Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

4.8K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Standard Precaution

3.2K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Survey Safety

Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Drugs Affecting GI Tract Motility: Antimicrobials as Antidiarrheal Agents

511
Acute diarrhea, a common gastrointestinal disturbance, is characterized by the rapid evacuation of fluid stools, leading to an excessive weight in fluid. This condition typically arises from disorders affecting intestinal water and electrolyte transport. It can be triggered by an increased osmotic load within the intestine, excessive secretion of electrolytes and water, mucosal exudation of protein and fluid, or altered intestinal motility. The primary risks of acute diarrhea are dehydration...

Infection01:20

Infection

13.1K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Parasitology
  • Dermatology
  • Tropical Medicine

Background:

  • Hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans (HrCLM) is a significant zoonotic disease.
  • It is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions, including Malaysia.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent morbidity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of HrCLM in a Malaysian plantation worker.
  • To highlight the clinical presentation of HrCLM.
  • To emphasize the importance of timely management of HrCLM.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 40-year-old male plantation worker.
  • Clinical presentation of a pruritic abdominal rash was documented.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with a characteristic pruritic rash.
  • The condition was identified as hookworm-related cutaneous larva migrans.

Conclusions:

  • HrCLM is a relevant diagnosis in endemic areas.
  • Delayed treatment of HrCLM can lead to significant patient morbidity.
  • Clinicians must be vigilant in diagnosing and treating HrCLM promptly.
