What 2 ways we fight infection?
- ) Natural Immunity
2. ) passive (acquired) immunity
immunity
The body’s ability to destroy infectious agents that enter it
A symptomatic carrier
Carries disease producing bacteria or viruses with no recognizable symptoms
What type of infection reaches the whole body
General infection
Occurs when circulatory system carries bacteria and toxins to all parts of the body
What type of infection has small pus-filled lesions
Local infection
In a small, confined area pus-filled boil, pimple or inflammation
What are 2 classes of infection
- ) Local Infection = little area
2. ) General Infection = giant area
Tubercilosis
Contagious and potentially fatal infection caused by airborne bacteria affecting the lungs, lymph and organs
What type of infection interferes with the body’s normal state?
INFECTIOUS DISEASE
Caused by pathogenic bacteria or viruses that interfere with the body’s normal state.
Transferred by infected people through bodily fluids or contact
Aids, Hep B, Herpes, measles and mumps
What type of infection is caused by casual contact?
CONTAGIOUS INFECTIONS
AKA communicible diseases
Caused by airborne pathogens and casual contact
( chicken pox, common cold, herpes, influenza, measles and tuberculosis)
Blood borne pathogens
Includes HIV and HBV
Transmitted through blood and body fluids that cause infectious diseases
What microorganism causes infections?
PATHOGENS
Micro organisms that cause infection.
( Viruses, Bacteria, Protozoa, and Fungi)
Infection
Growth of a parasitic organism
What causes ringworm and scabies?
EXTERNAL PARASITES
Organisms that grow and feed on others.
Head lice= pediculosis capitis
Itch mites= scabies
{ parasite animals}
Ringworm= tinea capitis
Honey comb ringworm= favus
Nail fungus { parasite plants, fungus & molds}
What virus causes the body’s immune system to break down?
ACQUIRED IMMUNODEFICIENCY
SYNDROME (AIDS)
Highly infectious disease caused by HIV. Interference with the body’s natural immune system and causes it to break
Spread by blood or bodily fluids
( blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk)
What disease affects the liver
HEPATITIS B VIRUS
Highly infectious disease affecting the liver
What stage does bacteria create a spore that is resistant to disinfectants?
INACTIVE STAGE
Unfavorable conditions cells die or become inactive. Causes spores that are resistant to disinfectants cold or heat
What are the 2 growth cycles of bacteria
- ) Active= reproduce and grow rapidly
2. ) Inactive= Spore forming stage
Where does bacteria strive?
Dirty, damp, or dirty areas where food source is available
