Infection

11.5K
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

5.3K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Urinary Tract Infection III: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

190
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Stages of Infection01:26

Stages of Infection

64.5K
Stages of infection describe what happens to a susceptible host once a pathogen invades the human body. The stages of infection are incubation, prodromal, illness, stage of decline, and convalescence. The incubation stage is the period from exposure to a pathogen until symptoms start. The infected person is unaware of impending illness as the pathogens grow and multiply within the body. The duration may vary depending on the type of infection. The incubation period of measles averages ten to...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.1K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Urinary Tract Infection II: Pathophysiology

478
The pathophysiology of urinary tract infections (UTIs) encompasses several progressive stages, beginning with bacterial colonization and culminating in potential systemic complications if untreated. UTIs are primarily initiated by bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, which often originate from the gastrointestinal tract and migrate to the urinary system through the periurethral area. This migration can occur via several routes, including improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Human Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology

Background:

  • Pasteurella species are common in dog saliva and oral flora.
  • Human infections typically manifest as skin and soft tissue infections.
  • Respiratory tract infections are less common but can occur.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of Pasteurella canis pneumonia in a human.
  • To highlight the potential zoonotic transmission of Pasteurella species.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering animal contact in respiratory infections.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a patient with pneumonia.
  • Identification of Pasteurella canis as the causative agent.
  • Review of patient history including dog contact and underlying conditions.

Main Results:

  • The patient, with chronic respiratory disease and dog contact, developed pneumonia.
  • Pasteurella canis was identified as the pathogen responsible for the pneumonia.
  • This represents an uncommon presentation of Pasteurella infection in humans.

Conclusions:

  • Pasteurella canis can cause severe respiratory infections like pneumonia in susceptible human hosts.
  • Close contact with dogs poses a risk for zoonotic Pasteurella infections.
  • Awareness of this potential is crucial for diagnosing and treating respiratory infections, especially in immunocompromised or chronically ill patients.
