• types of bronchitis

  • acute and chronic bronchitis
• Acute bronchitis is usually caused by a viral infection and goes away on its own in a few weeks. Most people don’t need treatment for acute bronchitis.
• acute bronchitis Is caused by the viruses influenza , respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) adenovirus, rhinovirus and coronavirus.
• Chronic Bronchitis is more serious. It keeps coming back or doesn’t go away
• Cigarette smoking is a major cause of chronic bronchitis.
• Bronchitis is spread from person to person through respiratory droplets when the infected person coughs or sneezes.
• It can also be spread when droplets spread the infection to surfaces that are then touched by other people.
• Common signs of bronchitis include a sore throat, coughing, breathlessness, and a runny or stuffy nose.
• to treat bronchitis, rest and fluids, over-the-counter medications, and antibiotics if caused by a bacterial infection. Taking a hot shower, using steam or humidifiers at home, and avoiding irritants that can worsen symptoms such as secondhand smoke are also recommended.
• Tuberculosis


  A potentially contagious bacterial infection that mainly affects the lungs, but can also spread to other parts of the body
• Tuberculosis

  • Can spread to the brain, kidneys, and spine
• If you experience TB symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible
• A healthcare professional can perform tests to determine if you have TB and provide treatment
• It is important for patients to take their medications regularly and complete the treatment in order to effectively cure the disease
• It is also important for patients to receive supportive care
• Individuals with TB should seek medical treatment and follow the prescribed regimen to prevent the spread of the disease
• POLIO


  I am the one who causes the disease called Polio
• The poliovirus is the cause of the crippling and potentially fatal disease known as poliomyelitis or polio. The virus is contagious and can infect a person's spinal cord, paralyzing them so they are unable to move any part of their body.
• Polio is an ancient disease, but epidemics of the disease did not start to occur until the latter part of the 19th century.
• Apolinario Mabini was also infected with polio disease, but that did not stop him from helping the Philippines.
• TRANSMISSION

  1. The virus is transmitted via droplets or aerosols from the throat and by faecal contamination of hands, utensils, food and water

  2. The only known reservoir for the polio virus is humans. The virus spreads by aerosols or droplets from the throat and by contaminating hands, cutlery, food, and water with feces. Although the oro-oral route is also feasible, person-to-person contact and the faeco-oral route account for the majority of transmissions.
• Initial symptoms of Polio


  • Fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness of the neck and pain in the limbs
  • Muscle aches, nausea, loss of appetite, etc.
• Cure/prevention

  • Get the vaccine for polio
  • Practice good hand hygiene and wash hands often with soap and water
• As of now, Polio has no known cure; only symptom relief is available. Antispasmodic medications are used to relax the muscles, while heat and physical therapy are utilized to activate them. Although it can increase movement, therapy cannot treat irreversible polio paralysis. Immunization is a preventive measure against polio.
• symptoms of tubercolosis

  • chest pain
  • fatigue
  • fever
  • coughing up blood
  • shortness of breath
  • persistent cough
• treatment or cure of tubercolosis

  • isoniazid
  • ethamburol
  • streptomycin
  • rifampin
  • pyrazinamide
• Dengue (break-bone fever) is a viral infection that spreads from mosquitoes to people. It is more common in tropical and subtropical climates.
• Dengue viruses are spread to people through the bite of an infected Aedes species (Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus) mosquito. These mosquitoes also spread Zika, chikungunya, and other viruses.
• Dengue is caused by a virus of the Flaviviridae family, Flavivirus genus, which includes viruses such as yellow fever virus, West Nile virus (WNV), and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus.
• The dengue virus is primarily transmitted from person to person through the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquito. Humans are the primary host and source of virus for female mosquitoes to acquire DENV through a blood meal from viremic humans.
• sign

  • headache, fever, joint or muscle pain
• symptom

  • rashes, vomiting, nausea
• treatment or cure

  • drink plenty of water, take plenty of rest, take medicines (acetaminophen)
• Diphtheria


  A severe bacterial infection that typically targets the mucus membranes in the nose and throat
• Diphtheria is exceedingly uncommon in the United States and other developed nations, largely due to the extensive implementation of vaccinations against it
• Corynebacterium(Co-ri-ni-bac-terium) diphtheriae


  The bacteria that cause diphtheria and have the potential to generate a toxin that can harm the tissue in the affected region, typically the nose and throat
• How diphtheria transmits

  1. Respiratory droplets produced during coughing or sneezing

  2. Contact with objects used by an infected person, such as used tissues or hand towels

  3. Touching an infected wound. In rare instances, the skin can originate from skin lesions
• Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing diphtheria and is recommended as part of routine childhood immunizations
• corynebacterium diphtheriae

  this membrane can impede normal breathing
• signs and symptoms of diphtheria

  manifest to 2-5 days

  1. discharge from the nose
  2. Fever accompanied by chills
  3. Challenges in breathing or accelerated breathing
  4. Swelling of the glands, or enlarged lymph nodes, in the neck
  5. Throat discomfort and a hoarse voice
  6. A dense, grayish coating over the throat and tonsils
