This document discusses the role of pharmacists in educating the public and preventing the spread of AIDS. It outlines four approaches to controlling AIDS: prevention through education about avoiding risky behaviors and using protection; preventing blood-borne transmission by screening donations; treating the disease with antiretroviral drugs; and providing preventive care like prophylaxis for opportunistic infections. The document also lists common antiretroviral drugs and their doses and discusses integrating primary health care for AIDS patients.
Scrub typhus, also known as bush typhus, is a disease caused by a bacteria called ORIENTIA TSUTSUGAMUSHI.
Scrub typhus is spread to people through bites of infected chiggers (larval mites).
Most cases of scrub typhus occur in rural areas of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, China, Japan, India, and northern Australia. Anyone living in or travelling to areas where scrub typhus is found could get infected
Scrub typhus is not transmitted directly from person to person; it is only transmitted by the bites of vectors
Chiggers are abundant in locales with high relative humidity (60%–85%), low temperature (20°C–30°C), low incidence of sunlight, and a dense substrate-vegetative canopy.
Occupational risk is higher in farmers (aged 50–69 years), females.

Influenza, zika, ebola in pregnancy by dr alka mukherjee nagpur m s indiaalka mukherjee
Viral infections in pregnancy are major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Infections can develop in the neonate transplacentally, perinatally (from vaginal secretions or blood), or postnatally (from breast milk or other sources). The clinical manifestations of neonatal infections vary depending on the viral agent and gestational age at exposure. The risk of infection is usually inversely related to gestational age at acquisition, some resulting in a congenital malformation syndrome.
Infections known to produce congenital defects have been described with the acronym TORCH (Toxoplasma, others, rubella, cytomegalovirus [CMV], herpes). The "others" category has rapidly expanded to include several viruses known to cause neonatal disease
Pregnant women, their fetuses, and infants are at a high risk of exposure to infectious diseases, especially in low-income regions of the world where vaccine-preventable diseases are prevalent. Vaccines administered during pregnancy can protect not only pregnant women against infection-related morbidity and mortality, but also their fetuses and infants against preterm delivery, perinatal death, and disability. viral infections and human rights.
Pregnant women, their fetuses, and infants are at a high risk of exposure to infectious diseases, especially in the resource-poor and low-income regions of the world where vaccine-preventable diseases are prevalent. Because of this, vaccines administered during pregnancy offer the potential to protect not only pregnant women against infection-related morbidity and mortality, but also their fetuses and infants against preterm delivery, perinatal death, and disability. The potential benefits of providing immunization to pregnant women and their infants to protect against infection are not a novel concept—even during the early development of vaccines, their usage during pregnancy was considered potentially beneficial.

1. Role of Pharmacist in
Education and Prevention.
Presented By Miss Sudipta Roy
Associate Professor Bangalore India
2. • There are four basic approaches to control of AIDS.
• 1. Prevention.
• It includes two components.
• a. Education.
• Education about avoiding indiscriminate sex, use of
condoms is suggested. Use of shared razors and tooth
brushes should be avoided. Intravenus drug users
should be informed that sharing of needles and
syringes is risky. Women suffering from AIDS should
avoid pregnancy. Educational material and guidelines
should be readily made available to the public. All mass
media channels shoul be involved in educating the
people on AIDS, its nature, transmission and
prevention.
3. • Prevention of blood-borne HIV transmission:
People in high risk groups should be urged to
refrain from donating blood, body organs, sperm or
other tissues. All blood samples should be screened
for HIV1 and HIV2 before transmission. Strict
sterilization practices should be preferred.
Infections should be avoided.
4. • Antiretroviral treatment:
• Three kinds of antiretrovirall drugs are available.
They are nucleoside analogs, protease inhibitors
and non-nucleoside reverse transciptase inhibitors
(NNRTIs). Names and dosages of these drugs are
indicated in the Table.
8. Preventive Care.
• Specific prophylaxis:
• Primary prophylaxis against P. carinii pneumonia
should be offered to patients with CD4 count below
200cells/microlitre. Prophylaxis against M.
tuberculosis is 300mg isoniazide daily for 9months
to one year. Oesophagal candiasis or recurrent
vaginal candidiasis can be treated by fluconazole or
ketoconazole. Herpes simplex infection and Herpes
zoater can be treated with acyclovir or foscamet.
9. • Primary health care:
• AIDS touches all aspects of primary health care,
including mother and child health, family planning
and education. It is necessary that primary health
care of AIDS should be integrated with
comprehensive primary health plan.
10. • Define the term epidemiology and elaborate on an
epidemic, endemic and pandemic.
• Describe epidemiology of communicable diseases.
• Describe causative agent, clinical presentation and
role of pharmacists in following infections:
• Tetanus
• Leprosy
• STDs
• HIV/AIDS
• Trachoma
