Transcript Diseases and the Human Body Rubella Infectious

Diseases
and the
Human Body
Rubella
1) Infectious illness with flu-like symptoms
followed by a rash.
2) Caused by a virus
3) Low-grade fever, Headache, runny nose
red eyes, Muscle or joint pain
4) Body systems affected - Respiratory (running
nose), integumentary (rash on skin),
muscular, skeletal
Pertussis
1) Infectious - aka Whooping cough, is an
infectious bacterial disease that causes
uncontrollable coughing
2) Caused by bacteria
3) You may have choking spells or may cough
so hard that you vomit
4) Body systems affected - Respiratory system,
lungs
These are three images of children with Pertussis. The child on the left has broken
blood vessels in the eyes and bruising on face due to pertussis coughing.
Salmonellosis (salmonella)
1) Infectious – from contaminated food
2) Caused by bacteria, no vaccine available
3) diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps
4) Body systems and/or organs affected –
digestive system, stomach, intestines
Yellow Fever
1) Infectious virus, transmitted to humans
through the bite of infected mosquitoes
2) Caused by a virus
3) Symptoms - fever and chills, severe
headache, back pain, general muscle aches,
nausea, fatigue, and weakness. Affects the
LIVER-causes Jaundice
4) Body systems – muscular system, nervous
system
Bubonic Plague
1) Infectious - bacteria are found mainly in rats
and in the fleas that feed on them. People and
other animals can get plague from rat or flea bites. In the
1300s, the "Black Death," as it was called, killed
approximately one-third of Europe's population. Today
plague is uncommon. This is largely due to better living
conditions and antibiotics.
2) Caused by bacteria
3) Chills, high fever, muscle pain, severe
headache, seizures
4) Body systems – respiratory, muscular
Dengue Fever
1) Infectious - virus transmitted by mosquitoes
2) Caused by a virus
3) Severe headache, joint pain, muscle and/or
bone pain, rash, bleeding, low white cell
count
4) Body systems – skeletal, muscular,
integumentary, circulatory
Strep Throat
1) Infectious – passed from person to
person
2) Caused by bacteria often found in the throat
and on the skin
3) Symptoms - severe pain and swelling in the
throat, fever
4) Body systems – respiratory, throat
Mononucleosis
1) Infectious - one of the most common
human viruses
2) Caused by a virus and requires intimate
contact with the saliva (found in the mouth) of
an infected person.
3) Symptoms - fever, sore throat, and swollen
lymph glands
4) Body systems – respiratory system,
lymphatic system, circulatory system
Ringworm
1) Infectious
2) Caused by a fungus, “ringworm” is not
caused by a worm, but rather by a type of
fungus called a “dermatophyte.” Spread usually
occurs through direct contact with an infected person or animal. Clothing,
bedding and towels can also become contaminated and spread the
infection.
3) Symptoms – itchy skin on almost any area of the body, such as
the scalp, legs, arms, feet and groin. Redness, scaling, or fissuring of the
skin, or a ring with irregular borders and a cleared central area may
occur.
4) Body systems - integumentary
Creutzfeldt-Jakob
Disease
1) Noninfectious, a very rare genetic
mutation
2) Causes - unknown spontaneous genetic
mutation
3) Symptoms - Personality changes, anxiety
depression , memory loss, impaired thinking,
blurred vision, insomnia
4) Body systems – nervous system, a degenerative
brain disorder that leads to dementia and, ultimately, death. Symptoms of
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) sometimes resemble those of other
dementia-like brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's.
Diseases
and the
Human Body
Parkinson’s Disease
• 1). Non infectious –No Cure
• 2.) Cause of the disease is unknown but
genetics and environment are factors.
• 3.) Symptoms include tremors in the
hands, as the disease progress, it affects
the brain; slow movement, stiffness in
muscles and balance and coordination
• 4.) Brain-Nervous System
Small Pox
• 1.) Infectious- person to person contact
• 2.) Cause- Virus
• 3.) Symptoms- Flu-like: fever, headache,
rash
• 4.) Replicates itself in the blood vesselscirculatory system. Skin- Integmentary
system
Lyme Disease
• 1.) Infectious- Deer Tick bite
• 2.) Cause – Bacteria
• 3.) Symptoms- Flu-Like; fever, headache,
fatigue and rash. If left untreated, could
affect the joints, heart and brain.
• 4.) Integmentary, Skeletal, Circulatory and
Nervous Systems
Skin Cancer
• 1.) Non infectious- an abnormal growth of
skin cells
• 2.) Caused by exposure to the SUN
• 3.) Symptoms- freckles, moles and small
lesions that change shape and color.
• 4.) All skin tones can be affectedIntegmentary system
Mumps
• 1.) Infectious- vaccine available
• 2.) Cause- Virus
• 3.) Symptoms- Flu-like; fever, headache,
muscle pain, tired and weakness followed
by swollen salivary glands.
• 4.) Muscle and Skeletal systems
Anthrax
• 1.) Infectious- Bacterial Disease
• 2.) 3 Types: Skin- sore turns to blister
which turns to ulcer. Treated w/ antibotics
• Digestive-nausea, not eating, bloody
diarrhea, fever and stomach pain. 1/3
people die from this type
• Breathing anthrax- Lungs-Flu like systems
With sore throat. ½ people die from this
type
Asthma
• 1.) Non infectious
• 2.) Symptoms- wheezing,
breathlessness, chest tightness
and early morning and night time
coughing.
• 3.) Lungs-Respiratory System
HIV/AIDS
• 1.) Human Immunodeficiency Virus leads
to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
• Infectious spread through unprotected
sexual transmission and blood to blood
contact.
• Symptoms- may not show up for up to 10
years after being affected w/ the virus.
However, the virus continues attacking
and destroying the Immune System, until
the body cannot fight off other diseases
and cancers.
