(18) Septicemia - "CORRECT ANSWER" The toxic condition caused by the multiplication of bacteria in
the blood.
(18) Microbemia - "CORRECT ANSWER" In infection caused by a microorganism entering the
circulatory system through lymphatic drainage.
(18) Strep throat - "CORRECT ANSWER" Causes a rare, inflammatory disease called rheumatic fever

, (18) Principles of Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (VHF) - "CORRECT 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 - "CORRECT 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 - "CORRECT ANSWER" serious form; fatal if untreated.
(18) Cutaneous leishmaniasis - "CORRECT ANSWER" common form; sore forms at fly-bite site; long
healing period (few months to a year).
(18) Diffuse cutaneous leishmaniasis - "CORRECT ANSWER" widespread skin lesions; difficult to treat.
(18) Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis - "CORRECT ANSWER" skin ulcers that spread and can cause tissue
damage to the nose and mouth.
(16) Who first observed microbes on the teeth? - "CORRECT ANSWER" Van Leeuwenhoek
(16) What causes peptic ulcers? - "CORRECT ANSWER" Helicobacter pylori
(16) What is another word for Bacillary dysentery? - "CORRECT ANSWER" Shingellosis, transmitted by
fecal-oral route
(16) How many known forms of gastroenteritis is caused by E.Coli? - "CORRECT ANSWER" Five
(16) What causes Bacillus intoxication ? - "CORRECT ANSWER" Bacillus cereus (food poisoning )
caused by prepared foods held without adequate refrigeration for several hours before serving.
(16) What is the most common cause of infectious diarrhea in infants and children? - "CORRECT
ANSWER" Rotavirus
(16) Calciviruses - "CORRECT ANSWER" A group of (+)ssRNA viruses that have been isolated from
birds, cats, dogs, sheep, cows, humans, and are a major cause of grastroenteritis
(16) Which organism produces afloxoxin, a major carcinogenic substance, causes a fungus ball? -
"CORRECT ANSWER" Aspirgillus flavus
(16) Where does the human pinworm, Enerterobius vermicularis live in humans? - "CORRECT
ANSWER" Rectum
(16) Gingivitis - "CORRECT ANSWER" A peridontal disease that causes inflammation of the gums.
(16) What is another word for "stomach flu"? - "CORRECT ANSWER" Gastroenteritis

canned food with dented, puffy, or loose lids.
(16) What bacteria causes Staphyloccal intoxication? - "CORRECT ANSWER" Staphlococcus aureus
