Q

Airborne exposure

A

some pathogens travel in small particles that remain contagious in the air, such as chickenpox. Measles can live in the air of a room for 2 hours after the infected person leaves. Breathing in contaminated air by merely entering an examination room or patient area can expose someone to the disease

begins with typical signs of inflammation, erythema, heart arising form the area of infection,pain, and edema. Vesicles or bullae may appear in the infected area. Patient may develop a fever with chills, experience tachycardia, suffer a headache, have hypotention, and at time become mentally confused

infection of the NS caused by the entry of bacteria into the body through a break in the skin

causes death in 11 % of all cases

Q

Viral Hepatitis

A

refers to several different viral infections.

it is the most prevalent cause of malignant neoplsms of the liver

63
Q

Hepatitis Type A

A

a viral infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus.

can travel from person to person by personal contact, however in addition, one can become infected through exposure to contaminated water or ice. Shellfish harvested from sewage-contaminated water as well as fruits, vegetables, and other foods that have been contaminated and eaten uncooked may also carry the hepatitis A virus

64
Q

Hepatitis Type B

A

caused by hep B virus

is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids, such as blood or semen

can also spread by the use of equipment that has been contaminated with the virus,

65
Q

Hepatitis Type C

A

considered the most wide spread chronic blood-borne infection

those most at risk are those using injected drugs

66
Q

Hepatitis Type D

A

hepatitis delta

serious liver disease that requires the HBV virus to replicate itself.

its not often seen in the US

transmitted through direct contact with infecte blood, similar to how hep B is passed from one person to another

currently no vaccine

67
Q

Hepatitis Type E

A

occurrences in the US are rare

known to be common in countries with poor sanitation and contaminated water supplies.

liver disease caused by hep E does not lead to chronic infections

no vaccine currently approved by FDA

68
Q

Influenza

A

can be deadly

caused by influenza A or B virus and can be transmitted by causal contact, such as a handshake or touching a contaminated doorknob

common symptoms include body/muscle aches
chills
cough
fever
headache
sore throat
69
Q

Varicella (chicken pox)

A

generally not serious/most particularly for children

complications from varicella may include pneumonia in adults and bacterial infections of the skin and soft tissue in affected children.

infections can be severe and can lead to septicemia, toxic shock syndrome, necrotizing fasciitis, osteomyelities, bacterialpneumonia, an dseptic arthritis.

may be a connection between varicella and development of herpes zoster, aka, shingles, later in life

70
Q
