Measles is an acute infectious disease with an increase in body temperature, intoxication, catarrh of the upper respiratory tract and mucous membranes of the eyes, and spotted-papular rash.
Treatment of whooping cough is mainly pathogenetic and symptomatic. Tactics of the child's management are different depending on the severity of the disease.
Diagnosis of whooping cough is based on a typical spasmodic cough with reprises, escaping viscous viscous sputum, often with vomiting at the end of the attack, puffiness of the face. You can identify a sore on the bridle of the tongue. Of great importance for diagnosis are the successive change in the periods of the disease: catarrhal, spasmodic, resolution and hematologic changes: pronounced leukocytosis and lymphocytosis with normal ESR.
The incubation period of pertussis is from 3 to 15 days, an average of 5-8 days. In the course of the disease, there are three periods: catarrhal, spasmodic and resolution period. The course of pertussis is slow, cyclical.
Pertussis is caused by B. Pertussis - gram-negative small sticks (coccobacteria). They have a gentle capsule, immobile, strict aerobes, highly sensitive to external influences: direct sunlight kills for 1 hour, disinfectants - for several minutes, produces exotoxin (pertussis toxin, lymphocytic stimulating factor).
Cholera is diagnosed on the basis of clinical picture, epidemiological situation and laboratory results. Bacteriological method is crucial: microscopy of biomaterial preparations (stool, vomit, etc.) and seeding the material on the accumulation medium (peptone water, alkaline agar).
The causative agents of classical cholera (biovar vibrio cholera) and El Tor cholera (biovar vibrio cholera eltor) do not differ in morphological, cultural and biochemical properties from each other. These are gram-negative, curved or straight polymorphic sticks with a long flagellum providing active mobility.
Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by cholera vibrios, characterized by gastroenteric manifestations with rapid dehydration of the body due to loss of water and electrolytes with vomit and liquid stool.
The typhoid rod, or Salmonella typhi, belongs to the family of enterobacteria, gram-negative, spores and capsules do not form, mobile, grows well on ordinary nutrient media, especially with the addition of bile, facultative anaerobic.
