Urinary tract infection

is an incurable airway disease of the lungs. Emphysema is characterized by the destruction of the alveoli, its walls and elasticity. It is part of a group of disease that makes up COPD. Constant inflammation that occurs to our lungs will cause infection and existence of bacteria. Phagocyte that works in white blood cells to remove bacteria from our body will go to our lungs when they’re infected. Phagocytes release protein digesting enzyme elastase on their way to reach lungs from capillaries.…

that humans acquire the infection after they are exposed directly to water sources which contain these cercariae (a free swimming…

INTRODUCTION The momentous medical milestones achieved during the earliest era of the 20th century impressed many to believe that the global battle with infectious diseases was largely over, thus the focus to ascertain causes, treatments, prevention, and cures for chronic illnesses (Sattenspiel, 2000). This belief can be justified in Western Europe and the United States, but it was certainly not warranted for most parts of the globe. In contemporary history, the tropical regions have faced…

In an attempt to address emerging infectious communicable diseases of global significance, governments employ differing approaches. A country’s level of response to an outbreak of communicable disease depends largely on the said country’s economic capability. There is a strong correlation between economic wealth attainment and good health outcomes. The emergence of the Ebola virus in West Africa and the ensuring high death toll reaffirm this narrative. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are among…

Shingles is a painful, rash that appears on ones skin. The scientific name for shingles is herpes zoster. Shingles is inside every person who had chickenpox at an earlier age. It can flair up at any moment, usually the more likely the older one gets. Shingles can flair up for a number of reasons such as stress and a weak immune system. Shingles and smallpox were thought to be the same thing until William Heberden discovered a way to distinguish the two. In 1942, shingles was…

against viruses, and prevent diseases from attacking the body in the future. Vaccines are designed to start the production of antibodies and serve to fight against various diseases with immunity. Being created from the disease that is causing the infection, the vaccine acts as an antigen without causing the virus to act on the human body. Vaccines are made in different ways because they’re served for certain types of viruses. For example, killed or inactivated viruses, within this vaccine, it…

Scarlet Fever is an infectious bacterial disease affecting mostly children, and causing fever and a rash. It is caused by streptococci. Scarlet fever is one of those diseases that put fear into everyone's eyes when they heard someone around them had contracted it. The scarlet fever was first discovered in the 1600s by an english physician and researcher named Thomas Sydenham. Thomas had many other contributions like the treatment of smallpox. He was the only one who noticed the scarlet fever as…

people on a daily basis. There are any antiseptics available on the market to help combat the war against pathogenic bacterium. A common type of bacteria includes bacillus subtillis. ?B. subtillis is a bacterium found on the skin, in the digestive tract, in epithelial wounds, on extremities of the human body, in livestock and soil. Because B.subtiliis is ubquituous, it has developed adaptive strategies to subsist in diverse environments...? (www.ncbi.nlm.nig.gov) Bacteria are classified into…

microorganisms or these are the purified products of them. There are four different types of vaccines that were produced by traditional methods. Live attenuated vaccines these vaccines contain live microorganisms and are synthesized against asymptomatic infection e.g. vaccines against mumps and measles. Live attenuated vaccines may cause side effects as compared to the other types of vaccines because these contain live or weekend microorganisms. Inactivated vaccines these are also called killed…

vomiting, and diarrhea (Waseem, 2015). Otitis media with effusion normally occurs after an episode of acute otitis media. Patients may complain of hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, and otalgia. Chronic suppurative otitis media is a persistant infection that results in the tearing or perforation of the eardrum (Waseem, 2015). Adhesive otitis media occurs when the ear drum is sucked into the middle ears space and gets stuck. Being able to diagnosis the different subtypes of otitis media is…
