Tetanus is a severe toxinfection of a high gravity, characterized by cramp generalized. The causal agent of the disease = Clostridium tétani or bacillus of Nicolaier. This germ which is anaerobic is telluric i.e. it lives in the ground in the form of resistance (= spore) for a long time (of the years). One finds it in the intestine of the animals where it lives like saprophyte and it is thus eliminated with the saddles from these animals. The transmission is direct and it requires a door of entry. · Cutaneous wounds, even all small like the punctures of needles, of spines, which often even are already healed during the explosion of the disease. Let us quote also the injections, and the surgical operations, the traumatisms, etc · The umbilical wound, at the new born one · The uterine cavity after the especially criminal abortions. - The incubation period is very variable: 4 to 30 days; more incubation is short plus the disease is serious.
Le tétanos est une toxi-infection sévère d'une haute gravité, caractérisée par des contractures musculaires généralisées. L'agent causal de la maladie = le Clostridium tétani ou bacille de Nicolaier. Ce germe qui est anaérobie est tellurique c'est-à-dire qu'il vit dans le sol sous forme de résistance (= spore) pendant longtemps (des années). On le trouve dans l'intestin des animaux où il vit comme saprophyte et il est donc éliminé avec les selles de ces animaux.
La transmission est directe et elle nécessite une porte d'entrée.
· Plaies cutanées, même toutes petites comme les piqûres d'aiguilles, d'épines, qui souvent même sont déjà cicatrisées lors de l'explosion de la maladie. Citons aussi les injections, et les interventions chirurgicales, les traumatismes, etc.
· La plaie ombilicale, chez le nouveau né
· La cavité utérine après les avortements surtout criminels.
- La période d'incubation est très variable : 4 à 30 jours ; plus l'incubation est courte plus la maladie est grave.
I don't have the best answer, but I've heard it can vary from only several weeks or days, to literally years. But normally only 1-3 months. Well, that's what I've heard
after 7 - 10 days after you got polio
7-14 days
No. It is a set of neurologic symptoms which exist long after polio, itself, is experienced by the sufferer.
Polio is a disease is isn't administered to anyone - that would be silly.
Polio is a contagious viral illness that can lead to paralysis.
No. It is a set of neurologic symptoms which exist long after polio, itself, is experienced by the sufferer.
Polio is one contagious disease of the central nervous system. Another is kuru.
Although Polio is a contagious disease, it is not hereditary or genetic.
Polio is NOT hereditary. It is caused by a virus, poliovirus, that is highly contagious. A vaccine exists to prevent catching the disease.
Polio is a highly contagious viral infection. Polio can affect the spinal cord causing muscle weakness and paralysis. Polio is usually introduced through the mouth after touching stools of infected individuals.
Asthma is a respitory condition and so is not contagious.
No there is no incubation period because lupus is not contagious.
Polio is caused by an infection from the poliovirus. When a person is affected with it the virus resides in the intestinal tract and in the mucus in your nose and throat. It is usually spread through contact with the waste of an infected person. It is less frequently spread through contact with infected respiratory secretions - saliva.
It depends on what virus it is. Some viruses, like the West Nile virus, aren't contagious. Other viruses are contagious.
