1 International Sanitary Regulation - Common Communicable Diseases
2 Disease: Condition that interferes w/ the operation of the body & mind Communicable Disease: Caused by a pathogen that can be spread from one living thing to another.
3 Non-Communicable Disease: Caused by something other than a pathogen Go HGConsu sdmedica Explicit S1on 0fmedl exact SearchMe Example- Heart Disease These diseases are not contagious!
4 Pathogen: -Disease-causing organism or germ -5 types: A) Viruses B) Bacteria C) Rickettsia D) Fungi E) Protozoa -All communicable diseases are caused by one of these 5!
5 Pathogen: -Not all pathogens are bad--- some are good! -5 types:
6
7 A) Viruses -The simplest pathogens -1-millionth of a inch long----can only be seen w/ an electron microscope! -A thousand times smaller than bacteria! -Are programmed to infect only certain body cells
8 A) Viruses -Walk a fine line between living & non-living things -Because viruses do not carry out their own biochemical reactions, antibiotics do not affect them. -Immunizations work by preinfecting the body so it knows how to produce the right antibodies as soon as the virus starts reproducing.
9 -Viral diseasesmeasles, chickenpox, cold, influenza, herpes This is the common cold virus
10 How viruses invade our body:
11 How viruses invade our body: How do you think fever protects us against this?
12 How do you think fever protects us against this? because the ideal temperature for this to happen in is Anything higher slows down the replication...
13 A) Viruses -Bacteria can live on their own if they have the proper environment -Viruses need to be inside another living cell such as a human or animal -The goal of viruses is to find a perfect host, reproduce, & spread -Can mutate to adjust to new environments
14
15 Primary Herpes Infection w/ mouth ulcers Herpes Simples cold sore
16 Human Immunodeficiency Virus(HIV)
17
18 Ebola, Marburg Viral hemorrhagic fever is a collective name given to a group of viruses, including Ebola and Marburg. These fevers range in seriousness from the mild to the usually fatal. Ebola and Marburg are particularly deadly and mysterious. Ebola was named after the Ebola River in Zaire. It was in this region that the first epidemics occurred in the 1970s. Ebola is thus a classic "emerging disease" - one which has only recently entered the human ecology. Emerging diseases are becoming increasingly common as human populations swell, the environment is degraded and the climate warms. Today's tip: you really don't want to get Ebola. It's a nightmare become real. The first symptoms are a low-grade headache. This quickly progresses to a debilitating fever and muscle pain. Then things get truly bad as the major organs, the digestive tract, the skin, the eyes, the gums, all begin to break down and bleed. The body begins to dissolve. Blood pours out of body orifices while the victim writhes in pain. Death usually comes from systemic shock and blood loss. Researchers were shocked when they first autopsied people who died from these fevers.
19 E b o l a
20 B) Bacteria -Single-celled microorganism Strep throat bacteria -There are more than 1000 types, but only about 100 cause disease -Some are helpful (Ex.- Bacteria in your intestines aid digestion) -Bacteria diseases- Strep Throat, Tuberculosis, Lyme Disease
21 B) Bacteria -Are so small that a BILLION could fit on a teaspoon -There are more than 1000 types, but only about 100 cause disease -One bacterium is smaller than a grain of salt--- must use a microscope to see these -All different shapes- comma, stick, etc. E-Coli Bacteria
22
23
24
25
26
27 Strep Throat
28 C) Rickettsia -Pathogens that Grow inside living Cells & resemble bacteria -Much smaller than bacteria -Ex.- Rocky Mtn. Spotted Fever, Typhus
29 Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever
30 Typhus patient (Disease in areas where people & rodents live in close proximity (Fleas bite the rats & then contact humans )
31 D) Fungi- Plant-like organisms such as yeast & molds -Can cause diseases of the skin, lungs, or mucous membranes -Fungal diseases- Athlete s foot, jock itch, ringworm Fungus that causes athlete s foot
32 -Love damp warm places such as under rocks, between your toes, etc. -Most are relatively harmless & can be treated
33
34 F.Y.I.- Athlete s foot is just on the foot
35 E) Protozoa- Tiny single-celled organisms that produce toxins that produce disease -Can cause diseases of the skin, lungs, or mucous membranes -Fungal diseases- Malaria, dysentery, African Sleeping Sickness An example of a protozoa
36 -Live in rivers, ponds, water, etc. -Actually eat bacteria & other organisms wastes that is good -Some are parasites---that is bad such as when they cause malaria or intestinal problems. Another example of a protozoa
37
38 MALARIA HOT ZONES
39 These PROTOZOA can cause problems if they contaminate contact lenses since they cause erosion of the eye lens.
40
41 3 Terms to Know When Talking About Diseases 1- Symptom- A change in the way your body functions or behaves from the usual. Ex.- One of the symptoms of mono is being extremely tired
42 3- Antibiotic- A substance that slows the growth of pathogens
43 2- Diagnosis- Finding out what is wrong by having an exam,studying symptoms, & having tests
44 HOW PATHOGENS ARE SPREAD 1- Direct Contact: Kissing, intercourse, transfusion, touching sores, body fluids 2- Contact w/ pathogens in air 3- Indirect Contact 4- Animals & Insects 5- Contaminated food & water -All communicable diseases are caused by one of these 5!
45 4 WAYS PATHOGENS ARE SPREAD!!!
46 CONTAGIOUS PERIOD -All communicable diseases have a Contagious Period (Time that a disease can be spread) -Often occurs before person shows symptoms
47 CONTAGIOUS PERIOD OF SOME DISEASES -CHICKEN POX- 1-5 days before symptoms appear to when spots crust over -MUMPS- 3-4 days before symptoms appear to 9 days after -MEASLES- 3-4 days before rash starts to 4 days after -COMMON COLD- At least 24 hrs. after symptoms appear
48 Why is it important to understand the contagious period of common communicable diseases?
49 Related Terms When a communicable disease spreads rapidly in a community it is an.
50 Related Terms When a communicable disease spreads rapidly in a community it is an epidemic.
51 1918 influenza epidemic
52 Related Terms When this spreads across a country or continent or many people around the world get the disease you have a.
53 Related Terms When this spreads across a country or continent or many people around the world get the disease you have a pandemic.
54 Related Terms refers to a disease that has spread rapidly & widely with no cure.
55 Related Terms Plague refers to a disease that has spread rapidly & widely with no cure.
56 Do you share any of the following items with friends?: *Water Bottle *Combs *Makeup *Pop Can or Bottle
57 So how does the body protect itself from diseases and germs?
58 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease -Each day our bodies are exposed to countless pathogens -The human body can trap, repel, or destroy most of them before they do damage
59 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease 1- SKIN-Unbroken skin prevents pathogens from entering -The outer layer of skin, the dead cells, is removed when you bathe. -Taking a shower/bath rids the body of the pathogens on the outer layer
60 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease 2- TEARS, SALIVA, & PERSPIRATION- -All contain chemicals that kill pathogens -Saliva kills organisms that enter the mouth -Tears wash them away
61 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease 3- MUCOUS MEMBRANES- tissues that line the body openings & secrete mucous -Mucous from nose & throat traps pathogens
62 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease 4- STOMACH ACIDS- - When a person puts a finger or hand in their mouth, pathogens may enter -Saliva acids takes care of some of these -Most are swallowed & killed by stomach
63 5- FEVER- -When pathogens multiply in your body, the reaction is a fever. -An increase of even 1 or 2 degrees changes the environment in the body slowing down the pathogens -Many pathogens cannot live at a higher body temperature
64 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease 6- IMMUNE SYSTEM RESPONSE- Immune System- Cells & organs that fight disease in our bodies -
65 Lymphnodes are like fighting arenas because battles occur there. They are found throughout the body: neck, armpits, and groin. B and T platoons wait for invaders there and go to war. A swollen gland is a sign that a battle is raging in the lymphnode. Go back to the top
66 -T-Cells- White blood cells that regulate the immune system
67 T-Cells
68 Phagocytes- White blood cells that kill pathogens by ingesting them B Cells- Cells that produce antibodies Antibodies- Proteins that cover the surface of pathogens making it hard for them to attack body cells
69 This is a phagocyte engulfing a bacteria cell
70 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease -Immunity- Resistance to a disease 7- ACTIVE IMMUNITY- Resistance to a disease due to production of antibodies. There are 2 ways to get this!
71 2 WAYS TO GET ACTIVE IMMUNITY 1- By getting a disease (Ex.- Chickenpox) After beating the disease, your body forever stores some T-CELLS as memory cells
72 2 WAYS TO GET ACTIVE IMMUNITY 1- Getting vaccinated (Ex.- Polio) You are given dead or weakened cells of the disease which allows your body to fight the disease to develop antibodies against it. This explains why you sometimes get sick after getting a shot
73 The effects of polio infection can be debilitating. These children live in a home in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Hospital wards like this one, filled with people in iron lungs, were common sites in 1940s and 50s North America when polio was rife.
74 Child in an iron lung c Photo courtesy of the March of Dimes This 70 year-old man had polio earlier in life. You can see how one leg has atrophied.
75 -Vaccine- Giving dead or weakened pathogens
76 -The body then makes antibodies for the specific pathogen Ex.: Measles Mumps, Polio, Typhoid Ex.: Smallpox was eliminated in 1980
77 8 Ways the Body Protects Itself Against Disease 8- PASSIVE IMMUNITY- Immunity that results from putting antibodies into the bloodstream. -Could be from another person s blood -Babies get immunity from their mothers that last 4-6 months -Short-term immunity (weeks or months) -Used when faced with immediate risk
78 KEEPING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HEALTHY 1- Avoid alcohol, tobacco, & other drugs- They lower your # of T-Cells & phagocytes 2- Practice stress management skills- Stress lowers your # of T-Cells & phagocytes
79 3- Get plenty of rest- Sleep helps you to have more energy. 4- Vitamin C- Keeps your immune system strong 5- Get appropriate vaccines- Triggers the immune system to produce antibodies
80 Ways to Reduce the Risk of Communicable Disease 1- Do not share personal items such as combs, toothbrushes, eating utensils, towels, make-up, etc. 2- Wash hands w/ soap after using restroom, before eating, etc. 3- Cover mouth & nose when sneezing or coughing Others are found on P
