Lesson 1 Flashcards
The implantation and successful replication of an organism in the tissue of the host
Infection
An individual who harbors the organism and is capable of transmitting it to a susceptible host without showing manifestations of disease
Carrier
A disease that is easily transmitted from one person to another through direct or indirect means
Contagious disease
An illness caused by an infectious agent or its toxic products that are transmitted through an agency, vecot, etc
Communicable disease
Transmitted not only by ordinary contact but requires inoculation of thr organism through a break on the kin or kucious membrane
Infectious disease
Any person or animal who is in close association with an infected person,animal, or freshly spiled materials
Contact
Destruction of pathogenic microorganism outside the body by directly applying physical or chemical means
Disinfection
Two types of disinfection
Concurrent
Terminal
a method of disinfection done immediately after the infected individual discharges infectious materials/secretions
Concurrent
It is a method of disinfection when the patient is no longer the source of infection
Terminal
A place where an organism lives or where the organism is usually found
Habitat
A person, animal, or plant on which a parasite depends on its survival
Host
The separation from other person of an individual
Isolation
The limitation of freedom of movement if persons or animals
Quarantine
It is composed of one or more species of animal or plant in which an infectious agent lived and multiplies for survival
Reservoir
The act of watching
Surveillance
The infection to a certain body part only
Localized
The infection spread to the entire body partz
Systemic

What are the incidences of infection

Pandemic
Endemic disease
Affects several countries or continents
Pandemic
Diseases that occur occasionally and irregularly with no specific pattern
Sporadic Disease
Those are present in a population or commhnity
Endemic Diaease

Chicken pox
Endemic
The period between the infection of an individual by a pathogen
Incubation period
Early symptoms indicate the onset of disease and the length of communicability
Prodomata
