Infectious Diseases
Inflammation is one of the bodies responses to infection
Immunologist can assist if response is wanting
Colonisation: not disease causing
Immunisation: immune stimulation not disease causing
Infection: disease caused by prion, virus or micro/macroorganisms
- communicable / contagious = passed from person to person
- non-communicable = toxin (food poisoning, tetanus toxin), ?vector
- fulminant (sudden and severe)
Quarantine: for well but exposed to contagion, for period of incubation
Isolation: for infected and contagious
----------
Infection
> Sepsis = SIRS due to infection (doesn't have to include bacteraemia
Inoculation
Contact/transcutaneous/STD
inhalation
aspiration (stuff that should be in GIT)
ingestion
Intravenous
ICD - 10:
Chapter 1: Certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
Post-exposure prophylaxis for each disease
Chemotherapy (antibiotics)
Immunotherapy (Vaccine, Ig)
TB
HIV
Rabies
Hepatitis
Tetanus Ig
Rubella Ig
Isolation
Immunisation
Contraindication

U 80-89: Antibiotic resistance
Biosafety Levels
1 pneumoccocus salmonella
2 hep Lyme influenza
3 anthrax typhus HIV
4 Ebola lassa henta
Pt zero
Fomite (can be inanimate)
Host/vector
Spread
Faecal oral (for things living in stool) = hand hygiene
Droplet (for respiratory) = cover mouth
Insect vector (for blood) = cover up
STD = cover up
A parasite lives in or on another organism (the host), deriving nutrients at the other’s expense.
While all infectious diseases are parasitic, 'parasites' usually infers a eukaryote
endoparasites: helmiths
ectoparasites: lice
Prion:
Viruses
Bacteria (16S rDNA PCR generic test): spirochete, rickettsia
Archae: No pathogens! (Methanobrevibacter smithii is normal gut flora)
Eukaryota (Protista are unicellular eukaryotes)
