Shingles (herpes zoster) is triggered by the Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV), also called Human Herpesvirus 3 (HHV3), which is also causes chickenpox (varicella) ("Re: Who Discovered the Shingles?"). Over one hundred years, there have been incidents of shingles for different people. The earliest cases of shingles are over two hundred and fifty years old. The rash itself was sometimes confused with smallpox/chickenpox, so it’s a…
Fortunately, most people infected with WNV will have no symptoms. About 1 in 5 people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms. Less than 1% of infected people develop a serious, sometimes fatal, neurologic illness. Headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, or paralysis.…
Shingles 1 JoAnne O’Brien-Wallace Shingles Everest University Mod G: Nervous System, Law and Ethics, Psychology, and Therapeutic Procedures Mr. Todd 3/14/2017 Shingles 2 Shingles is an acute infection which is caused by the reactivation of the latent varicella zoster virus, which mainly affects adults. The cause of the reactivation is unknown, but it is linked to stress, aging, and or immune impairment. Shingles are characterized by the development of painful vesicular skin eruptions that follow the underlying route of the cranial and or the spinal nerves which are inflamed by the virus. Through prompt treatment of antivirals can speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of potherpetic neuralgia. Shingles are caused by the varicella-zoster…
Herpes Zoster also known as shingles affects many Americans over the age of 60 years old. Shingles is a painful skin rash that blisters over, causing overwhelming pain and irritation. If you have ever had the chicken pox there is still a decent percentage the disease is within you. The Herpes Zoster Virus lays dormant, and profound within the dorsal nerve root ganglia which is located just outside of the spinal cord. Often times the disease may become active due to stress, or even suppressed immune system which is commonly the primary factor in triggering the disease.…
Florida Beaches Home Vibrio vulnificus In the months of April and May, eight Vibrio vulnificus cases were reported with two of them resulting in death this year (Galimberti). Vibrio vulnificus is a flesh-eating bacteria that thrives in areas of warm water, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Florida beaches tend to be hot during the summer and autumn which makes Florida beaches a great place for Vibrio vulnificus to live in.…
it's miles infectious and deadly, it dying rate is almost up to 91%, however it may be avoided. it is unfold via direct contact with body fluids like sperm through blood , through urine or even saliva of someone that is affected and also a place that have been contaminated any used equipments, like dirty from any frame…
The Variola Virus The Variola virus, which exists in two strains, Variola Minor and Variola Major, has been the cause of one of humanity’s most devastating diseases -- smallpox. This disease is around 200-400 nanometers small and is oval or brick-shaped. The Variola virus, and including all other viruses, are not considered alive. They reproduce by coming in contact with a host cell (for the Variola strains, human animal cells) and injecting their DNA into the host to take its functions over.…
Your first exposure of this virus usually as a child leads to the disease popular to all of us, chickenpox. It causes itchy and painful sores spread all over the body. After one acquires and recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays in the body and remains dormant there for years. For many people it can stay dormant forever. However there are also instances when this virus is reactivated and travels from the nerve fibers to the skin causing shingles.…
This virus used to be contagious, differing, and it is often deadly. “The systems that people may experience with small pox, the pain area: is in the back or muscle, skin: rashes, small bumps, blister, scabs, and scars. The whole body you get fever, malaise, and chills, also common headache and vomiting” If smallpox came up with a vaccine it can prevent people from getting this deadly disease but the vaccine’s side effect risk is too high to justify routine vaccination for the people at low risk of exposure to the…
What is smallpox exactly? Smallpox is actually the nickname of the virus, the scientific name is Variola which may appear as V. major or V. minor. Variola virus is relatively stable in the natural environment. If aerosolized, it will retain its infectivity for at least several hours if not exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light. Since the virus is two hundred and sixty by one hundred fifty nanometers and contains a molecule of double stranded DNA putatively coding for some two hundred different proteins; makes smallpox one of the largest viral genomes known which makes it especially difficult to create a synthetic copy of the virus for medical purposes.…
The rash appears on the face first and travels to the arms and legs progressing into red papules and larger blisters known as pustular vesicles. These pustular vesicles are primarily focused upon the individual’s face and arms. Due to similarities of the onset of a rash as the first symptom, smallpox is sometimes mistaken a chickenpox. Death usually occurs within the first or second week of the onset of the disease and is seen in fatal cases. Although there is no treatment that is effective in the treatment of smallpox, being vaccinated against the disease has been proven to leave the individual immune to smallpox (Nelson, 2014)…
As colonists and slaves joined the Native Americans in the United States, they brought contagious and deadly diseases that endangered their lives. Neither the Native Americans, African slaves, nor the Europeans carried immunity to these diseases because they didn’t have previous exposure to them. This caused the population to decrease.…
