ends when first symptom appearsProdromal – begins at first onset of symptoms; generally shortInvasion – numbers of organisms are greatest; symptoms are most pronouncedConvalescent – patient regains normal health status 32-46Apply Your KnowledgeANSWER: The four stages of illness are: Incubation – begins at first exposure; ends when first symptom appears Prodromal – begins at first onset of symptoms; generally short Invasion – numbers of organisms are greatest; symptoms are most pronounced Convalescent – patient regains normal health status What are the four stages of illness?SUPER!32-47The Body’s DefensesImmunity – condition of being resistant to pathogens and the disease they causeFirst lines of defenseSkin Sweat glandsMucous membranesCilia Lacrimal glandsSalivaHydrochloric acidLysozyme 32-48The Body’s Defenses (cont.)Resident normal flora – microorganisms found in the bodyProvide a barrier against pathogensNormally live in balanceBecome pathogenic when host’s defenses are compromisedOpportunistic infections Infections occurring when a host’s resistance is low32-49Nonspecific DefensesInflammation SignsRednessLocalized heatSwellingPain PurposeSummon immunologic agents to siteBegin tissue repairDestroy invading microorganisms 32-50Nonspecific Defenses (cont.)Steps of inflammationInitial constriction, then dilation of blood vessels, causing redness and heatFluid leakage from local vessels swellingScar tissue formationChronic inflammation Damage to tissuesLoss of function32-51Nonspecific Defenses (cont.)PhagocytosisWhite blood cells (phagocytes) engulf and digest pathogens Three typesNeutrophils – found in pusMonocytes – formed in bone marrow and become Macrophages when they migrate to specific tissuesFound in lymph nodes, liver, spleen, lungs, bone marrow, and connective tissueDeliver antigens (foreign substances) to lymphocytes32-52Humoral ImmunityLymphocytes – B cells and T cellsT cells activate B cells to produce antibodies to neutralize an antigenMemory B cells respond quickly to produce antibodies in later invasionsSpecific antibodies are produced in response to specific antigensAntibodies attract phagocytes, which destroy antigens32-53Humoral Immunity (cont.)Types of immunityActive – body produces own antibodiesNatural activeArtificial active Passive – antibodies that are produced outside body enter the bodyNatural passiveArtificial passiveComplementProteins activated by antibodiesHelps white blood cells destroy pathogens32-54Cell-Mediated ImmunityT cells attack invading pathogen directly Helper T cells ActivateKiller T cells Bind with antigen and kill itSuppressor T cells Slow down or stop attack after antigen is destroyedMemory T cellsRespond quickly to another attack by same antigen32-55Apply Your KnowledgeWhat is the difference between active and passive immunity?ANSWER: Active immunity is long-term immunity in which the body produces its own antibodies.Passive immunity results when antibodies produced outside the body enter the body.Both can be natural or artificial.Impressive!32-56Cycle of InfectionA reservoir host – animal, insect, or human body capable of sustaining pathogen growthCarrier – unaware of presence of pathogenSubclinical case – unnoticeable infectionEndogenous infection – normally harmless microorganisms become pathogenicExogenous infection – pathogen introduced into the bodyClick for Cycle of Infection32-57Cycle of Infection (cont.)Means of exit – how the pathogen leaves the hostNose, mouth, eyes, or earsFeces or urineSemen, vaginal fluid, or other reproductive dischargeBlood or blood productsClick for Cycle of Infection32-58Cycle of Infection (cont.)Means of transmission – how a pathogen spreads to a hostAirborneBlood-borne During pregnancy or birthFoodborneVector-borneLiving organism that carries microorganisms to another personTouchingDirect Indirect through fomitesInanimate reservoir of pathogensDrinking glass, door knob, etc. Click for Cycle of Infection32-59Cycle of Infection (cont.)Means of entranceEnter through any cavity lined with mucous membraneMouth, nose, vagina, rectumEars, eyes, intestinal tract, urinary tract, reproductive tract, breaks in the skinClick for Cycle of Infection32-60Cycle of Infection (cont.)Pathogen factors Number and concentration Virulence Point of entry Susceptible host Individual with little or no immunity to infection by a pathogenHost factors influencing susceptibility AgeGenetic predispositionNutritional statusOther disease processesStress levelsHygiene habitsGeneral healthClick for Cycle of Infection32-61Cycle of Infection (cont.)Back32-62Cycle of Infection (cont.)Environmental factorsDense populationsAnimals – unpasteurized milkInsectsEconomic and political factorsAvailability of transportationPopulation growth ratesSexual behavior32-63Breaking the CycleAsepsis – condition in which pathogens are absent or controlledMaintain strict housekeeping standardsAdhere to government guidelines to protect against disease Educate patients in hygiene, health promotion, and disease prevention 32-64Apply Your KnowledgeANSWER: Fomites are inanimate objects such as clothing, water, and food that serve as a means of transportation for microorganisms.What are fomites?Nice Job!32-65In Summary32.1 Infection control has been a problem throughout history. Though there have been many advances, controlling infection continues to be a challenge for doctors.32.2 There is great variety in the types of pathogenic organisms. Types of potentially infectious microorganisms include prions, viruses, bacteria, protozoans, fungi, and helminths.32-66In Summary (cont.)32.3 It is important to be familiar with the diseases that infect people so that you can protect your patients, coworkers, and yourself. These diseases include but are not limited to chickenpox, croup, diphtheria, hepatitis, influenza, measles, mumps, and polio.32.4 Antibiotic resistance of microbial pathogens is a growing problem. The number of infections for which there is little or no treatment is increasing. It is the responsibility of health-care workers to use antibiotics wisely. 32-67In Summary (cont.)32.5 The CDC began a campaign to prevent antimicrobial resistance. There are four strategies outlined in the campaign: 1) prevent infection; 2) diagnose and treat infection appropriately; 3) use antibiotics carefully; and 4) prevent transmission of infections.32.6 There are numerous human pathogens. These pathogens cause disease by damaging the body in a number of ways including depleting nutrients needed by cells, reproducing themselves within body cells, making body cells the targets of the body’s own defenses, and producing toxins that damage cells and tissues.32-68In Summary (cont.)32.7 The body is able to protect itself from disease through the use of several lines of defense. These lines of defense may be nonspecific or specific.32.8 In order for an infection to occur, five elements must be in place. There must be a reservoir host, a means of exit, a means of transmission, a means of entrance, and a susceptible host.32.9 Direct disease transmission occurs when the pathogen moves immediately from one host to another. Indirect transmission is possible only if the pathogen is able to survive outside the host for some period of time.32-69In today's world, new infections and diseases can spread across the country and even across the world in a matter of days, or even hours, making early detection critical. ~ John LinderMember of the U.S. House of Representatives, GeorgiaEnd of Chapter 32
