Protozoa
Fungi
3. CATAGORIES OF DISEASE
MENTAL
Any disease that affects a person's mind. Sometimes a visible
degeneration of brain tissue is present,
NON-
INFECTIOUS
INFECTIOUS
INHERITANCE
DEGENERATIV
PHYSICAL
DEFICIENCY
Pathogens causing disease within the body, can be transmitted
from person to person
Any disease that is not caused by a pathogen.
A disease that is passed from parents to their children by a faul
allele.
Nutritional disease cause by an unbalanced or inadequate diet
Can lead to starvation.
Repair mechanisms failing, immune system begins to attack itse
Permanent or temporary damage to any part of the body
4. COMMUNICABLE DISEASE: It is contagious disease which can
be transmitted from infected person to healthy person.
eg: tuberculosis, flu, common cold....
NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASE: It is an condition which is
non infectious and not passed from one person to another
Also known as chronic disease.

ON THE BASES OF SPREEAD OF INFECTION
8. CHOLERA
Causative agent: Vibrio cholerae
•It is gram positive, comma shaped
bacteria.
•It is water born disease.
•It is an infection of small intestine
Symptoms:
Usually mild or without symptoms
in initially stages, but it may be
severe also as symptoms may be:
• watery Diarrhea
•Vomiting
•Leg cramps
This may lead to hypovolemic
shock, dehydration, electrolyte
imbalance in less than 24 hours. It
may lead to death also
9. Mode of Transmission
It is transmitted by ingestion of water contaminated by
faecal material from infected individual.
Bacteria enter the body and adhere to intestinal
mucosa of small intestine, where they do not invasive
but secrete cholera toxin i.e. choleragen.
Prevention
Improved sanitisation
Access to clean water
10.
11. TUBERCULOSIS
Causative agent: Mycobacterium tuberculosis
•Its is gram positive bacteria.
•It is pulmonary infection.
Symptoms:
•a chronic cough, sometimes accompanied by haemoptysis
•fevers and night sweats
•loss of weight
•malaise and fatigue
12. Mode of Transmission
•TB is transmitted mainly by inhalation of
infectious droplets produced by people with
pulmonary or laryngeal TB during coughing,
laughing, shouting or sneezing.
• Invasion may occur through mucous membranes
or damaged skin.
•Extrapulmonary TB, other than laryngeal
infection, is generally not communicable
.
Prevention
•BCG vaccination has limited the incidence of TB
13. MENINGITIDIS
Causative agent: Both Virus and Bacteria.
Bacterial Meningitis: Streptococcus pneumonia, group B Streptococcus,
and Neisseria meningitides.
Viral Meningitis: Enterovirus, Arbovirus and Herpes Simplex Virus
It is inflammation of membrane surrounding brain and spinal cord
including Dura, arachinoid and pia matter
14. Symptoms:
The first symptoms are usually
•fever,
•vomiting,
•headache
•Septicemia
•Limb pain
• pale skin
•cold hands and feet.
Mode of Transmission
The viruses and bacteria that cause meningitis can be spread
through:
•sneezing
•coughing
•kissing
•Sharing utensils, cutlery and toothbrush.
15. Bacterial meningitides Viral meningitides
Streptococcus pneumonia,
group B Streptococcus, and
Neisseria meningitides.
Bacterial meningitis is rare but
can be very serious if not
treated.
Bacterial meningitis is spread
from person to person.
bacteria are spread by
exchanging respiratory and
throat secretions (saliva) during
close (for example, coughing or
kissing) or lengthy contact
Enterovirus, Arbovirus
and Herpes Simplex
Virus.
Viral meningitis is the
most common and least
serious type
Viral meningitis spread
during close contact with
infected person.

abdominal cramps
•Diarrhea or Constipation
•Difficulty in swallowing
17. Mode of Transmission
•It may be transmitted by ingestion of contaminated
food.
• C. botulinum is non- invasive and virtually non-
infectious
Prevention:
•avoid eating food from visibly bulging or damaged
cans, foul-smelling preserved foods, foods stored at
the incorrect temperature and out of date foods.
• follow food hygiene procedures
18. Causative Agent: Streptococcus
pneumonàe.
Virus may also cause Pneumonia;
infectious agent are called acute
respiratory viruses.
Virus: Adenovirus,
Coxsackievirus A and B,
Echoviruses, Influenza viruses,
Para influenza viruses,
Polioviruses.
It is the state when air sac get
inflamated
19. Symptoms:
•Fever with chills (rapidly
rising)
•cough characterized by rusty
sputum chest pain –
• stabbing aggravated by
respiration
• Coughing symptoms of
respiratory distress Diagnostic
Mode of Transmission:
droplet,
direct contact
Bacteria may live in nose, sinus, or mouth may spread to
the lung
Cigarette smoking
20. Causative agent: Rickettsia
•It is arthropod born disease.
Ie. Vector: Fleas, mites, lice, or ticks.
•When infected arthropods bite someone, they
may leave the bacteria that cause typhus
behind.
•Scratching the bite opens the skin and allows
the bacteria to enter the bloodstream.
•Once in the bloodstream, the bacteria
reproduce and grow.
Symptoms
•headache
•fever
•chills
•rash
21. There are three different types of typhus:
•epidemic (or louse-borne) typhus
•endemic typhus
•scrub typhus
Prevention
maintaining personal hygiene
controlling the rodent population
avoiding travel to regions where typhus exposure has
occurred, or to countries that are high risk due to lack of
sanitation
Antibiotics most commonly used to treat typhus include:
doxycycline (preferred treatment)
cholramphenicol
ciprofloxacin
22. EPIDEMIC TYPHUS ENDEMIC TYPHUS SCRUB TYPHUS

Vector body louse rat or cat flea mites
Occurrence typically found in areas
of high population and
poor sanitation
found among people in
close contact with rats
or areas where rats
live
found in Asia, Australia,
Papua New Guinea, and
the Pacific Islands
Symptoms severe headache

36. Common cold may lead to:
Acute Bronchitis
This is caused when the bronchi in the lungs are inflamed as a result of either a
bacterial or viral infection. Antibiotics can only be used to treat this if the infection is
bacterial; if it is viral it is common just to treat the symptoms until the infection goes
away with time.
Pneumonia
Again this is a condition where the lungs are inflamed, but this time is due to the
alveoli filling with fluid. Pneumonia can be caused by bacteria or viruses. However, the
common cold virus does not cause pneumonia. If pneumonia occurred as a
complication of a cold the most likely pathogen would be bacterial Symptoms include
chest pain, cough, an elevated body temperature, and breathing difficulties.
Acute Bacterial Sinusitis
This is when bacteria infect the par nasal sinuses. Nasal and oral decongestants can be
used as treatment Symptoms include headache, aching of the sinuses and nasal
discharge.
