Summary Of Kelly's Story

Scabies is a contagious skin disease marked by itching and small raised red spots, caused by the mite. Scabies is the result after the mite burrows into the skin. The itching is caused from the body’s allergic reaction to the mites, mite waste, and mite eggs. Scabies is usually spread by skin-to-skin contact with someone who already has scabies (Carey). Sexual contact, or other close contact, like hugging, is most likely the reason it is spread. Scabies can appear in clusters (Stoppler).

Germs causing impetigo can invade normal skin, but can also take advantage of skin that has already been damaged by cuts or grazes, insect bites, head lice, scabies, cold sores, or eczema.

Notes: Another survivor, Jill Leighton discloses information about her life trapped as a sex slave. Bruce, the charming stranger, prostituted Jill as his slave for three years. This personal narrative conveys explicit details of the ruthless abuse, as well as the horrid living conditions.

skin condition that staph is able to cause is cellulitis. It is more common in people who have a weakened immune system such as people who are immunocompromised, infants, and the elderly. Cellulitis is characterized by a red, warm patch on the skin paired with a fever. “The bacteria that cause cellulitis can spread rapidly, entering lymph nodes and your bloodstream. Recurrent episodes of cellulitis may cause chronic swelling of the affected limb” (Mayo, 2015). Cellulitis is spread extremely easily, and is a big issue within long term care facilities. The infection can be cured by antibiotics. However, there are cases reported stating that cellulitis is becoming resistant to some antibiotics. The doctor can order a culture to send to pathology.

In the news, we always hear about the catastrophic accidents such as oil spills or chemicals polluting an area from a factory. Such stories show things that might harm the earth or us. Yet, have folks ever suspected the friendly farmer down the road as a threat to your life? Well, Kelly Hunter Burch and Robert T. Connery share their viewpoints on whether animal manure is as deadly as these other chemicals.

Impetigo is extremely contagious, and can easily spread to another person if the fluid from the blisters comes in contact with an open area on their skin (PubMed Health. 2010). In Timothy’s preschool it could be spread from some of the fluid getting on toys, furniture or even hands, and then coming into contact with another child. Children like Timothy are more at risk of developing impetigo, especially if their skin has already been injured y cuts or abrasions, irritated or by having skin problems like eczema (Department of Health – Victoria, 2007).

Finally, she stayed at the top of mountain with proud, and her husband gave a bracelet for the

Impetigo is a highly contagious disease of the integumentary system. It can be caused by the bacteria streptococcus pyogenes or staphylococcus aureus, or a combination of both. Patients who have impetigo will often develop weeping sores that burst and ooze fluid. A honey colored crust will develops as well, after the blisters break open, which is caused by dried serum. This disease normally will develop around the mouth and nose, but can occur anywhere on the body. Impetigo is most commonly seen in children, but can occur in adults as well. Some children can have recurrent episodes of impetigo, and the disease usually peaks in the warm summer months. Impetigo thrives on the areas of the body that are the moist, such as the nostrils.

Erythema Infectiosum is called fifth disease. It is a mild illness caused by a virus. This virus most commonly occurs in children. The disease usually causes a bright red rash that appears on both cheeks. The rash has a "slapped cheek" appearance. Before the rash, the patient usually has a low-grade fever, mild upper respiratory symptoms, and a headache. One to three days after the cheek rash appears, a pink, lacy rash appears on the body, arms, and legs. This rash may come and go for up to 5 weeks. It often gets brighter following warm baths, exercise, and sun exposure. Your child may have no other symptoms or only a slight runny nose, sore throat, and very low fever. Complications are rare. This illness is quite

Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection characterized by the eruptions of superficial pustules and formation of thick yellow crusty sores. It is highly contagious and can occur anywhere on the body, especially in exposed areas. The two different types of Impetigo are Bullous Impetigo, which are large blisters, and Non-Bullous Impetigo, which are crusted over blisters. Non-Bullous Impetigo is the most common type. Both types require contact precautions because they can be transmitted via physical contact with anyone who has it, sharing the same clothes, bedding, towels, etc... Because of the way young children proceed with their lifestyles, touching everything within their reach, the primary age groups targeted with this infection

Coming into lab on an urgent call Sunday morning, a report from one of the upper level floor on patient (Wall-E) that was admitted to hospital with an unknown rash to the skin. However, not knowing it was a contagious bug upon contact, 39 current inpatient were infective by it as well. Thus, antimicrobial were given per MD order, but was not effective to cure the skin rash. Hence, further tests are needed to be perform to figure out what is causing the contagious skin microbial to become resistance to the current antimicrobial given.

Scabies is an itchy skin condition caused by the microscopic mite, Sarcoptes scabei. It is common all around the world, and can affect any one. Scabies spreads quickly in places such as hospitals, child-care centers, and nursing homes. This occurs because of crowded conditions where there is often skin-to-skin contact between people. Scabies can easily be transferred by household members. Sharing bedding, towels, and clothes can usually spread scabies. This can occur more easily when the infested person has crusted scabies, a severe form of scabies caused by delayed treatment of the infestation, mite-filled wounds covered by scabs. Scabies cannot be acquired by a pet because they get a different mite infection called "mange." Therefore, Scabies is a highly contagious and intensely itchy infestation that can be prevented and treated.

Dermatitis herpetiformis symptoms include itching, stinging and a burning sensation. Papules and vesicles are commonly present. The small red bumps experienced in this type of dermatitis are usually about 1 cm in size, red in color and may be found symmetrically grouped or distributed on

Impetigo is a skin infection in the form of a cluster of blisters that usually occurs on the face, but can infect any area of the body. This skin infection can affect all age groups but is most common with toddlers who develop a rash and cannot or do not understand that they need to keep from rubbing or scratching the rash because it could irritate and make the rash bigger and cause other skin or health problems to occur, e.g. impetigo. It is considered as a common skin infection and the most common in America. Ways to prevent and break the chain of infection is to practice regular hand hygiene and sterilize materials and objects that had contact with the infected area.

Fungal infections: these affect the skin, nails and hair. They are common and indications are usually mild. However, in individuals with debilitated immune systems, they can be more serious.
