Infectious and parasitic diseases

Viral hepatitis A

Viral hepatitis A (infectious hepatitis, epidemic hepatitis, Botkin's disease) is an acute human viral disease with a fecal-oral mechanism of transmission of the pathogen. It is characterized by liver inflammation, cyclic benign course, may be accompanied by jaundice.

Mycoplasmosis (mycoplasma infection)

Mycoplasmosis (mycoplasmal infection) - anthroponous infectious diseases caused by the bacteria of the genera Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma, characterized by the defeat of various organs and systems (respiratory, genitourinary, nervous and other systems).

Ornithosis (psittacosis)

Ornithosis (synth, psittacosis - psittacosis) is a zoonotic natural-anthropurgic infectious disease with an aerosol mechanism of neperacia of the pathogen, characterized by fever, intoxication, damage to the lungs, nervous system, hepatolyenal syndrome.

Cat Fault Scratches: Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Cat scratch disease (felinosis, benign lymphatic drainage, cat scratch disease) is an acute zoonotic infectious disease with a contact and transmissible mechanism of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by lymphadenitis, primary affect in the form of a papula, in some cases - conjunctivitis, angiomatosis and liver damage.

Erlihiozı

Ehrlichiosis (Ehrlichiosis) is a group of acute zoonotic, mainly transmissible, infectious diseases characterized by polymorphism of clinical manifestations.

Q fever: treatment and prevention

Treatment of fever includes etiotropic, pathogenetic and symptomatic therapy. For etiotropic treatment, antibiotics of tetracycline group and levomycetins (standard of treatment) are used. Tetracycline in the first days of the disease (before the normalization of temperature) appoint 0.4-0.5 g four times a day, then - 0.3-0.4 g four times a day for another 5-7 days, doxycycline - 200 mg / day, chloramphenicol - 0.5 g four times a day.

Q fever: diagnosis

The basis of laboratory diagnostics of ku-fever is serological methods: RA, RSK, RNIF, the results of which are analyzed taking into account the phase variations of the coxial cells, which allows to differentiate patients and recover from illness (diagnostic standard).

Q fever: symptoms

In contrast to other rickettsiosis, ku-fever is characterized by a pronounced polymorphism of symptoms, which depends on the mechanism of transmission of the pathogen. Infectious dose of rickettsia and the state of the macroorganism.

Q fever: causes and pathogenesis

Coke fever cause Coxiella burnetii is a small polymorphic gram-negative immobile microorganism 200-500 nm in size, capable of forming an L-form.

Ku fever

Ku-fever (Latin Q-febris, ricketsiosis Q-rickettsiosis, kokieellosis, pneumomicticosis, fever of slaughterhouses, pulmonary typhus Derrick-Bernet, Balkan flu, Central Asian fever) - Acute natural focal zoonotic rickettsiosis with various mechanisms of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by the development of a common reticuloendotheliosis.
