Tess has second- and third-degree burns on her arms and face Explain why the burns that Tess suffered make her very susceptible to infection?
Second- and third-degree burns damage multiple layers of skin, compromising the body's natural barrier against infection. The exposed underlying tissue is more vulnerable to invasion by harmful bacteria, leading to an increased risk of infection. Additionally, the healing process for burns can be slow, further prolonging the period of susceptibility to infection.
What if your patient has a respiratory disease that has literally paralyzed the cilia Explain why this patient would be at an increased risk for a respiratory infection?
If a patient has a respiratory disease that has paralyzed the cilia, they would be at an increased risk for respiratory infections because cilia play a crucial role in moving mucus and particles out of the respiratory tract. Without the cilia functioning properly, pathogens and debris can accumulate in the airways, leading to an increased susceptibility to infections.
The skin infection associated with melioidosis may spread to what tissue?
The skin infection associated with melioidosis may spread to the underlying soft tissues, such as muscles, leading to a condition known as subcutaneous melioidosis. This can result in severe inflammation, abscess formation, and potentially systemic dissemination of the infection.
Is there bleeding associated with a UTI"?
Yes, bleeding can sometimes be associated with a urinary tract infection (UTI), particularly if there is irritation or inflammation in the urinary tract.
Why do postoperative patients have an increased risk of infection?
Postoperative patients have an increased risk of infection due to factors such as surgical wounds being an entry point for pathogens, compromised immune system defenses due to surgical trauma and stress, and the presence of indwelling medical devices that can serve as reservoirs for bacteria. Additionally, prolonged hospital stays can increase exposure to healthcare-associated infections.
Is susceptibility to STDs associated with developing pelvic inflammatory disease?
Susceptibility to STDs involves many factors including the individual's own immune response which helps to determine whether infection occurs. A very invasive STD infection is considered PID.
What are the symptoms of Myelodysplastic Syndrome MDS?
Signs and symptoms of Myelodysplatic Syndrome are anemia, increased susceptibility to infection, increased bleeding and bruising. Some people show no symptoms at all.
What are some symptoms likely associated with bacterial infection?
increased blood cell count
What are alternative treatments for Lyme disease?
vitamin and nutritional supplements, mostly for chronic fatigue and increased susceptibility to infection. For example, yogurt and Lactobacillus acidophilus preparations help fight yeast infections,
What are harmful effects of gamma rays?
Symptoms of radiation poisoning include: weakness, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, a tendency to bleed, increased susceptibility to infection, and--in severe cases--brain damage and death.
What is a primary cause of dermatitis in the diaper area?
prolonged skin contact with wetness. Under these circumstances, natural oils are stripped away, the outer layer of skin is damaged, and there is increased susceptibility to infection by bacteria or yeast
Due to which deficiency dental caries leads?
Bacterial infection
What is the most dangerous Sexually Transmitted Infection?
It is HIV-AIDS. Human immuno deficiency virus;Acquired immuno deficiency syndrome.
Mastoiditis is associated with what infection?
It is almost always associated with otitis media, an infection of the middle ear.
How to distinguish viral infection from nutritional deficiency in plants?
An easy way to distinguish viral infection from nutritional deficiency in plants is to look for pale looking shoots or leaves. After finding those a viral infection can be diagnosed if the entire plant has the pale color. If only a few leaves/shoots are pale that is typically not a viral infection.
Which leukocytes are increased in a bacterial infection?
Neutrophils are typically increased in response to a bacterial infection. They are the first responders of the immune system and phagocytize bacteria to help eliminate the infection.
Is Stomatitis a viral disease?
Stomatitis can be caused by a bacterial infection, an iron deficiency, a vitamin deficiency, poorly fitted dentures, burns, reaction to medication, or an allergy.
