| A | B |
|---|
| ANAPHYLAXIS | EXAGGERATED HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTION THAT IN SEVERE CASES LEADS TO VASCULAR COLLAPSE, BRONCHOSPASM, AND SHOCK |
| VECTORS | ANIMALS OR INSECTS (E.G.TICKS) THAT TRANSMIT THE CAUSATIVE ORGANISMS OF DISEASE. |
| SIX STAGES TO THE INFECTIONCYCLE | INFECTIOUS AGENT, RESERVOIR HOST, PORTAL OF EXIT, MODE OF TRANSMISSION, PORTAL OF ENTRY, SUSCEPTIBLE HOST |
| ANTIVIRAL AGENTS | ACYCLOVIR, (ZOVIRAX), VALACYCLOVIR HYDROCHLORIDE (VALTREX), PENCICLOVIR (DENAVIR), FAMCICLOVIR (FAMVIR) |
| PORTAL OF EXIT | THE PATHOGENS ESCAPES THE RESERVOIR HOST BY MOUOTH, NOSE, EYES, EARS, INTESTINES, URINARY TRACT, REPRODUCTIVE TRACT, AND OPEN WOUNDS. |
| GERMICIDES, HELP CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION OF PATHOGENS | WAVECIDE, CIDEX |
| PORTAL OF ENTRY | THE TRANSMITTED PATHOGEN GAINS ENTRY INTO A NEW HOST BY THE MOUTH, NOSE, EYES, INTESTINES, URINARY TRACT, OR REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM OR AN OPEN WOUND. |
| VIRUSES INFECTIONS (VIRAL INVADERS) | CAN NOT be treated with antibiotics because viruses are not cells, but are parasites within a cell |
| BACTERIAL INFECTIONS (TINY SIMPLE CELLS) THAT PRODUCES DISEASES IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. | (COCCI, BACILLI, SPIRILLA) CAN BE TREATED WITH ANTIBIOTICS TO DESTROY OR INHIBIT THE GROWTH OF THE INVADERS |
| NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS | INFECTIONS ACQUIRED DURING HOSPITALAIZATION OR IN A HEALTHCARE SETTING; OFTEN CAUSED BY HEPATITIS VIRUSES, PSEUDOMONAS, STAPHYLOCOCCUS, COLI, ETC. |
| HANDSWASHING | WET YOUR HANDS WITH RUNNING WATER, APPLY SOAP AND LATHER USING CIRCULAR MOTION WITH FRICTION, HOLDING YOUR FINGETIPS DOWNWARDS, RUB WELL BETWEEN YOUR FINGERS. |
| FOUR SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF INFLAMMATION | ERYTHEMA (REDNESS), EDEMA (SWELLING), PAIN & HEAT |
| DISINFECTION | PROCESS OF KILLING PATHOGENIC ORGANISMS OR RENDENRING THEM INACTIVE |
| MEDICAL ASEPSIS | REMOVAL OR DESTRUCTION OF DISEASE-CAUSING ORGANISMS AFTER THEY LEAVE THE BODY |
| SURGICAL ASEPSIS | DESTRUCTION OF ORGANISMS BEFORE THEY ENTERED THE BODY |
| SANITIZATION | CLEANSING PROCESS THAT DECREASES THE NUMBER OF MICROORGANISMS TO A SAFE LEVEL AS DICTATED IN PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDLINES |
| STERILIZATION | DESTRUCTION OF ALL MICROORGANISMS |
| TYPES OF INFECTIONS | ACUTE INFECTION, CHRONIC INFECTION, LATENT INFECTION |
| CHRONIC INFECTION | INFECTIONS THAT PERSITS FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, SOMETIMES FOR LIFE LIKE HEPATITIS B |
| LATENT INFECTION | IS A PERSISTENT INFECTION IN WHICH THE SYMPTOMS CYCLE THRUGH RELAPSE AND REMISSION PHASES LIKE HERPES, COLD SORES |
| FIVE GROUPS OF INFECTIONS ORGANISMS | VIRUSES, BACTERIA, PROTOZOA, FUNGI. RICKETTSIA |
| ANTIBODY | IMMUNOGLOBULINS PRODUCED BY THE IMMUNE SYSTEM IN RESPONSE TO BACTERIA, VIRUSES, OR OTHER ANTIGENIC SUBSTANCES |
| ANTIGEN | FOREIGN SUBSTANCE THAT CAUSES THE PRODUCTION OF A SPECIFIC ANTIBODY |
| ANTISEPTICS | SUBSTANCE, SUCH AS ALCOHOL AND POVIDONE-IODINE SOLUTION (BETADINE), THAT INHIBITS THE GROWTH OF MICROORGANISMS ON LIVING TISSUE |
| AUTOIMMUNE | THE BODY REACTS AGAINST ITS OWN TISSUE LIKE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS |
| GERMICIDES | AGENTS THAT DESTROY PATHOGENIC ORGANISMS |
| PALLIATIVE | RELIEVING OR ALLEVIATING SYMPTOMS WITHOUT CURING THE DISEASE |
| PATHOGEN | A DISEASE-CAUSING MICROORGANISMS |
| PYEMIA | THE PRESENCE OF PUS-FORMING ORGANISMS IN THE BLOOD |
| TINEA | ANY FUNGAL SKIN DISEASE THAT RESULTS IN SCALING, ITCHING, AND INFLAMMATION |
| CELL-MEDIATED | IS AN IMMUNE RESPONSE THAT INVOLVES THE ACTIVATION OF MACROPHAGES IN RESPONSE TO AN ANTIGEN |
| HUMORAL-IMMUNITY | RESPONSES BY PRODUCING ANTIBODIES TO COMBAT THE PRESENCE OF A FOREIGN SUBSTANCE OR ANTIGEN |
| OSHA FIVE MAJOR AREAS | 1. PPE TO PREVENT OR MINIMIZE THE ENTRY OF INFECTIOUS MATERIAL TO YOUR BODY, 2. SPECIALIZED CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT LIKE GLOVES, FACE MASKS, FACE SHIELDS. PROTECTIVE GLASSES, E. ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION, 4. HOUSEKEEPING CONTROLS, 5. HEPATITIS B IMMUNIZATION |
| LIST THREE INFECTIOUS FLUIDS | (CSF) CEREBROSPINAL FLUID (SYNOVIAL, PLEURAL, PERICARDIAL, PERITONEAL, MUCUOUS, AMNIOTIC FLUID), BLOOD, VAGINAL & SEMINAL SECRETIONS, SALIVA AND HUMAN TISSUE |
| INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AGAINST INFECTION | THE BODY INCREASES THE NUMBER OF WBC's AT THE INJURY SITE, PRODUCING ERYTHEMA (REDNESS), EDEMA (SWELLING), PAIN AND HEAT. |
