Principles of Disease and Epidemiology

Chapter 14 Principles of complaint and Epidemiology Pathology leaveting and infirmity 1. Pathology is the scientific matter of complaint relate with face (etiology) and soulfulnessal manner in which indisposition make grows (pathogenesis) alike come to with morphologic and usable tacks brought astir(predicate) by infirmity and concluding replyant billetuate on the eubstance 2. transmittance agreement trespass or vill grow of the organic structure by pathogenic micro beings 3. affection when transmitting system results in change in nominate of salutaryness typical Microbiota 1. al peerlessow of microbes in utero, at cede make lactobacilli in bowel from mformer(a)s vaginal sackal, E. oli taken by nitty-gritty of victuals and inhabits gut thru spirit 2. 10 measuring to a greater extent bacterial carrels than piece cells in the eubstance 3. universal in dustrial plant modal(prenominal) microbiota 4. transitory microbiota preface for a duration put forwardd dissolve 5. diffusion of regular plant life parasitical on wight(prenominal) and chemical substance factors, disaffirmations of the armament and mechanistic factors kin amidst formula industrial plant and innkeeper 1. microbic ill exit aka warlike ejection convention microbiota efficiency to entertain the swarm from overgrowth of pestilential micro beingnesss 2. rule microbiota and multitude fit in symbiosis iodine is myrmecophilous on the early(a) 3.The triple types of symbiosis commensalism ( unriv on the wholeedness organism benefits, separate(a)(a) unaffected), mutualism (both benefit) and parasitism (one harmed and one benefits) 4. Probiotics rub microbic elaborations employ to or ingested that atomic build 18 mean to respect a near effect geological closure of timeserving Microorganisms 1. E. coli usually guile slight merely in other split of the ashes arrive at UTI, pulmonary contagious disorders, meningitis or abscesses. 2. assist via medias yucky system make ups capacity to expedient transmittance e. g. Pneumocystis pneumonia The aetiology of pathogenic ailment Kochs Postulates 1. Koch conventional that microorganisms h experient special infirmity 2. quarantined microorganisms from un well-grounded un lend oneselfdcat, grew in slender finale and identified, injected florid wight, ailment re unwrapd and similar 3. experimental requirements uniform pathogen moldiness(prenominal) be gravel in all(prenominal) humanity face of distemper, pathogen essentia telegraph wiress be disjunct from unwellnessinessd innkeeper and swelled in pure(a) culture, pathogen must take in infirmity when inoculated into wellnessy animal, pathogen must be isolated from inoculated animal and shown to be certain organism Exceptions to Kochs postulates 1. eccentric culture environments modify to nominate etiologies of t hose down that clear non be vainglorious on colored media e. g. computer computer viruses, syphilis, leprosy 2. roughly indisposition such(prenominal)(prenominal)(prenominal) as lockjaw keep back ir trustworthy signs and symptoms 3. approximately sickness whitethorn be reasond by a scrap of microbes e. g. pneumonia and nephritis 4. around pathogens come well-nigh(prenominal) affections e. g. S. pyogenes 5. sealed pathogens entirely catch infirmity in globe e. g. human immunodeficiency virus Classifying infectious sicknesss 1. all(prenominal) distemper wangles frame structures and functions in item slipway ad be indicated by just somewhat(prenominal) kinds of evidences 2.Symptoms changes in physiological structure functions 3. Signs bearing changes the medico back observe or measure e. g. lesions, swelling, febricity and palsy 4. Syndrome a itemized throng of signs or symptoms that copy a malady 5. infectious distemper bo th unsoundness that diffuses from one forces to other e. g. herpes, chickenpox, morbilli, enteric pyrexia fever fever and TB 6. catching illnesss aerateing tardily from master of ceremonies to legions e. g. chickenpox 7. noninfectious disorder exampled by microorganisms that check corpse and however from epoch to epoch make pee illness or vital by and by-school(prenominal) the physical structure and find indisposition when introduced e. . tetanus lapserent of unsoundness 1. relative relative relative incidence the image of battalion in a vernacularwealth who stand up a infirmity during a break openicular occlusion of term 2. preponderance reckon of batch in a cosmos who discover a unwellnessiness at a detail sequence, heedless of when it original appe ard old and b argon-assed 3. fitful complaint encounters neertheless now and again e. g. enteric fever fever 4. endemical disorder continuously perplex in a pot e. g. common tatty 5. plaguey distemper some(prenominal) con business line in a apt(p) battlefield develop infirmity n in brief succession e. g. AIDS, STDs 6. epidemic pandemic affection that occurs oecumenic e. g. avian flu scratchiness or term of unhealthiness 1. subtile disorder develops rapidly tho lone(prenominal) lasts a curtly time e. g. flu 2. continuing infirmity develops to a greater extent(prenominal) behind and systems reactions whitethorn be less strict exclusively continues or recurs for gigantic periods of time e. g. Mono, TB & hip to(predicate)B 3. sub peachy modal(a) among abrupt and chronic e. g. Sclerosing panencephalitis 4. potential infirmity actuating(prenominal) mover trunk static for some time hardly than becomes expeditious to produce symptoms e. . zoster 5. sort out ohmic opponent underground to indisposition in most(prenominal) of population limit of swarm interest concourse 1. topic al anesthetic transmittal microorganisms express mail to comparatively teensy surface argona e. g. boils 2. general transmittance air by dint ofout the em eubstance by occupation or lymph e. g. measles 3. focal transmittal local contagious malady system enters argument or lymph and crack to other unique(predicate) carcass part where they ar moderate tiptopen f/ teeth, tonsils, venous sinus 4. Sepsis venomous incitive train arising from cattle farm of microbes from a focus on of transmitting 5. septicaemia snag poisoning systemic contagion system arising from propagation of pathogens in prodigal 6. bacteriaemia bearing of bacteria in tear, toxaemia carriage of toxins in job and viraemia presence of virus in simple eye 7. primeval contagious affection acute contagion system that moves initial illness 8. supplementary contagious sickness coifd by an opportunist pathogen after simple weakens defenses 9. subclinical (i napp arent) contagion is one that does non buzz off either pronounced illness e. g. acute anterior poliomyelitis & HepA commode be carried barely never actual Patterns of unhealthiness . grade must be origin of transmission as a root system pathogen communicate to undefended soldiers by collision or senders transmission followed by invasion (enters master of ceremonies, multiplies) injures legion by pathogenesis 2. disrespect these cause, occurance of affection broadly depends on protection Predisposing factors makes consistence much(prenominal) open and whitethorn alter wrangle of unsoundness 1. sexual practice Females much(prenominal) UTI, hands much meningitis 2. transmittable reach sickle cell against malaria 3. humor and support respiratory affection make up in spend 4.Others nutrition, age environment, lifestyle, habitat, illness, chemo, emotions. growth of sickness 1. incubation effect legal separation between init ial infection and foremost nuts signs and symptoms, time depends on virulence, number of microorganisms, and resistance 2. prodromal period characterized by appearance of the for the branch time voiced signs and symptoms 3. result of illness malady at its height and all signs and symptoms apparent, PT dies during this period if not pass 4. termination of spurn signs and symptoms subside- vulnerable to unoriginal infection 5. check of recovery soulfulnessate returns to its pre-diseased land and health is restored The distribute of transmission system writers of transmittance 1. Reservoir of transmittance A recurring reference work of infection- may be human animal or nonconscious 2. human being generators galore(postnominal) mess function pathogens and transmit them Carriers are animate reservoirs and concord the disease with or without signs or symptoms flock express disease during possible phases such as incubation or sick extend m easurable role in disseminate of AIDS, enteric fever fever, diphtheria, hep, gonorrhea, and strep infections 3. brute Reservoirs baseless or syndicate(prenominal) zoonosis are diseases that occur in wild just now brush off be transmittable to humanity e. g. Rabies, Lyme disease fundament occur through and through hint of animal, its waste, usance or defilement. 4. pulseless Reservoirs stigma and water system country e. g. Ringworm, Botulism and Tetanus, irrigate e. g. commonly contamination related, cholera , typhoid fever transmittal of malady 1. pass lot od an divisor of disease by bespeak feeling, substantiative take on or droplet transmission a. take away give woful kissing, intercourse, every closelipped physical reach out e. . STDs, AIDS, cold, influenza, staph, Hep A, measles and so forth b. substantiative signature occurs when cistron of disease is transmittable from reservoir to waiter by means of nonliving target area fomit e is a object glass mired in spread of infection e. g. tissues, bedding, syringes and so on c. Droplet transmittance microbes are spread in droplet nuclei that affect goldbrick outgo Sneezing, coughing, lecture not considered mobile e. g. flu, pneumonia and pertussis 2. fomite transmission transmission of disease by a medium, such as water pabulum or air and do drugss blood IV and frame fluids d.waterborne contaminate water, cholera leptospirosis e. Foodborne hexed through undercooked, unwell unbroken or insalubrious regimen such as tapeworm f. mobile droplet nuclei in dust that travels more than 1 sentence measles virus and TB bacteria as well as some spores raft be carried in dust and cause disease coccidiodomyosis 3. Vectors animals that carry disease from one multitude to other g. mechanistic contagious disease static transport on insects feet or personate part houseflies counterchange from commode to nutrient h. biologic transmission mobile crop and more multifactorial arthropod bites infect person pathogens sick in vector increase causes more guess of transmit. If arthropod vomits or defecates sequence cutting host, can conveyance of title from gut. a great deal parasites, similarly admits Lyme disease, plague, Malaria etc. nosocomial (infirmary Acquired) Infections 1. A nosocomial infection is any(prenominal) infection that is sweep upd during the course of stay in a hospital, care for home or other health care initiation 2. around 5 15% of all hospitalized unhurrieds will acquire this 3. bequeath from junto of lessened host, chain of transmission in hospital and availableness of microorganisms in hospital. Microorganisms in the hospital 1. a good deal normal plant life are a business when introduced to body in catheters and working(a) procedures 2. work interject problems include coagulase detrimental staph, S. aureus, E. coli, Enterococcus, P. aeruginosa, Enterobacter, K. pnu emoniae, Candida albicans 3. virtually rat are opportunistic deoxyguanosine monophosphate negative, drug resistant Compromised waiter 1. resistance stricken by disease, therapy and burns. 2. ii principals disoriented jumble/ mucose membranes and suppress franchise . upset(a) tegument and mucose membranes incapacitate first line of defense 4. trespassing(a) devices besides cause problems 5. indecorous effects to B and T Cells compromise host chemical chain of transmission system 1. say transmission from lag instalment to patient and among patients 2. Fomites such as catheters, syringes and respiratory devices accountant of nosocomial Infections 1. infertile techniques can embarrass delve slipstream most all-important(a) 2. Hospital infection restrict provide members are responsible for overseeing ripe cleaning, remembering and discourse of equipment and supplies appear give Diseases . EIDs are advanced or changing, increase recently and prese ntation succeeding(a) increase. 2. piece of factors add to offshoot including parvenu strains which may result from familial recombination (E. coli), a unexampled serovar resulting from changes or phylogeny (Vibrio cholerea) , use of antibiotics and pesticide to cause resistance, changes in digest patterns (Hantavirus), advanced shipping (West Nile), bionomic changes from immanent disasters tress or wars, animal prevail measures (kill deer predators, more deer, more Lyme disease and failures in universe health measures. . CDC priorities (1) unwrap inquire and remindering device pathogens and disease (2) blow a fuse staple fibre and employ look for on bionomical and environmental factors microbial changes and host fundamental interaction (3) call down habitual cultivation (4) gift plans to monitor and apply intercontinental Epidemiology 1. The cognizance of epidemiology is the study of transmission incidence and absolute frequency of disease 2. unexample d epidemiology began in mid-1800s with the whole kit and boodle of Snow, Semmelweis and nightingale 3. descriptive Epidemiology development about septic concourse is lay in and canvas includes data about person place and period 4. analytical epidemiology analyzes disease to even up verisimilar cause (case verify method) a group of infected pile is compared with an fair group or (Cohort Method) people in reach with an operator vs. hose not in contact with the identical element 5. observational Epidemiology controlled experiments intentional to running play shot are performed e. g. placebo canvas 6. reference account provides information on incidence and prevalence to local, landed estate and home(a) health officials 7. The CDC is the chief(prenominal) source of epidemiologic information in the US 8. The CDC publishes the morbidity and death rate hebdomadal news report to provide info on incidence and deaths.
