How the microbes causing meningitis and typhoid fever can induce fever and systemic shock in an infected patient?
Microbes causing meningitis and typhoid fever can induce fever and systemic shock through the release of endotoxins or exotoxins, which trigger an inflammatory response in the host. In meningitis, bacteria such as Neisseria meningitidis can release lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that activate immune cells, leading to the release of cytokines and subsequent fever. In typhoid fever, Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi can similarly provoke a strong immune response, resulting in systemic inflammation and shock. This overwhelming immune response can lead to complications like septic shock, characterized by severe hypotension and multi-organ dysfunction.
What else can I help you with?
What are disease causing microbes called?
The disease causing microbes are called pathogens.
What microbes are harmful to humans?
it depends on whether the microbes are visuses causing colds etc. or whether they are benefictial to us.
Are viruses considered microbes?
Yes, viruses are considered microbes because they are microscopic organisms that are capable of causing infections in living organisms.
Do all microbes cause diseases?
Majority of the microbes do not cause the disease. The disease causing microbes also, probably, keeps your species healthy and your immune system tuned.
Why do disseminated coagulopathy occur in meningitis?
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) can occur in meningitis due to the systemic inflammatory response triggered by the infection. Bacterial pathogens, especially those causing severe meningitis, can release toxins that activate the coagulation cascade, leading to an imbalance between clot formation and breakdown. This results in widespread microvascular thrombosis, consuming clotting factors and platelets, which ultimately may lead to bleeding complications. Additionally, the inflammatory mediators can damage the endothelial lining of blood vessels, further contributing to the coagulopathy.
When you get a disease you are said to be by it?
when you get a disease you are said to be INFECTED by it .
Is the meningitis rash painful?
The rash associated with meningitis is typically not painful; it often appears as small, red or purple spots that can develop into larger bruises. However, the underlying condition causing the rash, meningitis, can be associated with severe headaches, fever, and neck stiffness, which can be quite painful. It's important to seek medical attention if meningitis is suspected, as it can be life-threatening.
What two reasons that the acid in your stomach is beneficial?
It aids in digestionIt protect us from some microbes that are pathogens. Some disease causing microbes are present in contaminated or food that are not properly treated. The acid pH of the stomach kills those microbes and protect us from disease.
The purpose of introducing weakened microbes into the body of an organism is to stimulate the?
Immune system to react and prepare the organism to fight future invasions by these microbes.
What is a severe systemic reaction to an allergen causing serious symptoms that develop very quickly?
Anaphylaxis
What does severe systemic disease mean?
A systemic disease effects more than one part of the body. A severe systemic disease is spread throughout the body and impacts the patient's life to a large degree, causing widespread pain and suffering.
What food decay?
Its when Microbes(bacteria and fungi) grow on food causing it to decay and rot.They will multiply while on the food.
