HOSA Pathophysiology Disease Process and Terminology
homeostasis - -stability of the body Neisseria gonorrhoae - -genitourinary tract,
rectum,mouth, eye; causes gonorrhea, pelvic
inflammation, infectious arthritis, conjunctivitis
aysmptomatic - -showing no symptoms of disease
Ricketsia rickettsii - -wood tick, rocky mtn. spotted
pathogenesis - -development of disease fever
acute - -abrupt onset of more or less severe Staph epidermidis - -skin; wound infection,
symptoms that run a brief course (usually less than six bacteremia
months) then resolves or results in death
Hepatitis A virus - -infectious hepatits
chronic - -lasts longer than six months
Hepatitis B - -serum hepatits
predisposing factors (risk factors) - -makes a person
or group more vulnerable to disease (age, gender,
lifestyle, environment, heredity) Hepatitis C - -liver disease
acute inflammation - -normal protective response to Herpes simplex - -cold sores; meingitis
injury/disease, accompanied with redness, heat, swelling,
pain, and loss of function
HIV - -Aids
widespread inflammation - -marked by fever,
malaise, and loss of appetite hantavirus - -URI infection LRI infection, ARDS
necrosis - -death of tissue West Nile virus - -virus that causes fever and illness
-- can cause encephalitis or meningitis or death --bites of
mosquitos
E. coli - -colon, manure; causes enteritis infection
Aspergillus - -aspergillosis; found in soil and dust
Staph aureus - -skin, hair, anterior nares,causes
wound infection, pneumonia, food poisoning, cellultis
Candida albicans - -causes thrush and dermatitis;
found in mouth skin colon, genital tract
Strep group A - -oropharynx, skin, perineal area;
causes strep throat, rhuematic fever,scarlet fever,
impetigo Plasmodium - -found on mosquito which can cause
malaria
strep group b - -genitalia causes; urinary tract
infection, wound infection, endometritis carcinoma - -cancer of epithelial cells
mycobacterium - -lungs, cause tuberculosis sarcoma - -cancer of bone/muscle
