Pathogenesis The development of the disease or the sequence
of events involved in the tissue changes related to
the specific disease process.
Onset sudden OR acute- An acute disease indicates a
short-term illness that develops quickly with
marked signs such as high fever or severe pain—for
example, acute appendicitis; onset may be
insidious, best described as a gradual progression
with only vague or very mild signs.
Chronic often a milder condition developing gradually, such
as rheumatoid arthritis, but it persists for a long
time and usually causes more permanent tissue
damage. Often a chronic disease is marked by
intermittent acute episodes.
Subclinical (stage/phase) in which pathologic changes occur but the patient
exhibits no obvious manifestations, perhaps
because of the great reserve capacity of some
organs.
,Latent stage "silent" stage, in which no clinical signs are evident,
characterizes some diseases. In infectious diseases
this stage may be referred to as the incubation
period, which is the time between exposure to the
microorganism and the onset of signs or
symptoms; it may last for a day or so or may be
prolonged, perhaps for days or weeks.
Disease transmission of an insect bite The injury occurs when the insect either bites or
stings the patient. Venom is injected into the tissue,
resulting in the body's response to a foreign
protein.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever/Tick The causative agent, Rickettsia rickettsii, is
Bite disease transmission transmitted by the wood tick and is carried in the
feces of infected ticks. It is introduced into the
bloodstream of a person during a prolonged tick
bite.
Symptoms of Rocky Mountain Class triad: headache, fever, maculopapular rash
Spotted Fever (bumps and petechial rash)
high fever
Malaria/Mosquito bite disease Malaria is caused by four species of the protozoan
transmission genus Plasmodium, which is transmitted from
infected human to human by the bite of mosquito
vectors or, less commonly, by blood transfusion or
IV drug use.
,Disease transmission of The bite occurs when the offending animal is
animal/human bites agitated, frightened, threatened, or angry. Bites can
be from domestic animals, such as cats and dogs;
farm animals; or wild animals, such as skunks, bats,
raccoons, and foxes. Human bites have been
recorded.
The pattern of the teeth marks is helpful in
determining the type of bite, human or animal, and
the type of animal that did the biting if not
immediately known.
Snake bite disease transmission Four kinds of poisonous snakes are known to
inhabit the United States: rattlesnakes,
copperheads, water moccasins, and coral snakes.
Some bites are the work of nonpoisonous snakes,
but all snakebites should be treated as poisonous
by the first aid provider.
Cardinal Signs of Inflammation The cardinal signs of inflammation are redness
(rubor or erythema), heat, swelling, and pain;
sometimes loss of function
Diangostic blood changes that may *Leukocytosis (increased WBC)
indicate inflammation? *Differential count of WBC
*plasma protein (increased prothrombin and
fibrinogen)
*CRP (appears with acute inflammation and
necrosis)
*increased ESR
*cell enzymes present (may indicate necrosis)
, Treatment of inflammation *Drugs - Aspirin, NSAIDS, etc.
*RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation)
*Compression stockings
*Moderate exercise
Opportunistic infection Microbes that are not usually pathogenic but can
become pathogenic when transferred into another
location of the body, if the balance of the species
is not maintained, or if the body's defense is
impaired.
