Sexually Transmitted Infections

262
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Infection01:20

Infection

7.6K
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...

Skin Diseases and Disorders

2.8K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Transcytosis of IgG01:15

Transcytosis of IgG

2.7K
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Summary

Orf, a viral skin infection from sheep and goats, can affect humans. Early clinical diagnosis of ecythyma contagiosum is key to avoid unnecessary medical tests.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Dermatology
  • Zoonotic Diseases
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Orf is a parapoxvirus common in sheep and goats.
  • It can transmit to humans, causing ecythyma contagiosum, a skin infection.

Observation:

  • An 11-year-old male presented with an orf infection on his index finger.
  • The clinical presentation mimicked other conditions, potentially leading to a prolonged diagnostic process.

Findings:

  • Orf diagnosis is primarily clinical.
  • Treatment is typically conservative and supportive.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of orf is crucial for healthcare providers, particularly in rural areas with livestock contact.
  • Recognizing orf can prevent extensive and unnecessary diagnostic work-ups for patients.
