Haemophilus influenzae

may be as high as 103°F to105°F. Symptoms may last for one to two weeks. Many cases are complicated by secondary infections caused by bacterial pathogens, mainly Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Haemophilus influenzae. These pathogens readily invade the body because measles damages the normal body defenses. Secondary infections most commonly cause earaches and pneumonia. Measles can be prevented by injecting an attenuated rubeola virus vaccine. At the time

related deaths have decreased rapidly, saving the lives of many. Thanks to vaccines, many diseases are now under control and eliminated in many countries. In a recent study, it was found that many major diseases, including measles, rubella, and haemophilus influenzae type b, invasive (HiB) had a 99.9% rate decrease from baseline 20th century to 2006. Even better, it showed that diphtheria, smallpox, and polio had a 100% rate decrease (Benefits vs. Risks). This is a great victory that vaccines have allowed

This syndrome is commonly caused by bacteria, such as S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae. NURSING PROFILE a. Patient’s Profile Name: R.C.S.B. Age: 1 yr,1 mo.

Case Study for Pneumonia Our nose and airway filters germs out of the air that we breathe in order to prevent our lungs from becoming infected. However, when germs does enters our lungs, it may cause infections such as Pneumonia which inflames the air sacs of the lungs, which can range from mild case to severe cases. The air sac may be filled with fluid or pus causing cough that associates with phlegm, fever, chills and difficulty breathing. The causes of pneumonia are extrinsic and intrinsic

Vaccines are ineffective for individuals with CVID as the immune system is unable to mount an antibody response to an antigen. CVID patients are unable to produce antibodies, and thus are frequently infected by extracellular bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae and

A 20-year-old female presents to her primary care physician’s office complaining of a lump on the left side of her neck. She first noticed the lump when taking a shower 6 months ago and has been “keeping an eye on it” ever since. The patient states that it is gradually increasing in size and is painless. She has no other medical problems to her knowledge and has been healthy her whole life. Her vital signs are within normal limits, and physical examination shows a solid, nontender mass on the left

The term “sepsis” has been around since prehistoric times. Hippocrates presented the word sepsis 2400 years ago to represent a condition where an overwhelming infection leads to tissue breakdown with rotting, foul odour, and disease. The ancient Roman scholar and writer (116 BC–27 BC), Marcus Terentius Varro mentioned that “small creatures, invisible to the eye, fill the atmosphere, and breathed through the nose cause dangerous diseases.” In the early 1990s at a conference convened by the American

Immunizations play an important role in not only a child’s life, but in a parent’s life. Parents have to decide, depending on their religious beliefs or a personal belief if they are going to vaccinate their child. As a child I was vaccinated and have done the same with my child. It’s the way the United States has approached the use of vaccines that people now have to have considerations about their children and getting vaccinated. Vaccinations started to be created and administered in the late 1790’s

Viral meningitis causes an increased protein and normal glucose (Al Bekairy, Al Harbi, & Aikatheri, 2014 ). 9. The most common causes of bacterial meningitis in neonates are group B streptococci and Escherichia coli. The administration of the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and the Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcal) vaccines have reduced the incidence of meningitis from these pathogens (Al Bekairy, Al Harbi, & Aikatheri, 2014 ). 10. Nursing appropriate interventions for pain and infection are
