PERCENT CORRECT
◉ (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.
◉ (18) Visceral leishmaniasis. Answer: serious form; fatal if
untreated.
