Summary Introduction
To write:
Whether an infant gets affected by zika infection.
Introduction:
In 1947, the first zika virus was identified in the East African forest of Uganda. The Aedes species of mosquito hosts the zika virus. Symptoms of zika infections are mild fever, joint pain, pink eye, and rash. The definite incubation period of this virus is not known but is assumed to be 2 weeks, and within it, certain mild symptoms are shown, such as rashes, joint pain, and headache. When this virus is in incubation period, it may not be detected by a blood test, therefore symptoms should not be neglected, and one must take proper care.

Be sure to show your work. A new screening tool is being tested in European airports detect travelers who are suffering from a febrile rash illness in order to prevent passengers with measles from crossing into a different country. Three thousand (3,000) individuals were screened using this tool. All 3,000 individuals were also tested for measles using a laboratory test. There were 300 people who were positive using the screening test. There were 210 people who were positive for measles using the laboratory test. Among those with a positive laboratory test for measles, 20 tested negative with the screening tool (false negatives). 2x2 table + - Total + A B A+B - C D C+D Total A+C B+D A+B+C+D List the values for each cell: A, B, C, D, A+B, C+D, A+C, B+D, A+B+C+D Calculate the sensitivity of the test.…arrow_forward
- Tuberclosis is a chronic respiratory condition caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a highly contagious bacterium. People with tuberculosis will often have a persistent (sometimes bloody) cough, fatigue, weight loss, and fever. M. tuberculosis produces a protein we will call "X." A new test for tuberculosis checks for X antibodies in a person's blood. If the antibodies are present, the result is positive. Why would X antibodies be present in someone's blood What specific kind of cells would produce them?arrow_forwardSusceptibility/Predisposition to Infectious Disease Why is it that some people always seem to get the flu and others don't?

- Why was variolation abolished in favor of vaccination? Variolation had high infectious (10%) and death rates (up to 3%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it. Variolation had high infectious (50%) and death rates (up to 3%). Vaccination was much safer and people did not get smallpox from it.
