There are no medications to treat or vaccines to prevent WNV infection. typically recover on their own (10 points) 7. How can this disease be prevented? You can reduce your risk of being infected with WNV by using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing to prevent mosquito bites. use your air conditioning.…

vaginal, anal, or oral sex with someone who has the disease. Fluids found in a herpes sore carry the virus and contact with those fluids can cause infection. You can also get herpes from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore or who may not know he or she is infected because the virus can be released through your skin and spread the infection to your partner. The only way to avoid STDs is to not have vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Most people who have herpes have no or very little…

Ebola is a virus that is very deadly. Four out of five strains can make people sick. While inside of the body it is possible to do the following things: kills cells, full bleeding internally, wrecks the immune system, and harms every organ in the body. It is very infrequent to catch Ebola. The only way that people can get infected with the disease is from direct contact with fluids from those who are already infested with Ebola. Ebola was first recognized in 1976. “The name came from a river…

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) by Zinkernagel and Doherty (1975). LCMV’s natural reservoirs are the common household rodents (Traub, 1936). Household mice have shown to attain persistent asymptomatic LCMV infections (Oldstone and Dixon, 1976). This persistence of a chronic infection is vital to the evolution of the virus. As a result, LCMV has undergone co-evolution by horizontal and vertical transmission (Welsh et al., 2010). LCMV’s genome consists of a…

Introduction: Viral infections can affect many things, including bacteria. When bacteria undergo infections from a virus that virus is called a bacteriophage. After a bacteriophage infects a bacteria it can create two different phases, the lytic or lysogenic cycles. During a lytic stage the bacteriophage causes death to the bacteria. When this happens on an agar plate covered in bacteria it creates a clear spot known as a plaque. Each plaque is created by one virus so from the number of plaques…

Aortic graft infection is rare and carries a poor prognosis. The conventional managements for prosthetic graft infection are surgical debridement, removal of the infected graft, and reconstruction with the new graft prosthesis. However, these approaches are not feasible for some patients with anatomical difficulty of excision or severe comorbid medical illnesses. We report a case of aortic prosthetic graft infection treated successfully with long term antibiotics without surgical intervention. A…

Urosepsis Urosepsis is an infection that has spread to the blood (sepsis) from the urinary tract. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, the tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder (ureters), the bladder, and the tube that passes urine out of the body (urethra). These organs make, store, and pass urine from the body. Urosepsis is a severe illness that can be life-threatening if it is not treated immediately. CAUSES The cause of this condition is a bacterial infection that starts in…

reason that is is the most deadly is because once it is inhaled it can develop with in a week but can take up to two months. When treated for anthrax the survival rate is 55%. Inhalation anthrax is considered to be the most deadly form of anthrax. Infection usually If you do not get treated the rate of survival drops to 10 - 15%. develops within a week after exposure, but it can take up to 2 months. Without treatment, only about 10 - 15% of patients with inhalation anthrax…

First encountered in African monkeys by biomedical scientists in 1967, the Ebola virus, part of the negative-stranded RNA viruses, known as filoviridae, according to the journal of infectious diseases, is the only known virus family in which scientists have profound ignorance . Specifically speaking, scientists are not aware of the tactics active in the nature of the virus’ agents, their pathogenesis, and virology . However, during the 2014 epidemic—which killed more than 9,600 people and caused…
