The Naming Of Trachoma, Inclusion Conjunctivitis Disease

A. Crohn’s Disease was named after Dr. Burrill B. Crohn who first described the disease in 1932.

In the eyelid the rash of shingles can cause an inflammation of the eyelids that comes to block the vision. Lashes may fall, and scarring may occur due to rupture of the blisters. In the cornea the virus invades, it can cause ulcers and inflammation that will lead to a permanent cicatrization. This can result in blurred vision and blindness. You may also suffer from a loss of sensation in the cornea; For example, you will not be able to tell if you have a flap or if you have grit in your eye. On the uvea, including the iris. Inflammation of the iris occurs frequently when you suffer from shingles in the eye and this can lead to permanent scarring. It can also cause fluid pressure inside the eye to increase, increasing the chances of developing glaucoma. In the case of retinal infection, the cells to begin dying, creating blurred vision and pain in the eye. If left untreated, infection can lead to permanent blindness. A retinal detachment may also occur. If shingles invades the optic nerve it will inflame it, which can cause nerve damage similar to those caused by glaucoma, resulting in loss of

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most widespread and infamous bacterial infection affecting the genital tract. Not only is it quite common in developed countries but an increase in cases has sprung up in developing countries as well. In the United States, there is a 4 million per year case rate of chlamydia which costs the US approximately $2 billion dollars in consequences and treatments. Persons who suffer from chlamydia in underdeveloped countries and have no means of seeking treatment may become blind because chlamydia has the potential of causing trachoma. It is becoming a global interest to control and restrain this budding disease. In order to do so it is essential to recognize the symptoms of chlamydia, diagnose the victim, and

Chlamydia trachomatis is a sexually transmitted bacterium that falls into the genus Chlamydia. In general it is prevalent amongst the younger adults due to living a promiscuous life style. C. trachomatis can be responsible for both long and short term effects from contracting this bacterial disease therefore the longer you have it the more severe the effects can be. Chlamydia can be asymptomatic meaning it can go unnoticed for a prolonged period of time without any symptoms; the symptoms that do arise are ones that can’t be ignored for they are irritating, painful and harmful, if left untreated. Anyone participating in any kind of sexual activity should be tested annually. There are a variety of ways and resources for diagnosing C. trachomatis along with treatments for this infection which include antibiotics and prevention strategies. C. trachomatis is the most common and reported sexually transmitted disease (STD) in Wisconsin (1). C. trachomatis has specific microbial characteristics such as size and shape. C. trachomatis is an obligate intracellular parasite which is a type of parasite that can reproduce only inside their host cell. Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomati. This bacterium can only be spread by having one or any of the following: anal, vaginal, and oral sex with someone who has chlamydia, this

The common term that is known to us around the world is chlamydia, but most people do not know its scientific name, which is called chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia is among the smallest living organisms. It is nonmotile and a gram-negative cocci bacteria. These parasites can bind to intracellular bacteria that only affect humans. So in a nut shell chlamydia cannot survive without us humans, where it takes everything from us but does not give back. In order for it to make copies of itself it needs the help of a human. Without the help of a human it cannot make copies of itself nor survive because it needs ATP and other nutrients that it isn’t capable of making on its own. It was believed that this bacterium was known to be a virus due to the fact it cannot synthesize ATP and grows only inside of a host cell. The cytoplasmic inclusion of chlamydia was mistaken for a protozoan parasite for a long period of time before they figured it out that it was a virus.

"Identified 1907, Chlamydia was once thought to be a virus. It was classified as a bacterium in the 1960's" (Breguet 9) by Stanislaus Von Prowazek, a Czech Scientist. This discovery of a new bacterium led many scientist to believe that this was not the only bacteria they were classifying wrong. Chlamydia trachomatis "The word Chlamydia comes from the greek chlamys, A type of cloak that drapes over the shoulder. This refers to the way the Chlamydia bacterium drapes itself around the nucleus of cells it attacks" (Breguet 23). This discovery of the the bacterium and the name is just the beginning of many years of research that has yet to come.

Pinkeye happens when your eye turns pink or red. Conjunctivitis is not permanent, it only lasts a week or only a few days. Kids get conjunctivitis from bacteria or a certain virus. You can't really see bacteria without a powerful microscope, viruses are much smaller than bacteria. Certain kinds of bacteria don't bother you and it can

Smallpox is believed to have first appeared around 10,000 BC and spread by Egyptian merchants. The earliest evidence

Introduction: Chlamydia Trachomatis is the organism responsible for diseases such as trachoma and the STD Chlamydia. Chlamydia is the most common STD in the United States, with about 4 million new cases diagnosed every year.

trachomatis is classified into two biovars: the trachoma biovar which includes ocular and urogenital strains (A-K) and the LGV biovar (L1-L3) [21]. Trachoma strains are characterized by localized infection, while serovars A-C cause infection of the epithelial surface of the conjunctiva, serovars D-K are responsible for infections in the urogenital tract, especially in the endocervix [22]. Chlamydiae have a unique biphasic developmental cycle, which alternates between two distinct morphological forms, the elementary bodies (EB) and the reticulate bodies (RB) (Moulder, 1991). When infection occurs the EBs, which are metabolically inert, attached to and stimulate uptake by the host cell. Upon entry, the internalized EBs remain within a membrane-bound, host- derived parasitophorous vacuole, termed an inclusion, where they differentiate into larger, reticulate bodies that are non-infectious but metabolically active form, called RBs [24–26]. The RBs undergo proliferation by binary fission and inclusion growth, and after 8 to 12 rounds of multiplication, the RBs convert back into EBs. At 30-84 hours post-infection (PI), depending on the infecting species the infectious EBs progeny are released from the host cell, which is going through lysis, to attach the neighboring cells and initiate another cycle. However, under stressful growth conditions caused by immunological response, antibiotic treatment or nutrients starvation [27–33], the developmental cycle is disturbed and the EBs convert to enlarged, aberrant, non-infectious bodies (AB), until the stress factor is removed [25]. This in vitro state that was defined by “viable but non-cultivable Chlamydiae” involving “morphologically enlarged, non-dividing, aberrant RB” which is generally “reversible” to yield infectious EB is called “chlamydial persistence” [26,27]. Although a lot of data exist about chlamydia persistence in vitro and in murine models, not much is known about persistence in vivo and requires further

The first disease I’m going to mention is Glaucoma, according to Web MD last updated in 2015, Glaucoma is a condition that causes damage to your eye's optic nerve and gets worse over time. It's often associated with a buildup of pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma tends to be inherited and may not show up until later in life.

Pink eye is an infection in the cow’s eye if it is not treated it can cause blindness. This infection can spread fast. If they have pink eye in both eyes it kills the cattle either by not drinking water or not eating any food as the cattle can’t see if they have pink eye. Pink eye is mainly between the season of autumn and summer the reason why is because most of the fly’s are out then. Pink eye is caused by a toxin in the eye cold Moraxella bovis which effects the surface of the eye and the membranes behind the eye. The symptom of pink eye is that it causes inflammation of the eye from a bacterial infection and if not treated quick it can cause the cattle not to see. To treat pink eye you need to inject a needle in the head approximately in

It has been possible that this disease has been known since ancient times. One of the earliest probable records of this disease was recorded by the Egyptians around 1550 B.C. (Stanford, 2005). After that, the next recordings were found in India approximately in 600 B.C. and in
