poliomyelitis
Not directly, no. There have been cases where people get infections that progress to the point that they cause permanent damage and I know of case where an infection triggered an autoimmune disorder and caused paralysis.Even if it doesnt typically cause paralysis, it isnt a wise decision to pierce yourself. Save up and go to a professional :)
It is characterized by fatigue and muscle weakness that at first may be confined to certain muscle groups, but then may progress to the point of paralysis
bleeding under the skin (hematoma), wound infection, and the recurrence of pressure sores. Infection in deep wounds can progress to life-threatening systemic infection.
Sounds like a moderately severe respiratory infection. The color of the expectorant assures us that an infection is in progress. This would be a good time to consider getting a doc to prescribe some antibiotics and perhaps an expectorant/anti-tussive. If you starting running a fever and it climbs over 103 orally, you're out of safe options -- off to the ER you go.
Progress of the SARS outbreak happened in 2004.
Not always. If a urinary tract infection goes untreated, it can progress into a kidney infection, but that does not always happen. If the infection is treated early enough, it can be stopped from getting worse and spreading.
Steroids should not be used to treat the ring worm infection. You may get the temporary benefit. But the disease will progress.
Without treatment, about 20% of cutaneous skin infection cases progress to toxemia and death.(coutaneus infection of anthrax) Pulmonary and gastrointestinal are 100% fatal if untreated
Abortive poliomyelitis is a mild form of the poliovirus infection that does not progress to the paralytic stage. Symptoms may include fever, headache, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. There is typically no muscle weakness or paralysis in abortive poliomyelitis.
Influenza A(H1N1) virus infects the respiratory tract, leading to inflammation and damage of respiratory epithelial cells. This triggers an immune response resulting in symptoms like fever, cough, and body aches. Severe cases can progress to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
A patient choking on a hot dog may initially result in respiratory alkalosis due to hyperventilation in response to decreased oxygen levels. If the obstruction continues and impairs adequate gas exchange, it can progress to respiratory acidosis as carbon dioxide builds up in the bloodstream.
Silicosis is currently incurable. The prognosis for patients with chronic silicosis is generally good. Acute silicosis, however, may progress rapidly to respiratory failure and death.
