Malaria
Malaria is a parasitic disease transmitted through mosquito bites. It causes high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like symptoms. The parasites travel to the liver and infect red blood cells, causing symptoms like anemia. Diagnosis involves examining blood smears under a microscope to detect the parasites. Treatment depends on factors like location and severity, but most cases only require medication prescribed by a doctor. Prevention involves eliminating mosquito breeding sites and using nets, repellents, clothing coverage and anti-malarial drugs.

Aids
Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is a spectrum of conditions caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Following initial infection a person may not notice any symptoms, or may experience a brief period of influenza-like illness.
Aids school plan i-5
The document provides information about HIV/AIDS screening and treatment. It recommends that those who have had risky sex, sick people if prescribed by a doctor, pregnant women, blood donors, and anyone living with an HIV positive person get tested. Getting treatment early can help avoid infecting others and help HIV carriers. It describes the stages of infection from initial infection, to a dormant stage that can last 2-7 years with no symptoms, to AIDS where the immune system is severely damaged. It lists common signs and illnesses at each stage and stresses the importance of avoiding reinfection and protecting others.
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome
The document outlines the chain of HIV infection, including that HIV is transmitted through direct contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. It also discusses that while there is no cure for HIV, treatment with antiretroviral drugs can enable those infected to live long, healthy lives by suppressing the virus. Key aspects of treatment include starting post-exposure prophylaxis within 72 hours of potential exposure, monitoring viral levels before starting lifelong antiretroviral therapy, and maintaining low viral loads to prevent transmission. Prevention efforts focus on education and reducing risk behaviors.
Syphilis
The document discusses syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria. It describes the four stages of syphilis as primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. The primary stage involves a painless sore while secondary sees skin rashes and sore throat. Latent syphilis has no symptoms but the bacteria remains active. Tertiary syphilis, occurring years later for 15-30% of untreated cases, can damage organs and cause life-threatening issues like blindness. Penicillin is usually effective at treating early stages of syphilis.
Aids
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and is diagnosed when a person's immune system is too weak to fight off infections. AIDS is caused by HIV, which attacks immune system cells over time. While there is no cure for AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can prolong the time between HIV infection and the onset of AIDS. Since 1981 over 25 million people have died from AIDS, with 1.8 million dying in 2009 alone.
Aids
HIV weakens the immune system and can lead to AIDS if untreated. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids and can be spread sexually, through sharing needles, or from mother to child. While some experience flu-like symptoms soon after infection, many feel healthy yet slowly develop AIDS without medication over 10 years on average. Late-stage AIDS leaves one vulnerable to serious illness. Testing and antiretroviral treatment can prevent and manage HIV/AIDS. World AIDS Day aims to raise awareness and support for all those affected.

Tuberculosis
A potentially serious infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs.
The bacteria that cause TB are spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Most people infected with the bacteria that cause tuberculosis don't have symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they usually include a cough (sometimes blood-tinged), weight loss, night sweats and fever.
Treatment isn't always required for those without symptoms. Patients with active symptoms will require a long course of treatment involving multiple antibiotics
Common Infection
The document provides information on common infectious diseases including rubella, influenza, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It discusses the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of each disease. For rubella, it notes that while infection usually causes mild symptoms, it can harm unborn children if the mother is infected during pregnancy. Influenza and tuberculosis can be spread through the air and have varying symptoms depending on whether the infection is active or latent. STDs are transmitted through sexual contact and often have no symptoms but can cause issues like sores, rashes or bleeding if symptoms do develop. Vaccination and treatment with antibiotics are recommended to prevent and treat several of these infectious diseases.
Sexually transmitted infection (sti)
The document discusses several common sexually transmitted infections, including chlamydia and gonorrhea, which are often asymptomatic but can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease or infertility if left untreated. It also covers syphilis, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and provides information on symptoms, stages of infection, testing, treatment, prevention, and what to do if you suspect you have an STI. The document emphasizes that abstinence, monogamy, and condom use can help prevent the spread of STIs, and that one unprotected sexual encounter can lead to infection.

NDWC Chennai 2013 - Infectious Disease Control - Paula boyden
This document discusses infectious disease control and prevention in animal shelters. It explains that diseases can spread directly from animal to animal or indirectly through surfaces, air, or people. The goal of biosecurity is to minimize infection risk and effects. Diseases can also spread from animals to humans. Proper cleaning, personal hygiene, quarantine, isolation, air management, and vaccination are all important for disease control. Vaccines provide artificial acquired immunity and come in different types, with live and killed vaccines producing different antibody responses over time. Overall, vaccination as well as good cleaning protocols and shelter management are critical for effective disease prevention and control.
Lyme disease
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites. Early symptoms may include a rash or flu-like symptoms. Left untreated, later stages can involve joints, heart, or nervous system. Diagnosis involves symptoms, possible exposure, and optional blood tests. Treatment uses antibiotics. While most recover fully, 10-20% develop lingering symptoms termed Post-treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome. Prevention focuses on tick avoidance and repellent use.
Sexually Transmitted Infections

Aids (acquired immune deficiency syndrome)
HIV damages cells in the immune system, weakening the ability to fight infections. AIDS is the name used to describe life-threatening infections that occur when the immune system is severely damaged by HIV. HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, blood, or from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but antiretroviral therapy can dramatically slow the progression of the disease.
Pathophysiology of AIDS
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a chronic condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which weakens the immune system. HIV is transmitted through sexual contact, blood transfusions, needle sharing, or from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As the virus destroys CD4 immune cells over time, it can lead to AIDS if untreated. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can effectively suppress the virus and prevent progression to AIDS.
Hiv aids presentation
HIV originates from non-human primates in Africa and was transmitted to humans through bushmeat consumption and exposure to infected blood. It has evolved into a global pandemic transmitted primarily through sexual contact, blood transfusions, and from mother to child. The virus infects CD4 cells of the immune system and progresses through four stages - from an initial infection with flu-like symptoms, to a long asymptomatic stage, then a symptomatic stage with opportunistic infections, and finally AIDS where the immune system is severely compromised. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can effectively control the virus and prevent transmission from mother to child.

health Psychology HIV AIDs.pptx
HIV can be transmitted through bodily fluids and causes AIDS by attacking and destroying CD4 cells. This leaves the immune system vulnerable to infections and illnesses. While not all with HIV develop AIDS, earlier treatment leads to better outcomes. Stigma from HIV/AIDS causes social isolation, poverty, and mental health issues. Proper treatment with antiretroviral drugs can suppress the virus and prevent development of AIDS, but delayed treatment allows more harm to the immune system and higher transmission risk.

Communicable diseases of the reproductive system
Communicable diseases of the reproductive system are sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can be passed from one person to another during sexual activity like intercourse. Some common STIs include herpes, chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV. These diseases are caused by viruses or bacteria and can affect both men and women, causing issues like sores, discharge, or pregnancy complications if left untreated. While treatable with medication like antibiotics, some STIs like HIV/AIDS can weaken the immune system if not addressed.
ASSIGNMENT ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS) 1
HIV attacks and destroys the immune system, leaving the body vulnerable to infections and disease. If untreated, HIV leads to AIDS. The virus is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. While there is no cure for HIV/AIDS, antiretroviral therapy can effectively suppress the virus and prevent progression to AIDS. Treatment involves lifelong antiretroviral drugs and psychosocial support to address the psychological impacts of living with a chronic illness.
World Lyme Day Brochure
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium. It is the fastest growing infectious disease in the United States, infecting around 300,000 new cases per year. Symptoms can vary between individuals but may include flu-like symptoms initially and a characteristic bullseye rash, with potential later symptoms affecting the joints, heart, nervous system and other organs if left untreated. Diagnosis is challenging as symptoms can mimic other conditions and standard testing is not always accurate. Prevention involves avoiding tick-infested areas and thoroughly checking for ticks after being outdoors.
Basic introduction communicable
This document discusses communicable diseases. It defines communicable diseases as diseases that can spread from one person to another through various modes of transmission like air, water, food, or contact. Some common communicable diseases mentioned include influenza, polio, typhoid, measles, mumps, chickenpox, tuberculosis, and AIDS. It also discusses immunity and how the body develops immunity to diseases either naturally after suffering from an illness or artificially through vaccination. Preventing the spread of communicable diseases requires measures like maintaining hygiene, immunization, and promptly treating illnesses.
Know aids for no AIDS !
HIV/AIDS remains a significant global public health issue. Over 34 million people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS. There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, but antiretroviral therapy can effectively treat the infection long-term by suppressing the virus. HIV damages and destroys cells of the immune system called CD4 cells, ultimately weakening the immune system and leaving the body vulnerable to opportunistic infections. Common modes of HIV transmission include unprotected sex, contaminated blood transfusions, needle sharing, and mother-to-child during birth or breastfeeding. Consistent condom use and needle exchange programs are effective prevention methods.
