DISEASE PROCESS Flashcards
. Proposed the germ theory of disease
. Robert Koch
. a bacterium that causes legionnaires disease is called
. legionella pneumophilla
. the capabilty of a microorganism to Cause disease
. Pathogenicity
. The quantity of pathogenecity of a microbe a measure of the ability of the microbe to cause disease
. degree of certain disease or host
. Virulence
. Mode of attachments under adhesins
. Fimbrae ( pilli )
. Capsules ( capsids )
. Envelopes ( spikes )
. Ability of the microorganism to multiply and invade human tissues
. Invasiveness
. Blood inflammation invading of RBC
. Sepsis
. The number of pathogens needed to establish a disease
. Infectious dose
. refers to the ability of a microorganism to produce toxins
. Toxigenicity
. Type of toxins in the digestive area and gastrointestinal tract in an abnormal way
. Through faecal oral
. Enterotoxins
. Undergoes lysis ruptured to exposed toxins on other host
. Endotoxins
. Type of toxins invade the central nervous system
ex. tetanospamin produced by clostridium tetani
. Neurotoxins
. Cause of tetanus
. can be found in soil
. Found in bowel
. Clostridium tetani
. are protein exotoxins that kills by enzymatic attack blocking essential cellullar metabolism
. Cytotoxin
. cause of lysisof red blood cell suh as human erythrocytes
. Hemolysins
. A condition Caused by amongst boys
. Hemophilia
. Steps of progression pattern
. Contamination
. Colonization
. Infection
. simply indicates presence of microoragnism not usually present in the body
. Contamination
. if the microorganism present in the body survive begin to grow at the site of contamination.
. Colonization
. Determined by signs and symptoms
. multiplication of microorganisms
. Infection
. Malformation of the bones
. Rickets
. are infectious that do not produce symptoms in the host.
. Subclinical disease
. Vit D
. Vit C
. Lack of vitamins / nutritions
. Nutritional deficiency
. Affected by at birth or a abnormalities
. Congenital Disease
. Genetic abnormalism
. Inherited disease
. Accumulation of lipids in the brain mentally
. Tay Sachs
. such as form of diabetes mellitus ,also be inherited and result in abnormalities in the bodys
biochemistry
. Metabolic disease
. resulting from the wearing down part of the body and result functional weight loss
. Degenerative disease
. Disease in the immune system
. Autoimmune disease
Eg . Lupus
. Unknown disease need for further research
. Primarily affects the lungs and kidney
. Idiophatic disease
. Stages of disease
. Incubation
. Prodormal
. Clinical stage
. Convalescent period
. Recovery
. Immobility of certain parts of the body
. Sequelae
. In stages of disease it is where the disease has been enter
. Incubation
. First on set of signs and symptoms
. Prodormal
. Period of illness happens ( identified the certain disease
. Clinical stage
. Certain diseases will subside / decline
. Convalescent period
. Modes of transmission
. Genitourinary tract
. Wound
. Respiratory
. Bites
. Direct
. Indirect
. Nosocomial
. Parenteral
. Mode of transmission through skin, body fluids
. Direct
. Mode of transmission through zoonotic animals
. Bites
. Mode of transmission through fomites
. Indirect
. Mode of transmission through in the hospital
. Nosocomial
. Mode of transmission from punctures ,incision caused
. Parenteral
. factors that affect the occurence of disease , making an individual or population more susceptible to a certain disease
. predisposing factor
. it is a state in which a body does not function normally
. disease condition
. the binding of iron specific chemicals produced by the body
. lactoferrin
. transferrin
. an individual whose defenses are weakened bt malnutrition disease chemotherapy or burns, slin or
mucuos membranes .
. compromised host
. a condition occurs when only the potential of the microorganism to disrupt normal functions is fully
expressed
. disease
. disease for which there is no known cause
. idiophatic
. combination of signs and symptoms that occur together
. disease syndrome
. a source of an infectious agent which may be air , water , soil, animals , or people
. resevoir
. infected individual that do not develops diesease symptoms they are important resevoirs or infectious agent
. carrier
. it is the site where the pathogen enters the body
. portal pf entry
. it is the route via which pathogens leave the body
. portal of exit
. a study of of the factors and mechanisms that govern the spread diesease within a population
. epidemiologist
. a disease in which number of cases in area remains constant
. endemic disease
. prevents phagocytosis by white blood cells or at least makes such action difficult
. capsule or slime layer
.
