bacterial disease

• If a skin lesion of gonorrhea is untreated, it will enter the blood thus spreading throughout the body.
• Syphilis is a spirochetal venereal disease caused by treponema pallidum.
• Syphilis may be acquired or congenital.
• Transmission of the organism occurs during kissing, vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
• Syphilis is now common on the tongue and other sites due to oral sex.
• Primary syphilis is the first stage of syphilis, with symptoms starting about 3 weeks after infection and lasting up to 90 days.
• The first symptom of primary syphilis is often a single, small, round, painless sore called a chancre.
• Chancres are usually painless and can occur inside the body, making them hard to notice.
• The chancre disappears in about 3 to 6 weeks whether or not a person is treated.
• Chancre is the primary lesion of syphilis, a small painless red ulcer that develops during primary syphilis.
• Syphilis is a spirochetal venereal disease caused by treponema pallidum.
• Syphilis may be acquired or congenital.
• If a skin lesion of gonorrhea is untreated, it will enter the blood thus spreading throughout the body.
• Secondary syphilis is the second stage of syphilis, with symptoms beginning 2 to 10 weeks after the chancre sore appears and lasting up to 2 years.
• Transmission of the organism occurs during kissing, vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
• Mucous patches are oral lesions secondary to syphilis.
• Syphilis is now common on the tongue and other sites due to oral sex.
• The latent stage of syphilis begins when secondary syphilis ends, and can start from 2 years to over 30 years after initial infection.
• Primary syphilis is the first stage of syphilis, with symptoms starting about 3 weeks after infection and lasting up to 90 days.
• The first symptom of primary syphilis is often a single, small, round, painless sore called a chancre.
• In early latent syphilis, you may not have syphilis symptoms, but the infection remains in your body and you can infect a sexual partner.
• Chancres are usually painless and can occur inside the body, making them hard to notice.
• In late latent syphilis, the infection is quiet and the risk of infecting a sexual partner is low or absent.
• The chancre disappears in about 3 to 6 weeks whether or not a person is treated.
• If not treated, you will progress to tertiary syphilis, the most serious stage of syphilis.
• Tuberculosis may lead to iritis or loss of vision unless treated early.
• Clinical features of oral leprosy include well defined red macule, purple papules on hard palate, multiple papules and nodules on dorsal tongue, and ulcer on hard palate.
• Leprosy can cause skin problems, loss of feeling and paralysis of the hands and feet.
• Treatment for leprosy includes antibiotics such as penicillin.
• Leprosy is characterized by one or more hypopigmented skin macules, symmetric skin lesions, nodules, plaques, nasal congestion and epistaxis.
• The classic “Leonine Facies” is a facial feature similar to that of a lion, with prominent convexities and furrowed creases.
• Multidrug therapy (MDT) is the cornerstone of the leprosy elimination strategy as it cures patients, reduces the reservoir of infection and thereby interrupts its transmission.
• Treatment for tuberculosis includes antibiotics such as rifampicin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide and ethambutol (RIPE) for 2 months then isoniazid and rifampicin alone for a further four months.
• Circumscribed focus of inflammation and rubberlike necrosis, often on the skeleton, measuring 2-10 cm in size.
• Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease characterized by growth of nodules in the tissue, especially the lungs.
• Tuberculosis is caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacteria that only lives in humans.
• Gummas on the palate producing palatal perforation are a feature of leprosy.
• Tuberculosis may develop after inhaling infected droplets sprayed into the air from a cough or sneeze of someone infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis.
• Gummas can also develop on the skin, bones, stomach, upper respiratory tract, palate, or nasal passages, causing pain, fever, tenderness or tissue perforations.
• Leprosy develops throughout the body during the late form of syphilis.
