Haemophilus influenzae

Haemophilus influenza was first identified by Pfeiffer in 1892, who believed it was the cause of influenza. He identified this during an epidemic. It was called the “influenza bacillus” Eventually; the error of this diagnostic association was recognized. According to the government website on diseases, the organism was given the genus name Haemophilus, meaning “blood-loving,” and the species name influenza in recognition of the historical association. Haemophilus Influenza type b is commonly

Haemophilus influenzae, a pleomorphic Gram-negative bacillus found in the human upper respiratory tract, has been associated invasive infections, such as bronchitis, otitis, pneumonia, meningitis, septicemia, and epiglottitis(1). Isolates of H. influenzae can be subdivided into two major forms, encapsulated and non-encapsulated that serotype b cause of meningitis, mainly in children below 4 years of age(2). Nontypable H. influenzae (NTHi) usually considered a commensal, is capable of produce infections

Introduction In 2006, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Health Organization (WHO) 1 published the report, Pneumonia: The forgotten killer of children which identified pneumonia as one of the world’s leading causes of childhood mortality accounting for one in five under-five deaths. The fourth Millennium Development Goal (MDG) from the 2000 summit is to reduce under-five mortality rate by two-thirds by 20151. With its significant contribution to under-five mortality, reduction

In nineteenth century Geneva, a family came down with a strange disease— one that had never previously been diagnosed. In a short time, many people in their town were infected and thirty-three people were left dead. This strange disease was later determined to be meningitis. In 1806, the United States saw its first outbreak of meningitis in Massachusetts. It was not until 1887, however, that Professor Anton Weichselbaum was able to determine a cause of meningitis: a bacterium called Neisseria meningitides

What are social determinants of health? How do social determinants of health contribute to the development of illness? What is a communicable disease chain? Are there steps that a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain? Give a specific example. Readings within your text covering international/global health and the following websites will assist you in answering these questions: 1. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Global Health website:

While it may be true that Vaccines cause harm to the body, it doesn’t change the fact that kids need to have them in order to go to school. A common argument against this is, “my kid doesn’t need any vaccines, but all children need some”. It is easy to think,” oh my kid needs all these shots so he doesn’t get a disease.” However, while some people might disagree with a child needing all of he/she vaccines, it is important to focus on if your child is exposed to a weakened version of the disease

Introduction Avibacterium paragallinarum Avibacterium paragallinarum, previously known as Haemophilus paragallinarum, is a pathogenic bacteria that cause infectious coryza, an acute respiratory diseases that associate with substantial losses in poultry industry worldwide (Blackall et al., 2005). Early descriptions believed the pathogen of infectious coryza was Haemophilus gallinarum, which requires hemin and NADH as compulsory growth factors. In 1960s, studies on bacteria isolates recovered from

when dealing with a sick child. Considerations for family centred care and why evidence based practice provides Sophia with the best possible outcome for her medical condition. To begin, Sophia is given a provisional diagnosis of Meningitis Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), also called meningococcal disease (Meningococcal Australia, n.d.). Meningitis is a viral or bacterial infection of the meninges, the membrane that lines the brain and spinal cord inside

Harmophilus influenzae protein E as an adjuvant on amount of Antibody against PRP of Harmophilus influenzae type b (Hib) in BALB/c mice Background: Haemophilus influenzae is a normal flora colonizing the mucosa of the upper respiratory tract that can cause infections in the respiratory tract. Protein E (PE) is a highly conserved 18 kDa surface lipoprotein which is found in both nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi) and typeable Haemophilus influenzae. Among typeable Haemophilus influenzae, H. influenzae type
