Types of Fever01:25

Types of Fever

1.5K
Fever can be triggered by several factors, including infections, nervous system disorders, certain cancers, blood diseases like leukemia, embolism, thrombosis, heatstroke, dehydration, surgical trauma, crushing injuries, and allergic reactions.
Here are the different types of fever:

Cytomegalovirus Disease01:27

Cytomegalovirus Disease

73
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Increased Body Temperature01:25

Increased Body Temperature

7.8K
A body temperature above  38°C  (100.4 °F) is known as fever or pyrexia, and a person with fever is termed 'febrile.' Typically, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that acts as the body's thermostat, regulates body temperature through a thermoregulatory setpoint. It receives signals from cold and warm thermal receptors throughout the body and adjusts the body's temperature accordingly. Fever occurs when this hypothalamic setpoint is altered, usually in...

Bacterial Meningitis I: Introduction01:22

Bacterial Meningitis I: Introduction

4
Bacterial meningitis is a severe, life-threatening inflammation of the meninges, particularly the pia mater and arachnoid mater, affecting the subarachnoid space, ventricles, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). If untreated, it can lead to significant neurological complications or death.Causative AgentsCommon pathogens vary with age and immune status. In adults, major organisms include Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Haemophilus influenzae. Streptococcus agalactiae (group B...

Atypical Pneumonia01:14

Atypical Pneumonia

72
Atypical pneumonia, often caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae, is a form of pulmonary infection that differs from the classical presentation of bacterial pneumonia in both its cause and clinical symptoms. Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a pleomorphic bacterium notable for its lack of a rigid cell wall. This structural characteristic imparts resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics and significantly influences the bacterium’s behavior within the human host.Other pathogens responsible for the disease...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Virology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Ruminant Health

Background:

  • Malignant catarrhal fever (MCF) is a severe, often fatal, infection affecting artiodactyls worldwide.
  • Caused by MCF virus group (Gammaherpesvirinae), MCF significantly impacts livestock economies.
  • Wildebeest-associated MCF (WA-MCF) and sheep-associated MCF (SA-MCF) are key epidemiological forms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of Malignant catarrhal fever.
  • To detail etiological agents, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and prevention strategies.
  • To highlight advancements in studying SA-MCF due to molecular tools.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on MCF.
  • Analysis of molecular tools enabling SA-MCF research.
  • Comparison of WA-MCF and SA-MCF characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Historical MCF research focused on WA-MCF due to in vitro propagation.
  • SA-MCF characterization was limited by the inability to propagate its causative agent in vitro.
  • Molecular advancements have facilitated more definitive studies on SA-MCF.

Conclusions:

  • MCF remains a significant disease in artiodactyls with major economic consequences.
  • Advances in molecular technology are crucial for understanding and managing SA-MCF.
  • A comprehensive understanding of MCF agents, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and prevention is essential for control.
