The document discusses several infectious diseases including measles, rubella, chickenpox, diphtheria, meningitis, and dengue hemorrhagic fever. It provides details on the causative agents, modes of transmission, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment for each disease. For dengue hemorrhagic fever specifically, it notes that reported cases in the Philippines were over 24,000 lower in 2011 compared to the previous year, with fewer deaths. Prevention strategies discussed include immunization and controlling the mosquito vector.
Infectious diseases are mainly caused by
microbes.
These are small microorganisms which are
invisible with the naked eye.
They mainly include bacteria, virus, fungi
and parasites.
The symptoms caused by infection depends
on
the location.
Nature of the infection
Type of the microbe
Dengue virus rarely causes death. However, the infection can progress into a more serious condition known as severe dengue or dengue hemorrhagic fever. Symptoms of dengue hemorrhagic fever include: bleeding under the skin. frequent vomiting.

Measles is a highly contagious viral infection.
It is exanthematous disease with fewer, cough, coryza (rhinitis) and conjunctivitis.
Before the widespread use of measles vaccines, it was estimated that measles caused between 5 million and 8 million deaths worldwide each year.
Meningitis is a severe CNS pathology and early and appropriate intervention is needed to prevent adverse outcome including mortality and long term complications. This presentation focuses on the different types of meningitis and the appropriate management options

38. IINTRODUCTION:
Philippine Hemorrhagic Fever was first reported in 1953. In
1958, hemorrhagic became a notifiable disease in the
country and was later reclassified as Dengue Hemorrhagic
Fever.
What is Dengue
Hemorrhagic Fever?
• A severe mosquito transmitted viral illness endemic
in the tropics.
• It is characterized by increased vascular
permeability, hypovolemia and abnormal blood
clotting mechanisms.
39. Occurrence:
Dengue occurrence is sporadic throughout the year.
Epidemic usually occurs during the rainy seasons June
– November.
Peak months are September and October.
DHF are observed most exclusively among children of
the indigenous population under 15 years of age.
Occurrence is greatest in the areas of high Aedis
Aegypti prevalence.
40. • The DOH reported 70,204 dengue cases for week ending September 10, 2011.
This was over 24,000 cases less or 25.87% lower than for the same period last
year. In addition, the number of cases in July and August (the peak months
for dengue) was 52% lower than last year. A total of 396 deaths were reported
for this year, which is lower than last year’s number of 620.
41. Reservoir / Source of Infection:
• Some source is a vector mosquito, the Aedes
Aegypti or the common household mosquito
• The infected person
42. Mode of Transmission:
Mosquito bite (Aedis Aegypti)
Incubation Period:
Probably 6 days to one week
Period of
Communicability:
Presumed to be on the 1st week
of illness – when virus is still
present in the blood
Susceptibility and
resistance:
All persons are susceptible. Both
sexes are equally affected. The age
groups predominantly affected are
the preschool age and school age.
Adults and infants are not
exempted. Peak age affected 5-9
years. Susceptibility is universal.
Acquired immunity may be
temporary but usually permanent.
43. Diagnostic Test:
1.) Tourniquet Test (Rumpel Leads Tests)
• Inflate the blood pressure cuff on the upper arm to
a point midway between the systolic and diastolic
pressure for 5 minutes
• Release cuff and make an imaginary 2.5 cm
square or 1 inch just below the cuff, at the
antecubital fossa
• Count the number of petechiae inside the box
• A test is (+) when 2 or more petechiae per 2.5 cm
square or 1 inch square are observed
2.) A con firmed diagnosis is established by
culture of the virus, polymerase-chain-reaction
(PCR) tests, or serologic assays.
44. Clinical Manifestations (Public Health Nursing in
the Philippines, 2007):
An acute febrile infection of sudden onset with 3 stages:
• 1st-4th day (febrile or invasive stage)
-high fever, abdominal pain and headache; later flushing which
may be accompanied by vomiting, conjunctiva infection and
epistaxis.
• 4th-7th day (toxic or hemorrhagic stage)
-lowering of temperature, severe abdominal pain, vomiting and
frequent bleeding from gastrointestinal tract in the form of
hematemesis or melena. Unstable blood pressure, narrow pulse
pressure and shock. Death may occur. Tourniquet test which may be
positive may become negative due to low or vasomotor collapse.
45. • 7th-10th day (convalescent or recovery
stage)
-generalized flushing with intervening areas of
blanching, appetite regained and blood
pressure already stable.
• Dengue shock syndrome is defined as dengue
hemorrhagic fever plus:
*Weak rapid pulse,
*Narrow pulse pressure (less than 20 mm Hg) or,
*Cold, clammy skin and restlessness
46. Grading of Dengue Fever:
The severity of DHF is categorized into four grades:
• grade I, without overt bleeding but positive for tourniquet test
• grade II, with clinical bleeding diathesis such as petechiae, epistaxis and
hematemesis
• grade III, circulatory failure manifested by a rapid and weak pulse with
narrowing pulse pressure (20 mmHg) or hypotension, with the presence of
cold clammy skin and restlessness; and
• Grade IV, profound shock in which pulse and blood pressure are not
detectable. It is note-worthy that patients who are in threatened shock or
shock stage, also known as dengue shock syndrome, usually remain
conscious.
* Grade III and IV are considered to be Dengue Shock Syndrome
47. MALARIA
• Malaria, King of Tropical Disease
• Protozoan plasmodium
• plasmodium ovale - dormant (liver)
• plasmodium vivax - benign
• plasmodium malariae - mild but
resistant
• plasmodium falciparum - malignant
(cerebral malaria)
• P. VIVAX AND OVALE MAY HAVE
RECCURENCE OF SYMPTOMS
• tertian-febrile paroxysm q24H-48H
• quartan-febrile paroxysm q48H-72H
48. • MOT
• Bite from infected anopheles mosquito or minimus flavire (night biting)
• Blood Transfusion
• Sexual cycle
• sporogony (mosquito)
• gametes is the infective stage
• Asexual cycle
• schizogony (human)
• IP (Incubation Period) 5-6 days
49. • Nursing Considerations
• Dx:
• blood extraction (extract blood at the height of fever)
• Fever, chills, profuse sweating-convulsion
• Anemia and fluid and electrolytes
imbalance, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, rigor, headache and diarrhea.
• Chloroquine and Primaquine drug of choice
• Chloroquine for pregnant women
