Occasional vomiting
Rapid dehydration
E Coli
Major cause of septicemia, UTIs, and HAIs
Found in GI tract of all humans
True pathogen
Fungus that can infect both healthy and immunocompromised patient
Fungal allergens
Cause type I hypersensitivity
Most commonly reports STD in the US
Chlaymydia trachomatis
Cause disease by invasion and mechanical destruction of tissue or obstruction of the flow of bodily fluids
Fungal pathogens
Certain Fungi
Certain fungi can grow in arteries and veins leading to occlusion and tissue necrosis due to lack of oxygen
Chlaymydia trachomatis S/S
Discharge
Urethral itching
Burning sensation
Caused by haemophilis ducreyi
Chancroid
Histoplasmosis
Systemic mycoses usually in the lungs
Caused by histoplasmosis capsulatum

Penicillin
What do u draw up first in insulin
Clear to cloudy
How do u properly mix insulin
Never shake. Instead role in between your palms
Why one is not clear
Cloudy insulin has a protein in it
Fungal infections of the dermis and underlying tissues
Subcutaneous mycoses
Insulin is most quickly absorbed where
Arms and abdomen
Recommended sites for insulin shots
Arms
Abdomen
Thigh
Buttocks
Plague
Acute severe zoonosis
Causes by Y pestis and transmitted by fleas or rats
Why should site for insulin shots be rotated
Minimize tissue damage
Aid absorption
Avoid discomfort
Chancroid
Caused by Haemophilus ducreyi
Fungi
Do not secrete toxins that cause damage to the host
Gangrene
Refers to tissue necrosis resulting from local anemia
Ischemia
Results from loss or reduction of blood supply leading to lack of oxygen
R. Rickettsia
Secretes no toxins
Disease is not the product of the hosts immune response
Legionellosis
Legionnaires disease
Pontiac fever
Acute bacterial pneumonia
Athletes feet
Tinea pedis
Insulin is slowly absorbed
Thigh and buttocks
Pinkeye
Bacterial conjunctivitis
Fungal infections of the outermost areas of the human body
Superficial mycoses
Nails
Tinea ungiuim
Head
Tinea capitis
