Have a doctor to recognize the diagnois of the patient. Once the diagnois is found it is taken to a laboratory. So that the laboratians can check so if the diagnois is deathly or can be treated with a vaccine.

To better understand how and why a disease spread, and how to prevent further spread of the disease or diseases like it.

• The common cold, the virus can be picked up if a sick person coughs or sneezes on you or you touch objects they handled then touch your mouth, nose, or eyes.
• Ebola, the virus can be picked up by touching a sick person or a dead body of a sick person.
• Tuberculosis, the bacteria is transferred when a sick person coughs and you inhale the very tiny aerosol droplets from the cough.
• Cholera, the bacteria is picked up by drinking water contaminated with human sewage.
• Gonorrhea or Syphilis, the bacteria is picked up by having sexual contact with an infected person.
• Ringworm, the fungus can be picked up by direct contact with the affected area.
• etc.

He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. His interest is in epidemiology, particularly in the effects of climate change on the insects that pass on disease (aka surveillance and control of vector-borne diseases).

it means odds ratio

P/1-P where 1-P is the prevalence odds. This is true for prevalence values that are bigger.

Prevalence=Incidence rate x Duration (true for small prevalences)

The Black Plague swept through Europe in the mid-14th century, with one of the most affected cities being Florence, Italy, in 1348. The outbreak, caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, killed an estimated one-third of the population. The disease spread rapidly due to increased trade, urban crowding, and poor sanitation, exacerbated by the movement of rats and fleas. The devastating impact of the plague led to significant social, economic, and cultural changes across Europe.

Descriptive epidemiology focuses on time, place, characteristics, distribution and development of a hypothesis.

This describes occurence of a disease in terms of when it occurred, the place of occurence ,who is affected, what are the characteristic (presentation) signs and what guess can we make in terms of the presenting signs?

Kawasaki disease is an autoimmune disease also known as mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome as it affects the nodes with inflammtion,fever,cracked inflammed lips ,mucous linings of the mouth,red strawberry tongue,vasulitis (swelling of veins),aneurysms(swelling of artery) that affects mostly children under 5 years of age and dominant in children of Japanese & Korean descent.

Although the cause is unknown it could be due to micro organism,toxins,genetic & immune factors.

Anti inflammatory drugs like salicylic acid (asprin),plasmapheresis,gamma globulins reduce the inflammation .

Kawasaki disease was described by Dr Tomisaku Kawasaki, a pediatrician of Japan in 1960

The calculation is the number of deaths among persons of a certain age group in a year x multiplier. The multiplier is usually a large multiple of a hundred, usually 100, 1000, 10 000, 100 000 or 1 000 000.

They are used to test hypothesis such as the mean is some value where you do not know if otherwise the mean is less or more.
