⩥ (18) Septicemia. Answer: The toxic condition caused by the
multiplication of bacteria in the blood.
⩥ (18) Microbemia. Answer: In infection caused by a microorganism
entering the circulatory system through lymphatic drainage.
⩥ (18) Strep throat. Answer: Causes a rare, inflammatory disease called
rheumatic fever
⩥ (18) Examples of zoonotic diseases. Answer: Brucellosis, undulant
fever, tularemia, rabbit fever
⩥ (18) Rabbit fever caused by which bacteria?. Answer: Francisella
tularensis
⩥ (18) Rocky Mountain spotted fever is caused by bacterium:. Answer:
Rickettsia rickettsia
,⩥ (18) Cytomegalovirus infections are caused by which human herpes
virus?. Answer: Five
⩥ (18) Malaria is caused by a:. Answer: Protozoan
⩥ (18) How is toxoplasmosis categorized?. Answer: Protozoan
⩥ (18) Gangrene. Answer: A complication of necrosis related to wounds
⩥ (18) Zoonotic. Answer: Any infectious disease or infection that can be
transmitted from vertebrate animals to humans
⩥ (18) Bacteremia. Answer: When bacteria are found in the blood
⩥ (18) Sepsis. Answer: Toxic condition caused by the spread of bacteria
or bacterial toxins from the site of infection
⩥ (18) Trypanosoma Cruzi. Answer: Cause of Chagas' disease
⩥ (18) Dry gangrene. Answer: often occurs in persons with impaired
peripheral blood flow
, ⩥ (18) Internal gangrene (white gangrene). Answer: generally contracted
after surgery or trauma
⩥ (18) Wet gangrene. Answer: occurs in organs lined by mucous
membranes such as the mouth, lower intestinal tract, lungs, and cervix
⩥ (18) Gas gangrene. Answer: caused by bacteria that produce gas
within the infected tissue. Toxins produced will cause necrosis; if
untreated the condition is fatal.
⩥ (18) Principles of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF). Answer: group of
febrile illnesses ranging in severity from relatively mild to life-
threatening. Caused by four distinct viral families: Arenaviridae,
Filoviridae, Bunyaviridae, and Flaviviridae. All VHFs characterized by
fever, overall vascular system damage, and bleeding disorders that can
lead to high fever, shock, and death. Although distributed over much of
the world, many VHFs are present in geographically limited areas and
risk of infection is restricted to those areas.
⩥ (18) Systemic Mycosis. Answer: fungal infections capable of affecting
all internal organs. Persons with a competent immune system may be
asymptomatic or show only minor symptoms. Immune-compromised
patients (including persons with HIV, cancer, or neutropenia, organ
transplant recipients, patients recovering from pancreatitis or
splenectomy, those with diabetes, the very old, and the very young) are
at high risk for infection. Treatment may include adjusting immune-
suppressing medications or administering antifungal medications.
