Is a congenital disorder a noninfectious disease?
Congenital disorder is noninfectious disease. Although it may be a result of infection by some infective agent like rubella virus, during first trimester of pregnancy.
What is the difference between a disease and a pathogen?
Pathogen is the agent or the culprit that causes a disease while the disease is the end result of what a pathogen did. Example: HIV virus is the pathogen while AIDS is the disease state that can result from high HIV viral load.
6 essential factors in infection process of disease?
For an infection to develop, six essential factors must be present. These are an agent, a source, a method of escape, a manner of transmission, a new host and a reservoir for the infection.
Which stage of infection is the period of time between the invasion of the infectious agent into the body and the onset of symptoms of the particular disease?
incubation
Is spinal stenosis a disease or a condition?
Spinal stenosis is a condition. It is not caused by an outside agent creating an infection, but rather a problem that your body has independently developed.
Does a positive result for CMV IgG indicate a current or past infection?
Generally a test for IgG antibodies can determines exposure to the disease agent (or vaccination). The immune system responds to regions. There is a rough correlation between the amount of antibody to the concentration of antigen (what triggers the immune response) and level of antibodies, but it isn't absolute. CMV IgG indicates past infection, and does not say anything about current infection.
What is difference between Infection and disease?
The correct answer is: An infection is growth of pathogenic microorganisms in the body, whether or not body function is impaired. Disease is any change from a state of health; impaired body function. The disease state is associated with the manifestation of symptoms such as fever, pain, aches etc., due to failure of immune system to control in the first round of the growth of infectious agent (s).
What is the medical term meaning infectious agent?
pathogenAn agent of infection is a pathogen.
What chain of infection begins when a biological agent thrives within a?
The chain of infection begins when a biological agent thrives within a reservoir. The agent leaves the reservoir through the portal of exit.
How does an ELISA indirectly detect infection by a disease causing agent?
An ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) indirectly detects infection by measuring the presence of specific antibodies in a patient's serum that are produced in response to a disease-causing agent, such as a virus or bacteria. When the body is infected, it generates antibodies against the pathogen, which can be captured by antigens coated on a microplate. The amount of bound antibodies is then quantified using an enzyme-linked secondary antibody and a substrate that produces a measurable signal, indicating past or current infection. This method allows for the indirect assessment of infection by detecting the immune response rather than the pathogen itself.
Precautions to control high sed rate?
High sedimentation rates are an indicator of inflamation which can be the result of an immune disorder or infection of some sort. This can be controlled to some extent with anti inflammatory Or disease modifying drugs in the case of autoimmune diseases. and in the case of infections antibiotics or similar drugs are used to reduce inflammation by eliminating the infection.
Is there more than 1 antibiotic for a disease?
That depends on what the disease is. Oftentimes, there is more than one antibiotic that can be used for a disease. There are what are known as "broad-spectrum antibiotics", which can be used for many different types of infections, and if one of these does not help, another may. But antibiotics are ONLY for the treatment of infection, not viruses nor any other disease agent.
