350 NURS Pathophysiology Exam
Emerging Infections
Infectious disease causes significant death and morbidity due to:
Reemergence of old infections
Emergence of unknown infections
Development of antibiotic resistant infections
More than 40 unknown infections have arisen within 1 generation
Microorganism and Humans
have a mutual symbiotic relationship.
Consists of a normal biome
Normal microbiome
Resident microorganisms are found in different parts of body
Produces enzymes that help digestion
Produces antibacterial factors
Produces metabolites (vitamin K and B vitamins)
true pathogens
bypass normal defenses and cause infection
Infection is usually dependent on adequate numbers of microorganisms rather than a compromise of the host's
defenses
Incubation stage of clinical infectious disease
Period from initial exposure to onset of first symptoms
Prodromal stage of clinical infectious disease
Occurrence of initial symptoms, usually mild with feelings of discomfort and tiredness
Invasion stage of clinical infectious disease
is farther and affects other body tissues
Convalescence stage of clinical infectious disease
