Micro Semi

• is the study of the structural and functional manifestations of disease

  Pathology
• is the ability to cause disease

  Pathogenicity
• is the mechanism or stem involved in the development of the disease

  Pathogenesis
• is a physician who has specialized in pathology

  Pathologist
• period between the arrival of the pathogen and the onset of symptoms

  Incubation Period
• the time when the patient feels something bad in his system, but is not yet experiencing the actual symptoms.

  Prodromal Period.
• the time which the patient is experiencing the typical symptoms of the disease

  Period of illness
• the time of recovery or healing

  Convalescent Period.
• Infections remain localized in one site of the body

  Local or Localized
• the infection spreads throughout the body.

  Systemic or Generalized
• rapid onset and followed by a rapid recovery

  Acute
• slow/insidious onset and lasts a long time

  Chronic
• come on more suddenly than chronic, but less suddenly than acute

  subacute
• is defined as some evidence of a disease that is experienced or perceived by the patient

  symptom
• is defined as some type of objective of a disease

  Sign
• and infectious disease that have symptoms for a period of time them becomes asymptomatic

  Latent infection
• is the first disease affecting the patient

  Primary infection
• is the second disease resulting from the first disease affecting the patient

  Secondary infection
• is the degree of which microorganism to cause disease

  Virulence
• strains of bacteria that have the ability to cause disease

  Virulent
• strains that are not capable of causing disease

  Avirulent
• organisms that live on or in tother living organisms(hosts), at whose expense they gain some advantage.

  Parasites
• parasites that live outside the host's body

  ectoparasites
• parasites that live inside the host's body

  endoparasites
• also known as parasitic worms

  Helminth
• 2 major divisions of Helminth

  Roundworms and Flatworms
• Helminth infections in humans

  Gastrointestinal tract and Circulatory System
• Infections acquired within hospitals or other health care facilities

  Nosocomial infection
• infections that are acquired outside health care facilities

  Community-acquired infections
• Prevents transmission of highly contagious or virulent infections spread by air or contact

  Strict
• Prevents transmission of highly transmissible infections that do not require strict isolation

  Contact
• Prevents transmission of infections diseases primarily over short distances by air drops

  Respiratory
• For a patient with PTB who has positive results of sputum smear and chest x-ray

  Tuberculosis
• To prevent infections that are transmitted by direct of indirect contact with feces.

  Enteric precautions
• to prevent infections that are transmitted by direct or indirect contact with purulent material or drainage from infected site

  Drainage-secretion precaution
• to prevent infections that are transmitted by direct or indirect contact with blood or body fluids.

  blood-body fluid precaution
• protecting the patient from cross-contamination in the hospital setting. Patient that are suffering from immuno deficient disorder or who are vulnerable to infections

  Reverse isolation
• Name the Parasite

  
• Name the parasite
