In the late winter of 1988, pediatricians in big cities around the country started reporting large increases in the numbers of patients they saw with diffuse red rashes and high fevers (greater than 101F ). The rash, usually extending downward from the hairline to the rest of the body, began after a two-week incubation period. The spots were often so close together that the entire involved area appeared red. Sometimes the skin in such an area peeled after a few days. The rash lasted five to six days. Many of the children also suffered from diarrhea. The age group most affected was preschoolers. This was a change in epidemiology for this infection, as previcusly the disease most often struck school-age children. A vaccine had been introduced for this disease in 1963, and since then only 5000-6000 cases a year had been reported in the United States. In 1989, 18,193 cases were reported. In 1990 the epidemic peaked with almost 28,000 cases reported in the United States. Since then the incidence in this country has fallen rapidly and is again in the range of 5000-6000 cases a year. 1. What was this resurgent infection?.

Strebel 2019 measles nejm
This document discusses a case of a 38-year-old man who presents with fever and cough, and later develops a rash. The physician suspects measles. Measles is highly contagious and was eliminated in the US in 2000, but cases have been increasing since 2016 due to imported cases. Measles presents with fever and rash, and is diagnosed through IgM antibody or PCR testing of specimens. Treatment involves supportive care and vitamin A for severe cases. Prevention relies on two doses of MMR vaccine, which have reduced global measles deaths by over 20 million since 2000. However, outbreaks continue to occur in undervaccinated communities.
Coccidioidomycosis
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as valley fever, is a fungal infection caused by inhaling spores of the Coccidioides fungus. It is most common in the dry, dusty regions of the southwestern United States. Rates of the disease are highest in Arizona and California, especially in the hot summer and fall months when dust storms can spread the spores. While most cases are mild, it can develop into more serious chronic or disseminated forms if not treated. Those at highest risk include the elderly, pregnant women, diabetics, and people with weakened immune systems. There is no vaccine, but antifungal medications can be used to treat cases and prevent more serious outcomes.
The 1918 Flu Pandemic
The document discusses the 1918 flu pandemic, which originated from a virus that underwent an antigenic shift allowing it to spread easily between humans. It killed 20-50 million people worldwide and 675,000 in the US. The pandemic occurred in three waves, with a severe second wave in the fall of 1918. Even today, influenza remains a threat as the virus can undergo antigenic drift and shifts, sometimes resulting in new pandemic strains against which humans have little immunity. Monitoring efforts focus on tracking current flu strains and outbreaks.
Measles
This document provides information about measles including its causes, transmission, signs and symptoms, complications, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, vaccination, and the debunked link between MMR vaccine and autism. It discusses how measles is caused by a virus in the paramyxovirus family and is highly contagious via airborne droplets. Signs include fever, cough, rash, and potential complications involving the brain, ears, or lungs. Diagnosis is usually clinical with lab tests to confirm. There is no specific treatment beyond supportive care. Routine MMR vaccination beginning at 9-15 months has led to a significant global reduction in measles cases and deaths.
Dengue fever
Global warming is causing tropical diseases carried by mosquitoes and ticks to spread farther and increase in frequency. Dengue fever is a viral disease transmitted by day-biting mosquitoes that infects 50-100 million people annually. It causes fever, pain and potentially internal bleeding and death. While historically present in the southern US, it was largely eliminated after WWII but has reappeared in recent years in Texas and Florida due to rising temperatures allowing mosquito habitats to expand. Chikungunya virus causes similar symptoms and is also spread by mosquitoes found in the US.

Dengue fever
Dengue fever is an acute viral illness transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is caused by any of four dengue virus serotypes. Up to 3.6 billion people live in areas at risk of dengue transmission, with an estimated 50-200 million infections and 20,000 deaths annually. Dengue is most common in Southeast Asia and the Western Pacific. Climate factors like temperature and rainfall affect mosquito habitats and virus replication, influencing dengue risk. As temperatures rise with climate change, dengue transmission is expected to increase and spread geographically. Health systems face large economic burdens from dengue outbreaks. Collaboration across sectors and adapted vector control strategies are needed to manage dengue risks in a
Emerging & Re-emerging BacteriaI Infection.pptx
Microbes have existed on Earth for billions of years and will likely continue to exist for billions more. Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases are caused by various factors such as increased antibiotic resistance, changes in human behavior and demographics, ecological changes, and globalization. Some examples of bacterial diseases that emerged in recent decades include Legionnaires' disease, Helicobacter pylori infection, and Lyme disease. Melioidosis caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei is an emerging disease in India, especially among those with diabetes or alcoholism.

This document discusses dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever. It is caused by a virus spread through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. The document covers the typical symptoms of dengue fever, which include high fever, joint and muscle pain. It also discusses dengue hemorrhagic fever, a potentially deadly complication. Key points include that dengue occurrence is highest during rainy seasons and among children under 15. The largest recorded outbreak was in the Philippines in 1998 when over 38,000 cases occurred, potentially triggered by the El Niño phenomenon. There is concern another major outbreak could happen in the Philippines in 2011 for the same reason.
epidofmeasles-180920162327.pdf
Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that is transmitted through respiratory droplets. It causes a rash and fever and can lead to severe complications or death, especially in malnourished children. Before the widespread use of the measles vaccine in the 1960s, nearly all children contracted measles by age 10. Through vaccination campaigns and increased immunization rates, global measles deaths have declined significantly. However, ongoing efforts are still needed to achieve regional elimination goals and protect susceptible populations.
Epidemiology of measles
Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that is transmitted through respiratory droplets. It causes a rash and fever and can lead to severe complications without vaccination. Before widespread vaccination, measles killed millions of children globally each year. Two doses of the measles vaccine, usually combined in the MMR vaccine, are effective at preventing the disease and its complications. Public health efforts aim to achieve at least 90% vaccination coverage to eliminate measles through both routine immunization and supplemental catch-up campaigns.

The document discusses how climate change is increasing mosquito-borne illnesses like malaria in coastal areas. Rising temperatures allow mosquitos to survive longer and transmit parasites more effectively. Models show malaria distribution expanding as temperatures rise by 2030. Preventive efforts like emissions reductions, improved sanitation, and medical access can curb further spread.

The document discusses how climate change is increasing mosquito-borne illnesses like malaria in coastal areas. Rising temperatures allow mosquitos to survive longer and complete their lifecycles, enabling the spread of parasites. Models project malaria distribution expanding as temperatures rise above 17°C, threatening populations where preventative measures are not continued. Actions like limiting deforestation and improving water sanitation can help curb mosquito habitats and illness transmission.
Pandemics
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1920 was one of the deadliest pandemics in history. It is estimated to have infected 500 million people worldwide and killed approximately 20 million victims. While it originated in the United States, it became known as the "Spanish flu" because news of it was more freely reported in neutral Spain than in warring countries. The second wave in particular proved to be highly lethal, killing victims within days by filling their lungs with fluid. Doctors and scientists struggled to treat the virus effectively as there were no vaccines or antiviral drugs available at the time.
Famipop-- Dengue Trends
This document discusses dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever. It is caused by a virus spread through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. The disease causes flu-like symptoms including severe joint pain and can develop into a potentially lethal hemorrhagic fever. It is most common in children under 15 in tropical areas and incidence increases during rainy seasons. While survival is typical, millions are at risk annually and transmission is growing due to factors like population growth, travel, and inadequate mosquito control. The Philippines experiences periodic outbreaks, with a major one in 1998 potentially linked to El Niño conditions, raising concerns another could occur in 2011.

Small pox
Smallpox is a contagious, disfiguring, and often deadly disease caused by the variola virus. There are two main forms of smallpox - variola major, which has a 30% fatality rate, and variola minor, which has a fatality rate below 1%. After incubation, smallpox progresses through several stages including prodrome, early rash, pustular rash, and scabs. It is most contagious during the early rash stage. Through global vaccination efforts beginning in the 1960s, the WHO declared smallpox eradicated worldwide in 1980. However, concerns remain about bioterrorism using the smallpox virus, which is classified as a

Infecciones por microsporum
Microsporum spp infections, particularly M. canis, have significantly changed in recent decades. While historically more common in boys and involving the scalp, infections now affect all ages and genders. Deep kerion lesions of the scalp, once typically caused by T. mentagrophytes, are now often due to M. canis. Onychomycosis and disseminated infections associated with immunosuppression are also increasingly linked to M. canis. The pathogen has taken on varied clinical presentations, sometimes mimicking other skin conditions. These shifts reflect changes in epidemiology and highlight the need for accurate diagnosis and treatment of Microsporum spp infections.

EMERGING and RE-EMERGING DISEASES.pptx
Emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases pose serious threats to public health. Over the last 20 years, at least 30 new diseases have emerged which have caused 17 million deaths worldwide annually. Factors like globalization, changes in human demographics and behavior, technology and industry, microbial adaptation and evolution, and climate and weather changes have contributed to the emergence and re-emergence of diseases. Challenges include the lack of vaccines or treatments for new diseases. Coordinated global efforts are needed for disease surveillance, research, raising awareness, and strengthening public health systems and infrastructure to prevent future outbreaks.
influenza toolkit.ppt
This document discusses seasonal flu, avian flu, and pandemic flu. It defines each type and provides details about symptoms, treatment, and prevention. Seasonal flu occurs annually and kills 36,000 in the US each year. Avian flu is prevalent in birds but can infect humans through close contact. A pandemic occurs when a new flu virus emerges that humans have no immunity to, causing worldwide spread and more severe illness. The document outlines actions individuals can take to prepare for a potential pandemic, such as stockpiling supplies, practicing social distancing, and staying home when sick. Public health agencies have plans in place but individuals are responsible for their own safety during a pandemic.
Vaccination history
The document discusses several key points regarding vaccination and health outcomes:
- A study is being conducted comparing rates of chronic illnesses like autism, ADHD, and diabetes between vaccinated and unvaccinated homeschool children. Preliminary research found about 15% of homeschoolers are unvaccinated, providing a large sample size.
- The study aims to test the hypothesis that there are no differences in illness prevalence between the groups, and determine what factors are most associated with selected conditions.
- The study is a partnership between Jackson State University and the National Home Education Research Institute. It has been reviewed and approved by the IRB at Jackson State.

In order to identify genetic factors affecting susceptibility to lepr.pdf
In order to identify genetic factors affecting susceptibility to leprosy, you have examined a large
number of SNPs spanning a 2.3 megabase region of the human chromosome 6 , in unrelated
individuais with and without leprosy. This region contains two large genes "PARK2" and
"PACRG", the positions of which are shown in the below graph. Each dot in the graph
correspond to a single SNP. What does a larpe p-value indicate about a SNP? A. It is unlikely
that SNP is found associated with leprosy by chance B. It is likely that SNP is lound associated
with leprosy by chance C. It is likely that SNP is a mutation that caises ieprosy D. A lot of
indiveduals with leprosy had that SNP E. Only a small number of indivquals wih leprosy had
that SNP.

Inflation and the Quantity Theory of Money End of Chapter Problem 14.pdf
Inflation and the Quantity Theory of Money: End of Chapter Problem 14. Nobel laureate Milton
Friedman often said that "inflation is the cruelest tax." Who is it a tax on? More than one answer
may be correct. People or businesses who keep deposits in a checking account that pays zero
interest Businesses that hold currency and coins in their cash registers People or businesses who
invest in gold, silver, platinum, or other metals People or businesses who keep deposits in a
savings account that pays an interest rate higher than the rate of inflation People who hold
currency and coins in their wallet, purse, or at home.
Individuals with Swyers Syndrome (XYSRY)tend to not develop gonads. .pdf
Individuals with Swyer's Syndrome (XYSRY)tend to not develop gonads. But that invites the
question of how do YSRY - gametes show up in the first place? Since meiosis is a form of cell
division and may introduce mutations during DNA replication and distribution, gametes may
carry a genotype slightly different from the parent simply as part of naturally occurring variation.
Answer the following questions about a cross (or mating) between Parent A with a who has a
genotype of XYSRY+ but who is producing gametes that carry either an X or YSRY and Parent
B who has a genotype of XX. For phenotypes, write whether the individual has likely been
masculinized or feminized. Because of the nature of this example, the terms "mother" and
"father" have been replaced with "Parent". What is the phenotype of the Parent A ? What is the
phenotype of the Parent B?.

- 1. In the late winter of 1988, pediatricians in big cities around the country started reporting large increases in the numbers of patients they saw with diffuse red rashes and high fevers (greater than 101F ). The rash, usually extending downward from the hairline to the rest of the body, began after a two-week incubation period. The spots were often so close together that the entire involved area appeared red. Sometimes the skin in such an area peeled after a few days. The rash lasted five to six days. Many of the children also suffered from diarrhea. The age group most affected was preschoolers. This was a change in epidemiology for this infection, as previcusly the disease most often struck school-age children. A vaccine had been introduced for this disease in 1963, and since then only 5000-6000 cases a year had been reported in the United States. In 1989, 18,193 cases were reported. In 1990 the epidemic peaked with almost 28,000 cases reported in the United States. Since then the incidence in this country has fallen rapidly and is again in the range of 5000-6000 cases a year. 1. What was this resurgent infection?
