Upper respiratory tract infection

Usually M.Luteus is found in environments where the temperature is around 37 °C [3]. Also, M. Luteus is aerobic microorganism which favor oxygen environment which can be easily found on the mucosal linings of the upper pharynx, human mouth, and respiratory tract. M. Luteus can grow well in environments with little water or high salt concentrations. On human skin, M.Luteus breaks down compounds in sweat into compounds with bad odor. Also, it can be easily grown on Simmon 's citrate agar…

Abstract This paper investigates the origins, human-to-human transmission and the physiological changes in humans due to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Research shows that these two coronaviruses are both deadly and severe their diseases are. They both have caused assorted respiratory difficulties including pneumonia, organ dysfunction, bronchitis,cough and fever, and deficiency of breath. SARS and MERS are very…

usually results from colonization and infection of the lower urinary tract that if left untreated can ascend through the urethral route and infect the kidneys (Lewis et al., 2014). Chronic pyelonephritis occurs when the kidneys are frequently infected causing the kidneys to become small, atrophic, and loose function from all the scarring (Lewis et al., 2014). Also, with chronic pyelonephritis the extent of the scarring depends on the amount of past infections and how severe…

inflammatory infection of the lungs that primarily affects the microscopic air sacs known as alveoli. Pneumonia is a major health concern in the United States and a key cause of mortality and morbidity. Pneumonia can be acquired in the community, in the hospital environment, by aspiration, or inhalation of infective microorganisms (Cilloniz, Martin-Loeches, Garcia-Vidal, San Jose, and Torres, 2016). The purpose of this paper will be to educate and inform on the pneumonia infection through…

Epiglottitis can block air from going into the windpipe, which can make it hard to breathe. Epiglottitis is an emergency. CAUSES This condition is usually caused by bacteria. The bacteria infect the nose and throat. The result is an upper respiratory tract infection. One type of bacteria that causes epiglottitis is called Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib). Other causes include: • Throat injury. • Throat burn, such as from drinking hot liquid. RISK FACTORS This condition is more…

from well-publicized cruise ship outbreaks although these outbreaks account for less than 1% of all outbreaks worldwide (5). The symptoms and illness associated with Norovirus infections is often referred to as ‘stomach flu’, despite little resemblance to the influenza virus. Noroviruses are responsible for 21 million infections and over 70,000 hospitalizations annually in the USA, and account for 10-15% of severe cases of gastroenteritis in children less than 5 years old (6). In…

A 36 year-old man presented with three weeks history of enlarging left neck swelling, which was mildly painful. There was no prior history of upper respiratory tract infection. Clinical examination revealed a 5 cm x 5 cm cystic mass at the level II of left neck anterior to sternocleidomastoid muscle. It was soft, mobile, and tender on palpation with normal overlying skin. Nasal endoscopy did not detect any abnormality then. The total white cells count was raised at 12,000/mm3. He was diagnosed…

that are used to treat infections which is affected from bacteria, antibiotics play a vital role in treating bacterial infections. Antibiotics do not cure every illness it just cure infections caused by bacteria but it does not treat infections caused by virus ,so before taking any antibiotics doctor’s prescription is very essential ,whether the patient is suffering from viral infection or bacterial infection. Antibiotics that are taken in over dosage during viral infections can worsen the…

Antibiotic resistance allows harmful microbes to exist thereby posing a major threat to many species. These microbes reject the antibiotics used to treat them; this leads to more bacterial infections, increased monetary funds to treat the infections, dangerous side effects from the use of several different antibiotics, and increased morbidity and mortality (“Impacts of Antibiotic Resistance”, 2014). The healthcare system’s approach to this widespread, global issue may be extremely expensive in…

glomeruli play an important role in this process. The more IgA that damages the glomeruli, the more it forces the kidneys to lose its ability to clear waste. IgA is an immunoglobulin or antibody developed by the immune system that helps fight infections within our body. It is produced in the mucous, saliva,…
