- why it is important to know the etiology of a disease?arrow_forwardDefine the term pathogen. Using MRSA, NOROVIRUS, ATHLETES FOOT and MALARIA as examples, identify the microorganisms (causal agent) involved in each disease. Provide some information on the microorganism for each disease e.g. structure Discuss 3 routes of entry that disease causing organisms use to enter the body.arrow_forwardMatch the following descriptions to the stages of disease development. This period depends on the specific microorganism involved, its pathogenicity, the number of infecting microorganisms, and the resistance of the host. The fever decreases, and the feeling of malaise diminishes. It is characterized by early, mild symptoms of disease. A stage wherein the patient's immune response and other defense mechanisms are altered by the pathogen. A stage wherein recovery has occurred.arrow_forward

Outline the causal and risk factors for the disease and whether the risk factor is modifiable or non-modifiable and what interventions might be implemented to reduce the number of people developing or progressing with the disease.arrow_forwardpick two mechanism of disease and briefly describe themarrow_forwardDescribe the difference between the terms INFECTION and DISEASE. Starting with exposure to pathogens, describe IN DETAIL the steps involved in the infection process ( exposure, adherence, invasion and multiplication) as well as the disease process( Toxicity, invasiveness, tissue or system damage)arrow_forward

Use terms such as primary, secondary, healthcare-associated, STI, mixed, latent, toxemia, chronic, zoonotic, asymptomatic, local, and systemic to describe the types of infections (more than one term may apply, some may not apply to these conditions) 1) The development of Pneumocystisis pneumonia in an AIDS patientarrow_forwardAdam is a high school clinical intern working at a suburban Prisma Health Clinic. A nurse gave him the following graph derived from a patient suffering from seasonal influenza. Will you help Adam to match the periods/stages of the disease progression?
